Want Some Chocolate? Read On...

Submitted by Samantha Hunter on Mon, 2008-06-16 13:29.

We went to Chicago last weekend for a quick anniversary trip, a little pre-summer vacation, and that's well timed as my first Blaze anthology story, "No Reservations," in the What I Did For My Summer Vacation collection is currently available online and will be in stores soon. However, had I known one fact about Chicago ahead of time, I may very well have set my summer Blaze there, and this is why:
One of the things I discovered (in addition to the fact that I may have to split my baseball loyalty between the Red Sox and the White Sox), is that Chicago is the chocolate center of the US. I haven't fact-checked on this, so forgive me, but a food tour guide we had told us that Chicago has more chocolate shops than any other city in the US. I was kind of shocked, until I looked around, and realized there were at least 6 of them (maybe more) w/in 4 mile tour we took.

I enjoyed the discussion so much and wanted to send something fun to everyone, but obviously, I haven't won the lottery yet, but I put everyone in a bowl, writers included (seems like writers never get included in contests, and I think I want to change that, since you guys are readers, too, and buy books like everyone else, and you took the time to come by and comment -- so everyone's names went in the bowl, well, except for my Cigars pals - sorry gals! LOL), so.... here are the winners of a copy of my July Anthology What I Did For Summer Vacation, and a Vosges designer chocolate bar:
