Very Inspiring Blogger Award

This is such a wonderful honor given to me by the Amazing Author Sara Humphreys.To say that I was humbled and awed to be acknowledged by such a fantastic writer is putting it mildly.

For those of you who have not met Ms Humphreys or *gasp* haven't read any of her books, she is the author of the Amoveo Legends Series.. A Great Shifter series that captured my attention from the very first word. Currently she has three books and a novella (which is free download AMAZON) her fourth book Undone is due out in May.. yet another book that can not come soon enough! And Unclaimed book 5 due in December..  If you want to learn more about this series my reviews have been posted on Tea and Book as well as see some great trailers..

Sara is also very active online, she is regularly posting on FB and I always have fun reading about her adventures. Her life sure is glamorous *grins* I am sure she will love that.. Sara is one of those authors that makes her readers feel like friends.. I just wish she would let me have some power over her release dates.. yeah, probably not.. I don't figure she is into being chained to a desk and never leaving just so I can have my next story.. Now if I was a handsome... *Grins wickedly*

But I’m Telling You Anyway

1.  I have four amazing children.. ages 24, 22 (will be 23 on the 7th), 21 and 18
2. I was born and raised in Whittier CA and moved to Chicago with a suitcase, a box and a bike when I was 22
3. My last child has graduated and I am planning to move to WY very soon
4. My oldest son is a natural musician.. who writes and records wonderful songs..
5. I was such a HUGE LotR fan when I was a kid, I would take the books with me on GS campouts and read excerpts to my friends.. don't believe me? Well you could always ask them.
6. My other favorite book of all time is Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth, which I firmly believe should be mandatory reading for all children at age 10, in HS and for their parents.
7. I was homeless for 89 days the winter of '99/00 and it was the scariest thing in my life. To drag my kids from church to church so they would have a place to sleep. Thank GOD for the DuPage County P.A.D.S program
