Alice in Bloggerland
Thank you to all my lovely blogger friends, old, new, and yet to be discovered. Your friendships and expressive posts have kept me well informed and delighted. The tea parties around here are just fantastic!
Please allow me to thank some extra special friends for all the kindness and goodwill shown me regarding book reviews, author interviews, encouragement and fine friendships. You have kept my little world afloat and for that I thank you. I appreciate all of you so very much.
Let’s start with the Wonderland Queen herself, Ms. Ronda from Ronda’s Wonderland. Yes, there is such a mystical place in bloggerland! You never know what you’ll find over there but you can bet it will always be magical. I get curiouser and curiouser every time I visit. She is a delightful hostess who can spin words like silk. You might find her in a field of talking flowers, so you can’t miss her.
Moving on down the rabbit hole we discover an Ultimate Cheapskate! Hey, what the heck is he doing down here? Well, he is quite a colorful character and we bloggers like to save money, don’t we? Jeff Yeager excels at this and can help you as well with his rich, humorous tips. You’ll laugh all the way to the bank. Please do yourself a favor and check out his website and book The Ultimate Cheapskate’s Road Map To True Riches.
Here is another character I’ve been blessed to discover. Georganna Hancock at A Writer’s Edge at www.writers-edge.info/Blog.html There you’ll find a treasure trove of wit and wisdom. She has more than enough to share with all. Geo is a true blue professional on all matters of publishing and writing. You won’t want to miss her posts, bursting with knowledge learned from years on the front lines. She has been an inspiration to myself and many, many others.
Now who is that wee lassie flinging out glorious posts as fast as one can shuffle a deck of playing cards? Oh, it’s Elizabeth, from Ramblings at www.elizabethre.wordpress.com . You can bet she’ll keep you entertained and well informed with her unique spin on the world. There is always a burst of activity over there, fit for a queen or king. You will want to stop in for her fresh views on life and the way she weaves it.
We are now coming to the end of our journey and who should I meet but possibly Alice herself, all drenched with southern hospitality. In Deanna Schrayer’s world, there is much to discover over at The Life of a Working Writer Mommy at writingwonder.wordpress.com

Wow! I’m sensational? Who knew?
Thank you, Dorraine for including me in your lovely list of bloggers. It is a wonderland and I’m blessed to share the journey with other writerly folk! It definitely makes this vocation a little less lonely, wouldn’t you say? I enjoy discovering new voices too. There are many, many talented writers out there and this is one way to connect. (You, of course are one hard-working, talent lady.)
Stacy…the Sensational! Woo-hoo!
(I hope it doesn’t go to my head!)

Er, that should read, “talented”. Sheesh, my feather boa must’ve got in the way.
February 11th, 2010 at 7:03 pm
that is a great list of bloggers…haha Stacy has a boa tickling her
February 11th, 2010 at 7:48 pm
Oh, Stacy, I sure needed that laugh today! Thanks. And you are so very worthy. Keep that feather boa on for awhile, okay? This post is not exactly doing what I want it to, and has bunched you up with Geo. It won’t allow me to move you. I guess you two can get cozy and have a chat. Enjoy your evening Ms. Sensational!

Thanks, Paige! You’re quite a wonder yourself. Hey, maybe you’re the caterpillar!
February 11th, 2010 at 8:47 pm
Oh, wait, Paige. You can’t be the caterpillar either! I think I need a nap. Or something.:-)
February 11th, 2010 at 11:54 pm
Why thank you Dorraine:) I was wondering why I has so many new visitors today.
You have a pretty niffty blog yourself. There are few writers out there who can describe the beauties of this world as well or wonderfully as you do.
Thanks again,
Elizabeth

Dorraine, I am touched, thank you so much for the referral and kind words! I know it had to be difficult to figure out just how to say “interesting appraisals of the world” while still deeming me “drenched with southern hospitality”.
You are one of the kindest ladies I’ve ever met, and I appreciate your friendship so very much, even those “pushes” along the way.
After all, without your encouragement, I most likely wouldn’t be having such fun writing fiction. Thank you!
By the way, I loaned Jack Rabbit Moon to my mom and she read it in one afternoon – she absolutely loved it, but I’m not at all surprised by that, I knew she would.

You are so very welcome, Deanna. But you give me far too much credit. You would have discovered you voice sooner or later but better for us that it came sooner. Keep writing and hang on to your warm charm. It’s an awesome combination and what I love about you.
Glad the book passed the Mother test. They can be tough, you know! Please tell her thanks for reading!
February 12th, 2010 at 8:53 am
Elizabeth, you are a beauty. I was happy to do this. You and your blog are splendid and I hope you have a constant stream of new peeps. Thank you, sweetie, for the nice comment!

Thanks Drain – It’s an honor to be included among such a celebrity cast of bloggers … even if it is down a hole.
February 12th, 2010 at 1:58 pm
It’s an honor to include you, Cheap. You make the world brighter for everyone down in that rabbit hole!
February 12th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
Drainy! Thanks so much for all of your kindly honey scented praise. You are a pleasure to work with and know. I enjoy each and every post here not to mention Jack Rabbit Moon…but I will.
I saw this come up yesterday but when I came over, it was not to be found. Must’ve slipped out a wee bit early. Hey! I can post from my BBerry now!
February 12th, 2010 at 8:31 pm
Well, the Queen of Wonderland deserves nothing less than honey!
Such a treat to have found you and your writing, Ronda. Keep going. That’s it, a little further. I’ll keep the encouragement coming. Yay, re: posting from your BBerry!
Yeah, I was having link issues and took a wine break. The post went with me, just for a little while.

What a sweet pre-Valentine’s Day gift! Thanks, Dorraine
February 14th, 2010 at 1:59 am
You’re very welcome, Geo! And most deserving. Happy Valentines Day.

Oh you did it so well and so wonderful and magical at the same time. I enjoy the company of the blog world so much and yet to find a way to express my thanks.
February 21st, 2010 at 11:11 am
I enjoy it too, Ocean Girl! Thanks so much.
