Blog Awards

Stina, over at http://www.stinalindenblatt.com/, recently unloaded her hoard of blog awards and passed them along to a number of different blogs, mine included. There's a ton, lol, but I picked the one I thought was cutest. The Versatile Blog Award! For this one I have to list 7 things about myself. Here goes:

1. I love dogs, the bigger the better.
2. My dream (aside from being a YA author) is to open a Bed and Breakfast with my husband.
3. My favorite colors are red and purple
4. My favorite candy is Good & Plenty
5. Charlie, the MC in my novel GREYSKIN, is a lot like me when I was sixteen.
6. I like to eat the white part of the watermelon rind.
7. I love to ride horses.

And there you have it. Seven totally random facts about me! Passing this award on to:

Valerie at http://valeriekwrites.blogspot.com/ because she's an awesome crit partner, talented writer (of books and films) and because her blog is super fun and helpful.

Kristi and Christi at http://funkyfruitreviews.blogspot.com/ Kristi, because she is an awesome crit partner and talented writer, and because she and Christi have a unique book review blog!

Angela at http://thebookshelfmuse.blogspot.com/ because who doesn't love the emotion, setting, and color thesaurus? And zombies.

Liz at http://cleverlyinked.com/ because I love her book reviews and because the blog award sort of matches her blog.
