Saturday Chit-Chat & SPECIAL CONTEST TEASER!

Welcome to the Saturday Chit-Chat, where Plotmonkey readers just like you post a question for all four Plotmonkeys to answer! It’s a chance to get to know us and our books better. If you have a query, please send it to carly@carlyphillips.com!

Here’s another one from Kelly F!

If you could write for another Genre which would it be and why??

CP: Romance. The one I am currently writing for suits me fine. I have no desire to change. I love love what I do and want to keep doing it!

JEL: I wish I could write straight mysteries or suspense, but I don’t think I could shrink down the romance enough. It’s such a part of who I am. My Marisela books go about as far as I think I want to in that area–the romance is not the central focus by any means, but I write sexy characters and so, conversely, they have to have hot sex, right? I’d love to have the brain to be able to write women’s fiction as I so love reading it, but so far, no ideas have come to me. I have had a few ideas for YA books, but I need to wait until my daughter is older so I can catch up on all the current slang, LOL! I’ve been so fortunate to be able to write what I love…no complaints here!

LK: Super-gory, super-scary thrillers. I know, I know, a strange combination with romance, which is my day job, but I really love to be scared (as I know all you regular blog readers know already.) I have loved Stephen King stories since I was a kid and I one day dream of keeping someone else up at night in absolute terror as he has done to me. That, and keeping readers up in absolute horniness…wow, my life would be complete. :wink:

JD: I absolutely love reading and writing romances. I can’t imagine writing anything else and I’ve truly never had any desire to do so. I like my stories with happily-ever-after endings! :wink:

This week is the last chance to sign up for the Plotmonkey’s newsletter (look to your right!) and be eligible to win four books, one from each Plotmonkeys, signed!! We’ll announce the winner next Saturday!

Julie Leto

JulieBy 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 over forty books to four publishers featuring strong, confident women. Julie lives in Florida with her daughter, a spoiled dachshund, a haughty lynx-point Siamese and a wide range of relatives all within driving distance.

    I for one, am glad that you all write Romance, but if you were to try some other genre I would certainly give them a try, I like suspense in Romance and I like HEA, which you all do so well………again thank you all for answering the questions………….. :thumbsup2:

    I am sure if any of you tried another format, it would still have just as much romance in it as your books do now. Yup, I would read them!!:thumbsup2:

    I love Romances with a HEA. For me, they give hope for real love in a sometimes dark world. A few fave authors have moved to RS & I’ve tried their newer books, but, don’t remain. No matter how well written, they are not what I want to read. I want to be swept away.
