My blog and I have been nominated for the The Very Inspiring Blogger Award!
Thank you so much, Dale Furse, for nominating my blog for The Very Inspiring Blogger Award! I am honored!
Dale is a children’s and YA fantasy author/ playwright/ songwriter/ poet who writes science-fiction novels, as I do. Please visit Dale: https://dalefurse.wordpress.com to find out more about her, her books, her reviews and more. She lives in Australia, so be aware of the time difference between there and where you live, if you’re not also Down Under!
The Very inspiring Blogger Award rules are as follows:
–Display the award on your blog
–Link back to the person who nominated you
–State 7 things about yourself that most people may not know
–Nominate 15 (I CHOSE 16!) bloggers, link to them, and notify them about their nominations
Seven things most people do not know about me…
- I am no longer even 5 feet tall (I used to be almost 5’2″).
- My first publication experience was to have a poem placed in my elementary school’s newsletter; I was 9 years old.
- I studied faith healing in the Philippines in 1986.
- My play, Crystal Dreams, was selected to be and was performed at Theatre-by-the-Sea at its end-of-summer New Playwrights’ Festival in 1984.
- I began playing the piano and composing at age 3 but didn’t get formal lessons until age 9 because someone told my parents to wait until my hands got larger. I was aiming to become a concert pianist, having placed highly in a regional competition at age 13, but my hands did not grow from age 11 on.
- I am now living about ten minutes’ drive from where I grew up after having lived elsewhere (on both coasts and in New Mexico) for 42 years.
- I learned to swim and to read at age 3; I still do both.

I haven’t played professionally in a few years and not for money in over twenty, and since August, I don’t live with one in my home. Miss it. Thanks for visiting and commenting, and especially for the nomination, Dale! Best to you and Happy New Year!
