BLOG AWARD .... TIME TO PASS ONE ON!

Happy Thursday friends. Today I am finally going to pass one of two wonderful awards that were given to me during the A-Z challenge.

The first is from a dear friend and amazing BLOGGER N. R. Williams. She has an epic fantasy novel currently out ... The Treasures of Carmelidrium. If you haven't read it you should.

Her second publication is a charming story, The Magic of Windier Woods. Both can be purchased at Amazon.



Nancy was kind enough to award me the Tiger's Delight Blogger Award created by her talented daughter. She has a business to help us author's design covers, book trailers, and format for Kindle and Smashboards. So check out Tiger on my Bookshelf.


Now to pass this award you must link back to Tiger 85 @ Tiger on my Bookshelf. Tell your favorite things about blogging. And pass the award onto three friends. This isn't too difficult, right?

What I love about blogging is the countless incredibly talented people I have met. Words cannot describe how I feel about the people in this community. Writers have the biggest hearts I have ever seen. They will help you with a blink of an eye. They will stand by you thick and thin, and build you up when the outside world is cruel and unfeeling.

I would like to pass this award to three friends I have become so fond of in past few months.

Siv Maria @Been there, done that. She is an incredibly funny and imaginative blogger who is like my long lost Norwegian sister. Her posts on Norwegian folklore are captivating. So if you don't know Siv hop over to her blog.

ali cross @ Ali Cross. ali is know as the NINJA...  she has created a whole world to help bloggers continue to grow as writers. She offers different Ninja programs to help aspiring writers complete their WIP'S. She also has a weekly chat on Thursday's, which is today, so hop on over and join in on the Ninja love.

Holly Ruggiero @ Scribbles & Splashes.  I got to know Holly well during the A-Z challenge. Although I've known her for months, her posts during the challenge really were amazing. Her talent and wit are unsurpassed. Every time I see her bear icon I have to smile because I know it's her.

So please don't forget to drop by these amazing ladies blogs if you haven't already.

EARTHLY ANGELS POST returns tomorrow .... YAY! I have missed this feature and I am thrilled to be able to post it again. Many of my new friends aren't familiar with this weekly feature so I hope you enjoy it.

Have a beautiful Thursday everyone.
