What Julie Leto had to say on Friday, June 25th, 2010
Today’s prize: a Box of Books!
I’m cleaning out my bookshelves again. I said I’d buy all my books electronically this year, but invariably, I ended up with a bunch of print books and no more shelf room for them. They’ve been accumulating in a box in my bedroom and now they need a new home. They’re mostly romances, a lot of romantic suspense, but also contemporary, paranormal, etc. The whole she-bang!
Because of shipping costs (there are a LOT of books! I haven’t counted, but at least 15-20) I have to limit this to US addresses only. Anything that requires air freight is just too cost prohibitive…I hope you all understand!
Just post a comment to enter!
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 over forty books to four publishers featuring strong, confident women. Julie lives in Florida with her daughter, a spoiled dachshund, a haughty lynx-point Siamese and a wide range of relatives all within driving distance.

Hey Jules,GREEAAAATTTT prize!!! A box of books. I love when you do some cleaning.
I just finished 3Sn1W, and I loved Mallory and Ajay. Can’t wait for the “book club.” I really hope you get the chance to write a full story for these guys. I mean, who wouldn’t want to know what happened next? I really want to know.
Peace and love,

Good luck to everyone. Julie, count me out. I totally understand – I hate to imagine what the Kiwi and Australian authors spend when they are giving away books as prizes.
I’m trying to buy all my books as ebooks too, but I am finding this not completely possible. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re running into the same problem as me – not all the books that I want are available electronically.

Broken and weary I rest,
Oceans of boredom wash over me,
Only to drain my soul.
Keep me from my pain,
Supply words to quench my thirst.
