Sheila's Guests and Reviews

I was going to write some more book reviews, or maybe a post about Mum having to get out of her wheelchair and stand with her hands in the air at the airport--"Just step forwards with one foot please and don't touch anything..." Perhaps I could write about oceans of washing, or autumn's leaves whispering in the breeze--don't they know it's nearly spring? Or I could apologize for the 99 Facebook messages still not replied to, or 70 on gather... or perhaps... I could run round the room in delight at Flower Child's coming 5th in Preditors and Editors sci-fi/fantasy shorts, but that wouldn't help me write anything on my blog. Or I could just thank Brenda Youngerman for sharing a versatile blogger award with me (she interviewed me recently on her Tuesday spotlight). The rules for accepting a versatile blogger award appear to be: nominate 5-15 fellow bloggers post the award picture thank the blogger with a link (see above) share 7 random fact...

I was heading over to http://critters.org/predpoll/shortstorysf.shtml to vote for a story I'd read and I saw my own name! Really! Flower Child's been nominated under Science Fiction & Fantasy Short Story published in 2011... Runs round the room in amazement--one of my stories, nominated!!! Runs round the room again!!! Runs out of exclamation points... Anyway, if you liked Flower Child, please vote for me--just follow the link, click the button by Flower Child, add your name and email and copy the magic code (for verification) lower down the page, then click on the link in your email when you receive it. I think I'll just go run round the room again...
