What Leslie had to say on Friday, July 11th, 2008
Leslie’s Jungle Madness Friday!

Since we’re all gearing up to go to the RWA conference in San Francisco next month, I thought I’d offer something special that I can pick up there. So here’s the deal–I’ll get the winner autographed copies of two books from your favorite author(s) participating in the July 30 signing. Plus I’ll throw in a backlist title of my own.

A few rules: The winner will have to provide me with a few names to choose from in case an author doesn’t attend or runs out of books. And you have to choose names from the list of authors participating, which can be found here.

I will try to honor requests for specific books but since I won’t know for sure which books the author will be signing, I can’t make any promises.

And the books have to be mass market paperbacks (no hard covers or trade.)

I’ll send the books to you in August after I return from RWA.

You know what to do–just comment and you’re entered! Good luck!

Leslie

LeslieLeslie 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.

    Omg, what a fantastic list of people! I would be thrilled to get a book from any of them. But, if I had to narrow down to a few names, I have to pick Julia Quinn, Anna Campbell, Monica Burns, Amanda Quick, Jenna Peterson, Sabrina Jeffries.

    I really wish I was going. Maybe someday.

    I love how Nora Roberts AND JD Robb are both on the list. I didn’t go through it to see who else has a split personality! :rotfl1:

    I survived my first week back to work. Ugh.

    (please only count #23 in the drawing). I can’t believe I screwed this up….I guess I was supposed to put the authors I wanted a book from?

    Diana Peterfruend (love her Secret Society books, don’t have the new one!)
    Julie Leto (Cameron’s cover, sigh or any other contemporary romance—she is the only plotmonkey I don’t have a signed book from!!!)
    VLT (non-paranormal romance…yes, I am a fan of the soapbox queen herself!)
    Roxanne St. Claire (loved her NASCAR book…she’s a funny lady…emailed her once and I can imagine she has a funny laugh, she has an amazing smile!)
    any other contemporary romance author/plotmonkey author (just ordered Carly’s “Hot Property” and Leslie’s new one…both look awesome!)
