True Lies starring Kerri Nelson: A Blog Award & Contest!

Click on the Award to see my nomination!

This week I (Kerri Nelson) was nominated via my Book Boost Blog for the much sought after Creative Writer Blogger Award (hehehe). Thanks (I think) to the utterly smashing Nicole Hadaway for the nomination!

So, this is one complicated award because it requires me to complete several tasks as well as nominate 7 other lucky (poor souls) bloggers to carry on the award with pride! Please stay tuned for my nominations at the bottom of this blog post.

Basically, I'm required to tell you 7 things about myself. They can consist of either 6 outrageous truths and 1 outrageous lie. Or 6 outrageous lies and 1 outrageous truth. Which way I choose to go is for me to know and you to find out!

In fact, I double dog dare you to try and figure out which are true and which are lies! For the first person who gets it correct (post your idea here in the comments section), I will award a personally autographed copy of my new release Cross Check My Heart and your choice of 1 autographed book from any of the following authors (all of whom I will be co-attending an author event with on May 15th!) Here's the list of authors to choose from:

Sabrah Agee
Beverly Barton
Kay Cornelius
Shannon Dauphin
Debra Glass
Lynn Raye Harris
Laura Hayden
Pamela Hearon
Linda Howard
Linda Winstead Jones
Kimberly Lang
Janice Lynn
Kate Lyon
Tanya Michaels
Tanya Michna
Trish Milburn
Tricia Mills
Kerri Nelson
Rhonda Nelson
Christy Reece
Ramona Richards
Naima Simone
Kira Sinclair
Lyn Stone
Vicki Lewis Thompson
Debra Webb
Peggy Webb

If no one gets it correct, then I get to keep all the autographed books for myself (hehehe) but I will still draw one random winner from all the participants for an autographed copy of my book. The contest will run from today until next Friday (May 14th) when I will post the correct answers and announce the winner. So, get your response in no later than midnight (Central time) on Thursday May 13th to be eligible for the prize(s)!

Whew! Complicated stuff. Now, on to my True Lies...

1. I once locked lips with a famous musician.

2. I once spent the night with a famous actor.

3. I once was the personal chef to a high ranking military officer.

4. I once broke my butt.

5. I once dated a guy just because he had the same name as a celebrity.

6. I once gave my underwear to a complete stranger.

7. I once shook hands with a leprechaun.

There's my list. Let the guessing begin. And to quote my fave primal Slayer "You think you know what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun." In other words, just when you think you know someone...

Now to pass the torch on to 7 wonderful people that I know and love (xoxo) here are my nominations:

1. Rebecca Lynn (a hardworker, dear sweet person, and my newest BFF)
2. C.J. Ellisson (a motivated new author, an inspiration to others, and someone you want on your team)
3. Denise Alicea (a generous person, my guardian angel, and a blessing to authors near and far)
4. Emma Lai (a wonderful Mommy, a loving friend, and a talented author)
5. Sarah Templeton (a Book Boost Blog supporter, a pal from FF&P, and an up and coming author)
6. Nicole Zoltack (a fabulous historical author, a friend for the long run, and a Celtic sister)
7. Sandra Cox (my personal fave YA author, best buddy around, and a blogger extraordinaire)

I'm off to notify these nominees (unsuspecting victims) of their awards! TGIF, ya'll. :-)
