The Liebster Award. You can thank Tom Stronach.

Yesterday, Tom Stronach, who I have never met in person, and certainly never bribed, at least not with money, nominated me for the Liebster award. It’s sort of a blogging award.

However, if you head over to his site, it’s also a randy snowman award. If I could return the favor, I would, because Tom would win the award for making me spit out beverages, both hot and cold, with regularity. And he doesn’t care… He derives infinite pleasure from my choking. Sadist!

I’m supposed to give out five awards… mention five other bloggers that I consider unique.

So many people I know are worth your time. So many… I can’t even begin to choose just five. What I’ve decided to do is send you in the direction of five bloggers I’ve recently discovered.

Simply Kayla’s Book Reviews. Kayla is a college student with enough enthusiasm to power the galaxy. She may be the most joyful young woman I’ve met online and her book reviews just keep getting better and better.

Stephanie Berget. This is a woman who knows how to ride a horse. That makes her A-Okay in my book. She’s a stickler for authentic detail. Listen up you wanna-be cowgirls. She has lots of advice for would-be writers of Western Romance.

Diana Stevan Writer. Diana provides readers with a little of everything. She’s truly a renaissance woman. You can read book reviews, movie reviews, touching videos… Her site is beautiful and filled with wisdom.

Epub World, Writing and Marketing in the Indie Book Publishing World. Curtis Hox and Rose Andrade don’t post often, but when they do, look out. Commonsense prevails.

Stant Litore and his Zombie Bible Blogspot. This author takes individual books of the bible, which obviously is already a morality play, and restructures them as zombie tales. He asks - how would biblical figures deal with a zombie apocalypse? The truth is, the man writes poetry. Really interesting stuff.

Okay. All done. Have fun exploring.

Oh, the rules for you award winners if you choose to accept this challenge (no pressure) -

1. Thank the person who nominated you and link back to them.

2. Nominate up to five other blogs for the award and let your nominees know.
