My new blog name is live!
Just thought I'd mention that. Out with the old, in with the new -- what a great way to start the weekend, right?
So, if you haven't already, update your links to this blog to http://www.tktoppin.blogspot.com
That's all for now.
Cheers!

Versatile Blogger Awards Nominee
Oh wow, I just got nominated for a Versatile Blogger Award. Of course, being a little dense, I had no idea what this is...I had to Google it. (I still kinda don't know what it's about, but what the heck, right?)
So, I am following the rules, as per Poet: Whispers blog (who nominated me) indicates. And the rules are...
1. Nominate 15 fellow bloggers.
2. Inform the bloggers of their nomination.
3. Share 7 random things about yourself.
4. Thank the blogger who nominated you.
5. Add the Versatile Blogger Award button on your blog post.
I'm going to go backwards on this since rules are meant to be broken. :)

Thanks Bajanpoet from Poet:Whispers!!
Sharing 7 random things about me:
1. I'm short. Vertically challenged. Preconditioned genetically. A Hobbit in a land full of Gandalfs. Hey, I'm Japanese...give me a break.
2. I hate cooking, but I hate starving more.
3. Bugs and creepy-crawlies have never really bothered me in the past. But as I grow older, I prefer they understand my personal space requirements.
4. I was born, raised, and still living in Barbados. A Bajan, as we're called. 100%, like salt fish cakes, flying fish, cou cou, and pudding and souse. I just don't look the part...again, another preconditioned genetic trait.
5. In the cyber world, I've been mistaken for a dude (a few times). I suppose having an androgynous name like T.K. Toppin might mislead some people. But in case you're wondering, I am most definitely a dudette.
6. Even though I live on a tropical island, I hate the sun (and sunlight). Think cave-creature...Gollum...anemone. Why sweat when you can stay cool, right?
7. The last post brings me to the last. My car has cobwebs. Really, it does. And an accumulation of dust from its last yearly wash. I hardly drive around anymore. In the last year, if I've done 5K, that's a lot. Since working for myself, since becoming a self-imposed recluse, since I started writing, I have no reason, other than bothersome errands, to leave the house. That's what hubby is for. He does the groceries anyway...so why should I?
I'm informing other Bloggers of their nomination...now!

Looking to Change For The New Year
So, I have reached a decision...like I do every time the year inevitably draws to a close. This of course, is something that I've been debating for some time. But I feel the time has come now to finally enforce it.
I've decided to change the name of this blog page to tktoppin.blogspot.com.
It makes sense for this change over to my own name, rather than the name of my first book. After all, I will be writing more books, and I will be chattering about things other than The Lancaster Rule books. It's also fitting that come next year, the final of the Lancaster trilogy will be released into the world, and so comes the end of the tale. It simply won't be relevant to hold onto this blog page name.
My decision to change the name has not come lightly. In fact, I even considered creating a new page in Wordpress. But then I thought, why should I? I already have a blog that also serves well enough as a website if any one is interested in learning more about me. And why should I have more things to manage? I like keeping things simple.
So, come January 6th, 2012, I will be switching over to the new name. Don't worry, I'll be sure to inform everyone -- ad nauseam -- well before the change over takes place. That reminds me, I'll have to update ALL my links to ALL the places I'm linked to. That should be a tedious and time-consuming venture. May the force be with me.
Cheers.
