What Leslie had to say on Friday, June 11th, 2010
Money’s a little tight around here these days, so instead of offering a gift card or something with which you could buy 2-3 new books, I am instead offering FIVE books.
Take ANY FIVE books from my backlist–Kelly or Parrish. (excluding current or upcoming releases. There are a few titles I’m short on, but I should be able to accommodate requests for all but perhaps 2-3 titles)
Because of the expense of shipping, this is open to U.S. residents only.
You know what to do!
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.

). You’ll have to tell us all about it afterwards!!

Happy Friday, jungle buddies! Just dropping by to say hi as I’ve been a bit absent lately. Busy

to go with it.

Les, love this prize. Five books…wow!! I am glad I get the chance to win something I don’t already have. But, I will bow out this time, so that someone else can get the chance to win some of your fabulous books. We need to spread the love, and give someone the opportunity to experience your gift. I hope you have a great rest of the day.
Peace and love,
Paula R.

Sounds good, have a great weekend everyone!
Comment
Sometimes I really wish I was living in the US. I’m not, so good luck to everyone else.
I think that book prizes are better than gift cards, since if you enter those types of competitions you are usually a fan of that author.
Comment
Thanks, Leslie! I will take books as prizes any time!!
Happy weekend, everyone ! Stay Safe!!!

glad to see money’s tight everywhere…reminds me of a Christmas card I got one year….”Money’s Tight, Times are hard, Here’s your F’n Christmas card”. Needless to say I laughed my ass off on that one.
Leslie…and personally…I think the autographed books are much better than a gift certificate each and every day of the week…month…year
Money’s tight here too….Amber graduated last sunday with a 4.2 GPA and ranked 6 in her class. Tomorrow is her graduation party. Can we say in the poor house now? LOL. luckily her grads meant that she was accepted everywhere and believe it or not picked UMASS in our back yard…lol… But …they gave her almost a completely full ride and that was the deciding factor. She doesn’t want to come out owing more than 15,000 for all her schooling…and there she won’t…lol.
Anyway…hope all is well for everyone…

Great idea, Leslie! I decided to look in on Plotmonkeys to cheer me up (I had to give away our tickets to Brooks & Dunn tonight, my sweetie has the flu!), and as usua, you got me past my moment of pittypotwallowing. Yes, let me read five of your books! (Surprise me with the titles – I only have your books from when you lived in Melbourne, and I’m dying to read all the newest “dark-side” ones!)
