What Julie Leto had to say on Friday, February 20th, 2009
Julie’s Jungle Madness Friday!
Julie Icon

Since I am watching my calories and can’t really afford any chocolate treats…I’m giving them to you! Win a box of my FAVORITE See’s Chocolate and a book from my backlist!

This is dark chocolate. Of course, this is the healthiest type! And my favorite…but I’ll send milk chocolate if you insist.

Have a great weekend! And don’t forget to stop by tomorrow…I’m giving away Joanne Rock’s latest Blaze as TARA contest chair, Anne-Marie Carroll, discusses the mistakes that contest entrants make that keep them from making the finals!

Julie Leto

JulieBy all reports, Julie Leto was a sweet child once, somewhat shy, preferring to play quietly in her room making up stories. However, being raised with three brothers in a loud, primarily Italian household did have its influences and Julie discovered her inner tough girl. That’s probably why most of her heroines kick serious butt. Writing sassy heroines has worked out, as she’s sold over forty books to four publishers featuring strong, confident women. Julie lives in Florida with her daughter, a spoiled dachshund, a haughty lynx-point Siamese and a wide range of relatives all within driving distance.

    I didn’t get chocolate for Valentine’s Day. Change is supposed to be good, but NOT when it comes to Valentine’s Day chocolate. Deb

    Happy Friday Everyone! It’s finally here :cheer:

    See’s candy is my favorite, and a staple in my family :wink:

    I was brought up in a household where chocolate and wine were necessary for a healthy diet – and “moderation” was up for interpretation.

    And nothing is better than a good book = winning combination for anyone

    Have a great weekend all :wave:

    Hi Julie,

    I’ve never heard of See’s either. They must be local or regional. We have Stovers and Whitman’s here. Chocolate house and Ambrosia used to be here, until they took nose dives years ago.

    Have a great Friday everyone!

    That chocolate looks so good. Count me out though, since I’m not in the US. I’ll just have to add Sees to my “to try” list when I eventually get around to traveling. As others have said you’re better than I am – if I want it then I won’t resist chocolate very well.
