Fall 2020 YA Scavenger Hunt
September 29, 2020
Are You Ready to Hunt?
The Fall 2020 Scavenger Hunt is here! For those of you who don’t know what YASH stands for, the YA means Young Adult, as in books, S is for Scavenger, and the H is for Hunt! Since fall is the perfect time for hunting, what could be more fun than hunting for books?
“The trees are about to show us how lovely it is to let the dead things go.”

About Me
I’m Colleen Houck, your hostess for this leg of the hunt. For those of you who don’t know me yet, here are five fun facts…
- The only touring I’ve done outside the US is in Brazil.
- My goal this year is to learn how to machine quilt.
- I prefer pedicures over manicures.
- I’ve already dipped several dozen apples in caramel.
- My favorite pumpkin goody is a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie.
You are currently hunting on TEAM PURPLE.
Looking for my exclusive bonus content? You’ll have to keep searching.
Somewhere on this blog hop, I’ve hidden an exclusive brand new scene from the tiger series! Before you go looking for it, check out the amazing author I’m hosting. But, first, a few rules.
SCAVENGER HUNT PUZZLE RULES
DIRECTIONS:
Below, you’ll notice that I’ve listed my favorite number. Collect the favorite numbers of all the authors on TEAM PURPLE, and then add them up (don’t worry, you can use a calculator!)
HINT: THE SECRET NUMBER IS HIGHLIGHTED IN PURPLE!
THE RULES:
Open internationally, anyone below the age of 18 should have a parent or guardian’s permission to enter.

Entries sent without the correct number or without contact information will not be considered.
On the FALL 2020 YASH hunt, you not only get access to exclusive content from each participating YA author, but you also get a secret number.

This contest (and all the exclusive bonus material) will only be online until noon PST on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4th!
There are THREE contests going on simultaneously as well as a bonus contest and you can enter one or all! I am a part of the PURPLE TEAM but there is also a RED TEAM, & a BLUE TEAM! Check out each team for a chance to win THREE different sets of signed books!

Now that all the technical stuff is out of the way, I’ll introduce the author I am hosting on the FALL 2020 YASH!
Featured FALL 2020 YASH Author
This season I am hosting…
AMANDA MARIN
When Amanda was a child, her father traveled frequently for business, always bringing back a book as a present for her. Whether she was getting lost in the pages of a tale about faraway knights, girls with supernatural powers, or kindly giants, she was quickly hooked on stories. Nowadays, Amanda writes books of her own. Her favorite things include Starbucks lattes, lazy summer afternoons at the beach, and stories with characters that make you go “awww.” She lives in New Hampshire with her family and furbaby, Snickers the Poodle.
Featured Book!
Check out her book ENCHANTED KINGDOMS!
ENCHANTED KINGDOMS
Old tales, new twists ..hi. The stories you loved as a child have been twisted into wildly addictive tales that will bewitch you as an adult: enchanted castles, spellbinding magic, handsome princes, beautiful princesses, and as many happily-ever-afters as your heart desires. This mesmerizing set includes 21 novel-length retellings of different classic fairytales—all by a collection of best-selling and award-winning authors. And—because everyone deserves a fairy godmother—100% of proceeds benefit Puzzle Peace United, a children’s autism charity!

Don’t Forget the Secret Number!

Write that number down on your sheet and add it to the rest of the numbers you find on #TeamPurple, then enter to win the Purple Grand Prize, a Book from each author on the Team!
And don’t forget to enter the other two contests for a chance to win even more!
FALL 2020 YASH Bonus Contest
What? A bonus contest, you say? Nah. You guys don’t want a fall 2020 YASH Bonus Contest do you? What was that? You do? Ah, well since you insist, and since this is our final YA Scavenger Hunt, and since 2020 has been a tough year all around. I will definitely be running a bonus contest with freebies galore.

Not too much. This one’s an easy one. I’m giving away a dozen free downloads each of my two novellas, TIGER’S PROMISE & REIGNITED. I’m also giving away FIVE e-book downloads of my brand new book TERRAFORMER. For my long time readers who are comfortable with getting a package (indicate this on the rafflecopter), I’ll be putting together a special prize pack full of bonus mystery goodies.
