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.

No shopping for me! That’s what Christmas Eve is for.
I’m going to hibernate and write/edit/revise this weekend. I might still make my NaNoWriMo goal and still get FAERIE FIRE edited, too. I’d love to get it in before deadline.
Have a great weekend, jungle buddies! (Though I will have to sneak in and visit tomorrow!) Back to work!

Comment
Thank You! Now My Friday Is Not So Black
Or Maybe Broke!!!!
Comment
Shopping, how fun! No Black Friday shopping for me! I can’t think of anything I want or need bad enough to be shopping at 4 or 5 am in the morning!! Maybe it is just a part of getting older!!
Half my Christmas shopping is done & the other half will be easy. I do enjoy seeing things all lit up for Christmas, the decorations are always fun to see the first couple of times, after that I get tired of all the commercial hype. All that said I do love the Christmas season. Whoops! Didn’t mean to get carried away.
I am about to go have my favorite day after Thanksgiving breakfast, pumpkin pie with whip cream & a cup of good coffee. Yummy, Yummy!! I hope everyone had a wonderful day yesterday, enjoy the rest of the weekend.
:fallleaf:
P.S. I am going to get out some of my Christmas music to play!!!
Comment
Fabulous prize. Have a great weekend everyone.
Comment
I need that gift card! Pick me!
I won’t be anywhere near a shopping mall today. I hate crowds especially during flu season.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! :jive:

I don’t shop on days that everyone is, because I don’t like big crowds. For some reason, people like running over me. LOL

This would definitely be my kind of shopping. I hate crowds. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
Comment
Black Friday… so many people going shopping today!
Thanks for the contest!
Comment
I stayed inside all day and worked on my blog. No shopping here. My MIL went out at 5 am to look for the Zhu Zhu pet my daughter asked Santa for but to no avail. Since I live in the crazy driving capitol of the world I decided to avoid shopping this whole weekend. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving yesterday and for those that shop- may the force be with you!
Comment
Oh me, I can’t imagine even trying to go shopping today. . . though someone here did have to go to the supermarket. LOL But I couldn’t go out even if I wanted to, got sick this week, bit of infection in the old lungs.
But anyway, add me to the hat this week! :)

Amazon Gift Cards are always well received. We don’t have Black Friday here, but from all accounts it sounds very similar to the sales that occur on Boxing Day (Dec 26).
Comment
I could definitely use an Amazon gift card this holiday season. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Comment
Black Friday or not, a day above ground is a good day. There are many people who’d love to be here to see the day no matter what colour it is.
Happy day!

Comment
After last year’s Black Friday shopping…I decided to stay clear of the stores this year :)….. a person can only take so many shopping carts to the back :) This prize would be great to put towards my Christmas shopping…plus free shipping after $25 :) Thanks!
Comment
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! Really hoping to catch up on my sleep at some point today. Black Friday was way too crazy for me, but we pretty much finished up all of my sister’s shopping.
Comment
Please count me in! I love shopping!
Comment
Between Amazon and QVC, I think I have most of my Christmas shopping done. :jive: I have my eye on something at Amazon for me, so the gc would be very handy.
The Black Friday here was fairly quiet unless you got up at the crack of dawn. I went into Staples at 7:30 and it was practically deserted. 
Ecomony is still bad around here.
Comment
woot, a wonderful prize to use in so many different ways; thanks.

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I did go shopping on Black Friday and it was crazy, but we did have fun while we were doing it…we all went…my sister, sister in law, two of my daughters and two of my sons.
Great prize!!
Comment
I’d rather do my shopping online than fight the crowds. The Amazon gift certificate would fit right into that plan.
Comment
I survived Black Friday and finished my Christmas shopping, it was a miracle!
