What Julie Leto had to say on Friday, July 10th, 2009
Okay, so today is supposed to be Leslie’s contest day…but she’s busy driving around Maryland, making sure her fans will be able to get signed copies of FADE TO BLACK. She called and asked if I’d switch with her…which was perfect, because now I don’t have to worry about it next week while we’re in Washington!
And in celebration of Leslie taking that load off of my mind, I’m giving away a copy of each of her BLACK CAT books!
That’s right…if you win, you will get a copy of FADE TO BLACK, PITCH BLACK and BLACK AT HEART, delivered to your door by Amazon.com. You just have to live in the continental US to enter.
Leave a comment…you know the drill!
By 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 nearly thirty books to three publishers featuring strong, confident women. Julie lives in Florida with her husband, daughter, spoiled dachshund, enormous guinea pig and a wide range of relatives all within driving distance.

Everyone seems to be talking about how hot the weather is where they are. Here in Boston, we have been cool and rainy all through June and now into July. We have a nice sunny day today and temps should move up into the 70s!

Hey there everyone!
I know that I haven’t been around for awhile, but I have been very busy getting up a new section of my author blog up and running. Starting this Saturday, Moonlight, Lace and Mayhem will be shining our spotlight on one Young Adult Author.
This week it’s Linda Dawda!
I also wanted to say thanks to Julie, Carly and Leslie for joining us at MLM because we had a blast with all of you!
I tried to contact Janelle, but I’m not sure my email ever got through because I never heard anything back…. We would love to have you Janelle!
I really need to start scheduling my Internet time so I can make sure I can stop in here. I always have such fun here!
