Liebster blog award!

Seriously, how cool is this!

I must thank the wonderful author Chrystalla Thoma for awarding me the Liebster Blog Award. Unlike me, Chrys isn't a native speaker of English. She hails from the island of Cyprus, and writes amazing novels but she also has a talent in art, creating some of her own book covers.  Check out her books on Amazon and MuseitUp (and check out her website for many more publications!) The Liebster Blog Award originated in Germany. Liebster means dearest or beloved, and Liebe is love.In accepting the Liebster Blog Award, I agreed to:
*Thank the person who gave them the award and link back to that person's blog
*Copy and paste the award to my blog
*Reveal the 5 blogs I've chosen to award in turn and then commenting on their blog to break the news.
I know my awesome friends-authors-bloggers are aware they'll suffer consequence, be bombarded by things like tumbling puppies, Julia Andrews singing on  a mountain, kittens rolling in yarn, instead of brilliant plot twists for their work in progress if they in turn don't pay it forward or accept  and  then pass on this prestigious award to bloggers they'd like to honor. My blog winners are all fellow writers, renowned or on the brink of being so.Barbara ElsborgDL JacksonFred VrabinecKaren Cote

Thanks again to Chrys for including me in this fun blog tour.
