The Pat on the Back Award from Celia Yeary

Over the past year, I've had the privilege to get to know Texas author, Celia Yeary. Celia's been an inspiration to me in how she writes, promotes, and sells books. She's so down to earth and approachable. Just recently, I got a "Pat on the Back Award from her and I thought I'd passed that on myself. If anyone wants to check out Celia's blog you can find it:

Our blogs are our "brand" as much as our books. So, there's a lovely little award going around that encourages readers to at least take a peek at our blogs. The award doesn't come with a banner or a sticker—it's an honorary thing.

First, I'll tell seven things about myself. Then, I'll list seven blogs I believe are worthy of a visit from you—any of you. My seven blogs consist of several I read on a regular basis, and the others are new blogs I have recently discovered. Next, I'll contact each of my seven authors and tell them their blog is on my list. Hopefully, each will do the same thing.
