What Janelle had to say on Friday, January 2nd, 2009
Janelle’s Friday Jungle Madness Contest
Janelle Icon

After the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I thought I’d offer up a $25.00 on-line gift certificate to Bath & Body Works, so one lucky winner can go and buy herself some luxurious bath & body items!

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!

PS: Be sure to check out this video from Leslie and some of the other “stars” of last summer’s Trash Talkin’ Rita Finalists video! This time, they’re competing in the www.smartbitchestrashybooks.com book video contest!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Warm wishes for a Happy Birthday go out to Plotmonkey pals Fiona Crawford & Shannon Upright today! We hope you have a fabulous, fun-filled day!

Janelle

JanelleJanelle 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.

    a “Weight Away” bath soak? Boy do I need one of those.
