YA Scavenger Hunt

The YA Scavenger Hunt is officially over. Thanks for playing!

Welcome to the Summer Scavenger Hunt! If you’ve gotten here via another blog on the hunt: nice to see ya! If you’re here to use my blog as the starting line: I’m flattered! Grab a Spongebob Squarepants party hat!

And a slice of dead mouse birthday cake.

So here’s the deal. The YA Scavenger Hunt is an online blog hop sponsored by over fifty authors. Winners get a giant truckload of books, and many authors have their own individual contests along the way. Each of us hosts a different author on the tour, and each author contributes some exclusive bonus material. Want to read the first chapter of Croak‘s sequel, Scorch? Of course you do! But you’ll have to keep hunting to find it!

What are the rules?

Directions: Somewhere below is my favorite number in blue. Collect the favorite numbers of all the authors on the blue team, and then add them up.

Entry Form: Once you’ve added up all the numbers, make sure you fill out the form here to officially qualify for the grand prize. Only entries that have the correct number will qualify.

Rules: Open internationally, anyone below the age of 18 should have a parent or guardian’s permission to enter. To be eligible for the grand prize, you must submit the completed entry form by August 5, at noon Pacific Time. Entries sent without the correct number or without contact information will not be considered.

If you’ve already been to this blog or are stuck in any way, click here to go to the YA Scavenger Hunt website for some help. Also note that you are currently blog hopping on the Blue Team – once you’re done with this one, check out the Red Team for a chance to win even more prizes!

So without further ado, let me welcome my guest to the stage:

Hey look! It’s Debbie Viguié!

Debbie Viguié is the New York Times Bestselling Author of the Wicked series and two dozen other books.  She is one of the queens of epic dark fantasy.  Debbie also writes thrillers including The Psalm 23 Mysteries, the Witch Hunt trilogy, and the Kiss trilogy.

And what is her new book, VANQUISHED, about?

Hope is in short supply, but courage runs deep as the Salamancan hunters recover from a devastating loss. Jenn knows she must rally her team against the Cursed Ones, but her focus is shattered. She’s torn between passion for Antonio, who once fought by her side, and hate for the bloodthirsty vampire he’s become. His volatility is tearing apart their team…and Jenn’s trust.

You can find out more about Debbie at her website, and buy her book on Amazon.

But that’s not all!

Enter my contest for a chance to win a copy of Scorch! There are, like, 28 ways to enter: follow me on Twitter, like me on Facebook, follow this blog, follow me on Pinterest, or leave a comment below guessing the name of my new puppy (hint: he’s named after a character from a beloved 80′s movie). If anyone guesses it on the nose, they’ll get a prize too!

**Personal friends: no spoilers, please.
Additional hint: It’s not The Brave Little Toaster

When you’re all done clicking and liking and following, just fill out this little form, and you’ll be entered! (You MUST fill out the form to be entered, otherwise I won’t know what to give you credit for):

Contest is now closed, and winners will be announced tomorrow, August 6. Thanks for entering!

Okay, now what?
