I have been going through a lot of books around here and really need to get rid of some…some of them brand new and unread that I’ve picked up at conferences and such, some others that I’ve read and loved and want to pass on. So today’s winner will get a box o’ surprise books. Minimum 20, nearly all romance, and some autographed. (Including a couple of mine!)
Sound good? Just leave a comment and you’re entered to win!

Carly Here! Visit me at the Harlequin Blog today! A preview/excerpt of LOVE ME IF YOU DARE is up too!



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.

I like books. Lots. LOL
Did you hear one of the main publishers of MM is going totally digital? That’s so unfair to those who don’t want to get an ereader.
Today is the first day back to work from vaca and I get to deal with my main employee who told me by email he was leaving the end of October. :*&#!:
Have a happy weekend everyone.

As much as I’d love this prize, count me out – it would cost way too much to send that number of books outside North America.
I hope that everyone has a good Friday.

Oh, how I have missed the jungle! I have been so busy enrolling the kiddos in school a sorting through so many school books that I always miss the chance to get on here.
I missed the book club for Kiss Me If You Can too. My luck a huge storm plowed through knocking out the power on the same day as the book club!
Leslie, you have a great Friday surprise! AND to include a book or two of yours is like icing on a perfect cake!
Happy Friday!
