As a writer, peer awards are prized. An award by others in your field is a stamp of approval that you are doing all the technical things correctly (a big relief, and also hard to self-judge).

However, a reader’s choice award is the most humbling, encouraging, and rewarding. Writers and authors write for you the reader (and for ourselves) and sometimes it is very hard for us to know if we are succeeding. A reader’s choice award is that approval.

I would like to thank Ms. Walsh and Ms. Burdette for helping to make our web site a better web site. I would also like to extend to both of the authors an open invitation to contribute to our web site in the future.

Thank you ladies you have both been greatly appreciated by us all.

And now the winner of the 2012 Reader’s Choice Award goes to:

Ms. J.G. Burdette

Congratulations J.G.

Please join me in commending Ms. Burdette and Ms. Walsh.

I want to thank J.G. Burdette ( www.jgburdette.wordpress.com ) for nominating me for this award. I am humbled and thankful . I began writing with the purpose to entertain and to hopefully help other people.

Seven random things about me … mmmm.

1) Sometimes at the end of a hard week I like to relax with a little bourbon, alot of water and ice in a tall glass while listening to Mozart with my eyes closed in my favorite chair.

2) I spent almost nine years on submarines in the United States Navy.

3) I am willing to try almost anything that catches my interest.

4) I am also an award winning chess player, artist, and carver (a few other things too, but those are the ones I enjoy the most).

5) I won my first writing contest when I was just a school boy.

6) I like fishing and sometimes even  use bait; though most of the time I don’t want to be bother with reeling them in (I can’t prove it, but I think the fish appreciate this too).

7) I like people, all kinds of people. If I ever disappear on you I am probably off somewhere listening to a strangers story. Everyone has them, and they are all so unique and interesting.

Once again I would like to say Thank you for this award.

Thank You !!!
