Friday Jungle Madness Contest!
Since today is the 5th Friday of the month, that means a joint Plotmonkey contest for all of you to enjoy! 
So, today we’re giving away to one lucky winner a $25.00 gift certificate to either Amazon.com or Barnes&Noble.com (winners choice!). Winner will also be able to choose one autographed book from each Plotmonkey’s 
backlist of books — 4 books in all! (Book chosen depends on availability. Sorry, but no just released September or October books can be chosen — BACKLIST only! 
).
Most of you know the drill! All you have to do to enter today’s contest is post anything below, then check back on Sunday to see if you’re the winner! 
I hope everyone enjoys the holiday weekend.

Comment by Ardie — August 31, 2007 @ 11:35 am
First of all, I wanted to thank all of the plotmonkey community for the hugs yesterday. My meeting was regarding my oldest son (who has autism) with our district (nothing like a last minute meeting before school starts on Tuesday!). It’s nice knowing that people are sending good thoughts my way….The meeting went well and issues resolved in a pleasant manner….yey!!!! So, life is awesome in my world again!
Have a safe and happy weekend everyone….
Comment by katie — August 31, 2007 @ 11:46 am
Woohoo - great contest!
Have a wonderful labor day weekend everyone. I’m looking forward to laying on the beach and doing some reading. Okay - in reality I will chase my 2 year old around at the beach
but he’s fun to chase - I’ll save the reading for tomorrow afternoon while he naps and his older brother is off with Daddy for the opening day of dove season.
Comment by Crystal F. — August 31, 2007 @ 11:53 am
Wishing you all a fun and safe holiday weekend. I get to watch my son compete in a couple of bike races, which is always fun, but I am not looking forward to standing around in 100+ weather.

Although some of them, like my daughter in University, are actually looking forward to it! 
I guess she feels that school really is easier than work, lol! I hope that everyone has a safe and very, very happy Labour Day weekend!
