What Janelle had to say on Friday, January 1st, 2010
HAPPY NEW YEAR, Everyone! :newyear:
With the holidays officially behind us, I decided to giveaway a $25.00 gift certificate to any on-line retailer! It’s winner’s choice as to where you’d like to spend your $25.00! You can choose from places like Amazon, Best Buy, Victoria’s Secret, iTunes, Ebay – any place at all that offers on-line gift certificates! 
Post your answer, then check back on Sunday to see who the winner is! Have fun and good luck!
Janelle Denison finds it hard to believe that it’s been nearly 25 years since she first started writing romance novels. At first, it was a way to pass idle time while her husband worked swing shift, but before long it became an obsession to get published. Luckily, she kept at it (it took her over 5 years to get that first book published!) and is now a Waldenbooks, Barnes & Noble, and USA Today Bestselling author! Now, after selling over 45 plus novels, she finds that her Plotmonkey pals help to keep her stories fresh and unique, and she can’t imagine writing a story without their input. Janelle lives in Oregon with her husband, Don, along with two teenage daughters that keep life interesting.

Just kidding. :) Have a Great New Year. I feel have been too easy this past year so I am going to be even badder in 2010.
Comment
:newyear: I would like to wish everyone a Very Healthy and Happy New Year! The old saying is whatever you spend the most of your time doing on New Years Day is what you will spend the most time on for the remainder the year. Today I spend with family and a good book. Make a little ‘me’ time for yourself today and all year long. :newyear:
I love Barnes and Noble so that is the place I would choose.

:newyear: HAPPY NEW YEARS
I am late posting, (by a day)
but I wanted to stop by and wish everyone a Happy New Year. Yesterday, my oldest daughter turned 10 years old. She was born in 1999 and I remember spending the turn of the century changing her pamper. Now she is the big 1 – O. I am going to blink and another decade will pass…scary!!!

Comment
:newyear: Happy New Year to the wonderful Plotmonkeys & all the people that read the blog everyday!
So far I’ve been doing nothing, got up & turned on the Rose Parade. Since I slept late I’m now watching a rerun to see what I missed earlier!!! One of our Bay Area stations is doing a Rose Parade Marathon they just keep replaying it all day so you don’t have to miss anything!!!
:rain: My area is starting out with rain, much needed. I’m going to finish reading Pitch Black, then pick up Black at Heart the only Plotmonkey book that I have yet to read. I’m looking forward to the new books that will come out in 2010!
Great prize Janelle to start out our year. Thanks.
