What Carly had to say on Monday, September 17th, 2007
Hi, all. First off, apologies for being MIA on the plotmonkey blog lately. I was busy last week with the Jewish holidays and revisions on HOT PROPERTY. Today, I’m going to Boston to see my baby nephew who I should have seen months ago 
so I’ll be MIA again today. I promise to get better on my return. If you missed our Saturday blog, we had multitaltented author Karen Rose talking about writing, so please check it out!
And now for today, in my absence, I leave you with the video for SEALED WITH A KISS. Oh! Don’t forget to turn your volume up before you play!
Sooo … what do you think?
I can not wait to come home tonight and see your reactions!
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.

Yes, we’ve missed you! :flower4you: As for the video, I like it, I like it! :banana:
And now, with the revisions for HOT PROPERTY done, you know I’m going to be cracking the whip for you to get the next story written! :dominatrix:

Nice job Carly…I am ready for Hunter’s story…will you ever have a movie for any of your books you think? The “trailers” for you books are fab and I could seriously see CMH and SWAK as movies…I hope you have a wonderful trip…I was MIA myself this week…I am going to find some time, like the wee hours of the morning to take part in what you guys have to say…I wish the good old days of summer were still here…the weather just changed drastically in NE Connecticut…it feels like winter is upon us…your book is definitely coming out at an opportune time to heat up the temp…I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday…hopefully I get another chance to drop in…
Peace and love,

Having recently read “Cross My Heart”, I am chomping at the bit for “Sealed with a Kiss” and Hunter’s story, so yeah, this is totally getting me in the mood for it :)

Counting down the days until this book is released. I LOVED the trailer for it.

Wow, what a great video. You do a really good job with all of them!
Paula – it’s gotten cold here too, it was down to 50 last night and only 80 today! :happy2: I know, probably not as bad as you have it but it was a real shock to open the door for my son this morning and realize just how chilly it was!
Hope everyone has a great day. I’m grounding myself from the internet until I get some editing done on my WIP. I know I’m going to have serious withdrawals so I think that will give me the push I need to get them done!
I hope……

WOW! Awesome trailer, Carly. I LOVE it. Sexy and emotional. The gun shot in the beginning was unexpected and clever. It drew me right in.
Hope everyone is having a great day,
Cher

Love the trailer Carly. I also loved SWAK!!! Hope you have a great time visiting with your baby nephew.

Looking forward to this one! The book trailer looks great. I just wish all authors had one for their books… any chance you’ll make any for the books in your backlist? :pray:
Comment
Awesome trailer. When I was watching it for the first time I was startled when I heard the gun shot.But it really drew my attention. I love the video. I’m looking forward to SWAK like crazy. I’m already counting days.
Check out your website almost every day to see if there are news about SWAK or Hot Property. Wish you a great time with your baby nephew.
Everybody out there a great and safe new week. Hope it’ll pass quickly so I’ll have time to read a few books at the weekend. :readdabook:
See you

Awesome video! Started out by getting my attention right away with that shot…wow! Full of exciting questions that need answers and those caresses left me wanting more…much more time for ‘Sealed With a Kiss’.
Comment
Absolutely great trailer!
You have certainly been missed.
I can wait til the 25th. I’ll be on vacation.
It will be my first vacation read for sure.
Now for a new adventure from Zoey,
Hubby calls me at work. He has both good news and bad news.
A call to work is like one of those 3AM calls(never good.)
First he took the dog for a walk outside and she caught a mouse.
(Not sure if that is the good or the bad? Neither was I.)
But the bad news was yet to come: He thought she swallowed the mouse.
:darth: Getting picture of all 2.5 lbs. of dog and the evil mouse.
He then says but it was a very small mouse. :argue1:
Then we go back and forth and determine it would be very unlikely that
she would swallow the mouse whole. I mean she is spoiled and very well
fed. I for the first time in my life, I was really crying and laughing at the
same timeCan you say hysterical? After a quick call to the vet he agreed
blood should have been somewhere
Nope no blood so we
determine the mouse got away. Two days and several trips outside later
no signs of unusual movements so the mouse definitely got away.
Zoey is going to be the death of me she is. Anyway that was her newest
escapade. Have a nice calm day all!
Comment
:hug2: Jeannie, I feel your pain
lol Although I must admit my yorkie who is 10lbs would have probably been afraid of the mouse, sometimes when we walk and the wind blows he gets frightened lol 
Poor baby 
Comment
Oh, too funny, Jeannie! It is hard to imagine your little 2.5 Zoey swallowing a mouse. Boy, she certainly is a frisky thing, isn’t she? :giggle:
Comment
Jeannie –
I’m so glad I got my editing done so I could come back and catch that story! That is too funny.
Comment
Wow, Carly- – - the video is very tantalizing!
I’m sure it will have people rushing to the computer to order or going to a bookstore on September 25. I hope you enjoy seeing your nephew today. It would be nice to see a picture of him. I love babies! :heart1:
Comment
The video is great!
Am reading Cross My Heart now and am looking forward to Sealed With A Kiss.
Comment
Donna M – wanna help me babysit on Sat? I’m not real good with babies and my SIL offered to keep a cousin from out of town’s baby Sat. evening. Then she remembered she has something to do and has volunteered me! :yikes:
