Title Contest and Giveaway!

The Contest is Closed!  Thank you so much to everyone who participated.  Check your inboxes to see if you've won! 

I have always struggled with thinking of titles for my books.  Sometimes they come to me, but a lot of the time I hop between idea after idea until something finally sticks.  Too many of my titles are desperate and last minute.  I have been trying for weeks to come up with a title for the short story I have been very tentatively calling Lynden Leaves.  Instead of continuing to ineffectively fight with it, I'm opening it up to all of you with some fun prizes for incentive! 

Lynden Leaves is a short story I've written for Riptide Publishing's BDSM Erotic Shorts Anthology Call.  The story is focused on the letter B.  Here's my working summary:

• 
      Lynden likes to be tied up and he likes to be watched.  Those are his two major kinks.  As a prospective U.S. Senator, those kinks have to remain firmly in the closet.  He gets enough flack from his detractors about being openly gay.  Lynden's childhood friend Terrance offers him a place to go where he can remain anonymous while still getting his thrill, but things quickly go south when Terrance's other extracurricular activities are raided by police and Lynden is caught hanging, literally, in the middle of the investigation. 
      The hot officer who cuts him down could very easily ruin Lynden's political career.  Zachary Tate is a young, by the books officer who isn't willing to fudge a case on Lynden's behalf.  Luckily, Lynden knows how to seduce a man to his side, he's a politician after all, and if the seducing should lead to some time between the sheets then all the better. 
  

I need a title before I can submit it, which is where you come in! 

What I'm Looking For:

1. A title that fits with the general theme and with my story, but please keep it PG-13.  If you post something purposefully silly like Mr. Snappypants Goes Fishing, I will automatically delete your post.
2. Length doesn't matter as long as it's a good title.  
3. Something unique or catchy would work best, but I'm open to any suggestion.
   

Here's what you have to do:

1. Comment on this post with your top three title options.  Please number them or otherwise make each separate title distinct. 
   
   • I would prefer if you could write all your titles in one post, but if you only come up with two now and think of a third later please indicate in your later post that you've stopped by before. 
   • If you can only think of one title, that's fine too!  I'm happy you stopped by and you'll still be entered into the giveaway!  
   • If two people offer the same wonderful title, the person who posted first will win. 
2. Include your email address in the provided address line or leave me some other way to contact you.  

What You Win:

1. Every single person who offers a title suggestion will be eligible to win one ebook in their preferred format from my back list.
   
   • The Winner will be chosen on June 1, 2014 via random.org and will have forty eight hours to respond to my congratulatory email before someone else is chosen. 
   • Anyone who likes Mell Eight on Facebook or Goodreads, follows me on Twitter or Tumblr, and retweets, shares, or likes any post about this contest will receive one extra entry per activity.  If you promote this on your personal blog, send me a link and that will also count.  Please post your title suggestions here first so I know to take notice of your extra entries!  
2. The person whose title I choose will also win their choice of any ebook from my back list in their preferred format.  In addition, they will receive a free ebook in their preferred format of (newly retitled) Lynden Leaves if and when it is released by any publisher.  Their name will also appear in the dedications page if the publisher allows that. 
   
   • The winner will be chosen on June 1, 2014.  I will decide based on my favorite title suggestion. 
     
   • An announcement of the winner will be posted on all the media sites listed above and I will send a congratulatory email.  The winner will have until June 15, 2014 to respond.  I reserve the right to use the winning title without providing the winnings should the winner not respond before then.  
   • Prizes are subject to the whim of the publisher.  I am hoping Riptide Publishing will accept this submission, but since I've never worked with them before I do not know their policy on gifting ebooks or dedications pages.  Should either of those two prizes become unavailable, the winner will have the opportunity to choose another ebook of their choice from my back list instead.  
3. Legal Stuff
   
   • By entering this contest you are affirming that: you are 18 years of age, are eligible to receive these prizes in your country of origin, and you agree to hold Mell Eight harmless of any issues or problems that arise from you or I due to your participation in or your winning of this contest.
   • Should Riptide Publishing not accept Lynden Leaves, I will submit to other publishers and otherwise do my utmost to ensure a published ebook will eventually become available to the winner.  
   • The publishing process can take months.  It is the responsibility of the winner to inform me if your contact information changes during that time.  I take zero responsibility if I can't get in contact with you to give you Lynden Leaves when it's finally released.
     

Thank you so much to everyone for your help!
