Welcome to the Hunt!
I’m Rachel Harris and I write Fun & Flirty escapes. Young Adult, New Adult, Adult Romance…I like to mix it up, but every book will make you giggle and swoon. 2013 has been a crazy year with two books releasing this summer and book two in my adult romance series October 14th! Llife is busy and my head is filled with voices (my characters obviously, he he), but I escape the nuttiness via books.
Yep, I’m a proud bookaholic, and this event is so up my alley.

SCAVENGER HUNT PUZZLE
Now that all the technical stuff is out of the way, we can get to the goods!! For my stop on this hunt, I’m thrilled to host author Gwenda Bond!
Gwenda Bond is the author of the young adult novels THE WOKEN GODS and BLACKWOOD (out now from Strange Chemistry), with GIRL ON A WIRE coming in 2014 from Skyscape.
BLACKWOOD is currently in development as a TV series by MTV, Grammnet Productions, and Lionsgate TV. She is also a contributing writer for Publishers Weekly and regularly reviews for Locus. She has an MFA in Writing from the Vermont College of Fine Arts, and lives in a hundred-year-old house in Lexington, Kentucky, with her husband, author Christopher Rowe, and their menagerie.
To stalk Gwenda, head over to her Website and on Twitter.
Here’s the intel on THE WOKEN GODS:
Five years ago, the gods of ancient mythology awoke around the world. This morning, Kyra Locke is late for school.
She lives in a transformed Washington, DC, the city now home to the embassies of divine pantheons and the mysterious Society of the Sun. But when our rebellious heroine encounters two trickster gods on her way back from school, one offering a threat and the other a warning, it turns out her life isn’t what it seems. She escapes with the aid of Osborne “Oz” Spencer, an intriguing Society field operative, only to discover that her scholar father has disappeared with a dangerous relic. The Society needs it back, and they don’t care how they get it.
From the author of Blackwood comes a divinely different fantasy that will appeal to fans of Neil Gaiman, Cassandra Clare, and Rick Riordan.
** as stated above, the exclusive content has been removed, but you definitely want to check out this series!! **
SEE?? This is what I adore about this Hunt…the exposure to amazing authors and books I somehow missed and will now be hunting (ha! I totally crack myself up) at my local bookstore.
Don’t forget to enter the CONTEST to win a ton of signed books by me, Gwenda, and a ton of others! To enter, you need to know my favorite number…a number that just happens to be in my debut title, My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century.
