Looks like I’ve been awarded the ONE LOVELY BLOG AWARD by my friend, critique partner, and fellow blogger Keila Dawson.
Keila is a debut picture book author who’s first book THE KING CAKE BABY comes out this month.
This is a spin on the traditional gingerbread man, the King Cake Baby runs away in New Orleans during Mardi Gras to avoid being baked in the yummy confection.
Keila even gives the reader a copy of her own recipe for King Cake at the end of the book.

The first part to accepting this award is that I must reveal
Seven Things You May Not Know About Me
1. All of my opera knowledge comes from Warner Brothers cartoons.
2. I grew up wanting to be Bewitched, not Elizabeth Montogmery but Samantha Stevens herself.
3. I randomly quote The Princess Bride, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Back to the Future (the complete franchise).
4. My first crush was Donny Osmond, no wait Davy Jones, no wait David Cassidy… hey they all have names that start with D.
5. Then I grew up and Rod Stewart stole my heart.
6. My husband and I have an agreement, if I ever meet Rod Stewart… well, you know.
7. I fib a little. At least one of these thing may not be completely true. 🙂
