YA Scavenger Hunt Spring 2016

YASH_TeamSilver
Welcome to YA Scavenger Hunt! This bi-annual event was first organized by author Colleen Houck as a way to give readers a chance to gain access to exclusive bonus material from their favorite authors…and a chance to win some awesome prizes! At this hunt, you not only get access to exclusive content from each author, you also get a clue for the hunt. Add up the clues, and you can enter for our prize—one lucky winner will receive one book from each author on the hunt in my team! But play fast: this contest (and all the exclusive bonus material) will only be online for 72 hours!

Go to the YA Scavenger Hunt page to find out all about the hunt. There are nine contests going on simultaneously, and you can enter one or all! I am a part of the SILVER TEAM—but there is also a blue, gold, green, orange, pink, purple, red, and teal team for a chance to win a whole different set of books!

If you’d like to find out more about the hunt, see links to all the authors participating, and see the full list of prizes up for grabs, go to the YA Scavenger Hunt page.

SCAVENGER HUNT POST

Eliza TiltonToday, I am hosting Eliza Tilton on my website for the YA Scavenger Hunt! I didn’t know Eliza prior to the YA Scavenger Hunt but she’s very nice and helped me not once, not twice, but THREE times in trying to figure out how this scavenger hunt works. As a thank you, you should totally check her out! (In a non-creepy way, of course.)

Eliza graduated from Dowling College with a BA in Visual Communications. (That’s what I studied too!) When she’s not arguing with excel at her day job, or playing Dragon Age 2, again, she’s writing. Her stories hold a bit of the fantastical and there’s always a romance. Her YA Fantasy series, THE DAATH CHRONICLES, is published by Curiosity Quills Press.

Find out more information by checking out her website or find more about Eliza’s book here!

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT

Soul-Spark-

Dealing with the loss of her mother, seventeen-year-old Jessica Stone tries to find an escape from pain by secretly medicating herself with Xanax, but the anxiety increases, crushing her and her grades.

If someone wanted to know what my heart looked like on paper Soulspark is that book. One of those stories you write because you have to, not because of trends or publication goals.

Many things inspired this book: my love of fast cars, the town I grew up in, fluffy cats, good boys and bad girls. This board has teasers from the book, along with pictures that remind me of the people, places and moments.

I hope you find your own inspiration. Create a board on home, fashion, even exercise. Pinterest is that one place where you can explore and imagine.

Follow Eliza’s board Inspiration board for the novel Soulspark on Pinterest.

And don’t forget to enter the contest for a chance to win a ton of signed books by me, Eliza, and more! To enter, you need to know that my favorite number is THREE. Add up all the favorite numbers of the authors on the SILVER team and you’ll have all the secret code to enter for the grand prize!

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL

You can enter to win a signed copy of FLICKER here on my site!
