A Scavenger Hunt with a Huge Payoff

Do you enjoy scavenger hunts—especially ones with big prizes at stake? Then don’t miss the upcoming Online Christian Fiction Scavenger Hunt, which will take place October 19^th - 22^nd, 2017. I’ll be participating along with 23 other authors, and the prizes will include some hefty amazon gift cards, lots of free books, and plenty of other goodies too. Along the way, you can read all sorts of interesting articles, discover the latest books by some of your favorite authors, and enter other various drawings on the side.

How To Play

If you’d like to participate, here’s how it works. At any point between noon MST on October 19^th and 11:59pm MST on October 22^nd, you will need to visit 24 different author blogs in a specific order and collect “clues”—text that appears in red—from each of those blogs. 

While there, you can also enjoy exclusive insider content and in many cases enter individual mini-giveaways.  Once you’ve visited all 24 stops in the correct order, you will be able to assemble the clues you’ve gathered into a specific quote or quotes, which you will then load into a form along with some other basic info.  Then a drawing will be held among qualifying entrants and the winners announced.

Other prizes given by individual authors include such goodies as signed books, a tea set, candleholders, and more.  My own drawing will be for this fun Reader’s Gift Basket.
