I Love a Good Party!
Before I get started, Carly and Leslie asked me to post the winners of their Monday & Tuesday contests.
So, without any more delay (drumroll… )
The winners of Carly’s HOT PROPERTY ARCs from Monday are:
# 7, Kim W
# 46, Maureen

CONGRATULATIONS And thanks for visiting the jungle!
And the winners of Leslie’s SLOW HANDS and an ARC of HEATED RUSH from Tuesday are:
# 77, ERIN
# 41, COLLEEN
Please email Leslie at author @ lesliekelly . com with your full name and mailing addresses. And CONGRATULATIONS!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I think it’s pretty obvious, if you’ve been following the blogs, that we Plotmonkeys love a good party. Surprisingly, we’re all introverts (well, maybe not Leslie :smile
, who just like getting out every once and a while and having a good time. Truth of the matter is, writing is very solitary. It’s pretty much just you and your keyboard and your make-believe characters for most of the day. Yes, there are children and car lines and garbage men (ha!) and contractors from time to time, but all in all, writing is very lonely.
Well, it was…until we started Plotmonkeys two years ago!
Now my day is a constant stream of messages from names I recognize and names I know I’ll recognize soon enough as the emails that contain the comments from the daily blog pop into my Inbox. Even if I can’t respond to each and every one, all four of us read every single comment. It fills our days with people who are out there living lives like we are, enjoying the things we enjoy, hating the things we hate, sharing our vices and our dreams and most of all…our BOOKS.
It’s funny. When we conceived this idea two and a half years ago in Orlando (while staying at Disney, which is still the Happiest Place on Earth), I don’t think any of us had any idea how we’d grow. Our first month, about 200 people visited the site daily. Less than that, actually. 150. Now, we have a regular stream of over 800 visitors! Not everyone comments (clearly!) and not everyone reads the posts on the day they go up. I know one reader who does all her surfing on Saturday, reading our Guest Blog and then backtracking and reading the blogs from the entire week. We don’t care how you visit, so long as you visit!
We only made a few promises to ourselves when we started this blog. First, we wanted the Jungle to be a fun and exciting place. No negativity, no controversy. There are lots of blogs that do that WAY better than we ever could. Second, we promised new content every single day. We wanted reasons for people to come back. Third, we wanted to not only promote our own books, but talk about books and reading, because we wanted to attract visitors who had that one very major thing in common with us–our love of books. The fact that we’ve continued to fulfill those promises for all this time is a great source of pride for me. For all of us. We hope for you, too, because we couldn’t have accomplished what we have without the COMMUNITY that is the jungle.
Now it’s time for my excerpt…and although you may be entirely SICK of this book, I’m posting the very next scene of PHANTOM PLEASURES, because hey, it’s still in the stores and for some crazy reason, some of you might not have bought your copy yet! This scene comes right after the one that is posted at my website (which comes right after the seven excerpts I posted here at Plotmonkeys two weeks ago.)
As for my contest, I’m offering two bound galleys of PHANTOM’S TOUCH, the next book in the Phantom series! They won’t be ready for another month or so, but I’m going to address the envelopes and the minute I have galleys, I will bind them and ship them off to you. Just post a comment!
Enjoy!
—————————–
Damon knew he shouldn’t laugh at her, but to survive the excruciating agony of having his shoulder dislodged, he’d take what jollies he could. A thousand colors swirled in his eyes, each more sickeningly bright than the last. His skin burned. The act of breathing scorched the inside of his lungs.
Unfortunately, laughter hurt nearly as much as being thrown fifty feet by a wild bolt of lightning. He remained conscious by focusing on how Alexa had been so sure of herself, issuing threats as if her paper deed to this castle somehow gave her true ownership. She would learn. The rights and title of this structure belonged only to Lord Rogan and his evil magic.
He’d learned that the hard way himself, hadn’t he?
“Shut up,” Alexa ordered, the strange, wide-barreled gun aimed accurately at his midsection.
Perhaps she should shoot him. Maybe with a gaping hole in his belly, he could forget about the torturous separation of his shoulder from its socket.
“You’re trapped,” he coughed out. “This magic won’t release you. Not until it is ready.”
“When will that be?”
He shook his head, trying to remain conscious even as his vision blurred and his instinct for breathing faltered under the increased pain of his inhalations.
“Your shoulder is dislocated.”
