J.C. Martin, Fighter Writer

Welcome to my Writer Wednesday feature! Usually, I use this weekly feature to either showcase a fellow writer who has inspired/encouraged me in some way, or I interview one. Today, though, will be a bit different…

I’ve been awarded the Liebster Blog award! Thank you, Barbara G. Tarn @ Creative Barbwire! ‘Liebster’ is German for ‘Beloved’–aww!

To accept the award, one has to pass it on to five other bloggers. So this week, instead of featuring one writer, I’ll be featuring five! So here are my nominees for the Liebster Blog award–five of the awesomest blogs around!

To view their blogs, simply click on their profile picture, or their name!

Talli Roland

Talli’s been an inspiration to me ever since she published her first novel, The Hating Game. She introduced me to the chick lit genre with the fantastic and sweet Build a Man, and she continues to amaze me with the ingenious ideas she comes up with to promote her books, from an actual Build a Man website, to dressing up as Marilyn Monroe! Talli’s blog is chock-full of the same lighthearted humour, and it never fails to put a smile on my face!

Len Lambert

My buddy Len has just started a new writer’s blog. I enjoyed her old, more personal blog, but this new one is starting to look swell! Her second ever blog post was the cover reveal for Oracle as part of my ongoing Mystery Tour! That alone qualifies her for the Liebster Blog award, but there is so much more that I like about her blog, the design, the neatness, and like the kind, caring sweetheart she is, Len promotes her fellow writers’ books in her sidebar! So  here’s your first award for your new blog, Len!

Lucy Felthouse

Firstly, I love that cartoon writer girl at the top of her site! Also, the layout is fantastic: the share toolbar down the bottom, the Twitter, Facebook, etc. links on the right … but then again, what would you expect from a writer who’s also a talented web designer? Her website’s even been nominated for the Xcite Books Awards 2012! While Lucy is an erotic author, and some of her snippets, although a great read, can make some people blush, it’s a great place to get your weekly fix of eye candy. Totty Tuesday, anyone?

Lydia Kang @ The Word is My Oyster

Lydia is a writer and a medical doctor, and her Medical Mondays feature is a must-read! Ever wondered if it was medically feasible to kill off a character by breaking his neck with your bare hands? Or if your hero would be able to remain conscious all that time with the amount of blood he’s lost? What about dreaming up the worst disease ever to afflict one unfortunate character? Ask Lydia! (Okay, perhaps not all writers are that sadistic, but I am!) Understandably, Lydia’s already got a whole smorgasbord of blog awards, but if my eyes hadn’t deceived me, it looks like she’s yet to receive a Liebster Blog award. So, here you go, Lydia! Another award to add to your collection!

Michael Di Gesu @ In Time…

One of my favourite features on Michael’s blog is the Earthly Angels series. Not enough is done to recognise the true, honest, and caring people in the world, who go above and beyond the norm to help others in need. Michael’s Earthly Angels posts will restore faith in humanity, even in the hardest of hearts. He even made me an Earthly Angel once, an honour I feel undeserving of after reading the sacrifices of other Earthly Angels. I know you’ve already received the Liebster Blog award previously, Michael, but one more can’t hurt!
