Janelle’s Jungle Madness Giveaway Contest!
Since I’m still in the Valentine’s mood, today I’m giving away TWO prizes to TWO lucky winners!!! Whoo-hoo! ![]()
Today’s two winners will receive a fun heat-activated mug that says “Coffee, Chocolate, Men . . . ” and when you put hot liquid in it the brown circle fades away to reveal the second part of the saying “Some things are just better when they’re rich“.
Winners will also receive a box of Harry and David’s strawberry chocolates. Since I ate a box of these myself, I can attest to how fabulous they taste! Oh, and of course each winner will be able to select one of my backlist books (depending on availability).
All you have to do to enter today’s contest is post a comment below, then check back on Sunday to see if you’re one of this week’s winner!





Oh I love the mug LOL.
It’s supposed to warm up this weekend, maybe melt is godawful snow. Hope everyone stays safe and warm and dry.

Comment by Barbara — February 22, 2008 @ 9:31 am
Does everyone out there know how much I hate snow?? Actually, the first snow of the season is absolutely beautiful, but after that, its just a pain. Hello, my name is Barbara-Jo, I live in Massachusetts and it’s snowing. Again! (Good excuse to curl up with a good book - I think I might know a few good authors!) Have a great weekend everyone.
Comment by Barbara-Jo — February 22, 2008 @ 9:31 am
Thanks for yesterday’s post on the status of TV shows. I was a bit troubled by Women’s Murder Club. I was hoping it would get a decent following.
The prize package is great. My husband liked the coffee mug.
Well, we’re snowed in and I have to go and find exciting activities for me and the toddler!
Comment by ThatBrunette — February 22, 2008 @ 9:32 am

Luv the cup!!! Where did you find it?
And have you decided something on the name of the new book? I’ve been reading your posts at your myspace and I haven’t seen anything related to it yet… The ‘Drive Me Wilde’ sounds promising, lol… I was reading some article and I saw a word that sounded promising too… Bewildering… or something like Taming a Wilde, To Tame a Wilde… well, just some ideas in case you haven’t decided yet, lol
See ya!!!
