Are you surprised? I hope you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re surprised. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m thankfully not surprised, I had this all planned. And as with most plans, this plan has a purpose.<\/p>\n
A friend of mine, an author to be precise, is nearing the launch of her next book and she had come up with a brilliant plan. Which I guess mean I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t plan all this\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 she did.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Let me lay it out on the table for you. My friend, J. Grace Pennington, is soon going to be releasing her second novel, a mystery set in the old west;\u00c2\u00a0Never<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0(you may recall that I reviewed Grace\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first novel,\u00c2\u00a0Firmament: Radialloy<\/em>, a few months ago). In preparation for\u00c2\u00a0Never<\/em>, Grace is holding a blog scavenger hunt!<\/p>\n What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a blog scavenger hunt? Well, good thing you asked. Grace has gathered a few blogs who are all posting at midnight (same time this post went live). Each of these blogs has a code and a link to another blog on the list. For this scavenger hunt, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got visit every blog and get their codeword (the codeword will be in the scavenger hunt post to make things a bit easier). All the blogs are looped together, so there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no official start or finish. You can begin anywhere!<\/p>\n Once you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve collected all the codes, send an email to:<\/p>\n theauthor [at] jgracepennington [dot] com<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Okay, okay. I should probably stop for a moment and explain\u00c2\u00a0why<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0you should actually participate in this scavenger hunt. Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the deal, by emailing Grace you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll automatically be entered in a drawing to receive a signed copy of\u00c2\u00a0Never<\/em>! Also, when you email her, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get two free,\u00c2\u00a0Never<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0themed, desktop backgrounds. Just for entering!<\/p>\n So what are you waiting for? My code and the link to the next blog are just below, you have until midnight (CST) on the 22nd of November<\/strong><\/em> (the day before\u00c2\u00a0Never<\/em> is released).<\/p>\n —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–<\/p>\n My code is:<\/strong><\/p>\n Pom-poms!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s some\u00c2\u00a0Never<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0trivia!<\/strong><\/p>\n Grace first became interested in Westerns and the Western style when she became a fan of Roy Rogers at age thirteen. \u00c2\u00a0Her fandom included watching his movies and his show, singing and listening to his songs, and a visit to the Roy Rogers Museum, previously located in Branson, MO.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The next blog is:\u00c2\u00a0lifewriter4<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
