The Liebster Award

Thank you to Katie L. Carrol at the Observation Desk http://katielcarroll.com/the-liebaster-award/ for passing on the Liebster Award to me.

What is the Liebaster Award you ask? Well, it's an award given to up-and-coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers. Think of it as a virtal pat on the back. A bit of recognition for doing a good job and encouragement to keep going. And let's not forget the bloggers that have been blogging for awhile and have great blogs.

Now for the questions.

1. If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you would purchase?

A bigger house so that I can have an office just for writing in.

2. Is there something unique about you that you'd like to share with the readers?

I can't think of anything unique about myself to share right now.

3. Where is your dream place to live and why?

My dream place to live would be a cabin in the woods. It's quiet. I can picture myself sitting on the porch writing and observing the beauty and spookiness of the woods.

4. What do you find is the most difficult part of the writing process?

Knowing when to stop revising and let my baby go.

5. Tell us something about yourself that we don't know?

I used to be a very shy person, but not so much anymore. But don't ask me to get up and talk in front of a crowd.

6. Do you have any pet peeves?

People who are fake. Say one thing and do another.

7.  Do you have any special habits you do when you write?

No. Not really.

8. Did you ever write your friends or family members in your books?

Yes

9. What is your favorite drink?

Iced tea.

10. Who gives you the best encouragement to write?

My husband. He would like to see me make enough money off my writing so that he can quit his job.

11. Do you have a critique group or special author group?

Yes. I've been involve with two online groups for years, and without their help and encouragement I wouldn't be a published author.

Katie has asked me instead of listing 11 random things about me to list 11 favorite books. Well there is the Harry Potter series that's 7 books and then there is the Twilight series which is 4 books. Wow that was quick and easy. I also like books from Nora Roberts, Heather Graham, James Patterson, R. L. Stine. P. C. Cast, Alyson Noel, Laurie Faria Stolarz, Rachel Caine, L. J. Smith and many others.

Now I would like to pass this award on to two of my writer friends.
