The Winter YA Scavenger Hunt

It's the Winter YA Scavenger Hunt

Welcome to YA Scavenger Hunt! This tri-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 signed 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 Huntpage to find out all about the hunt. There are TWO contests going on simultaneously, and you can enter one or all! I am a part of the BLUE TEAM--but there is also a red team for a chance to win a whole different set of twenty-five signed 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 homepage.

And now for the good stuff!

Today, I am hosting the wonderful Jessica Spotswood for the YA Scavenger Hunt! Here is Jessica's bio.

I grew up in a tiny one-stoplight town in Pennsylvania, where I could be found swimming, playing clarinet, memorizing lines for the school play, or—most often—with my nose in a book. I've been writing since I was little but studied theatre in college and grad school. Now I live in Washington, DC with my brilliant playwright husband and a cuddly cat named Monkey.

You can find out more about Jessica here, and you can buy her wonderful book, Born Wicked, here.

Born Wicked

Blessed with a gift, cursed with a secret.

THREE exceptional sisters.

TWO dangerous choices.

One terrible secret...

And not a single person they can trust.

The Cahill witches aren't safe...even even from each other.

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT

Jessica has a very special treat for you; a little look at life before the start of Born Wicked!

A Cahill Christmas Scene - Christmas, 1895 (9 months before BORN WICKED begins)

*SORRY, TIMES UP! EXCLUSIVE CONTENT HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN.*

Eep! So wonderful. Thank you, Jessica for sharing this wonderful piece with us.


Don't forget to enter the contest for a chance to win a ton of signed books by me, Jessica, and more! To enter, you need to know that my favorite number is 7. Add up all the favorite numbers of the authors on the blue team and you'll have the secret code to enter for the grand prize!

Now continue the hunt.
