I’m honored to have been nominated by James R. Callan for
the Very Inspiring Blogger Award.
The purpose of the award is both simple and important. It’s
designed to introduce authors to readers and to other writers who are producing
some of the most interesting blogs on the Web today. I invite you to check out
Jim’s books and read his always interesting blog: http://www.jamesrcallan.com/blog/
Part of my requirement as a nominee for this blogger award
is to give you seven facts about me that many people do not know. So, here
goes:
- Living in a house believed to have been built by a man who rode with Buffalo Bill inspires my interest in writing Western stories.
- I like to be surprised by my characters, which is why I seldom outline at length when writing my stories.
- At heart I’m an Indiana Jones who would rather be digging artifacts of lost civilizations, dinosaur bones or other fossils than be wealthy. Of course, I wouldn’t turn up my nose at money if it were offered.
- Once
in
- I’m a definite fan of casual attire. Save for a few rare occasions, I haven’t worn a tie (the most useless piece of apparel ever forced on man) since retiring. I prefer jeans, sweatshirts and sneakers.
- I started out wanting to be an artist. I discovered a talent for drawing early on and it’s still something I enjoy.
- You wouldn’t guess it to look at me. I’m skinny as the proverbial rake. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like to eat. I’ll sample virtually anything offered, though my favorites incline toward Italian and Asian (particularly those with a bit of spice to them).
Of course, blogging is not my real vocation. I write books,
short stories and articles. The majority of my books fall into the category of
crime fiction—mysteries, suspense and thrillers. I also write historical
fiction, occasionally dabble in other genres and non-fiction.
