Amanda Curzon, An A.B.C award, Children's literature, Gerard Butler, Glencoe, Mungai and the Goa Constrictor, Rhett Butler, Tilos
‘I don’t know if you accept awards,’ the lovely Amelia Curzon asked the other week. Right in the middle of that naughty blog hop.
Like Jack Niicolson doesn’t accept Oscars, I don’t. Let me tell you first of all about Amelia Curzon. She’s firstly a wonderful children’s author. Yep. I am really proud that a children’s author follows me. But she not only wrote this….
Mungai and the Goa Constrictor, set in a rainforest of an unnamed Continent and told through the eyes of animals, Amelia is an amazing spokesperson for all these creatures we share the planet with.
SORRY. Amelia would know I’d pull something like that ….if only… and if you think that’s bad you should see Incy Black’s zoo.
Seriously,visit Amelia’s blog, if you don’t believe the work she does for all the endangered species.
Wonderful animals who can’t speak for themselves.
Cute huh? You can see more here at her official blog site.
http://t.co/G9CmQkNot9 as well as her book on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Mungai-Goa-Constrictor-ebook/dp/B005H2EHAA/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1319975582&sr=1-1
I’m honoured she thought of me for this award. Even reading the rules, I’m honoured–unlike certain of my heroes when it comes to rules The first two rules are simple. Display the logo and link back to the person who gave you the award and nominate some other blogs. Now we come Rule 3. To quote my hero, Flint at this stage. ‘You mean there’s more?’
YEP Flint, there is… like even you didn’t imagine. Rule 3 –work through the alphabet writing one word or phrase about yourself or things you like or associate with yourself that begins A…B….C…. All 26 of them. So here goes. (No. Not going to moan like Flint here)
Awful Bad
Easygoing –not (Oops skipped )
Fanciful. (My god, keeping this clean and not just naming 26 sumexy guys here is a killer…like G is For….)
Instead of Gerard Butler
Hell…..
if I named Rhett Butler there with Gerard that wouldah taken care of R too, don’t you think? .
So where are we now? Oh definitely
J..Oh come on. I can’t take not showing one sumexy guy.
This being good stuff is killing so here’s the one guy Tuan Ho says he’d turn gay for. Josh Holloway.
Kilts…… (Easy-peasy.) (Gerard in a kilt)
(Did I say something about behaving ? )
Love –hell romance writer amn’t I? Also she’s getting so jealous
of
Lazuli AND Lady F.
Mountains Music Mr Shey The hell with one.
Some rules are made to be broken.
(Ok, so I reckon that takes care of N O and P. Hell Q and R too and brings us to
All right…all right… I will be good. (One day)
Tilos

There done it. So now, we come to the nominees. These bloggers whose content is awesome. I know many bloggers here and ALL their blogs are fabulous, but I am trying to choose those whose content is either different, or who make the usual seem that way. And yes there are some regulars but that is why. But there’s some new ones. Please check them out. Here goes.

