Contest on Plotmonkeys

Author Julie Leto's new novel, Phantom Pleasures, is soon to be released.   To celebrate, she's hosting a contest on Plot Monkeys.  ( www.plotmonkeys.com )  For the next seven days, starting today, she will post an excerpt from her book.   You are invited to stop by, read, and leave a comment.   She will choose one person from the list of comments each day to receive a #20 Borders/Amazon gift card.   That's seven gift cards! (So glad that B.S. in Accounting hasn't gone to waste!)

I stopped by to read the first excerpt.   It's a mix of contemporary and historical with a heavy dose of paranormal and a good dose of heat.   This won't be for everyone, but I'm hooked.

Julie is a member of TARA, and she's a sharp and funny woman.   I'm looking forward to reading all of Phantom Pleasures myself.

Six unimportant things about me:

1. I own a ball python named Medusa.

2. I accompanied choir on the piano in high school.

3. I earned the nickname River Rat when I fell into the stream a few times at camp.

4. I've only been out of the country once -- a day trip to Nogales, Mexico.

5. When I was little, my friend Cindy and I used to climb tangerine trees and pretend we were stewardesses. Our favorite passengers were Davy Jones and David Cassidy.

6. I could recite the entire text of A Visit from St. Nicholas at age four.
