Today I’m giving away a beautiful Brighton “Rosalie Bloom” silver and crystal bookmark, along with an autographed book of the winner’s choice.
All you have to do to enter this contest is post on today’s blog. Winner will be announced on Sunday, so be sure to stop by over the weekend to check and see if you’re the winner!
************************************************
REMINDER:
The Plotmonkeys would like to make a special announcement about some auctions that are going on right now to help a fellow author, Jo Leigh, who recently lost her husband to cancer and is now struggling to pay the medical bills left behind. Julie, Leslie, Carly and I all made donations to help the cause, and we’ll list our items here, along with the link to the auction, just in case you’re interested.
Janelle Denison – USAToday Bestselling author for Berkley offers a written critique/evaluation of a first chapter (25 pages max) and a synopsis (10 pages max) of any contemporary romance novel. (Please, no historicals or paranormals). AUCTION LINK HERE
Leslie Kelly – author for Harlequin Temptation, Blaze, HQN, and NAL offers a collection of 25 autographed books (nearly all of her backlist titles, plus a not-yet-released Harlequin Blaze!). AUCTION LINK HERE
Carly Phillips – NYT Bestselling author for HQN offers a complete signed set of Hot Zone books: Hot Stuff, Hot Number, Hot Item, Hot Property. AUCTION LINK HERE
Julie Leto – NYT Bestselling author for Pocket, NAL, and Harlequin Blaze offers an evaluation of a synopsis for Blaze, as well as thirty minutes of telephone consultation on said Blaze. AUCTION LINK HERE

Signed and personalized copies of the PHANTOM PLEASURES and PHANTOM’S TOUCH, her connected Blazes, STRIPPED (Winner of the 2007 Best Blaze Award from Romantic Times) and SOMETHING WICKED (to be released in February, 2009) and DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS and DIRTY LITTLE LIES, starring the kick-ass PI, Marisela Morales, go the winner of this auction. AUCTION LINK HERE.

Janelle Denison finds it hard to believe that it’s been nearly 25 years since she first started writing romance novels. At first, it was a way to pass idle time while her husband worked swing shift, but before long it became an obsession to get published. Luckily, she kept at it (it took her over 5 years to get that first book published!) and is now a Waldenbooks, Barnes & Noble, and USA Today Bestselling author! Now, after selling over 45 plus novels, she finds that her Plotmonkey pals help to keep her stories fresh and unique, and she can’t imagine writing a story without their input. Janelle lives in Oregon with her husband, Don, along with two teenage daughters that keep life interesting.

Jolene, I’m in upstate South Carolina where it’s plenty cold (for us) but nowhere near what I’m sure you’re experiencing! Sounds like a good day to curl up with a hot romance.

Cher and Jolene – NO! It’s not that cold at my house. It was 48 this morning, which is much warmer than it has been lately, but thank God it’s not 12! I’d be packing my stuff and moving, if it were. :giggler

I love the bookmark, please include me. I’ve linked to the ebay site as well. Science Guy was amazed when I told him about it. He said, he’s never known people who band together like writers do, even when they may not know the other person.

I took a train at 6am to NYC with my neighbor for an eye appointment. We just got back.
With the kids on the train, it’s a good thing I didn’t need a bookmark like that today.

Great auction contributions – tough to choose what to bid on! In the meantime, I’d love to win the pretty bookmark and a book! Deb

I hope your auction is a huge success! I really feel for people with high medical bills; especially ones that are grieving. Please enter me in your drawing for the lovely Brighton bookmark. I would certainly put it to good
