Jungle Madness by Carly
Happy Early Halloween!
Just because I have the first Friday giveaway of the month shouldn’t mean I can’t celebrate Halloween with all of you … so … you know the drill: post today for a chance to win GODIVA CHOCOLATE (milk chocolate covered mini pretzels drizzled with orange stringing) and this adorable cuddly black bear from Transylvania!
and your choice of book from my backlist.*
* everything subject to availablity - if Godiva sells out, I reserve the right to substitute another Godiva chocolate gift; Backlist doesn’t include Cross My Heart or Sealed with a Kiss
I love the bear!!! And omg, GODIVA, yummy!! :bat:
Oh yeah, Carly and Leslie you’ve been tagged with a meme. CL Wilson (Cheryl) tagged me along with several others and I’ve tagged you. The rules are on my blog on Thursday.
Also, I wanted to remind everyone that I’m giving away a copy of SWAK this week on the blog. Today’s the last day to leave a comment and I’ll annouce the winner on Sunday.
Happy Weekend Everyone!!
Did I say I’d love to win this bear???

Good morning Plotmonkeys!
Cute bear, Carly. I’d love a copy of a backlist book but can’t eat the chocolate. Give the chocolate to someone else and I’ll take a book.
Have a great Friday everyone,
Cher

How did you know??? I have been craving chocolate covered pretzels the past few days! Although, I am a bit worried about the bear. He looks like he could use a good set of glasses. Is there not a good optometrist in the
Transylvanian bear community?
Comment by ThatBrunette — October 5, 2007 @ 8:07 am
The Bear is toooo cute, and a gift of Godiva. Yummy.
Everyone have a wonderful weekend.
Everyone is home this weekend for my b-day on sunday.

That bear is adorable. My brothers have called me Bear since I was a little kid, it’s even on my license plate. Would love to have him to add to my collection, and chocolates and a good book with a hot cup of tea, sounds heavenly.
Everyone have a great weekend, I’m off to Michigan for a wedding. Catch you all on Monday.
Take Care all and Have a Good Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by tyne — October 5, 2007 @ 10:37 am
woof woof to everybody from Maine,
Mom took a morning folliage walk and is now resting so Zoey and I decided to post. We aren’t allowed chocoilate beibg dogs and all but
Pinker Digger is all about that handsome hunkie bad boy.
We are actually on our own form of book promotion this week.
Certainly we can not claim to have anything to do with Carly’s New York
BEST SELLER success. We are having a heck of a good time traveling
Maine and taking pictures while gathering up country folks a gawking
and questioning, “Why are you taking pictures of that stuffed dog?”
“That Dog?” the nerve Zoey keeps telling me how adorable I am.
Once they know what we are doing most laugh and walk away then there
are always a few stick in the muds. But not too many lucky for us.
Anyway Zoey and I think Ollie should make the tour next year.
We will gladly draw attention to a good book anyday. Remember
Paddinton Bear? Why he traveled the world. We could start a whole new
form of book promotion. Well I promised Zoey we’d go play in the colorful fallen leaves, so we have to go now. Zoey goes crazy in the leaves while I watch from the protection of the infamous plastic bag. That’s right!
Mommy has a thing about my getting dirty so I pretty much travel in a
gallon zip lock bag. And Yes it has holes so I am clean but ready to go any where to promo ‘Sealed With a Kiss and “Cross Your Heart”

What an adorable prize! Have a great weekend everyone! I am excited about mine. We are heading to my family’s home to celebrate my birthday which is on Monday and tomorrow we are having a party for our baby girl who is turning one years old on October 10th. I can’t believe my baby is going to be one already. She was born two days after my own birthday so I call her my belated birthday girl.
Comment by Cherie J — October 5, 2007 @ 10:53 am
Sorry, I meant belated birthday gift.
Comment by Cherie J — October 5, 2007 @ 10:55 am
What a wonderful prize package. A cute bear (which I collect), some great chocolate and an interesting book. Sounds like all the things one needs for a cozy fall afternoon.
Have a great weekend everyone. Go Bucks

Wow what a cutie ( and getting a book too!!) but unfortunately due to an allergy to oranges I couldn’t have the chocolate - however if I am lucky enough to win theprize I am sure my daughter would like the chocolate a(nd I might even get to keep the bear after she has seen him) LOL

Carly, don’t count this for the contest…you don’t have to consider me for this weeks prize…it is a nice gift package though…
Wow, the month sure did fly by…
Well, I have this weekend off and some books to read…
Julie, I started Witchy Business and it is a quick read…I was very tempted to stay up and finish it, but I am getting over being sick, so I chose the rest route…what was the title of the book that discussed how Regina fell in love with Brock and almost died? Was it one of the Bad Girl’s Club books? I want to buy that one too because the backstory interests me…
Carly and Leslie, I started both your books today…Amazon package finally came…too late for the contest, but it doesn’t bother me…I still get to find out all about cannolis…I had double copies of the book, so I gave the other set to a friend of mine…she’s Italian and I told her she would love the “famous” cannoli scene…me devil, yep…
Janelle, your book came with the Amazon package too, but I still need to get the other Wilde’s before I start my marathon reading of that series…I know I could read them independently of each one another, but I won’t be able to…psychology block…
I am so glad that it is Friday…I might go to NYC this weekend to see my fam…Have a wonderful weekend all…
Peace and love,

Have a great weekend everyone, wherever you are and whatever you are doing!

which is nasty.Congrads on the book making best seller list 
OMG Carly you read my mind. :pray: I have hunted everywhere here for chocolate covered pretzels with no luck.Only kind I can find is white chocolate
Comment by nancy — October 5, 2007 @ 4:32 pm
Hey, Paula. Hope you’re feeling better soon!
Actually, I never wrote Regina and Brock’s backstory. You see their “break up” (so to speak…no spoilers here!) but I never show the relationship. The Bad Girls Club book was Regina’s sister, Lilith. In the next St. Lyon Witches story (out next year), you’ll see Regina and Brock still together, but I still don’t get to tell the story of their romance. I really couldn’t because…well, it wouldn’t have had a very happy ending, would it? :giggle:
Comment by Julie Leto — October 5, 2007 @ 4:40 pm
That is just the cutest little bear! AND chocolate! What a terrific prize!
Comment by Christy H. — October 5, 2007 @ 4:51 pm

Comment by Ladytink_534 — October 5, 2007 @ 8:10 pm
thank god it’s friday. So far this week we set up two calendar kiosks in the mall- the one on wed morning in less than 4 hours and that included sorting 245 boxes of the buggers.
then yesterday when I opened it up, and plugged in the lights one of them started a fire. Including flames. Up the side of the kiosk.
Chocolate would be good right about now.
Comment by ev — October 5, 2007 @ 8:16 pm
Hey Julie, I got what you were saying…it definitely wouldn’t have been a happy ending…was just curious, but I get the picture as I continue reading WB…
Leslie, finished Overexposed and the cannoli scene was well worth the wait…loved it, loved it, loved it…figured the connecting scene between your book and Janelle’s too…didn’t even read hers yet…Wow…You can write girl…I can’t wait for the next Santori addition…gotta get the rest of the books though…my “to buy” pile is getting bigger every day…I love the Santori men…just wanted to drop by and tell you how I felt…btw…I will never think of a cannoli the same way again…still haven’t tried one yet…
Peace and love,
