5 Things Winner Announcement

Congratulations to BLHmistress.  I can see Starline coming your way later today!

5 Things...

So here I am trying to quantify what are the top 5 things I'm grateful for.

Have you ever tried that? My list is almost endless...

• Family & husband 
• The freedom I enjoy 
• My sight (could you imagine not being able to read?) 
• Chocolate and wine... (food of the Gods...) 
• The ability to travel (imagine having to spend your life in one place... urgh!) 

So many of the things we enjoy and take for granted are not available to others, within this world. I keep thinking of the young Pakistani girl, Malala, who was shot by the Taliban because she not only wanted to learn to read, but campaigned for the rights of other girls.

To be honest, it then leaves me thinking about whether I am grateful for the opportunity to

• Vote and stand for office,
• Go to school and learn to read. 
• For a lifestyle that lets me stay at home to write full time (which is why by May 2013 I will have a total of 7 releases... and working on more!) 

We live in such enlightened times, that my daughters will have the chance to choose for themselves who they want to marry (if they marry) and at what age.







We can communicate with others, world wide at the touch of a button.
People are looking to find ways to colonise the stars.

When I think of all these, great gifts, I am very grateful.

Not necessarily in order, my top must be:

To be born here in Australia
In my century with all it's technological inventions
With the gift of sight and hearing
To have my husband & daughters 
To have the opportunity and time to write, particularly Starline, my first book.

So, here I pose a question to my readers, what are you grateful for? 

One lucky commenter will win an SCP gift certificate to spend on any Imogene Nix title, they would like to read.

So, to be in the running with a VALID entry:

Add your top 5 list of things to be grateful for.
Tell me which of my titles you would like to read
Leave your email address within your comment - remember to leave spaces though.

I will draw this on the 23rd December (my youngest daughters birthday) and will name the winner here on my blog.

Now that you have checked out and taken part in mine, why not pop along to the Secret Cravings Blog and see what the authors of Secret Cravings have chosen to be thankful for
