Happy Spring!
Okay, it’s not here quite yet, but it’s almost here. My little tiger lily, tulip and daffodil bulbs have started venturing out into the sunshine and the little green sprouts are popping their heads up in my front garden!
Spring means it’s almost Easter…bunnies…baskets…eggs…CHOCOLATE!
So here’s what I’m offering to this week’s winner:

Yummy Hershey’s Kisses and cute Easter boxes. I’ll also throw in a backlist book for some steamy spring reading!
You know what to do…just comment and you’re eligible. Check back Sunday to see if you won so I can get your Easter gift ordered in time! (US Winners only, please!)
***************
Happy Anniversary to Barbara Vey and her awesome blog site, Beyond Her Book ! Please do me (Carly) a favor and stop by and comment, wishing her a happy anniversary. If you do, you’ll be eligible to win one of 75 prizes by amazing authors. I’m giving away the entire HOT ZONE trilogy and an ARC of HOT PROPERTY. Signed. So don’t walk, run and wish Barbara a Happy Anniversary!



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.
