Author Contest: Unraveled by Gena Showalter

Gena Showalter’s YA series, Intertwined, about sixteen-year-old Aden Stone, a paranormal magnet who has, well had, four souls trapped in his head, continues this fall with the release of UNRAVELED (Harlequin, September 2010). Now, Aden is down to three souls bossing him around, but along the way he’s picked up the title of Vampire King to add to his ever-growing list of worries (which includes a prophecy that says he’ll bite the dust after a knife through the heart). To celebrate UNRAVELED’s release, Gena and her YA buds are hosting a scavenger hunt on their blogs.

The all-star lineup of hunt participants includes authors Rachel Caine, PC Cast, Marley Gibson, Rosemary Clement-Moore and Tina Ferraro, as well as Gena, natch, and The Knight Agency blog. Three grand prize winners will each win a $100 Visa gift card, plus Gena's giving away signed copies of UNRAVELED to five lucky runner-ups. All you have to do is find all eight letters, unscramble them and email the word to Contests(AT)KnightAgency.net. To find out where the letters are hiding in the great internet universe, click here for a contest road map and rules.
This contest runs from Monday, August 30th to Thursday, September 2nd. All entries must be received by Monday, September 6th at midnight ET.

This is a sweet author contest where the prize is 3 $100 visa gift cards! Or signed copies of the book! The scavenger hunt is pretty self explanatory, the link to the "official details" is here:

Wondering what Unraveled is about? Here's the Goodreads description:

For once, sixteen-year-old Aden Stone has everything he’s ever wanted:

A home.

Friends.

The girl of his dreams.

Too bad he’s going to die...Since coming to Crossroads, Oklahoma, former outcast Aden Stone has been living the good life. Never mind that one of his best friends is a werewolf, his girlfriend is a vampire princess who hungers for his blood, and he’s supposed to be crowned Vampire King – while still a human! Well, kind of.

With four – oops, three now — human souls living inside his head, Aden has always been “different” himself. These souls can time travel, raise the dead, possess another’s mind, and, his least favorite these days, tell the future.

The forecast for Aden? A knife through the heart.

Because a war is brewing between the creatures of the dark, and Aden is somehow at the center of it all. But he isn’t about to lie down and accept his destiny without a fight. Not when his new friends have his back, not when Victoria has risked her own future to be with him, and not when he has a reason to live for the first time in his life...

Sounds awesome, I know! So what are you waiting for? The scavenger hunt starts today, so head on over to Rachel Caine and Gena Showalter's blogs to get the first letters!

**Contest Winner!**

My 100+ followers contest is over, and before I announce the winner, I want to let all of my followers know how much appreciate you! What would be the point of writing anything if no one was going to read it? I love checking out your blogs and having you read mine. So, thank you to all my followers! Unfortunately only one person can win the prize though. I had 25 different people enter with a total of 78 entries! Wow! I must say I'm amazed. Being my first contest, I had no clue if anyone would actually enter! Thank you all so much!

After using random.org, the winner of either Marked by P.C. and Kristin Cast or Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz is...

Gina (entry 38)

Congratulations! I will be emailing you shortly. If you don't reply within 48 hours, the prize will go to someone else.

Once again, thank you all for entering!

100 Followers Vampire Series Giveaway!

In honor of reaching 100 followers (Thank you so much! I love and appreciate all my followers!), I will be holding my first giveaway! It's not the coolest giveaway out there, but I want to do something for my followers to let them know I appreciate them. :)

I will be giving away one of two books. They are both the first book in some pretty awesome vampire series.

Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz
Marked by P.C. and Kristin Cast

If there is enough interest in the contest I will make both available, but for now, the winner will choose one of the two. Also, if there is a lot of interest, I may add more prizes! But for now, that's all.

OFFICIAL RULES:

1. You must be a follower to enter this contest. After all, it is a 100 follower giveaway!
2. You may enter up to 6 times for old followers, 5 times for new followers. Do not fill out the form more than once!
3. This is not a comment contest. Feel free to leave a comment but they will not count as entries.
4. "Extra Entries" means promoting this contest in any way. You can tweet, mention it in a blog post, or anything else. Feel free to do as many as you would like, but you will only get credit for doing it once. (For example, 1 tweet is worth 3 entries, but if you tweet and write a blog post, you still only get 3 entries.)

**Update: I forgot to add, this is not international. I don't have that much money! Sorry!**

This contest ends in one week, Saturday August 28!

Thank you all for participating!
