Welcome to YA Scavenger Hunt! I’m Darcy Woods, author of the YA contemporary romance, Summer of Supernovas, and your vintage dress-wearing hostess for this leg of the hunt. 😀
This bi-annual event was first organized by author Colleen Houck as a way to give readers a chance to gain access to exclusive bonus material from their favorite authors…and a chance to win some awesome prizes! At this hunt, you not only get access to exclusive content from each author, you also get a clue for the hunt. Add up the clues, and you can enter for our prize–one lucky winner will receive one book from each author on the hunt in my team! But play fast: this contest (and all the exclusive bonus material) will only be online for 5 days!
Go to the YA Scavenger Hunt page to find out all about the hunt. There are FIVE
contests going on simultaneously, and you can enter one or all! I’m a part of the BLUE TEAM! But there is also a red team, a gold team, a pink team, and a purple team for a chance to win a whole different set of books!
If you’d like to find out more about the hunt, see links to all the authors participating, and
see the full list of prizes up for grabs, go to the YA Scavenger Hunt page.

THE SCAVENGER HUNT
Today, I’m wildly excited to be hosting Shaila Patel! Shaila is a pharmacist by training, a medical-office manager by day, and a writer by night. SOULMATED, her debut young adult paranormal romance won the 2015 Chanticleer Book Reviews Paranormal Awards in YA. A huge fan of epilogues, she also enjoys traveling, craft beer, tea, and reading in cozy window seats. She writes from her home in the Carolinas.

MY FAVORITE NUMBER…
I’ve always found numbers rather fascinating. (Just don’t ask me to math them.) So it’s not surprising that a certain author (ahem, moi), who wrote a book about astrology, would find numerology equalling enthralling. Particularly, the Roman numeral XXII. *suggestive eyebrow waggle* The number 22 is considered to be a master number in numerology. Methodical & practical–it’s the most powerful of ALL the master numbers. It can even transform goals into reality. Also? May 22 happens to be my birthday. Which is pretty rad. 😉 And I can guarantee, there are waaaay more than 22 books on my gifty wish list!
CONTINUE THE HUNT
To continue on your numerical hunt for a jackpot of books, you’ll want to check out the next author on Team Blue, the magnificent Lea Nolan!
