RomCon

What can be more exciting for an author than going to conferences and meeting the readers of their books? Going to a conference and winning a contest judged by those readers! LUCKY BREAK won the Reader's Crown Award for Best Long Contemporary at the RomCon conference in Denver this past weekend. THANK YOU to all who judged and thank you to all who read my books!

Guest Blogger Shiloh Walker

Carly here … I'm on my way to RomCon, a Romance Reader's Convention in Denver, CO today. In my place is the fantabulous SHILOH WALKER who I met on Twitter. See? Good things DO happen online. She's here to talk about writing and Pixies (send a few my way please!) and also to generously do a giveaway. So without further ado … please give a warm Jungle welcome to Shiloh!

I WANT THE PIXIES PLEASE!

First up, I want to say thanks to Carly and the rest of the plot monkeys for having me here while ...

ONE THING with CARLY PHILLIPS

Today's ONE THING feature is with Plotmonkey Carly Phillips.

We thought it was only fair if the Plotmonkeys answered the same question we pose to our guest authors, so we will each take a holiday weekend! I'm writing my own bio which is funny, but here goes: I've been published since 1999, (been writing since 1993), hit the NYT in 2002 with the KELLY RIPA pick for her TV Reading with Ripa Bookclub, and was thrust into a whole new world. One of the things I'm known for – good and bad rolled u...

And the winner is …

Thanks to everyone who voted on hair colors for me! In the end, I decided to go to a darker (shorter more layered) version of what I already had:

Someone mentioned doing the book club again for KISS ME IF YOU CAN which is in stores 7/27. If enough people are interested, we certainly can. So let me know!

Help Me

I'm standing in for Janelle today and I need you to help me pick a hair COLOR! I'm feeling VERY washed out right now … so no laughing. I used one of those online hair stylers! Which color do you like best and be honest! And DON'T go by style, LOL!

I think this is pretty close to me right now:

So ….. which hair color do you like best on me?

My Big Week

I have two – count 'em – TWO graduations in one week. Back to back. Thursday night (tonight) is middle school graduation for my youngest and Friday night (tomorrow) is high school graduation for my oldest. SNIFF!

I'm proud.

I'm excited.

I'm sad.

I'm happy.

I'm going to sit at two ceremonies – two plus hours each – back to back nights.

And because they are both girls, they each wanted hair appointments and makeup appointments before their respective big events. So I will be at the hair s...

WIFE VS HUSBAND

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.

An earlier discussion had led to an argument and

Carly's Jungle Madness

[image error] First, I should remind you that KISS ME IF YOU CAN is in stores in almost one month! 7/27 to be exact and reviews have been great.

Romantic Times Magazine gave it 4 1/2 STARS!
~ This is one of Phillips' best, a light-hearted, fast-moving plot filled with her signature quirky characters. The book also shows depth of heart, outlining some of the life choices we make that perhaps could use a second look. Great fun with a bit of insight tucked in — fans will be clamoring for this one! 4 1/2...

Write or Die. Seriously.

So I bet you all thought that today I was going to blog about my frustrations ordering iPhone 4 along with the rest of the world, right? WRONG! Because if I did, I'd just subject myself to all sorts of being made fun of (right, Julie? )? Kidding. Suffice it to say, I expressed those views on Twitter and if you missed out, it's your loss.

Today I'm going to tell you about a life changing website and program I discovered (thank you Louisa Edwards). It's called Write or Die by someone n...

The Best of Sue Sylvester – Team Glee

It's hard to compete with all the great Plotmonkey Blogs this week. We've been active! We've discussed summer TV, what we're reading, Julie's Bookclub, and now … I have to come up with a good blog to keep things rolling. [image error]

So in honor of the finale of the first season of GLEE, I bring you my favorite Sue Sylvester Quotes. (If you have to ask who Sue Sylvester is, you might want to check out your television this summer, Thursday nights, 8 PM EST when FOX will rerun season one from the...
