News, Views and Reviews and Bloglights Spotlights too!
I quote some of the wording of the email below:
"An article you wrote in 2012 titled
ABC of Thriller Writing... has earned your blog a nomination
for a Fascination Award: 2012's Most Fascinating Creative Writing Teacher
blog.
The comments posted in response to your post prove that your content not only inspires your audience, but it also creates discussion around your posts, both of which are requirements for the nomination of a Fascination award."
Now isn't that just great?? It is indeed, an honour to be nominated. It's certainly boosted my monday mroning! What a lovely surprise. Whoooooo....
So everyone please go vote for me on or after 23rd JULY!
On to other stuff...
I have had a pretty busy week socialising as I’ve had
visitors to stay with us ( actually my
mum) so we’ve been out and about quite a bit and, of course eating and drinking
out rather more than usual! Well, that’s my excuse, anyway for not sticking to
the diet!
However, I have
managed to increase promo stuff for my book “The Afterlife of Darkmares” . It
is available on Amazon – both as a paperback and kindle e- book. The Afterlife of Darkmares Do buy!!! I am a bit desperate for one or two
reviews too so if anyone has read it, do let me know what you think. All
comments very welcome – whether good or bad…
Anyway it’s back to normal routine next week… sigh… I will
miss the wine and cream cake though!
So here goes for this week's Bloglight Spotlight tour:
Ta ta ta ta da da Da! ( fanfare!!)
In the Bloglights this week are:
Firstly author Stephen Tremp
Stephen’s blog is full of fascinating other-worldly items.
He is an accomplished writer of scifi thrillers and I love visiting his blogs
as he makes me think about our world and the way we live. He is also quite
witty and often makes me smile. He is (in his words) ‘One of a kind’ of
thriller writer.
Next is em-musing ( Leigh Caron)
Leigh says her blog is ‘one woman’s slant on life and
writing’ and it is certainly full of humour and wit. Em-musing is a very
different blog written in a poetic way. I love her style – she says it like it
is but her posts are never long and boring. Leigh writes with great style and
in my opinion she is well worth a visit.
Thirdly Carolyn Arnold
Carolyn is another mystery, thriller, suspense writer who
has several published books to her name. Her blog focuses mainly on the
business and mechanics of writing and she contributes to other blogs too. I
enjoy reading Carolyn’s blog as it is interesting, insightful and informative.
Lastly E.D. Of (Not) just another writer E. D.
E.D is a ‘wanna be’ author who writes great opinion-style
posts. Again they are short and to the point, mostly about writing, but I love
her straightforward approach. Her blog is well set out and easy to navigate and
very easy to read.
So there we have it – four more great blogs for you to try
out. ENJOY!!!
Have you ever received an unexpected nice surprise in monday morning email?
