All of us Monkey’s decided for the holidays we’d get together and do a fun giveaway. Something the winner can use AFTER the holidays to relax and enjoy themselves! So, with that in mind, we’re giving away a $50.00 gift certificate 8O to one of the following: barnes&noble.com, Amazon.com, or Amazon.ca (which makes Canadian’s eligible to win, too — whoo-hoo!!!). The winner will choose which online bookstore site they would like the gift certificate to, and we’ll have it sent directly to them.
On top of that, each Plotmonkey will be giving away an autographed book from their backlist:
Leslie – HERE COMES TROUBLE
Julie – DIRTY LITTLE LIES
Carly – HOT ITEM
Janelle – SECRET SANTA
If you should have one or all four of those books already (and we really, truly hope you do! :wink:), then you can choose another book from the author’s backlist (depending on availability. Sorry, but no upcoming titles can be chosen for this contest — just existing already published books).
All you have to do to enter is post on today’s blog. Winner will be announced on Sunday, so be sure to stop by over the weekend to check and see if you’re the winner!


Janelle Denison finds it hard to believe that it’s been nearly 25 years since she first started writing romance novels. At first, it was a way to pass idle time while her husband worked swing shift, but before long it became an obsession to get published. Luckily, she kept at it (it took her over 5 years to get that first book published!) and is now a Waldenbooks, Barnes & Noble, and USA Today Bestselling author! Now, after selling over 45 plus novels, she finds that her Plotmonkey pals help to keep her stories fresh and unique, and she can’t imagine writing a story without their input. Janelle lives in Oregon with her husband, Don, along with two teenage daughters that keep life interesting.

What is your favorite Christmas tradition? Baking cookies is one of mine…I’m finishing mine up today. I’ve made a new kind this year, there called “Fudge Puddles”…I just have to *giggle* every time I hear the name! The dough is made with peanut butter and looks like a tiny little bowl and you put fudge in it with a pecan on top. Everyone have a very Merry Christmas! God Bless!

What a fantastic gift you are offering for this holiday season.

Looking forward to the rest of this festive season and the wonders it brings. Hope you all enjoy each and every day.

Holy Cow! What a fantastic prize. Just the books are worth the prize! I am such a loser (just put a big old “L” on my forehead). I thought it was Janelle’s turn to do the prize, so I wrote her a poem (I will work on others). Don’t send me back to first grade English class….
Janelle wrote us a book
She told us to take a look
It was so good
as we knew it would
Now, it is time for me to cook!
(I am off a sylabble or two, I know). I finished my wrapping for the most part, now I have to finish up the baking! Tomorrow is my pedicure (I am taking care of myself this holiday season).
Happy Holidays to all of the Plotmonkey Community! Thank you for bringing me joy this year!
:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Leslie- I made 6 dozen cookies for the party tonite. I had to hide them from my daughter. Thanks for a great recipie. It is definately a keeper. (I actually made one batch without the pecans by mistake, and they are good that way too, for anyone who doesn’t like nuts.)

8O That sounds like an awesome gift!! We aren’t exchanging gifts for Christmas this year because my family is leaving the day after Christmas to have New Years in Disney!!! So this would be so cool to win.

PICK ME! PICK ME! I’ve got my BN Member Reader Card all warmed up and ready to go. Actually, I just bought 15 books from eHarlequin (Harlequin Blaze and Silhouette Desire series) and will be getting those sometime soon. I probably won’t have a need for a gift cert, but I’ll definitely find SOMETHING. I like reading Kensington-Brava books and usually find one I’m interested in. That’s a great gift, though. $50 goes a long way for me, books-wise.
Happy Holidays!