He managed a nod. Damned horse-riding accident. Since being thrown by a skittish mare at age thirteen, he’d suffered this residual condition more than once. His brother, Aiden, had become incredibly adept at popping the joint back into place. But what could a wisp of a woman like Alexa do except shoot him and put him out of his misery?
She tossed her pack to the ground and threw the gun atop it. “Give me your hand.”
“What?”
She held out both of her hands to him, palms up. “Give me your hand. Trust me. I know what I’m doing.”
“A moment ago, you threatened murder,” he reminded her, trying to squelch the agony in his voice. What he wouldn’t do right now for a shot of brandy. Hell, a whole bottle.
Her scowl faltered, revealing a flash of a grin. “I reserve the right to shoot you later if you piss me off again. Now give me your hand.”
With no other immediate options at his disposal, Damon complied. Perhaps he had acted too hastily in accusing her of somehow procuring Sarina’s necklace through evil means. He had been the last person to possess the chain and charm. While he was certain the jewelry had not come into Alexa’s ownership coincidentally, he’d had no real cause to accuse her of witchcraft. Not when he was the one who controlled the magic.
“Wait,” he said, just as she was lifting her foot against his chest to use as leverage in what he anticipated to be the horribly painful way of restoring his shoulder.
She nearly stumbled. “I said you can trust me.”
He nodded. “I know. I just…want to try. Shoulder, heal.”
Since she hadn’t released his hand, he could feel the tension in her touch. And the warmth. How could he have tossed her aside so callously? He truly was a cad of the first order.
But before he could offer recompense for his callous behavior, he had to be able to think straight. Channeling all of his concentration, he called to Rogan’s magic again.
“Anything?” she asked.
Pain still throbbed through his arm, accompanied by a growing numbness that would only lead to a deeper pain. “No. Apparently, I cannot use the magic to heal myself.”
“That’s what you get for yanking that chain off my neck and calling me a witch.”
“A justified consequence,” he admitted.
“Paybacks are hell. Now, brace yourself. This isn’t going to tickle.”
With her foot pressed against his chest, she used the counterbalance of her body weight to pull his shoulder fully forward. Surprisingly, the pain did not increase, though nausea flooded his insides and turned his stomach into a roiling mess. Little by little, she rotated his arm, pushing gently until the ball of the joint slipped back into the socket. The pain spiked, then subsided to a dull ache.
“Better?” she asked.
He managed a nod. He really was a complete idiot.
“You didn’t have to help me,” he added.
“No kidding. You certainly didn’t deserve it.”
He watched her gingerly touch her hand to the back of her neck and then glance at the broken chain in her hand.
“Did I hurt you?” he asked.
“Yes.” Her eyes bored into his with venom, then quickly softened. “But it could have been worse. Are you truly certain this necklace belonged to your sister?”
She handed him back the gold chain and triangle charm and he stared at it cupped in his palm. Knowing that moving his injured arm immediately after repair wasn’t wise, he shifted the jewelry in his hand until it dangled from his fingers.
“Yes, I’m certain,” he assured her. “My father gave Sarina this necklace on her twelfth birthday. The triangle is but a corner of a hand-made star wrought by a gypsy artisan my sister admired. She wore the star daily and I found the chain, broken, and the torn charm, near this very step on the night I became trapped by Rogan’s dark magic.”
Centuries couldn’t fill the well of loss that widened every time he thought of Sarina and his failure to rescue her from a man he’d once considered a friend. Damon swallowed thickly, knowing now was neither the time nor the place to indulge regrets and sorrow. He had to reassess his situation. Proceed with more caution. His rage had nearly destroyed him–and his tentative bond with Alexa, his only link to the outside world.
Though he couldn’t seem to lock back into his cold feelings toward her. Making love to her had affected him, and not only because he’d been without a woman’s touch for so long. Alexa presented a rare combination of woman–one with wealth and breeding, and yet fearless in both her passion and her self-defense. He’d never met anyone like her and use her though he must, he had no desire to hurt her intentionally.
He handed the necklace back to her and after a second’s hesitation, she slipped it into the pocket of her slacks.
“I can’t imagine it is coincidental that you’ve come into ownership of the charm, Alexa,” he said, forcing his gaze away from where she’d placed the jewelry, thinking, but not saying, how the hiding place she’d chosen seemed hardly fitting for something of such value. “Tell me more about this brother of yours.”
In a move that seemed more instinctive than deliberate, Alexa placed a protective hand over her pocket. “Why?”
“So I can decide whether or not to kill him.”
Well, I thoroughly enjoyed reading excerpts from Phantom Pleasures,so this one promises to be just as good. would love to have it!

