Jungle Madness Friday! | Plot Monkeys

What Carly had to say on Friday, July 25th, 2008

Enter for today’s MYSTERY GIFT!

Just leave a comment…I’ll reveal the gift later today!

Okay, the “mystery” has been solved. It appears that I posted the contest for today on the wrong date! Sheesh! Anyway, here’s what I’m giving away today!

I still can’t offer an autographed book, because they’re still all packed (somewhere!) and I have no idea how long it will take me to unpack them. So, I’m offering up a $25.00 online gift certificate to Barnes & Noble. With a bunch of Plotmonkey books hitting the stores this month and next, I’m sure you’ll be able to find something to your liking! :monkey

So, for your chance to win a $25.00 gift certificate to B&N, just post anything on today’s blog, then check back on Sunday to see if you’re the winner!

This entry was posted on Friday, July 25th, 2008 at 2:16 am in Janelle. You can feed this entry. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

Carly

Carly 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.

Happy Friday –

It is a beautiful day here in NYC and I am leaving for my cruise tomorrow – I already packed my Hot Property and Wild for Him and cannot wait to get reading by the pool, with a Mojito.

Have a great week everyone – I know I will…

Janelle…did you go to James Taylor (useless bit of trivia for the day….JT had a HUGE influence on Garth Brooks…so much that Garth named one of his daughters Taylor!). The concert was awesome! This was my 7th or 8th of his….I am totally a Taylor-head….what I really adore about him is that he has such great respect and admiration for his band and back up singers and they are so loyal to him (and pretty amazingly awesome in their own right!).

Have an amazing Friday, everyone! Gotta finish up the school supply list at Target today…boys had a great week at summer school (yes, I am the meanest mom in the world, I send them even though they don’t need it!)
