What Julie Leto had to say on Friday, June 23rd, 2006
Now it’s my turn to give away the gifts! This week’s jungle madness contest prize is a signed copy of A FARE TO REMEMBER, two ceramic NYC Taxi mugs, a Statue of Liberty pen, a NYC Taxi pencil, a NYC Taxi key chain, a NYC Taxi magnet and a can of Nestle instant Cafe Con Leche, the drink that ensures that Rachel Marlowe, the heroine of my novella, “Driven to Distraction” meets the matchmaking cab driver, Mario Capelli!
Just post a comment and you’re entered! Don’t forget to come back tomorrow for our Saturday chit-chat and on Sunday when the winner is announced!
Oh…and I just posted my next installment in my blog series on finding a literary agent over at my Marisela blog.
By all reports, Julie Leto was a sweet child once, somewhat shy, preferring to play quietly in her room making up stories. However, being raised with three brothers in a loud, primarily Italian household did have its influences and Julie discovered her inner tough girl. That’s probably why most of her heroines kick serious butt. Writing sassy heroines has worked out, as she’s sold nearly thirty books to three publishers featuring strong, confident women. Julie lives in Florida with her husband, daughter, spoiled dachshund, enormous guinea pig and a wide range of relatives all within driving distance.
