I’ve been selected for The Beautiful Blogger Award by Sabrina Garie who writes fantasy, science fiction, paranormal and romance fiction. Here are the rules for the award, which I will try to follow:
Rule One. Share seven things about me.
1) I live and write in Portland, Oregon. The fact that I live here greatly influences my writing.
2) I love my family.
3) I support other artists’ work. Always have. I buy art, I buy books. I #AmazonLike work that comes up on Twitter, even if I haven’t read it, haven’t bought it. I write reviews for books that I read, if I like them. I contribute to crowdsourcing campaigns of my friends.
4) I belong to two playwrights groups that read and comment on members’ work.
5) I garden.
6) I’m currently writing another mystery in the Shirley Combs/Dr. Watson series, revising a play, and starting a new, much darker, mystery/suspense novel.
7) I identify as lesbian, and today I learned of another lesbian friend’s death. This makes me sad, she was a pillar of the lesbian feminist community.
The next rule is to pass the award to seven bloggers. The award is passed to:
