What Leslie had to say on Friday, July 30th, 2010
The four of us just realized today is the “5th Friday” of July, which is why there was no Jungle Madness Friday post this morning. Sorry!
We’re offering a $50 gift card to Amazon or BN.com. Just leave a comment and you’re entered!
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.

*******************************************
A 50.00 G.C. That would make for ONE WICKED WEEKEND. It would also be HARD TO HOLD for long if I won, I’d be NATURALLY NAUGHTY, and spend it all on books right away. I was always BORN TO BE WILDE. I’d have so many new books to reed I’d have to tell my husband, KISS ME IF YOU CAN. I got A LUCKY BREAK and hit A LUCKY STREAK. I would then tell him watch out I FOUND THE WILDE SIDE.
When I finished reading all my BED TIME STORIES, I’d close my eyes and let everything FADE TO BLACK. Then morning would come and I could continue reading.
Comment
That was to good!!!
Comment

I’m so busy reading Carly’s new release that I almost forgot to check in! So many wonderful releases this week and four more on my list for next Tuesday. I have a pre-order at one of our local independent shops, and BN can expect to see some of my money next week, for sure. Border’s, too! And maybe Powells, and Amazon…
Lol. This is why I keep my day-job.

I took today off because I was supposed to work the Maroon5 concert tonite, but they had enough people so I actually got a Friday off. Tomorrow night is Sting with the Royal Philharmonic

Oh the books I could buy with a $50 Amazon card! Happy weekend!

I always wondered what you should put in a post that says “leave a comment”.
It doesn’t ask anything,so should you just put something similar to what everyone else said, or come up with your own original comment?Or just for the heck of it include all the crazy smiley faces you can? 
Hmm, what to do, what to do… 
And the answer is…..Drum roll please…..

Hey there!
What a generous giveaway! I wouldn’t say no to that!
What I WOULD say no to is all the weeds I’ve been pulling lately. Should have done them in May but didn’t have the time, so now there’s tons of them. Jeesh! I’d rather be reading! (This is when I should have an audio book!)
Comment
I knew this felt like a really long month! Ah, well, here’s to reading, writing and books – and you can mix and match that order because they’re all of equal importance!
