SCAVENGER HUNT POST

Today, I am hosting Jeri Smith-Ready  on my website for the YA Scavenger Hunt!

“Award-winning author Jeri Smith-Ready lives in Maryland with her husband and two cats, who require constant feeding (the cats, not the husband–he cooks!). Jeri’s plans to save the earth were ruined when she realized she was more of a “problem maker” than a problem solver. To stay out of trouble, she keeps her Drama Drive strictly fictional. Her friends and family appreciate that.When not writing, Jeri she can usually be found—well, thinking about writing, or on Twitter. Like her characters, she loves music, movies, and staying up very, very late.”

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT

Life can change in an instant, and no one understands that better than Aura. It’s been almost a year since her boyfriend tragically died. She’s finally letting go of Logan’s violet-hued ghost, but not her search to uncover the truth about her past.

 As the first in a generation that can see ghosts, Aura is convinced that she has a connection to the Shift. She’s trusted Zachary, ever patient and ever by her side, with all that she knows. But when the government threatens his life in an attempt to learn Aura’s secrets, she will stop at nothing to protect herself and the one she loves…even if that means betraying her own heart.”

For the YA Scavenger Hunt, Jeri has provided an exclusive sneak peek at a tie-in novella to her SHADE trilogy. “Shattered” (coming early 2013) takes place concurrent with Book 3, SHINE, but is told from the point-of-view of Zachary Moore, the series’ Scottish hero. Today’s scene promises to be a shocker, for it features another character thought to be gone forever….

To keep going on your quest for the hunt, you need to check out the next author GREGG OLSEN! http://emptycoffinseries.com

I am also giving away a signed paperback of PRETTY AMY a bookmark and bracelet!

Amy is fine living in the shadows of beautiful Lila and uber-cool Cassie, because at least she’s somewhat beautiful and uber-cool by association. But when their dates stand them up for prom, and the girls take matters into their own hands–earning them a night in jail outfitted in satin, stilettos, and Spanx–Amy discovers even a prom spent in handcuffs might be better than the humiliating”rehabilitation techniques” now filling up her summer. Worse, with Lila and Cassie parentally banned, Amy feels like she has nothing–like she is nothing.

Navigating unlikely alliances with her new coworker, two very different boys, and possibly even her parents, Amy struggles to decide if it’s worth being a best friend when it makes you a public enemy. Bringing readers along on an often hilarious and heartwarming journey, Amy finds that maybe getting a life only happens once you think your life is over.
