Plot Monkeys

Julie’s Jungle Madness Friday!

DIRTY LITTLE LIES has been out for three weeks now and it’s time to party!

The Junge Madness giveaway is the Valor Gold Selection Sampler. This attractive box of chocolates is the ideal introduction to Valor Spanish Chocolates, or perhaps a wonderful gift for someone who likes all types of chocolate, because it contains a generous sampling of everything. Look at the photos to see the variety – Valor’s famous bon bons, individually wrapped solid chocolate squares, chocolate covered almonds, and “Cuvé” – milk and dark chocolate sticks filled with flavored praline.

I gave this away weeks ago at my Marisela website and it was VERY popular!

I’m also going to send the winner a signed copy of DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS (the first book, if you don’t have it!) and a signed bookplate that you can put into your copy of DIRTY LITTLE LIES, because I know you’ve already bought it, because, well, I’ve been pushing that book on you like a used car salesman. And, just because I’m in a party mood, I’m also going to send a Cuban music CD that you can dance around the house with! Go on…I won’t tell if you’re shaking your groove thang!

Just post a comment…you know the drill. US entrants only because of the chocolate. Winner will be chosen via random drawing!

ALSO–you may have noticed that the Plotmonkeys now have a newsletter! If you sign up (look to your right,) you are automatically entered to win one backlist title from each of the Plotmonkeys! I’m giving away a copy of MAKING WAVES. Leslie is offering SHE’S GOT THE LOOK. Carly and Janelle haven’t specified titles, but you’ll get a great gift pack from all the monkeys! Sign up now!

5. The monkeys go from diets to chocolates in 60 second. LOL! By the way, I found out those new neighbors aren’t vampires (or at least not that we know of) but that they are college students, about 4-5 of them, paying $3K per month to live in a house a doctor used to live in (so picture the size/niceness/etc.) I’m still going to tell people they’re vamps because it’s a lot more interesting. Frankly, I think I would’ve preferred the vamps :bat: to the college kids, no offense to college kids intended, but this just isn’t a college party kind of neighborhood.

18. Cool prize Julie. I was a bit curious as to why DLL was in mass market the first time out…expected it to be in the trade size as DLS was.

    Hubby’s off this weekend so I hope everyone has as great a weekend as I plan on having (he’s only off every 3rd weekend so boy do I have plans for him ) By the time he gets finished with all the chores I have planned for him he’ll be glad to see Monday.

    Happy Weekend!!

28. Two of my favorite things in life, great books and chocolate. I just finshed reading “Dirty Little Secerts” and oh my goodness. :love2: The Amazon fairy just arrived with “Dirty Little Lies”. I can hardly wait to read what kind of “steam” Marisela and Frankie will create.

42. Oh yum! Chocolate is the best!!!! Wow you seem to always get tons of posts on the days that you have a contest. I’ve never read Dirty Little Secrets before but since I found the Plot Monkey’s website you have all introduced me to some wonderful books. I’m currently reading Hot Number by Carly Phillips. Oh back to the chocolate ! Hope whoever wins will enjoy it all!

44. Oh, yum, Julie, you foul temptress! I am trying so hard to use Janellle’s post from yesterday as an inspiration to be good. Whoever wins–eat a chocolate vicariously for me while I drag my sorry butt to Curves, okay?

    PS: Kelly…lol on the vampires vs. college students!

    Comment by Leslie — September 15, 2006 @ 12:36 pm

45. hey Julie,

    Great prize!!! Bring on the Chocolate!!!!!

    happy weekend!

    Comment by TRICIA — September 15, 2006 @ 1:06 pm

46. Temptation, temptation. Sign me up. I’ll read the book and give away (or try very hard) the chocolates.

    Comment by Patricia W — September 15, 2006 @ 1:13 pm

47. You know…I never thought about the timing with Janelle’s post…but the good thing about the chocolate sampler is that all the chocolates are individually wrapped so it’s…PORTION CONTROL! Yeah, that’s it.

    Barbara asked about DLL being mass market while DLS was trade–that was a choice made by me and the publisher. I just thought that the $12 prize was steep for romance readers who buy a lot of books–and the fact that DLS was shelved in FICTION (rather that in ROMANCE) made it hard for a lot of my readers to find. I hope this was the right choice. Someday, hopefully, DLL will be re-released in mass market.

    Kelly, LOL on the college students. You’re right…vamps are much more interesting. (BTW, I know Kelly R personally…she could be a celebrity, but she’s just an attorney. )

    Comment by Julie Leto — September 15, 2006 @ 1:25 pm
