MY FIRST AWARD


So I signed onto my blog today and guess what? I was nominated for the stylish blog award. What a nice surprise.




Thanks to Liz Davis of http://novel-moments.blogspot.com/ for
nominating me. I'm honored.

The rules for accepting this award are:

Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award

Share 7 things about yourself

Award 10 recently discovered great bloggers

Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award

Here they are, seven things about myself.

1. I was born and raised in Montreal, spoke French although I am English born, but since living in British Columbia,  I have to say I've lost a lot of the language.

2. I am a grandmother of nine grandchildren, aged seven months to seventeen, five girls and four boys.

3. I love to write, sing, and read.

4. I'm married to a very talented artist who shares my love of music and reading.

5. I belong to an on line writer's group, the golden girls, on Critique Circle, the best online group there is. I owe my publishing success to this site.

6. I live in the beautiful interior of British Columbia, surrounded by mountains, lakes, and wildlife such as bears, coyotees, mountain lions, and have my own trout stream running through my property where I love to sit and create characters and plots.

7. My first book is being published sometime in the fall and I'm thrilled.

My nominees are:

Thankew very much. I'm working on my post.

Hey, we're fellow CCers! I've run a ton of stuff through the queues there. I'll look you up.

Okay, so who's your publisher? Would it rhyme with OozeItUp?

June V. Bourgo, Author said...

Hey Marva,

My publisher is Asteroid Publishing. I think we crit with a fellow critter, Wanita May, but on different queues.

Oh, yeah! Wanita. I'm so happy she got her contract for Rae of Hope. I enjoyed the book when I critted it.
