To celebrate the March, 2009 release of Mom Needs Chocolate: Hugs, Humor and Hope for Surviving Motherhood (Regal Books), I'm excited to introduce the Choc-OUT Contest. All you have to do is to send me a photo of you or a family member indulging in your favorite delightfully luscious chocolate treat . . . in an unusual setting. Remember, creativity counts (but keep it clean, please)!   

Need inspiration? Be sure to check out the hilarious chocolate video (a chocolaty parody of Kelly Clarkson's "Because of You") below or on my Mom Needs Chocolate page. Guaranteed to bring a fudge-smeared smile to your face! And don't forget to preorder signed copies of Mom Needs Chocolate now for the wonderful moms in your life this Mother's Day!

Contest entries should be submitted to Gracenotes@DeboraCoty.com, Subject: Choc-OUT Contest, by the 7/29/09 deadline. A terrific prize package will be awarded, including a delicious dinner for two at the Cheesecake Factory near you, a gift basket loaded with chocolate delights, a signed copy of Mom Needs Chocolate, your photo published in my e-newsletter, and other cool surprises. The winner will be announced August 1, 2009.

I can't wait to Choc-OUT with you!
