AWESOME BLOG CONTENT AWARD
My good friend and fellow gothic romance author, Lindsay J Pryor has nominated me for the Awesome Blog Content Award - which should be fun! So what does it entail? Here are the rules: post the logo (done), link back to he/she who nominated (yep), provide an A-Z guide to your soul (mmm… interesting) and then nominate forward (when you've finished).
I was told not to think too hard!
Well, here goes -
I was told not to think too hard!
Well, here goes -
A is for Aussie writers, like me!
B is for books, the lifeblood of an author, and my passion.
C - is for Christian. My faith in Jesus, as my Lord and Saviour, is what sustains me.
D is for deadlines, or as Douglas Addams (author of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) famously said, "I love deadlines. I love the whooshing sound they make as they fly past!"
E - is for enthusiastic about my Dantonville Legacy series.
F is for Fatima - my full name, although I never use it. (Never liked it, because Australians are notorious for shortening names. Anyone can guess what mine was. I blame my parents!)
G is for green, the colour of my eyes.
H is for History. I'm an Ancient Historian/Archaeologist and my speciality is Late Imperial Roman Britain.
I is for Italy, my favourite holiday destination. I've taken classes there to visit ancient sites like Pompeii and Herculaneum.
J is for joy. I've been blessed with a joyful spirit and usually see the rainbow at the end of every dark cloud.
K is for klutz! I'm the clumsiest person I know.
L is for laughter. I love to laugh!
M is for my mum. She's been my greatest fan and supporter in whatever I've chosen to do.
N is for nuts - as in the edible variety! I love snacking on raw cashews, macadamias and pecans while writing.
O is for organised. I tend to plan every aspect of my writing, from plot lines and structure, to entire character genealogies and even languages.
P is for patience - not! I hate waiting for the books in any favourite series of mine, to be released. I want them all, NOW!
Q is for queasy. I've always suffered from motion sickness, and flying anywhere without my Travel Calm tablets becomes the trip from hell! I even avoid travelling on ferries.
R is for restless. I can't sit still for five minutes without fidgeting. A lot of the time, I work at my laptop standing up.
S - is for seafood. One of my favourite meals is spaghetti marinara.
T is for tea, of course! I love my Twinings Earl Grey, closely followed by Australian Afternoon tea. We are one of the few countries in the world for whom Twinings created a special blend. Aussies are special!
U is for unmarried. Currently I'm single, independent and enjoying it. (I have eight gorgeous nieces who visit often.)
V is for vivacious. It's always been part of my character.
W is for workaholic. I tend to stay on a task until it's done, even if it means staying up very late.
X - is for the xtraordinary friends I've made since joining the writer community.
Y is for yarn. I love knitting and other handicrafts, like cross-stitch and rug making. My living room wall is covered in framed cross-stitch pictures I've made.
Z is for zodiac. As the above characteristics show, I'm a typical capricorn. But then, who believes that nonsense anyway!
That's it! Now I nominate -

Have fun, ladies
