Hello, I’m Julia Day, your hostess for this stop with TEAM PURPLE!
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! So enjoy your stop here and at the other 19 stops on Team Purple. Check out the other 6 teams too (blue, gold, green, organge, pink, and red). But play fast! This contest only lasts until Sunday, October 7, 2018.
First, a little about me.
- My latest release, Fade to Us, is the book I'm featuring for the scavenger hunt as part of Team Purple. It's a sweet YA contemporary romance set during a summer musical theater camp. I'm an autism mom and was proud to write an autistic character as one of the trio of MCs.
- I have my own giveaway. See the end of this post for details on how to enter.
- Because I love to travel, I spend my vacations traveling the world. This year, it was England, Scotland, and Wales.
- While in Scotland, I saw haggis, but I did not eat it.
For complete rules and instructions, go to the YA Scavenger Hunt - How to Hunt page. Directions: Below, you'll notice that I've listed my favorite number. Collect the favorite numbers of all the authors on the purple team, and then add them up (don't worry, you can use a calculator!). 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 noon Pacific Time on Sunday, October 7. Entries sent without the correct number or without contact information will not be considered.
Basically, enjoy exclusive content on each stop on the hunt, collect clues, enter personal giveaways, add up the clues (numbers), and return to the YASH site to enter for more prizes.
Here are all of the wonderful books you could win from Team Purple.
Now, introducing my guest author, Chelsea Pitcher.
Chelsea Pitcher is a karaoke-singing, ocean-worshipping Oregonian with a penchant for twisty mysteries. She began gobbling up stories as soon as she could read, and especially enjoys delving into the darker places to see if she can draw out some light. You can visit her at chelseapitcher.com and follow her on Twitter at @Chelsea_Pitcher.
Now, let's learn more about her book This Lie Will Kill You . (Here is where you can Buy this Book!)
At the party, someone died.
Five teens each played a part and up until now, no one has told the truth.
But tonight, the five survivors arrive at an isolated mansion in the hills, expecting to compete in a contest with a $50,000 grand prize. Of course…some things are too good to be true. They were each so desperate for the prize, they didn’t question the odd, rather exclusive invitation until it was too late.
Now, they realize they’ve been lured together by a person bent on revenge, a person who will stop at nothing to uncover what actually happened on that deadly night, one year ago.
Five arrived, but not all can leave.
Chelsea's exclusive content is a Spotify playlist.
