Meet Llinos!
Where can we find you on a typical Saturday morning?
Don't
look for me too early, because I'll be sleeping on! But once I've had
breakfast I will probably go out for a run and then come home to write a
few blog posts or read my book for an hour. My guinea pigs will be
chatting away in the background while I enjoy my coffee.What is your earliest memory?
I
can remember being a toddler in the bath and screaming my head off
while my parents desperately tried to clean me! I have a deep rooted
fear of water which still affects me today, but luckily bathtime is a
lot less stressful these days.
Can you tell us a bit about the novel you are writing?I would love to! I have written 30,000 words of my first draft, and I am so excited. My novel is about a young duchess who rules a magical land of mystery and mermaids. She is mourning the death of her father and trying to become a strong leader, but she is haunted by her past and is facing marriage to a stranger. Can she become the duchess that she was born to be?
You write about life in Wales - which most of your American readers probably haven't been. What are some unique facts about Wales?
-We have more castles per square mile than anywhere else in Europe.
-We have a turbulent history and a wealth of legends including the stories of Arthur and his Knights.
-We have our own language, and I speak it fluently.
-Mount Everest is named after a Welshman, Sir George Everest.
-There is a Welsh speaking community in Patagonia, Argentina.
Have you travelled to the US? If so, where? If not, where would you like to visit?
How do you pronounce your name, Llinos?
What is the best piece of blogging advice you have received?
It's definitely to write genuinely and authentically. When you write a blog post which excites you, it's the best!

This week I have quite a few favorite posts by others, so bear with me as they all deserve credit! Let's get right to it...
"FitBit One Review" by A Diamond with Sapphires. I have been wanting a FitBit, but honestly was a little overwhelmed with all of the options. Ashlen did all of the research for me - including features of each model!
"Let's Save the Dogs" by The Daily Tay. I love dogs. I love helping dogs. If I could rescue all of them, I would. But I can't, so these shirts will help me do something. 20% of the proceeds goes back to help the puppies! Win/win.
"Top 10 Indoor Toddler Activities" by Wife, Mommy, Me. It's winter. And although I love winter, my children get a little restless. Stephanie shares some great activities to do indoors. Definitely using these soon!
"Ladylike" by Flowers in Your Hair. Teaching my daughters how to polite doesn't mean that they need to lose their voice. Nina's post spoke to me, especially since it is such a fine line.
"Blogging 101: Pocket" by Love the Here and Now. I downloaded this app after Anne's post, and I love it! I can easily go back and read all of the articles that I didn't have time for during the day.
