What Leslie had to say on Friday, January 11th, 2008
Well, since we Plotmonkeys are going to be in California plotting for the next several days, I figured it would be appropriate to offer a prize that will make you feel like you’re “right there” which, in this case, means you’ll EAT like the Plotmonkeys. (Or, at least Plotmonkey Julie.) So the winner will get a 1 lb box of Julie’s favorite–See’s Chocolate!
I’ll also throw in an autographed copy of two of my favorite Harlequin Temptation novels…the connected books:
TWO TO TANGLE
and
WICKED AND WILLING
Leslie Kelly used to say she wanted to be a doctor when she grew up, but then she discovered Nancy Drew books. Being a flashlight-under-the-covers-nose-in-book reader throughout her childhood, she couldn’t think of anything else she’d rather do as an adult than continue to lose herself in fictional stories. Her real life marriage of 20 years to the man of her dreams is a constant reinforcement that happily-ever-afters really can happen…and that they’re worth writing about. Living in Maryland, Leslie spends her non-writing time laughing a lot with the above-mentioned romance hero and their three daughters. Though an author of more than thirty sexy, contemporary comedies, she has recently branched out to write dark romantic suspense under the pseudonym Leslie Parrish.

See’s are the BEST chocolates out there! And lucky for Julie, our hotel is literally right next to a mall that has a See’s. I’m sure we’ll be going for a chocolate fix. :grin1:
Have a great weekend everyone!
Comment
I’ve decided we need a smilie for YUMMY.
Comment
Hey, you guys have fun together…what am I saying? Of course you’ll have fun. And we want to see the pictures!
See’s is very good stuff – love the prize. Actually, I love all the prizes you monkeys offer up. Thank you for always being so generous with us. But I’d still visit if there were no prizes because you ladies rock. Have a great weekend, and let the mojitos flow!
Comment
I’ve never had See’s. Sounds great. Hope you guys have a great time.
Comment
Until Julie started talking about See’s I had never heard them. Still never tried them, although I did see that they had a kiosk in the mall around the holidays. The best chocolate I ever had, though, was fresh chocolate from Belgium — talk about YUMMY!!!!
Comment
Even if I can’t take part, a great prize as always. I’m sure the winner will enjoy the cookies as well as the books.
I’m sure you’ll have a ball meeting in California and of course I hope you’ll come back with a lot of great ideas for further great books.
Have fun and enjoy your time though
Glad it’s FINALLY Friday. It’s been a long week. I think everybody deserves the weekend. My plans for the weekend are reading, reading and…no, not reading but doing some errands.
Take care
See you :wave:

I worked my way through beauty school at See’s. Yes I wore that white dress with the big black bow but I also got to eat all the chocolate I wanted and could tell you what was inside each one just by looking at it (they do special designs for each flavor). I still love it!!! :present1:
