The YAmazing Race with MGnificent Prizes!
Update: The YAmazing Race is now over. Thanks so much to everyone who played! Prizes for the big race and for my own blog contest will be announced in the next day.
Welcome once again to the YAmazing Race with MGnificent prizes (or, if this is your first race, just a regular ol' welcome): a blog hop with 50+ debut authors involving a ton of prizes like books, swag, and more.
How does it work, you might ask? Well, first, make sure you've gone here to the Apocalypsies blog for the complete rules. From there, you're going to be led to a series of our blogs where you'll learn a little bit about each of our books. File away the book info in your head because you will then use it to take a short quiz. There will be four quizzes in all. You can do one, you can do them all. Naturally, I recommend being thorough (because you will have a much better chance of winning awesome prizes and 100% chance of learning about awesome books.)
Got that?
So, without further ado, here's a little bit about my book:
The Mapmaker and the Ghost by Sarvenaz Tash
Goldenrod Moram loves nothing better than a good quest. Intrepid, curious, and full of a well-honed sense of adventure, she decides to start her own exploring team fashioned after her idols, the explorers Lewis and Clark, and to map the forest right behind her home. This task is complicated, however, by a series of unique events—a chance encounter with a mysterious old lady has her searching for a legendary blue rose. Another encounter lands her in the middle of a ragtag gang of brilliant troublemakers. And when she stumbles upon none other than the ghost of Meriwether Lewis himself, Goldenrod knows this will be anything but an ordinary summer . . . or an ordinary quest.

Also...since it's Halloween and I wrote a ghost story AND my birthday is this week, I'm giving away a signed hardcover of The Mapmaker and the Ghost and some swag right here on this blog! Just fill out the Rafflecopter form below -- you'll see there are extra ways to get entries by leaving a comment (about your Halloween costume this year), following me on Twitter, liking me on Facebook, following my blog or adding my book to your Goodreads shelf. My contest will be open until Tuesday, October 30th at 11:59 PM EST.
Good luck!

ReplyDeleteI'm not dressing up for Halloween this year, but my daughter just announced that she wants to be a witch, because everyone should be a witch at least once. :) Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI actually have two costumes for Halloween. I am going to a party this weekend and I am going to be an 80's Zombie, and for actual Halloween to bring my kiddo out I have a fairy costume. She is going as a Pirate.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'll actually dress up, but I have a gladiator costume in case I do.

ReplyDeleteMy two year old daughter has decided to be a bedazzled kitty (she calls herself scardy cat) and she wanted me to be a dog but we can't find dog ears so I am also being a kitty.
ReplyDeleteI haven't decided for sure yet. Probably a book character of some kind.
ReplyDeleteOh I dont know. I dont think I'll have time for "fun" thanks to nursing school :( Although, now that I think about it...I could just wear my scrubs and stethoscope and be a nurse :D LOL
ReplyDeleteSadly, I'm not dressing up this year since Halloween seems to have sneaked up on me. *was not ready*
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'll be dressing up for Halloween this year as I'll be working until 8pm at night and will probably just want to eat dinner and go to bed! It's a shame though as I love Halloween and relish any excuse to dress up. Oh well, maybe next year. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI think this might actually be the first year I'm not dressing up because I don't really have anywhere to go to need a costume : )
ReplyDeleteI'm not dressing up. I always wear a Halloween T-shirt. One of my kids will be a ninja and another a ghost.
