Fall 2015 YA Scavenger Hunt: TEAM PURPLE

Eep! It's that time of year again! Time for the Fall 2015 YA Scavenger Hunt! For fans of the Call Me Grim series, I'm so excited to reveal the cover for the next book in the series, Death Becomes Me, which releases in November! But you won't find it here... You'll have to HUNT for it! :-D Also, don't forget to enter the extra contest at the end of this post!

Before we jump into the fun, here's a bit about YASH. 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 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 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 PURPLE TEAM--but there is also a red team, a gold team, an orange team, a green team, a blue team, a pink team, and a teal team for a chance to win a whole different set of signed books!

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

SCAVENGER HUNT POST

Today, I'm hosting Marci Lyn Curtis for the YA Scavenger Hunt! Her debut novel, THE ONE THING, just released last month and it sounds amazing!

Marci Lyn Curtis grew up in Northern California, where she went to college and met an amazing guy in a military uniform. Two college-aged kids and one dachshund later, she lives in Maryland, where she laughs too loudly and eats peanut butter off spoons. Her YA contemporary debut, The One Thing, released September 8th, 2015, via Disney-Hyperion.

Find out more information by checking out her website or find more about the THE ONE THING here!


EXCLUSIVE CONTENT

Maggie Sanders might be blind, but she won't invite anyone to her pity party. Ever since losing her sight six months ago, Maggie's rebellious streak has taken on a life of its own, culminating with an elaborate school prank. Maggie called it genius. The judge called it illegal.

Now Maggie has a probation officer. But she isn't interested in rehabilitation, not when she's still mourning the loss of her professional-soccer dreams, and furious at her so-called friends, who lost interest in her as soon as she could no longer lead the team to victory.

Then Maggie's whole world is turned upside down. Somehow, incredibly, she can see again. But only one person: Ben, a precocious ten-year-old unlike anyone she's ever met. Ben's life isn't easy, but he doesn't see limits, only possibilities. After awhile, Maggie starts to realize that losing her sight doesn't have to mean losing everything she dreamed of. Even if what she's currently dreaming of is Mason Milton, the infuriatingly attractive lead singer of Maggie's new favorite band, who just happens to be Ben's brother.

But when she learns the real reason she can see Ben, Maggie must find the courage to face a once-unimaginable future...before she loses everything she has grown to love.

And don't forget to enter the contest for a chance to win a ton of signed books by me, Marci Lyn Curtis, and more! To enter, you need to know that I have 12 Halloween spooks floating around my house. Add those spooks to the rest and you'll have the secret code to enter for the grand prize!
