YA Scavenger Hunt-2017

YA Scavenger Hunt

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!

Growing up I LOVED going on scavenger hunts! I used to beg my mom to make up clues leading me here and there, around my house to find a small treat at the end. This Scavenger Hunt isn't your average kid hunt! This has some amazing books as prizes! And who wouldn't love to win them? 

Go to the YA Scavenger Hunt page to find out all about the hunt. There are eight contests going on simultaneously, and you can enter one or all! I am a part of the ORANGE TEAM--but there is also a red team, a gold team, a green team, a blue team, a purple team, and a pink 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

Today, I am hosting Michelle Andreani and Mindi Scott on my website for the YA Scavenger Hunt! 

Michelle Andreani and Mindi Scott are novelists from opposite coasts who met through an online Young Adult Writing class. For years, they critiqued each other’s manuscripts, and then they wrote an entire book together—all while exchanging thousands and thousands (oh, and thousands) of emails, texts, and Tweets. Michelle lives in New York City, and The Way Back to You is her first novel. Mindi lives near Seattle, Washington, and her books are Freefall, Live Through This, Violent Ends, and The Way Back to You.

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT

So much of co-writing is being on the same page (well...no pun intended). Which meant the visuals were super important to us while working on THE WAY BACK TO YOU because we each needed to be seeing the same things. Photos were a reference to go back to -- whether for characters or settings -- but also inspiration. Not to brag, but that led to a pretty spectacular, slightly overwhelming Pinterest page. (It's still a secret, but you can check out a sampling of it here!) And for a quick glance into Cloudy and Kyle, and their journey in the book, we've put together a moodboard for each of them. We hope they give you a sense of where the story takes them...

Cloudy

Kyle

And don't forget to enter the contest for a chance to win a ton of books by me, C. M. Boers, and more! To enter, you need to know that my favorite number is 21. Add up all the favorite numbers of the authors on the orange team and you'll have all the secret code to enter for the grand prize!
