Friday’s Winner and a Sunday Funny!
For Friday’s contest 
Paula R. (Comment #36)
CONGRATULATIONS, Paula! Please contact me at janelledenison@sbcglobal.net with your mailing address. You need to let me know if you want your $25.00 gift certificate to Amazon.com or BN.com. You also get 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! ). You can check out each author’s website to see what books are in their backlist.
And now for the Sunday funny:
HOW TO CALL THE POLICE AND GET A QUICK RESPONSE.
George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi was going up to bed when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window.
George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things. He phoned the police who asked “Is someone in your house?” and he said “no”. Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available.
George said, “Okay,” hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again. “Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now ’cause I’ve just shot them all.” Then he hung up.
Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips residence and they caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the Policemen said to George: “I thought you said that you’d shot them!”
George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”
**Apparently this is a true story!**
LOLOL. GREAT story, Janelle.
Congratulations Paula!
I’m sorry I’ve been unavailable lately … honestly life’s been crazy. Tune in tomorrow to find out why …

In real life, I’m sure the guy would have been charged with “filing a false police report” or something.
Congrats, Paula!

Congrats Paula!
I’m jealous
Our Leslie Kelly is one
of romance writing’s pros
Her September release
is titled “OVEREXPOSED”
It’s sizzling and sexy
as you’ll certainly see
There’s even a scene
That re-defines Canolli
So go buy “overexposed”
it’s a great romantic read
Let’s let our Leslie Kelly know
She writes just what we need
I am trying to overexpose…OVEREXPOSED
Love you
PLOT

Comment by Jodie — September 2, 2007 @ 7:58 pm
Awww, Jeannie, thanks, I definitely appreciate the hug! Been nursing a very sick little 11 year old today…poor baby!
And yes, 3 books out in the past 2 months. Crazy schedule. But I have a big gap now.
Thanks again, so much, for “overexposing” Overexposed!!
Comment by Leslie — September 2, 2007 @ 8:40 pm
Leslie…I bought that one today along with a book by Carly and Janelle and Julie with my gift certificate…I can’t wait to dive into those…who else would I use the gift cerficate for? LOL, you guys are the best…
I hope that your 11 year old feels better soon…
Carly, I can’t wait to hear your story about why you have been absent…I must say that I am learning a lot about romance and romancing from your books lady…did I tell you that Body Heat burned my hands? Well, I had to stop a couple of times…girl, you can write some sizzling scenes…
Jodie my birthday was this week and it has been the best…still celebrating…it ends tomorrow with lunch, movie and dessert…I can’t wait…I am still in a daze…
Jeannie and Zoey (I see you have a new name now…lol) the poem you wrote for Leslie was cute…she is a great writer as are all her plotmonkey buddies…Julie started it for me…my aunt left What’s Your Pleasure at my mom’s place in Brooklyn, NY and I picked it up…I have been hooked since then…did some research and found the rest of the plotmonkeys…I am so glad I did…
Before I sign off, I want to thank you all for the congratulations…I hope that the weekend was pleasurable and relaxing…I will talk to you all again tomorrow…
Peace and love,
Paula

Leslie,
I finished overexposed earlier today. It’s a wonderful story.
Wow with the cannoli. I really liked Nick and Cookie
I was thrilled to see your note about the new book coming in January 08.
Gloria and Tony oh yeah. A bunch of females from overexposed too.
I really have grown to love these Santori storys. Thanks
I also have the first half of the puzzle.
