Versatile Blogger Award

While I was away in London, Teresa Morgan awarded me the 'Versatile Blogger' Award.

Thank you so much for this Teresa - specially as it says that you will have awarded it to me as one of the bloggers you have recently discovered and think are fantastic - that's a real compliment.

Linking back to Teresa's blog, you can find her here.






So, I've done the first part of this list of how this works -



Thank and link back to the person who gave you this award.


I apologise in advance because I'm only going to do part of this - the excuse is time or, rather, the lack of it. Plus the fact that the only new 'blog' I've discovered recently has been the M&B New Voices site. I am already far too tempted to read too many blogs that I've been interested in for a long time - but if I was listing 15 blogs worth reading/ that I visit regularly then they would be (in no particular order)

1. Anne McAllister

2. Liz Fielding

3. Pink Heart Society

4. I heart Presents

5. Tote bags 'n' Blogs

6. Jessica Hart

7. Julie Cohen

8. The Heroine Addicts (Now that is a new blog I've just discovered )

9. Sarah Duncan

10. The RNA (Romantic Novelists' Association)

11. Kate Hardy

12 The Harlequin Blog

13. Michelle Styles

14. Donna Alward

15. Stephen Wade (can't leave out the Babe Magnet!)

"Contact the bloggers you've picked and let them know about the award."

Pass - they aren't new to me and time is far too precious right. If they visit here and want to grab the award - they are so welcome but I'll bet that half of them have been awarded it already -
Share 7 things about yourself.

Oh dear - 7 things I haven't already shared . . . I 'm sorry Teresa, I can't guarantee these are new . . .

1. I am one of a family of five girls. The middle one to be precise

2. My writing name comes from my maternal Irish grandmother

3. The reddish tint in my hair comes from her too.

4. I'm afraid the whole Twilight thing has passed me by. I tried - read the first couple of books, watched the films . . . no - it doesn't touch my imagination

5. I am hopelessly addicted to Coronation Street

6. I am SO looking forward to going to see John Simm as Hamlet in Sheffield soon

7. I sometimes do joint talks with my husband as 'Crime and Passion'

PS Like everyone else - or, certainly all the entrants to the New Voices Contest, I'll be watching the New Voices web site to see whose first chapter has made it into the Top Ten this morning.

Once again good luck to everyone who entered.
