The Blogger Recognition Award

In the last week I have been surprised and honoured to find that I have been nominated for the Blogger Recognition Award by Blogger Sally Georgina Cronin of the Smorgasboard Blog. My sincere thanks for the nomination Sally.

You can find Sally’s blog here:

Now I have to say I am not worthy of this nomination – I believe the true Bloggers are people like Sally; hard-working, loyal and dedicated people who work and write hard on behalf of people that most of the time, they have never even met.

These are the people who truly deserve this Award, not me.

Why I began blogging.

I started blogging in 2007 but didn’t really understand much about it. My early attempts can be seen here: authorjohnapriest.blogspot.com

As my writing progressed I got to know bloggers who have been so helpful in getting my children’s books noticed by a wider audience. I realised I had to maintain a blog to keep in touch with bloggers and readers.

Recently I decided to switch all of my author websites to WordPress and I’m busily setting these up with free e-book offers for anyone interested in reviewing my books or joining my pre-launch team.

During my time as an online author I have spoken to many bloggers and every one of them has been kind, friendly and ready to help in any way they could.

For me, Sally would have been included as a nominee, but unfortunately rules are rules and so she has to be omitted from my list.

My 15 Bloggers who I feel should be recognised for their hard work are:
