Summer or Winter?

Laura Eno at A Shift in Dimensions is a fantastic blogger. And an even better writer. I'm sure most of you visit her blog regularly. If you haven't met her yet, head over there - after you finish reading here, of course :)

Hint: On Fridays she posts great flash stories.

Laura also is the author of several novels. The most recent is Don't Fall Asleep. I've only read an excerpt so far, but I'm looking forward to reading it soon. It's set in the 27th Century and is about Dream Assassins. How cool is that! Well . . . unless you meet one on a dark, starless night.

I'm honored that Laura has presented me with the Summer Blogger Award. And I especially love I received it in the winter! I love coloring outside the lines - if you hadn't already guessed.


Isn't it the most appropriate award ever for Under the Tiki Hut? I think so. After all, no matter what time of year you visit, it's always summer here.

Laura passed the award to three bloggers, so I'll do the same:

Alex J. Cavanaugh

The Eagle's Aerial Perspective

VR Barkowski

Enjoy visiting all of these wonderful blogs!

Congrats! to all on their awards. Laura is an awesome blogger. I love her FFs, especially Kronos and company. Great stuff.

Congrats to you and your fellow nominees! Doesn't it feel like it was just August, and 90 degrees, sunny, the gardens in bloom? Wow, can't believe it's Christmastime already!

Elizabeth - I'd enjoy 'always summer', too. There's a joke that says Texas has four seasons, too: almost summer, summer, still summer, and deer season.

Stephen - Yes! I love those stories, too.

Joanne - I know! Where has the year gone?

Congrats on the award. I'm on chapter five of Laura's book and it's really interesting. I don't know why I thought it took place on earth because it doesn't.CD

Congratulations on the award. It definitely fits your blog. Thanks for Laura's link, I'm off to check it out. BTW, need to think of summer today since the temperature is only reaching 30.

Thank you, Laura! Yeah, it would be a little chilly walking on the beach right now.
Carol Kilgore saidā€¦
Clarissa - I'm looking forward to reading it.

Karen - Any beach; any place; any time :) Thanks.

Mason - Brrrr. It's cold here, too, but that's relative. Our high will be about 60.

Elspeth - Great minds :)

Alex - hahaha...paybacks.
Winter on the beach with the right clothes and a parka is good.

Aubrie - C-c-cold! Stay bundled up.
