Rules and the legal junk
1) In order to be entered, you must tell us where you find each heart (including the bonus ones if you are looking for extra entries to win).
2) The scavenger hunt portion of the contest (this does NOT include the prizes provided by the authors or publishers) is open to everyone. Void where prohibited by law. Please note, if this package is lost in the mail; we will not send an addition eReader.
3) Be sure to give us your name, e-mail address and postal address in order to be entered. (We don't share addresses with anyone.) Anyone who enters without all of this information will have their entries automatically deleted.
4) Each bonus heart counts as an extra entry.
5) In the event that no one finds all 15 of the regular hearts, the people with the highest number will have their names tossed in a hat for a random drawing.
6) Authors with the most comments each day will have their names tossed into a hat and at the end of the contest, someone will receive a Featured Authors' package. (We talked about doing this. I wasn't sure if you still meant to offer this or not.)
7) Daily winners are the authors/publishers' choice (unless otherwise noted).
8) The Grand prize, eReader winner will be announced on February 14th on the front page of the site here.
