I have once again been looking around and realizing I have WAY too much stuff in my house. So for this week’s Jungle Madness giveaway, I am going to share a big mystery box with the winner.
I can tell you it will contain books–paperbacks and hard-covers, romance and non, my books and other people’s. It will also contain monkey stuff, funny stuff, maybe a little bit of naughty stuff. Not really sure yet.
Brave enough to enter? Just leave a comment…
Happy Friday!
Also, for Julie’s Wednesday contest for a copy of DEEP KISS OF WINTER by Kresley Cole and Gena Showalter, the winner is:
#75 Aleksandra Ignatowicz!
Please drop Julie an email at (julie at julie leto dot com) and she’ll get your name to Gena right away!
EDITED TO ADD: Here are the winners of the Hank Phillipi Ryan contest…
Cate Masters
Cher Gorman
Mari Elle
Caroline
That Brunette
Send Julie an email and she’ll forward to Hank! Thanks!



Leslie Kelly used to say she wanted to be a doctor when she grew up, but then she discovered Nancy Drew books. Being a flashlight-under-the-covers-nose-in-book reader throughout her childhood, she couldn’t think of anything else she’d rather do as an adult than continue to lose herself in fictional stories. Her real life marriage of 20 years to the man of her dreams is a constant reinforcement that happily-ever-afters really can happen…and that they’re worth writing about. Living in Maryland, Leslie spends her non-writing time laughing a lot with the above-mentioned romance hero and their three daughters. Though an author of more than thirty sexy, contemporary comedies, she has recently branched out to write dark romantic suspense under the pseudonym Leslie Parrish.

In other news…I just realized that I really need to get my keister moving and start an exercise regime :*&#!: :*&#!: I’m serious!!! Keep those fingers crossed for me…
For now…ciao…
The next time we speak…I hope it goes something like this….

I sure am brave enough to take a chance with a box of books and surprises!!! Once I entered a contest, prize was something for Halloween…how bad could it be!!! Well, it was a set of the most ugliest purple plastic goblets with plastic dragons and spiders crawling all over the globe!!!! They were pretty bad! So, I’ll take a chance with your box of books and whatever else could be in there!!!!

I’d love to play please!
