Mystery Blogger Award Nominee
I Am Honored!
I am humbled and honored to have been nominated for a Mystery Blogger Award! My blog was nominated by Michael Long at www.themilitarytraveler.com. It is incredibly motivating to have my blog recognized by a fellow blogger! Since I got into this six months ago, I have discovered a network of wonderfully supportive people who are all more than willing to help their fellow bloggers succeed.

Michael is a retired veteran who has traveled extensively. He shares his travel experience to help his readers enjoy amazing trips while sticking to a budget. Personally, I look forward to his posts as I enjoy the amazing photography he uses.
What is the Mystery Blogger Award?
The Mystery Blogger Award was created by Okoto Enigma. Check out more information about it here.

Three Things About Me
- I recently published a novel called The House on Maple Street.
- I am a passionate cook. I will try making just about anything. I collect cookbooks when I travel. My Pinterest account has over 60 boards, most of them devoted to new recipes. I love really good food!
- I also enjoy photography, landscape photography. I have never been good at “people pictures”. I’m more likely to comment, ‘what is that person doing in my picture of the mountain?!’.
Michael’s Questions to Me
Who and/or What Motivates You to Write Your Blog?
As an author, my blog is primarily my way of showcasing my writing, promoting my book (soon to be plural) and sharing my photography.
When Do You Do Most of Your Writing and Why?
I do most of my writing in the evening or on the weekends. If an idea strikes me, I’ll write early in the morning, before I head to work. It depends on what I’m working on and when the muse decides to start speaking.
How do you describe your blogging when you discuss it with family and friends?
Since my blog is how I promote my writing, I describe it as an author’s platform and somewhere they can visit to read stories I’ve written and keep up on whatever work I’m promoting, get release dates of my upcoming books, etc.
If you were an animal, what animal would you be? (My funny/weird question)
I would probably be a cat. I’m a total cat person and the idea of getting to nap all day in the sun sounds pretty appealing.
What is your favorite topic to write about and why?
I bet you think I’m going to say something about story I’ve written or something. Actually, I went a little “off topic” recently with a travel post and I had a blast putting it together. I will definitely be highlighting more of my travels in the future.
My Top Three Posts
