LUCKY You!
Carly Icon

Plotmonkeys readers/visitors are in for a treat!
A sneak peek at my October cover for LUCKY CHARM (10/08)!
2008 is the year of bare chested men on my covers (remember the sneak peek for HOT PROPERTY 7/08).
ENJOY!

Carly

CarlyCarly 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.

    :hothot: A great way to start off a Monday. Especially after I thought we were going to get enough snow to stay home. :wallbash:

    Better than a cup of coffee to wake up to!!

    We didn’t get much snow either. Maybe an inch- the TV was saying close to a foot by morning and it didn’t start until 5am or so. And it looks so pretty outside too.

    Happy Birthday, Cher!
    We’re plotting, can’t talk long.
    Thanks for the compliments, so glad you like it!
    So if you remember, HOT PROPERTY (july) also has a bare chested guy …

    You’re all happy with the notion of bare chested men covers?

    YOWZA!!! Makes me think :devil: thoughts! Welcome to CA-sorry about the crazy wind! Carly I saw you speak at the OCC/RWA meeting Saturday it was my first meeting. I was looking for a critique/plot partner and after your talk I ended up exchanging info with the woman sitting next to me. We are at exactly the same point (just finished first book starting 2nd) So I was wondering if you had any other suggestions on how to get the most out of this new partnership? Anything we should do/avoid? Thanks for signing my books! Beth

    Carly,
    If we’re happy with bare chested guys? (that question really is a rhetorical one.) Who isn’t? :whipbanana: He’s so :hothot: It’s getting hotter in the room here, too. Great cover and thanks for sharing. Love the sneak peeks. I’m looking forward to your next release like crazy. I’ve been already counting the days. And Cher, you ARE right: That book is definitely going to fly off the shelves. And :happybd: Hope you’re celebrating! :cheer: Enjoy yourself.

    Glad you ladies are having a great time. Have fun :thumbsup:

    Everybody’s talking about snow: Haven’t seen one single flake for the last few days.
    As for the Cowboys loss: :boohoo: Hope the Pats will make it
    :cheer:

    Have a great time and hope you’ll come home with even greater ideas. :thumbsup:

    See you :wave:
    Vero

    I’ve just checked out the cover of HOT PROPERTY again. Wow, these guys are awesome. If there’s another jungle friend who’d like to take a look once again, it was the blog on September 3rd. WTG, Carly :cheer:

    See you

    Oh, yum! :hothot: I love covers like this because it leaves the face to me & the publishers rarely have a guy on the cover that is equal to the Hero in the book! Bare chested, works for me! He could keep me warm anytime!!!! :rotfl1: :flamer:

    :happybd: to Cher. Believe me 52 is young! Just wait!! :hug2: Have a wonderful day.

    While I love the cover, and I do, I wish it wasn’t like that.
    I recently went book shopping about bought four books by four different authors. They all had almost identical covers – and this one is just like the others.
    How funny would it be if it was the exact same guy on all the covers. lol
