Welcome to our first Jungle Madness Friday.
It’s where you get the chance to win goodies from one of the monkeys. Today is Carly’s Friday and don’t worry, no joke gifts or bananas! I’m giving away something everyone was fighting over on my Carly fan loop (you can join the fan group directly at my website, www.carlyphillips.com). We’ll pick a winner from today’s comments to win a DIGGER the dog who stars in my summer hardcover CROSS MY HEART along with an Advanced Reading Copy of both CROSS MY HEART and HOT ITEM. The ARC’s aren’t signed but if you want to mail them to me, I’ll be happy to sign and send back or just mail you two autographed bookplates. GOOD LUCK!
Weekends are always active here in the jungle so be sure to stop by for MONKEY MISHMASH, where the monkeys go wild. You’ll find out the winner of Jungle Madness as well as what’s on our minds at any given moment!
See you in the jungle!
Carly Phillips would like to take 100% credit for all her stories but the truth is, Carly’s strength is writing family, emotion, funky elderly people and animals. She couldn’t plot her way out of a paper bag, which is why she smartly found her plotmonkey pals early on in her writing career. Thanks to their support, Carly is now a NYT Bestselling author of 23 plus novels. Because writing doesn’t keep her busy enough, Carly is also a wife, a mother of one preteen and one teenage daughter, the primary care giver of her soft coated Wheaten terrier and an expert carpool mom.

Nice contest.
Comment
Thank you for offering such an exciting prize.
Comment
Oh wow! I love the little (&) and the books look so great. And oh, I need Hot Item so I can round out my trilogy. :-)
Cross My (l) looks very sexy, cute and fun. Kinda like how I think most of your books are. *g*
Comment
In my opinion, CROSS MY HEART is Carly’s best book to date. It’s such an emotional story! I just know her readers will love it! Hey, Kelly–no shyness allowed around here! We don’t bite! Well, unless you’re made of chocolate, apparently! (See yesterday’s comments!)
Okay…gotta ask…what is this icon (~) supposed to be? I’ve been wondering all week. A bandaid? A chocolate bar? A cell phone?
Comment
:p Good morning everyone.
What a super-fantastic prize. Really really want it. :d Join the club, right.
Good question, Julie, hmm – I would like to say chocolate????
Comment
Wow, what an awesome prize! I love Digger the dog! He is so cute.
I love your books!
Comment
Good Morning,
Just swinging into the jungle. It took me a while but I made it. I had to go buy my Tarzan some food for his treehouse. :d Talking about chocolate bars I also bought for myself a Lindt 70% cocoa Dark Chocolate bar while I was at the grocery store this morning. I gotta take care of the Jane is me too.
Comment
Good lord forgive the mispelled words in my previos post. Blame it on lack of caffeine.
Comment
What a great prize! I’m feeling lucky today!
Happy Friday everyone. :d
Comment
What a great site – I would really like to win these books.
Comment
Wow!! I just found this fabulous spot……and so glad I did. Please enter me in your drawing as well…… :) I would to have an ARC……..but either way now that I have found this site, I will be making many more returns……
Comment
Oooohhhhh love the doggy! (&) My 11-month old would LOVE him as a present! (g) Carly, I am a new reader to your books, and so far, I (l) them. Would love to read more of them! So, here’s keepin my fingers crossed that I win!
Comment
Thanks Julie, I promise to participate more. I did read yesterday’s post by the way. But like I said the shyness got the best of me. Now that I have my feet wet posting I am sure I will be posting regularly now.
And FYI, I do keep a chocolate “stash” on my nightstand with my books and remote control. So I can unwind after chasing my two year old all day and reward myself with a bit of heaven. But I am by no means made of chocoalte. LOL!
My vote for the icon in question is a piece of film. It looks like a piece of a negative from my old 35mm camera.
Comment
I love this site and of course the Plotmonkey’s are great too. :) Please sign me up for the contest. I’d love to win the books and Digger would have a place of honor on my desk reminding me to keep digging into my plot. ;;)
Comment
Great site! Glad I clicked over from Julie’s link. Looking foward to reading more. I also think the icon is a film strip (representing a movie). Please enter me in the contest. Thanks! :)
Comment
(y) to the Plot Monkeys! What a fantabulous idea, ladies!
(d) to those of you who drink
(c) for Carly! It’s tea, Boss, not coffee.
And for the rest of you – go read!!
Can you tell I love all these wee icons? :p

Comment
Oh my god, that puppy is soooo cute. (&) Digger is absolutely adorable and I can’t wait to read about his adventures in Cross My Heart. I definitely echo everyone’s emotions on how cool this is. This is an inspiring new way to do contests, you guys are truly original. Keep up the good work and we’ll all keep reading. :d
Comment
Back to the jungle….I just finished bathing my very on version of Digger.
Bridgette (&) got her Friday bath. So did I. :d
I’d love to win the stuffed Digger . But I’d much rather win the copy of Cross My Heart. I love the Title. Be sure and put my name in contest or however you are doing it.
Comment
Love the blog! It’s on my list of daily online stops. I’d love to win Digger, and of course, the ARCs too. Do you get the feeling we all think Digger is *almost* as hot as those Chandler men? LOL.
Comment
Wow! What a great prize! Digger is so cute and who does not love ARC’s. I hate having to wait for new releases. Love the Blog. Sounds fun.

This might be my last swing thru the jungle today. Between the internet constanly disconnecting (grrrr) and my neice’s b-day party (^) this
afternoon I’m fixing to have to get very mobile and use some of that very expensive gas and run some errands.
I bet Carly is on the phone talking to Janelle while she is pulling through a Starebucks right about now.
I love the cute little monkey pictures that the authors choose to represent them in their jungle.
Well as Tarzan say Aaaaaaaahhhhaaaaaaaaa. (you get the idea (*) )
Comment
I would love to win one of the books! Any prize is a special treat. :)
How come there is no book icon? Just asking!! (~) I think this icon is a Blackberry! Please clue us in!
Comment
:d You know you are right, I think that icon is a blackberry and Elizabeth what loop – is there another way to win prizes? Always up for that. LOL.
Great site, ladies and what a fantastic first Friday prize. Hope I get lucky.

Hi, all. SO glad you came by! Thanks for the compliments, I’m blushing! I’m glad you love Digger. He’s very special to me. It’s been a rough week for me, w/a long migraine that won’t go away, so I hope to post a lot more next week. In the meantime I’ll be back over the weekend to announce a winner from today’s posters, probably on Sunday!
Happy Weekend!
Comment
Wow, what a great first jungle madness Friday! Guess I’d better start thinking of a fun prize…can’t compete with cute little Digger, though.
Thanks again, everyone, for helping to make our launch week such a success.
We’re not entirely “done” for the week…might be a few things happening around here this weekend, so if you’re free, pop in for a visit.

Comment
I’m back from the family b-day party.
Carly, I’m so sorry to hear you still have a migraine. I get them more often the older I get. I cometimes feel like I wish someone cut just cut off my head it hurts so much. I take my medicine for them but usually I have to have my husband massage my scalp and pull out the big professional massager and go over my back and shoulders. I hope you feel better soon.

Hi, Gigi. Thanks for the pity on the migraine. I’d love to just cut the head off. Great description, you know? Cold wash cloths and somethign called Migraine Ice helps too … I’m past the meds doing anything. Just have to let it run its course. Unfortunately it’s also raining today, which as you probably know, means the barometric pressure will kill my head. So not better yet.
See you all on Sunday when we pick a winner! Thanks to all who entered. I’m so thrilled at the great people who’ve joined us here in the jungle!
(note the sunglasses for the migraine!)
Comment
Sorry, Patti! :s But you can keep the compliments coming, anyway.
Carla, who has no power here. :d
