What Carly had to say on Friday, October 5th, 2007
Happy Early Halloween!
Just because I have the first Friday giveaway of the month shouldn’t mean I can’t celebrate Halloween with all of you … so … you know the drill: post today for a chance to win GODIVA CHOCOLATE (milk chocolate covered mini pretzels drizzled with orange stringing) and this adorable cuddly black bear from Transylvania!
and your choice of book from my backlist.*
* everything subject to availablity – if Godiva sells out, I reserve the right to substitute another Godiva chocolate gift; Backlist doesn’t include Cross My Heart or Sealed with a Kiss
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.

How did you know??? I have been craving chocolate covered pretzels the past few days! Although, I am a bit worried about the bear. He looks like he could use a good set of glasses. Is there not a good optometrist in the
Transylvanian bear community?
Comment

woof woof to everybody from Maine,
Mom took a morning folliage walk and is now resting so Zoey and I decided to post. We aren’t allowed chocoilate beibg dogs and all but
Pinker Digger is all about that handsome hunkie bad boy.
We are actually on our own form of book promotion this week.
Certainly we can not claim to have anything to do with Carly’s New York
BEST SELLER success. We are having a heck of a good time traveling
Maine and taking pictures while gathering up country folks a gawking
and questioning, “Why are you taking pictures of that stuffed dog?”
“That Dog?” the nerve Zoey keeps telling me how adorable I am.
Once they know what we are doing most laugh and walk away then there
are always a few stick in the muds. But not too many lucky for us.
Anyway Zoey and I think Ollie should make the tour next year.
We will gladly draw attention to a good book anyday. Remember
Paddinton Bear? Why he traveled the world. We could start a whole new
form of book promotion. Well I promised Zoey we’d go play in the colorful fallen leaves, so we have to go now. Zoey goes crazy in the leaves while I watch from the protection of the infamous plastic bag. That’s right!
Mommy has a thing about my getting dirty so I pretty much travel in a
gallon zip lock bag. And Yes it has holes so I am clean but ready to go any where to promo ‘Sealed With a Kiss and “Cross Your Heart”
Comment

What an adorable prize! Have a great weekend everyone! I am excited about mine. We are heading to my family’s home to celebrate my birthday which is on Monday and tomorrow we are having a party for our baby girl who is turning one years old on October 10th. I can’t believe my baby is going to be one already. She was born two days after my own birthday so I call her my belated birthday girl.
Comment
Sorry, I meant belated birthday gift.
Comment
What a wonderful prize package. A cute bear (which I collect), some great chocolate and an interesting book. Sounds like all the things one needs for a cozy fall afternoon.
Have a great weekend everyone. Go Bucks

Wow what a cutie ( and getting a book too!!) but unfortunately due to an allergy to oranges I couldn’t have the chocolate – however if I am lucky enough to win theprize I am sure my daughter would like the chocolate a(nd I might even get to keep the bear after she has seen him) LOL
Comment
What an adorable prize! Chocolate and books…very cool! Count me in!

Cherie, my “baby” girl will be 17 on October 11th. :angel7: I still can’t believe it…

Carly, don’t count this for the contest…you don’t have to consider me for this weeks prize…it is a nice gift package though…
Wow, the month sure did fly by…
Well, I have this weekend off and some books to read…
Julie, I started Witchy Business and it is a quick read…I was very tempted to stay up and finish it, but I am getting over being sick, so I chose the rest route…what was the title of the book that discussed how Regina fell in love with Brock and almost died? Was it one of the Bad Girl’s Club books? I want to buy that one too because the backstory interests me…
Carly and Leslie, I started both your books today…Amazon package finally came…too late for the contest, but it doesn’t bother me…I still get to find out all about cannolis…I had double copies of the book, so I gave the other set to a friend of mine…she’s Italian and I told her she would love the “famous” cannoli scene…me devil, yep…
Janelle, your book came with the Amazon package too, but I still need to get the other Wilde’s before I start my marathon reading of that series…I know I could read them independently of each one another, but I won’t be able to…psychology block…
I am so glad that it is Friday…I might go to NYC this weekend to see my fam…Have a wonderful weekend all…
Peace and love,
Comment
Great prize, soo cute bear! :)

Definitely a cutie and chocolates yum – happy early halloween :bat:
Comment
I need some chocolate! :arrr:
Comment
Wow, what a great prize. The cute dracubear, with Godiva chocolate, Yum, Yum, Yum!
And, a wonderful book of Carly’s to go with it! 
Now isn’t that a wonderful way to start a long Thankgiving’s weekend in Canada, with the great summer weather we are going to have! 
Have a great weekend everyone, wherever you are and whatever you are doing!
Comment
It’s that time of the year, isn’t it? Snacks everywhere. Why not here? Count me in.
Enjoy the weekend!
Comment
HAPPY FRIDAY!!
which is nasty.Congrads on the book making best seller list 
OMG Carly you read my mind. :pray: I have hunted everywhere here for chocolate covered pretzels with no luck.Only kind I can find is white chocolate
Comment
Hey, Paula. Hope you’re feeling better soon!
Actually, I never wrote Regina and Brock’s backstory. You see their “break up” (so to speak…no spoilers here!) but I never show the relationship. The Bad Girls Club book was Regina’s sister, Lilith. In the next St. Lyon Witches story (out next year), you’ll see Regina and Brock still together, but I still don’t get to tell the story of their romance. I really couldn’t because…well, it wouldn’t have had a very happy ending, would it? :giggle:
Comment
That is just the cutest little bear! AND chocolate! What a terrific prize!
Comment
Chocolate, a book and a cuddly bear-now all I need is a little time to read the book
Comment
Love the bear!
Have a great weekend everyone!
(Happy Thanksgiving to those in Canada!)

I love the bear! Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. I let the kid in me come out more than ever.

Comment
Two of my favorites – bears and chocolate. What a great gift
Happy Weekend!!
Comment
It’s SO cute!!! I really want to just take him home and put him on my computer desk!
Comment
thank god it’s friday. So far this week we set up two calendar kiosks in the mall- the one on wed morning in less than 4 hours and that included sorting 245 boxes of the buggers.
then yesterday when I opened it up, and plugged in the lights one of them started a fire. Including flames. Up the side of the kiosk.
Chocolate would be good right about now.
Comment
Hey Julie, I got what you were saying…it definitely wouldn’t have been a happy ending…was just curious, but I get the picture as I continue reading WB…
Leslie, finished Overexposed and the cannoli scene was well worth the wait…loved it, loved it, loved it…figured the connecting scene between your book and Janelle’s too…didn’t even read hers yet…Wow…You can write girl…I can’t wait for the next Santori addition…gotta get the rest of the books though…my “to buy” pile is getting bigger every day…I love the Santori men…just wanted to drop by and tell you how I felt…btw…I will never think of a cannoli the same way again…still haven’t tried one yet…
Peace and love,
Paula R.
