Here Comes Trouble!!!
In honor of my current release, and in honor of the fabulous Monkey pj’s Julie got all of us for Atlanta, I’m offering this week’s Jungle Madness winner a chance to be an honorary Plotmonkey. You’ll get your very own Monkey PJ top…with my favorite slogan, HERE COMES TROUBLE!!!

Along with the sleep shirt, the winner will get an autographed copy of either She Drives Me Crazy, or She’s Got The Look, my first two HQN single title romances. Both of them are full of trouble, too!

Just comment and I’ll draw a random winner this weekend.
Speaking of HERE COMES TROUBLE, here’s a shameless plea: I could REALLY use your support on this book. I’m very worried about the future of the TROUBLE books and a vote in the bookstore could make a big difference for me. So if you like my books in the past, or like the excerpts you’ve read, and you are thinking of buying the book, I am falling on my knees begging you to do it. I *promise*–if you like my books, you will NOT be disappointed by this one. It’s very funny, very sexy, very outrageous.
Begging done. As always, THANK YOU for your amazing support and encouragement!
Leslie


Leslie Kelly used to say she wanted to be a doctor when she grew up, but then she discovered Nancy Drew books. Being a flashlight-under-the-covers-nose-in-book reader throughout her childhood, she couldn’t think of anything else she’d rather do as an adult than continue to lose herself in fictional stories. Her real life marriage of 20 years to the man of her dreams is a constant reinforcement that happily-ever-afters really can happen…and that they’re worth writing about. Living in Maryland, Leslie spends her non-writing time laughing a lot with the above-mentioned romance hero and their three daughters. Though an author of more than thirty sexy, contemporary comedies, she has recently branched out to write dark romantic suspense under the pseudonym Leslie Parrish.

I buy ALL your books and I have already started reading it. It was available at Amazon even before it was available at EHarlequin. I just started it but you’re right. No one will be disappointed. I was laughing out loud in the FIRST chapter!! I love Mortimer Potts! He’s a real hoot. I want to see more books based in Trouble, PA.

Down girl!! Already bought the book!!:thumbsup: Haven’t had a chance to read it yet- gotta do some housework occasionally!!:hissyfit:

Comment
As akways, another great prize! Sign me up. Leslie, I don’t think you have to beg to much with this crowd! Can’t wait to read it.
Comment
Leslie….cute shirt! Another book for me to buy! I am so brain-dead…is it a ‘sequel’ to the other two (Okay, I am so lame and slow, it is not funny, if it is half as good as the pecan pie scene, I am SOOOO there…I can’t look at a pecan pie the same way….hubby wants one for his birthday…what am I going to do?).
Janelle: I do have a question for you, though…..first of all, you were SO right, “Seduced” was SOO much better than “Tempted”. I didn’t know it could get any better…..are you planning on a book for Natalie (Ryan’s sister)? Geez, I had to re-read the juicy bits in “Seduced”, PLUS turn up the A/C way high (I think I almost froze my three little ones!).
Comment
That’s an awesome shirt.
I’m reading Here Comes Trouble now. I’m totally in agreement with Darcey – Mortimer Potts is a great character. :) Love the Feeney twins, too. :happy2:
Comment
What a cute shirt. :)
I have already bought and read Here Comes Trouble and I loved it. I hope that we get to hear more about everyone in Trouble.:lol:
Comment
Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the support and positive comments!!! For those of you who’ve read it, yes, I am *planning* more Trouble stories. I’m writing Allie Cavanaugh’s story now–it is a novella and will be out next summer. (She hooks up with a “Gypsy King” carny man…hot hot hot!) Mike’s book is next summer, too, and his heroine is the great-niece of Ida Mae and Ivy…he better hope she hasn’t inherited their murderous streak.
Beyond that, it’s all up in the air.
Katie, no, this book isn’t at all connected to She Drives Me Crazy or She’s Got The Look. Just offering one of those as the prize this week, but there’s no connection.
And for everyone who asked, this shirt is available on Amazon! That’s where I got the image.

I can’t wait to see who gets that ADORABLE Plotmonkey t-shirt! Good luck, everyone! And if you haven’t read HERE COMES TROUBLE — RUN to your bookstore and get it! It’s laugh-out-loud funny with a hero that is YUMMY.
Katie — I knew you’d enjoy SEDUCED! I had such fun writing that story, and I just loved Ryan. As for Ryan’s sister Natalie, I’m sorry, but she doesn’t have her own story.