Thanks, Shehanne! All 26 eh? I’d better start thinking – mind you, I could always translate into German…
shehannemoore said:
Well, I am sure you could bend the rules a bit. Or translate it as you say.. Why not?
Ranting Crow said:
German now that i got to see. and no need for translation. 😉 can read a little German.
shehannemoore said:
Well Ranting you and Tonia will get along like a house on fire on your 26.
Antonia van Zandt said:
Sehr gut, Herr Ranting!
shehannemoore said:
Ja. Und ein glückliches neues Jahr für uns alle..Impressive eh!!
Ranting Crow said:
Fielen Dank fráuleins. And fantastic Milady Moore. got to love the internet right.
shehannemoore said:
You mean you think I got that off Babylon translator…ahem.. ?
Ranting Crow said:
He he oh sorry i forget you ever said what you did about language 😀 claps in my wings caw caw
shehannemoore said:
Caw.. Caw……
Catherine Cavendish said:
Thanks, Shehanne. Love the cute animals by the way!
shehannemoore said:
You are very welcome. I love the ghostly happenings on your blog. Amelia Curzon has some beautiful posts with these pictures. xx (at least I take it you meant these ones…)
Anne Lange said:
Love the cute animals. But 26? Really? Aw, come on. You know how hard it is for writers to find words. At least really good ones. Ones that haven’t been used before, that editors want to see, that pack a punch. How about if I just sing the alphabet? Do I have to keep it clean? *sigh* oh, all right . Like Antonia I have to think about this one. Maybe I can use French? Un moment, s’il vous plait. J’ai besoin de penser. 🙂
shehannemoore said:
Don’t…just don’t re what copy eds want to see anyway. I mean how many alternative words can you come up with sometimes. Hell and let’s be clear I can usually get a few.. No don’t keep it clean. I nearly did 26 sumexy guys. Come on Anne. we are looking at the writer of the 12 Days Naughty Christmas here… !!
Anne Lange said:
Ooh, now I have some leeway. This is good. I don’t have to keep it clean. Let me put my (nice clean but erotic) mind to work. 🙂
shehannemoore said:
Anne..nice , clean and erotic do not go together…..this is conflict hon.
Ranting Crow said:
It could be clean, but it is just that we like it dirt 😛 Oooh I look forward on reading this LOL
shehannemoore said:
oh Anne’s will be….erotic all right!
Ranting Crow said:
Well thank you very much! ha ha all 26 so much fun, already written and ready 😀 and yes I always bend the rules.
And this time is no different. ha ha
I do love these cute animals. It is a shame so many are on the brink of extinction..
shehannemoore said:
Yes it is. Amelia does wonderful posts trying to highlight these animals and what is gobsmacking is there’s just so many. On a lighter note just you bend the rules..After all that’s the lady F tagline.
Ranting Crow said:
You will love the idea as a writer 😀 A-Z need to find me 2 words but it is done.
Ranting Crow said:
Here is one entry of mine.
All Beauties Care Dearly Entwining Fierce Guys Holding Idiotic Jolly Koala Like Monstrous New Ogres Pestering Quick Sassy Trolls Unwrapping Vixens Wearing X-rated Yarn (made from) Zombies
Ranting Crow said:
Rampaging sorry forgot one
Catherine Cavendish said:
Bummer! Wish I’d thought of that first. I’ve been struggling with X for ages. Not to mention Q…oh, and then there’s Y (as in Y oh Y do I let myself in for these things?! Oh, hang on, that might just work…)
Ranting Crow said:
Quirky I became some kind of muse ever since i cam here. xylophone. xanex ypsilon
shehannemoore said:
Mean huh? That is why I cheated!!
Ranting Crow said:
Well I do not cheat. I just bend the rules as you can see.
And I have so much more 😀 Q’s and Y’s and even an X or 2
shehannemoore said:
Oh YOU are just perfect Mr Crow!!! Stop making us jealous xx

Hi everyone! Happy New Year! Shey, thanks so much for the award. But its a real toughie, eh? However, I have done my duty, and I passed it on to some authors who I think will have a bit of fun with it. Thanks and cheers to everyone. 🙂 Here’s the link if anyone’s interested, (although I’m sure you have better things to do). 😉 http://www.noelleclark.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/the-abc-award.html

It’s a toughie all right. Happy New Year. A few glasses of wine and you will soon do it !
Aubrey Wynne said:
What a great post and Happy New Year to me. Gerard Butler, Clark Gable, and Antonio Banderas. Oh, be still my beating my heart. Thanks for starting my New Year out with these fine men. And bravo to Amelia Curzon. I will have to visit her site and support her. I am a humane investigator in my state. Animals need all the help they can get against their 2 legged enemies.
shehannemoore said:
Oh, one must start with a goggle fest Aubrey…Absolutely. So do not let your beating heart be still. Amelia always has lovely pictures and she does so much for animals, her site is well worth that visit.

Mungai and the Goa Constrictor said:
Oh my! Shehanne. I was just visiting your blog and reading through this post and my name and blog came up. You are so kind, my friend, you say such lovely things 🙂 Thank you, thank you , thank you ♥ ♥
shehannemoore said:
Amelia! I was just about to contact you and say that your very latest blog post is coming up page not found despite the email notification. It will be some silly hiccup.
Lol. I’m sure I’m not that. It is an absolute pleasure my friend to highlight your book and your gorgeous blog. I mean that. I hope to get you to spare some time and come by properly soon too. I would love to host you.
Mungai and the Goa Constrictor said:
Is it on my blog Curzon or Mungai?
Thank you, Shehanne. That would be fun and my pleasure. I hadn’t forgotten. I suppose we should set a date – that usually goads me into some sort of action LOL. 🙂
shehannemoore said:
Mungai..it is the bison one. I have the email but a link may be broken there. I will set a date. I will Dm you. I have got a ton of stuff planned this week for the new book but after 17th it would be no problem at all.
