What Carly had to say on Friday, January 30th, 2009
Secret Fantasy Jungle Madness Giveaway!
Carly Icon

I’ve hijacked the 5th Friday of January because there are some really cool things going on with SECRET FANTASY! More news on that below. For now, here’s what I’m giving away: A SIGNED COPY OF SECRET FANTASY! You know the drill. Post here for a chance to win!

What’s happening with SECRET FANTASY? This is a VERY cool advertisement floating around the Internet. A great combo deal celebrating Harlequin’s 60th Anniversary: Sony and Harlequin team up to provide 6 months of special deals, a special embossed cover, and 17 free books. Read more about it by clicking here.
And guess what else? There will be a segment on Monday Night’s EXTRA, February 2, 2009. When can you catch it in your area? EXTRA! Click here!

Good luck!

Carly

CarlyCarly 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.

    Thanks for the heads up on the Harlequin ad and the free book.

    I for one can’t wait to read Secret Fantasy.
    Is this the first book to use the title Secret Fantasy?
    I really like the title. :flower4you:

    :biggroan I sure am glad this week is over and done with. Things have been so BUSY at my fed gov’t job (budget cuts=reassigning people, etc.), then to top it off, had to take care of my mom whos come down with a severe sinus infection thats congested up her chest. This had me running to drug store to get her an inhaller, vapor rub, etc. — think I ended up buying everything that Vicks has out on the market!!So I’m looking for a chance to just sit back, relax, and maybe do a little reading.

    Hope everyone else will have a safe and relaxing weekend.
