And now for my 5 nominations for the Versatile Blogger Award:
1. Tess HardwickThis is a lovely blog. Tess is a beautiful writer full of imagery and lightness. But she also has delightful stories to share about herself. Hers is a blog I rush to when she posts. I'm often inspired and always engaged.
2. Jason Jack Miller
I was drawn to his site by his novel - an Appalachian noir thriller. What's not to love? But he's a musician/music lover, as well, and so I find his posts to be fascinating and varied. He promotes his book very well.
3. Laura Matson Hahn
Laura is journaling her way through publishing a book. She is professor, prophet, peer, and poet. Sometimes, I swear she's writing just for me, so well she understands and explains.
4. Suenammi Richards
Sue's blog is sumptuous. She makes me think of a Sandra Cisneros' poem! The blog is beautiful visually as well as intellectually. I make meals of her posts.
5. Jessica and Stephanie as Fairday Morrow
Being a mystery lover since I was small, I am a huge fan of this site. I pop in for the riddles and sometimes, just to reread the first five pages of the delightful Middle Grade novel. It feeds the child in me. The art is wonderful and the audience well served.
Thank you, Tania, for my nomination and congratulations to those I've nominated. Please check all the links out!
