I’m thrilled to have been nominated for a Very Inspiring Blog Award by Julie Stock, whose wonderful blog My Writing Life can be seen here. Thank you, Julie!

Here are the rules of the award:

• Thank and link to the person who nominated you.
• List the rules and display the award.
• Share seven facts about yourself.
• Nominate 15 other amazing blogs and comment on their posts to let them know they have been nominated.
• Optional: follow the blogger who nominated you, if you don’t already do so.

Right, seven facts about me. I’m going for the random approach here:

1. As a teenager I bred and showed guinea pigs
2. My debut novel is being published at the age of 58. It really is never too late!
3. I love chocolate
4. I drive a bright red sports car
5. I was in Wyoming on a ranch holiday on 9/11  
6. I’m a late convert to the music of Led Zeppelin (courtesy of my husband)
7. I have played midwife to numerous cows and sheep

And now for my 15 nominees:

1. Sally Jenkins – A Writer on Writing
2. Morton Gray – Morton S Gray
3. Linda Chamberlain – Naked Horse
4. Tora Williams – Tora Williams
5. Bella Osborne – Bella Osborne Writes
6. Rachael Thomas – Rachael Thomas Romance Writer
7. Jessica Gilmore – Sprig Muslin

The eagle-eyed amongst you will notice I have only nominated 7 other bloggers. I’m not too hot on maths, but even I can see that if every blogger nominates 15 others we will shortly run out of bloggers. That’s my excuse anyway, I hope I will be forgiven.
