I’m happy to be a part of the puzzle for my friend, Gena Showalter’s, new book that comes out this month.  Here is my letter.

Gena Showalter’s YA series, Intertwined, featuring paranormal magnet Aden Stone continues this September with UNRAVELED. To celebrate her new release, Gena and her author BFFs are hosting a 4-day scavenger hunt on their blogs; including this one. Three grand prize winners will each win a $100 Visa gift card, plus Miss 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. Easy peasy. Today, Linda Gerber and I have our letters up front and center. To get the skinny on where the other letters are hiding in the great internet universe, click here for a contest road map and rules.
 
Participating UNRAVELED hunt blogs include superstar authors Rachel Caine, PC Cast, Rosemary Clement-Moore and Tina Ferraro. This contest runs from Monday, August 30th to Thursday, September 2nd. All entries must be received by Monday, September 6th at midnight ET. Happy Hunting!
 
So, are you behind the curve and wondering what UNRAVELED is all about? Read on to learn more about Aden:
 
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.

Have fun!

Have you entered the grand prize giveaway I’m doing to celebrate the release of GHOST HUNTRESS: THE COUNSELING?  If not, click here and enter!   You’ve got until September 15th to get in on the giveaway!

While you’re out picking up a copy of THE COUNSELING, why not grab a copy of another awesome book.  It’s REVAMPED by my friend, Lucienne Diver.  It’s the sequel to her fun, fun book, VAMPED.

In ReVamped, Gina and her boyfriend Bobby are sent undercover to infiltrate a New York high school where some seriously weird stuff is going down.  Worse than that, Gina’s new super-secret identity is as goth-girl Geneva Belfry.  No color palette to speak of.  More chains than a bike rack.  And don’t even get her started on the shoes.  At least she won’t be too worried about blood spatter when kicking the butt of her newest nemesis, who’s decided that the high school makes a perfect playground.

Here’s what people have been saying about this series:

“This is a witty vampire romance/adventure with plenty of heart and action.  Diver has written a supernatural sequel to Vamped (Flux, 2009/VOYA August 2009) that will attract even reluctant readers.  It is filled with wry twists, such as the difficulties of trying to apply mascara when, as  vampire, you don’t have any reflection in the mirror, as well as the typical agonies of being young and trying to fit in.”   —VOYA

“Gina, the 17-year-old fashionista of the undead, is back and as sassy as ever (Vamped, 2009). Thoroughly enjoyable, this sequel is a light, fizzy read… listening in on Gina’s thoughts and quick-witted dialogue is what makes this such a treat.” —Kirkus Reviews

For another great contest, click here to win a copy of Lucienne’s book. Contest ends 9/6.
