SHOW ME THE VOICE PART TWO... NEW FOLLOWERS/FRIENDS.

Thank you all for the great advice I received yesterday. DON'T FORGET to send off you improved first page to Brenda Drake @brenleedrake@gmail.com before midnight tonight! From what I've read yesterday the competition is stiff, so make sure you really put a spit shine on that first page.


If you are not aware, tomorrow is the big reveal of the quarter finalists in the ABNA contest. There are many of us who have made it through the pitch round and may be on the chopping block tomorrow. Please, please, please, send out good vibes and wishes to me and our other blogging friends who are in the competition.


If you look to the left in my sidebar there are many fun blogfests and contests you don't want to miss. Mine included. lol. Click onto the badges and you will be "whisked" away to another world.


Crusaders, don't forget you need to post your entry on Rach's blog by Friday. It's a really fun challenge this week and I should have my entry up by Wednesday. 


This has been a very exciting spring so make the most of it!


And now it is time to welcome my seven new friends to my blogging family. I can't wait to get to know each and every one of you.


gbaugniet, Ian, Milo, Knightesshope, Cheree, Lori, and Brooke, Thanks so much for visiting. I hope to see you often.


I also have special thanks to Deirdra for my lovely Fantastic Fantasy award, Talei and Chris for my 6th and 7th Stylish Blogger awards, and to Donna for the the Friends for the journey award. Sometime during this week I will do a formal post, but I just wanted to let you all know how honored and thrilled I am to receive these awards.


HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE. May you day be filled with SUNSHINE!

Michael - you and I know pretty well how subjective this round of ABNA can be and that a lot of good books won't go through. I can say with absolute certainty, however, that I hope you don't win. Unless, of course, I don't win. Then, by all means, you can. :)

2nd Crusader challenge?? Gah, Christy left me with too much to do this week!!!

Best of luck to you all around!! For ABNA AND for Brenda's Show me the Voice contest. You definitely get a sense of Danny's voice. And I love that Aidan doesn't have those typical sunglasses. He's an interesting character straight off ~ Great stuff!

Not much sleep for Michael tonight. All the best my friend. May you be one of the chosen...Glad i'm not in competition this time!

Congrats on your awards. Well deserved.

Thanks for coming by and reading my entry for Brenda's 'fest. I got the idea after reading yours seeing i had a couple of dusty mss lying around, lol, waiting to be edited. Got a bit of help for the first bit anyhow!

I hasten to say I wrote this WIP three years ago. He's not tall (?), dark and handsome like you but his name if Michael, lol.

Denise Covey said...
