I have a few announcements to make before I get to the main prize for our weekly Jungle Madness Contest. The Plotmonkeys don’t like to exclude anyone who lives outside of the U.S. when it comes to our contests, and we’ve come up with a solution that will hopefully work for those who live in other countries. If we should pick a name of someone who lives outside of the U.S., instead of the prize that is listed for that week, the winner will instead receive a $20.00 online gift certificate to either barnes&noble.com or amazon.com. We’ve had to snail mail a few prizes outside of the United States, and the postage ends up costing us a small fortune and at times more than the prize itself! So, this is our way of making sure all our visitors can enter our weekly contests, no matter where they live! 
This week, there will be TWO different winners for TWO different contests! Whoo-Hoo! :banana: The main contest is below, but I’m doing another giveaway for an autographed book of the reader’s choice from my backlist (and other fun goodies) for anyone who signs up for our Plotmonkey newsletter (see subscription box to the right). On Saturday evening, I will have our webmistress randomly pick an email address, and part of that email address will be posted on Sunday so you can claim your prize! If you’re already signed up for our Plotmonkey newsletter, then there is no need to sign up again. You are already entered to win!
Now, for today’s main prize, I’m giving away a Bath & Body Works gift collection. Take a walk on the wild side and pamper yourself with the sensual fragrance of Japanese Cherry Blossom! This exotic leopard print tote (which would make an awesome book bag!) includes shower gel, body lotion, body splash, and True Blue softening hand lotion! Winner will also receive an autographed book of their choice from my backlist (depending on availability).
All you have to do to enter today’s main contest giveaway is post anything below (and don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter, too, for another chance to win!), then check back on Sunday to 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.

Thanks very much for finding a way of including us Northerners each week. It is disappointing to see a lovely prize shown and then see “sorry, only for US residents”. We may not be able to get the prize shown, but at least we can enter the draw and get a chance to get some lovely new books. Books are always a welcome additional to this household. Have a great weekend everyone!

Good idea about the out-of-country prizes. No, it isn’t the same as getting the prize but it is nice that you thought of an alternative.

hey plotmonkeys,
Don’t enter me in the contest, I just wanted to say a few words. Moreover, I wouldn’t know if I were the winner because I will be on vacation over the weekend and for the next whole week. I know you haven’t heard from me for a long time. But here I am again. Hope I’ll blog regularly again but I had a lot of stress during the last few weeks.
Love your blog.
bye bye
