Awesome Turn Blog Tour Scavenger Hunt
Thursday, Apr 11, 2013 at 3:06pm
Last week we hosted a guest post written by author Julie E. Czerneda. The post was one in a series focused on Julie's novel A Turn of Light. The blog tour went around the web to a variety of sites, and each post highlighted a different aspect of the author's creative process behind A Turn of Light. Altogether they told the fascinating story behind Julie's novel.
As a follow-up to the blog tour and a way of saying thank you to all of her dedicated readers, Julie has announced a scavenger hunt. Here's what Julie has to say about the hunt:
In honour of the fine bloggers who've hosted the tour posts and you, dear readers, Penguin
Canada, DAW Books, and I have TREATS to give away. Said TREATS being copies of A Turn of
Light, that elegant, huge bastion of dragons and toads.
To find out all of the details of the hunt and how you can win your very own copy of A Turn of Light, click here. If you'd like, you can right-click and download the PDF. Alternatively you can visit Julie Czerneda's official website.
