I am much honored to be nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award by Gwen Bristol. Gwen’s blog Minisculegiants link is a very interesting place to visit put your feet up and relax. She has a way of making you feel like one of the family. She offers advice and interesting information that cause the serious writer to stop and think. I really appreciate her knowledge, research, but most of all the heart she puts into each post. Thank you Gwen.
Versatile Blogger Rules (If you choose to obey them)

So in following the rules because I choose to, let me nominate fifteen deserving authors.

Now for the seven interesting (you are the judge) things about me:
- I have had three careers in my work life (call it re-invention )
- I am a full-time author (needing publish) which is my fourth occupation
- I live in a beachfront community on the Gulf of Mexico
- My hobby is restoring a 1978 Toyota FJ 40 Land Cruiser
- I like to cook and try new recipes (fodder for the recycle bin)
- My wife is a saint
- My children are grown and happy
Have a nice weekend
Thanks for nominating me, John! Living on the beach sounds pretty great, but I’m only about an hour away from the Oregon coast, so what am I complaining about?
You deserve the nomination and yes one hour away is cause not to complain. Unless you live for the sea. (like me) – John
Congrats!
Thank you. I had a chance to visit your place today and found it very interesting. – John
Congratulations! And thank you for the nomination. I am honored & I am in some great company. It’s appreciated.
Thank you as well. = John
Congratulations on your award and thanks for my nomination, I also love your answers, especially your wife being a saint! I love men who adore their wives!!
I do adore her. Thanks for the comment and congrats to you as well. I really enjoy your posts. – John
Congratulations on winning this award. I know you deserve this.
How’s it like living in the gulf? I live in a tropical country, but I am from the city so I still missed living near the beach.
We love the sights and sounds of the waves, gulls and enjoy the terrific weather. The tourists can be challenging during the summer months, but all in all a great place to live. Thanks for the visit and congratulations on the award as well. – John
Thanks for nominating me!
I have enjoyed your posts and think others should as well. – John
Hi John,
