Writer Steven Harper Piziks, a fellow member of BVC, is running a contest. I have lots of fun little stories about chocolate, but nothing overwhelming enough to win a contest. So -- you go!

It's summer! Time to indulge! Indulge in lazy afternoons. Indulge in luscious summer reading. Indulge in yummy treats. Like chocolate.
To celebrate summer, chocolate, and the release of the Silent Empire books on the Kindle, I'm holding the Chocolate Covered Kindle Contest.
To enter:
1. Post your favorite true anecdote involving chocolate.
2. The anecdote can be sensual, romantic, cute, heart-tugging, funny, anything you like--but it must be true. (No sex stories, please! That's a contest of a different kind.)
3. Entries will be judged on how interesting they are and how full of chocolaty goodness they are.
4. Deadline is Tuesday, June 30 at 5:00 p.m.
5. The winner will receive an autographed copy of a Silent Empire book of his or her choice--and a bar of delicious chocolate.
As an example: When Aran was three, I baked a batch of chocolate brownies and put them on the counter to cool. Aran looked at them longingly, but I told him they were too hot to eat yet, so he shouldn't touch them. Then I took him out into the back yard, where I had yard work to finish. A few minutes later, I heard Aran crying inside the house. I ran inside and found him in the kitchen wearing a pair of oven mitts. The mitts and his face were smeared with chocolate. He had snuck back into the house, but he remembered that the brownies were too hot, so he put on the oven mitts. But then he discovered he couldn't get at the brownies with his hands covered. I felt awful--I didn't know how much the brownies meant to him. I cut him one and gave him a fork, and he was so very happy. [This falls into the "cute" category.]
What can you share with us?
And be sure to check out DREAMER http://www.amazon.com/Dreamer-Novel-Silent-Empire/dp/B002DML10G and NIGHTMARE www.amazon.com/dp/B002ECF1R4 on the Kindle. TRICKSTER and OFFSPRING are coming soon!

Turns out Amazon has a bewilderingly complex way of determining how many downloads are allowed on a given book. Some can be downloaded twice....some numerous times, but only to six devices at one time. Some books, when you reach the limit, you can't transfer to a new Iphone or computer or Kindle. Some, you contact Amazon, and they will release the old device and replace it with the new device's code.
And there is currently no way to know what the policy is for the book you just downloaded.
This is not a bug -- it is a fire ant nest. Hope they get cracking on this soon! Obviously they aren't telling Customer Service what to do.

Let me know if the link is wonky -- I apparently disabled Preview in an earlier fit of paranoia about viruses and trojans.

Has anyone licensed a novel to Amazon for Kindle? If so, would you be willing to tell me how your negotiations went, and how you settled the royalty business? As always with Amazon, they seem to want the lion's share, and if I'm lucky there will be crumbs left.
Off-journal is fine.
