BLOG AWARDS!!!

Nancy Laronda Johnson, author of “Anticipation of the Penitent”, has done something that I never expected in my days of writing a blog: nominate me for several awards! My face must have been glowing with embarrassment when I saw the comment from her this morning. Here I am, just a person trying to make sure that people are aware of what they are getting into before they pick up a book or go to a movie, and she nominates me!!




Needless to say, I am honored and humbled and will accept the awards listed below and will pass on the honors to those people that are in my opinion better at this than me.

First up is:
Awarded to me from Writer's Mark




Very Inspiring Blogger Award Rules



1. Display logo in your blog to show you've been nominated!

2. Link back to your nominator.

3. Share 7 things about yourself.

4. Nominate 15 other bloggers for the award.

5. Notify your nominees.



Here are 7 things about me:

1. I try to write every day, even if it is for fifteen minutes, to try and hone my abilities and make them better than they were before.

2. I have been on a weight loss site called MyFitnessPal.com since 2009, and have been trying to lose the same 40 pounds three times now; am not a happy camper.

3. I think that this summer’s movie crop will be the best that have come out ever simply because of MAN OF STEEL!

4. I have been going to a new church an hour from home that has expanded my way to worship and experience God in a new and awesome way. Every Sunday I get something that I had never thought of before

5. My first two dogs were named after two supporting characters in my first full length novel: Grey Wolfe and Sapphire Storm. I just started rewriting this book earlier this month and hope to have it ready for an agent by the end of the year.

6. I do not put down a book until I have finished it, no matter how bad it is.

7. I love to meet people, and try to be friendly to everyone that I meet, at least at first.


The next award I was nominated for is:
