YA Scavenger Hunt

 

Welcome to the Fall 2015 YA Scavenger Hunt!

 

 

I'm Margo Kelly, and I'll be your hostess for this leg of the hunt. I write thrillers, and I'm excited that Merit Press (the YA imprint of F+W Media) will be publishing my second novel, UNLOCKED, in 2016. YAY! Somewhere along this scavenger hunt, I've shared exclusive content related to my first novel, WHO R U REALLY?, and clear down at the bottom of this post, I'm giving away a signed paperback copy (exclusive to readers of this post). So be sure to enter the Rafflecopter before you hop off to the next site in the scavenger 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!

SCAVENGER HUNT POST

I'm happy to introduce you to the author I am hosting for the hunt:
Jennifer Jenkins

With her degree in History and Secondary Education, Jennifer Jenkins had every intention of teaching teens to love George Washington, the Napoleonic Wars, and Ancient Sparta . . . until the writing began. Author of Young Adult fantasy and co-founder of Teen Author Boot Camp, she divides her time between reading, writing music, taking spontaneous trips, and researching random events from the past. NAMELESS, a Young Adult tribal fantasy, releases October 6, 2015 with Month9Books.

 

"Four clans have been at war for centuries: the Kodiak, the Raven, the Wolf and the Ram. Through brutal war tactics, the Ram have dominated the region, inflicting death and destruction on their neighbors. Seventeen-year-old Zo is a Wolf and a Healer who volunteers to infiltrate the Ram as a spy on behalf of the allied clans. She offers herself as a Ram slave, joining the people who are called the “nameless.” Hers is a suicide mission – Zo’s despair after losing her parents in a Ram raid has left her seeking both revenge and an end to her own misery. But after her younger sister follows her into Rams Gate, Zo must find a way to survive her dangerous mission and keep her sister safe. What she doesn’t expect to find is the friendship of a young Ram whose life she saves, the confusing feelings she develops for a Ram soldier, and an underground nameless insurrection. Zo learns that revenge, loyalty and love are more complicated than she ever imagined in the first installment of this three-book series."

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT
- from Jennifer Jenkins -

In NAMELESS, four clans have been at war for centuries: the Kodiak, the Raven, the Wolf and the Ram. Through brutal war tactics, the Ram have dominated the region, inflicting death and destruction on their neighbors. Zo is a Wolf and healer who infiltrates the deadly Ram clan as a spy to save her people. What she doesn’t expect to find is the friendship of a young boy whose life she saves, the confusing feelings she develops for a Ram soldier, and an underground slave insurrection.

The world of NAMELESS is rife with turmoil and at the heart of that conflict are the four clans included in the book. Each was inspired by one of my favorite cultures throughout history. 

Wolf: inspired by Viking and Norse
Raven: inspired by the Navajo
Ram: inspired by Ancient Sparta
Kodiak: inspired by Maori Islanders

Wonder which clan you’d belong to if you lived in the world of NAMELESS? 

Take this quiz and find out! Share your results and email me at jennifer(at)writerscubed(dot)com with your name, address, and designated clan, and I’ll send you an official clan tattoo. Offer good until October 15, 2015 as a YASH exclusive.  

To find out which clan you're in - take the quiz!
