One Lovely Blog Award – Presented by Shannon A Thompson

 

Normally I don’t do awards. Not because I think they are not really nice, I have a great deal of trouble trying to select award winners. This week I’m making an exception due to the fact that the person nominating my blog for this award is someone I have watched grow from over the last two years. She published her debut novel in 2007  to a full-fledged  powerhouse in the blogging and writer world. She has a gazillion books (okay seven) currently available and about fifteen-thousand followers. She is Shannon Thompson and you can visit her here. here. Before I list my nominees, I have to tell seven things about myself. Here goes:

1. I have a book published by Martin Sisters Publishing named My GRL (in case you haven’t heard)

2. I live on the Gulf of Mexico

3. I write Thriller Fiction and short stories to relax from thriller fiction novels.

4. I am halfway through the last of the John J. Cannon trilogy (Should be done by November 1)

5. I will be writing a new set of thrillers which will have new characters and a different setting

6.  I plan to start the new set on January 2nd (I put this in here so I won’t slip the date)

7. I write every day and have been doing it since April of 2012

My nominees have been chosen due to the short time they have been following my blog. I hope you will visit them and build them into the kind of powerhouse which has become Shannon A Thompson.

    John, thank you so much for the wonderful nomination. I am quite touched. I will write seven facts about myself and nominate some blogs that I believe are also worthy. I look forward to reading your novel, My Grl. Thank you again. ~Colleen~ from Silver Threading

        Ha Ha! I had to laugh at that. I think we have the most to teach to the younger ones… if they will listen. Thanks again.

    Well done John – it is always nice to be acknowledged isn’t it! I am impressed that you haven’t missed a day writing in over two years – that is quite a feat!

    Thank you for the nomination for my wee blog – I am most pleased you thought of us down here 🙂 I don’t ‘do’ awards, but do accept the compliment and thank you for it. I shall visit your other nominees too 🙂 Pauline