Congratulations to the winners! Hehe, Julie, we love reading excerpts of any kind - thanks for sharing!
Comment by limecello — April 16, 2008 @ 7:41 am
I definitely am not sick of this book. The only reason I haven’t gotten my copy yet is that the nearest book store is 20 miles from me and I had my daughter’s band concert to go to this last weekend. Then I got sick. Then my son got sick. But we’re all better now and if Phantom Pleasures is still in the stores this weekend, I’ll be getting it then.
Congratulations once again on the second anniversary!
Comment by Cheryl S. — April 16, 2008 @ 7:43 am
My copy is 3,000 miles away, awaiting my next visit home…
Comment by G — April 16, 2008 @ 8:16 am
Never ever sick of great books.. and i am dying to read Phantom Touch..I know it will be just as awesome as Phantom Pleasures… what a great two years its been.. it has really been a place for me to come when i need a laugh, or a pick me up.. and i have had alot of those days the last few weeks.. hubbys deployment date has been moved up to october and another big meeting today to discuss it again…
thanks for all the great books.. they are always at the top of my buy list… keep em coming Plot Monkeys..
Comment by Jolene — April 16, 2008 @ 8:25 am
Phantom Pleasures was AWESOME! What a great book. I couldn’t put it down. The bad thing was that when I wasn’t reading it I was thinking about reading it because I couldn’t wait to get back to it!
Have a fabulous day all and stay safe wherever you are,
Cher
Comment by Cher — April 16, 2008 @ 8:31 am
Another great excerpt. Congratulations to the winners.
Comment by Crystal B. — April 16, 2008 @ 8:36 am
NOt reading the excerpt. the book is sitting right here and now that I finished the two I borrowed from work, I can read it.
Comment by ev — April 16, 2008 @ 8:40 am
Ok, confession time…I haven’t read any of this. I didn’t want to read the excerpts each day because I knew I’d be like Cher. I’d get the book right then and then I’d either be reading it, or thinking about reading it all the time, and I really need to be writing. But I will be getting it this week and putting it on top of my tbr pile for the end of May when I have a break.
And the writing has paid off in a small way….baby steps
…I finalled in one of the contests that I’ve enetered and so now I”m polishing and sending it back today for the final round of judging (which happens to be a dream editor I would love to work with so keeping fingers crossed).
As for the jungle…you guys have created a truly special place and I’m so happy to be able to swing through here when I have a chance and see what’s going on with everyone. Thank you for being here!!

Coming here is like seeing good friends everyday. Fun, entertaining & interesting. You have all done a great job.

Comment by Virginia H. — April 16, 2008 @ 1:15 pm
I have already read Phantom Pleasures and really really loved it! I cannot wait to read the next one. You really have a way with capturing these characters and I have to say that 15 years (i think is when you got the idea) is well worth the wait!
Comment by Lori Reed — April 16, 2008 @ 1:15 pm
I picked up Phantom Pleasures the day after I passed my Master’s exam. Unfortunately, I haven’t had a chance to read it yet because of the homework for the class I’m still in for the next four weeks. Hopefully I’ll get a chance this weekend, though, as the excerpts keep reminding me how badly I want to read it. Thanks for the additional excerpt, Julie.
Congratulations to all the winners! And, congratulations to Jodie on being a finalist. Good Luck!

Comment by Nicole Price — April 16, 2008 @ 3:25 pm
Nope, not sick of you writing about PHANTOM PLEASURES. There’s nothing wrong with a little self-promotion. :-)
This emoticon appeals to me today.
I’m having fun reading the posts, and seeing what happens next on the blog. Fun blogs are, well, fun!

Wow! Thanks to everyone who has already purchased my book! And to those of you who’ve read it, thanks for all the compliments. They mean the world to me, they really do!
Jodie, which contest? Congrats!
Barbara-Jo, I’m with you…hot drink and Plotmonkeys first thing in the morning, though I admit I sometimes cheat and read the next day’s post the night before. It’s the perk of being a monkey.
Jane, there is an excerpt of PHANTOM’S TOUCH in the back of PHANTOM PLEASURES. That’s the first excerpt out there…I probably won’t post anything else until people have had a chance to read the first book. Maybe in May.
Comment by JulieLeto — April 16, 2008 @ 6:17 pm
