...and I'm not clear about what I'm supposed to do. Maybe someone reading this can help me figure it out if I include here the entry from my tagger's blog.

Cathi Hassan tagged me. Her entry re tagging in her blog can be found below. In the meantime, I am supposed to write 6 things abut myself.

1. I am an author of the YA fantasy "Seabird". My books--my several waiting-to-be-published manuscripts that is--take place largely on Narenta and for the most part have a subtle Christian worldview as underpinning. (Hopefully subtle. I don't believe in sermonizing in fiction.

2. I was born in Baltimore MD, I live near Wilmington DE but I consider my "home" Ocean City NJ--where I have never lived, just visited.

3. Mimicking one of Cathi's entries, I love a wide variety of international cuisines, amongst them Italian, Mexican, Greek, Chinese and Japanese. And, yes, that includes sushi. I am fortunate in that I love many healthy foods such as whole grains and broccolli--which may partially offset the fact that I'm a sucker for all things chocolate, cinnamony nad creamy like ice cream.

4.  The furthest west I've been in the U.s. was Lake Superior, where the family went to visit my uncle. The farthest north was some place in Quebec, Canada. The farthest south was probably Myrtle Beach SC though it may have been farther than that. And the farthest east I've been was getting swept uncomfortably far into the ocean, thanks to some undertow.

Oddly enough, I've always wanted to travel!

5.  I love most forms of music but prefer folk (and filk). I have no sense of rhythm in that I cannot clap in sync with the rhythm of a piece of music; however, I -move- to music when it has rhythm with great abandon especially, I guess, for an almost 62 year old.

6. I am goofy over colors! God did some of his best work when he created color. You know the extract from the poe that only God can make a tree? Well, that's because only God can make a really -good- green! I have yet to see any human-created paint, pigments, software etc that can successfully reproduce the greens of nature.

And green isn't even my favorite color! Let's hear it for PURPLE!

(I will try to fulfill the rest of my obligation as "tagee" as soon as I understand what it is.)

I've Been Tagged!

 
Photobucket

I’ve been tagged by Melissa (forst_rose) at Bibliophile's Retreat

Here are the rules for those I'm tagging. Check the list after my 6 THINGS to see if you're it then.
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag sixish people at the end of your post.
5. Let each person know he or she has been tagged.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

Now for Six Random things about me:

1. I love to read (surprised?)

2. My two favorite places (so far, anyway) are Niagara Falls and the Smoky Mountains. When I go to either place, I am filled with awe at God's handiwork.

3. I love Mediterranean food, especially tabouleh (the healthiest salad ever), felafel, and maglubeh (ask someone from Jordan or Lebanon if you never heard of it).

4. Although I went on disability five years ago, I still miss the students I had. Even though they were squirrelly middle school kids!

5. Music is my passion, in particular God-honoring music. My favorite artists/songwriters are Keith Green, Rich Mullins, Michael Card, Casting Crowns, Twila Paris, Wayne Watson. Love lots of others, too, but these have affected me the most.

6. With this blog, my main hope is to connect readers with some quality books that are not well known, to introduce others to some of the treasures I have discovered, and to offer some support and encouragement to worthy authors.

Now You're It:

Okay, so I am tagging the following: Sue Dent, who's blogging at The Writers' Café Press Authors, Rae Byuel at Caffeine and Romance, Laura Davis, Caprice Hokstad at Queen of Convolution, Stormy Johnson, and Sherry Thompson.

Re: Hi my friend...nice words...
Hi, Mark!

So you're from the Philippines? Never would have guessed.

NaNo was named -National- Novel Writing Month when it was centered in California, and long before it became international. Now people from all over are doing it.

I doubt they will change the name. "NaNo" sounds pretty good compared to "IntNo". I just tell prospective authors, "You live in a nation, right? Well, National Novel Writing Month doesn't specify
-which- nation." ;-)

I wish you well, and hope that you will keep us informed on how you are doing.

Sorry, Sherry, I guess I should have explained better. Besides listing six random facts about yourself, you are supposed to copy the directions (which you did by copying my blog here.) At the end of the blog, Name six victims--er--friends that you are going to tag. Link to them (#s 4 and 5 in directions) Of course, that means you have to notify the six people of the honor that you have bestowed upon them. That's why I sent you an email. If I had any sense, I would have sent one email to all six of my people, but instead I made extra work for myself with individual notifications. When you write those people, ask them to see your blog to get directions on what to do. I do hope I was clearer this time??

I am going to have to Google "filk." I almost asked you what it is before, but I am embarrassed not to have a clue.

Yes! Purple power! My favorite also, although I agree with you about a good green. Most amazing to me is the variety of greens in the spring when the rebirth of all things green occurs. Gorgeous.

Hopefully it's a "tag and release"
Have you ever watched "Shark Week" on the Discovery channel? One of the episodes this year showed them catching sharks, rolling them over on their backs and tagging them.

Now this all sounds dandy; like we're just going to tool out somewhere in our boat, catch us a shark and roll him over. Right.

Apparently, sharks get all narcoleptic when they are made to "lie" on their backs. I'm going to remember this next time I'm in the Gulf and one comes up to eat me. I'm just going to roll that sucker over and he'll go right to sleep. Then I'll sneak away singing a little shark lullaby.

Right.
