#AtoZChallenge - BLOGGERS WERE CHILDREN TOO! - R is for Romance Paradise - the very generous Nas Dean



Hello!

Regular followers and visitors to this site will know I'm using BLOGGERS WERE CHILDREN TOO! for my theme this year. I hope you're enjoying reading about bloggers, some you know and some you may not yet know, as they respond to some prompts I sent out. I've been so grateful for their responses as it helped me to get to know them better, admire their stunning cuteness as babes, and delighted me with random facts.

Thank you Adult Bloggers for your heartfelt responses. Thank you readers for visiting my posts. I hope you'll leave a comment and if you'd like to follow the link to my respondents' blogs they'd be delighted to meet you.

Rock on A- Z Challenge. 


Yesterday was Ms Queenly

Today:     R is for Romance Book Paradise (Nas Dean)


I WAS BORN IN:  Lautoka City in the beautiful Island country of Fiji. Most people know it as just a dot in the South Pacific.

I GREW UP IN:  Lautoka City.

MY FAVOURITE HOME WAS IN: Lautoka with my parents.

MY BEST CHILDHOOD MEMORY IS:  Going to watch horse races, car races and rough terrain four wheel drive races with my Dad. Can you tell I'm an adrenalin junkie now and love watching races? I only wish I could make it to Melbourne Cup one year. 

MY WORST CHILDHOOD MEMORY IS: When my mum died leaving two small daughters and a five year old son. Only one elder sister was already married so she stepped in and helped our dad bring us up.
TODAY I LIVE IN:    Nadi. It's known as the jet-setTourist town of Fiji It's also home to many 5 star International hotels and resort chains. I live just minutes away from the Nadi International Airport- the gateway to the Pacific Island countries.

An avid and passionate reader of romance, Nas Dean loves reading and when not reading can be found gardening, her second favorite! She blogs at Romance Book Paradise. Befriend her onFacebook, follow her on Twitter or 'Like' the ROMANCE BOOK PARADISE Facebook page!

And you can join her Romance Giveaway group on Facebook for information on all the giveaways!

 Her reviews can also be found at Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble

Want to know more about Nas? She was profiled here...

Wasn't it exotic travelling to Fiji to meet with Nas? I so admire her for her selfless work in promoting romance novelists. We all need a Nas! Tomorrow I've invited Madeleine Maddocks from Scribble and Edit to share with us.

    I never figured Nas to be an adrenaline junkie. Cool. Also, living in Fuji must be nice.

    Yes Nas is amazing! She's such a great blogger and supporter of literature. Somehow, since my blogging slowed down I haven't managed to visit her as much, but she's always impressed me.
