As I blogged yesterday, the nomination process is underway. This happens once a year and it’s a wonderful opportunity to say thank you to those who have given us hours of enjoyment.
If you are looking at this page, I would like to mention a couple people you may not recognize from their names, but if you’ve read my stories, or others, you have enjoyed their work!
I have two amazingly talented women who work over the raw materials I send them and polish it to a fine lustre.
Ms. Buffy and Breathesgirl are called ‘beta readers’ but it doesn’t do justice to the gifts they give. I hope you will consider them as you look over the nomination forms.
Artwork is its own unique gift. It can frame how you see the characters you read.
I have had the privilege of receiving the talents of several artists this past year.
 Sephrenia brought her joy and sense of whimsy to many of my stories. Her use of character, position and accent tells a story all of its own. I consider myself fortunate to count myself among those she has graced.
American Android created the banners and theme for the Swimming Series.
Gyllene graced my page with a signature banner that speaks to me each time I see it. I am not her only recipient.

I apologize for the day’s delay in posting. I have been maintaining a Thursday/Sunday schedule, but some business travel and a heavier meeting schedule threw me off. The story will be taking a short break starting next week as I will be on vacation. For those of you who follow my occasional treks into other places, the trip this spring is Ireland. I’m hiking the Dingle Peninsula, embracing that wonderful custom of going out to see what things there are to find. The weather promises to be chilly and wet, so every moment of sunshine will be a treasured bonus. I am sure I will post pictures and stories I collect from the road.
