Thank you, Orlando!

Mr. Orlando Ramos has been so kind as to award me the "Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award". This is such an honor since Orlando's blog "O' About That" http://www.oaboutthat.blogspot.com is one of the nicest blogs I've seen!

The requirements for a recipient of this award are almost identical to the "Stylish Blogger Award", so I get to bore you with seven more random facts about me! (Oh, I sense your excitement....) Anyway, here goes: I wear a size 11 shoe (Bigfoot does exist!); When I was seventeen I was in a car accident and died for three minutes; if left-handed people are the only ones in their right minds, I am the exception to that rule; I don't have a spleen; sometimes I jump up and act out scenes as I'm writing them; my house is officially haunted; and when I was little I told my dad that I wanted to be a beautiful dancing nurse when I grew up.

Wow! I've never felt closer to you guys than I do right now! ;-)

Alright...enough bonding for the time being! As I said before, the requirements for this award are ALMOST identical to Stylish Blogger, but instead of passing this awesome award on to just five blogging buds, I get to pass it on to fifteen! Rather than list out fifteen blogs in one post, I would like to go bigger! My plan is to post fifteen separate posts (hopefully one a day) highlighting the fifteen blogs I would like to share this award with! Hopefully you'll forgive me if I miss a day or two next week! My husband and I are sneaking away on vacation. We'll have a laptop, but one never knows how hotel wifi will cooperate, does one?

Anyway, check back often to get the low-down on some screamin' blogs, and thanks again, Orlando!!!

Omg, such interesting things to know about you. :) Btw, is it okay I keep calling you Lor, I just grew so fond of it. And thanks again for the award, I must now proceed to share and rack my brain for a list of 15 blogs! It shouldn't be hard, though. I'll be looking forward to all of those remaining blogs. They will be worth-following, no doubt. :)

Hey Lyn,
Yep, you're not the only person who calls me Lor! (It's getting to be a pretty big group, and I kinda like it!) Are you going to put seven random things about you on your blog? It'd be fun to learn more! :o)

Book #1 Lor Mandela - Destruction from Twins

Through the selfish acts of twin enchantress, the world of Lor Mandela is sentenced to its untimely death. Only one can save it--the appointed Child of Balance, Audril Borloc. All hope seems lost, however, when shortly after her fourth birthday, Audril disappears without a trace. Audril Borloc must be found! When a group of Lor Mandelan spies travel to Earth in search of the little girl with black hair and bright blue eyes--traits that on Lor Mandela are exclusive to the ruling Borloc family--they instead find sixteen-year-old Maggie Baker. While the age difference between the girls is obvious, Maggie has the Borloc traits--evidence enough for the desperate spies. Suddenly, Maggie's mundane existence is transformed into a thrill ride of twists and turns as she begins bouncing back and forth between her hometown of Glenhill, Iowa, and the strange and diverse lands of Lor Mandela. Amid battling a ferocious two-headed beast, being abducted by a lawless clan of Shadow Dwellers, and falling head-over-heels for the son of an evil warlord, Maggie soon discovers that her blase reality could be the REAL fantasy, and that the fate of Lor Mandela may depend entirely on her.

Book # 2, "Lor Mandela - Four Hundred Days", Now AVAILABLE!

When Audril, the heiress to the Lor Mandelan throne, sneaks away to Earth to save one of her dearest friends, she finds that a power hungry tyrant from her own world has begun systematically obliterating towns and cities to get her to turn herself over to him. On Earth, she meets a wildly eccentric old lady named Teedee Venilworth whose imaginary butler/fiancé supposedly holds the key to her success. But how can someone help if he doesn't exist? Could it be that creatures who dwell in shadow are not exclusive to Lor Mandela? Book number two in the Lor Mandela Series, Lor Mandela – Four Hundred Days, is an action-packed whirlwind of intrigue and fantasy. Join the extraordinary characters from the first book, (both the good and the evil), as they traverse the haunted corridors of Alcatraz Penitentiary, travel via portal to an ancient castle on the cliff shores of Ireland, and meet a foreboding race of mystic warriors known as the Solom. Soar on the back of a large horse-like creature to the Northern High Forests and discover that on the picturesque world of Lor Mandela, your friends can become foes, your enemies your allies, and just because someone dies, it doesn’t always mean that they’re dead.
