Have you joined the Hunt?

March 14, 2024 By Cara Putman

The spring Christian Fiction Scavenger Hunt, that is?

I love these hunts. They are such a great way for me to discover new authors by going through the hunt and learning more about authors who are friends and discovering new authors. I always learn something about their books, too. It’s such fun. And this year’s collection of books is fabulous. Just look at them:

 It’s so easy to join the fun. All you have to do is start at the first stop on Lisa Bergren’s website and collect the clues through all the stops, in order, so you can enter to win one of our top 5 grand prizes! Many authors have bonus giveaways. I’m hosting one (and I’m stop two) that’s tied to The Vanished that releases next month.

  • The hunt BEGINS today, 3/14 at noon MST with Stop #1 at LisaTawnBergren.com.
  • Hunt through the loop using Chrome or Firefox as your browser (not Explorer).
  • There is NO RUSH to complete the hunt—you have all weekend (until Sunday, 3/17 at midnight MST)! So take your time, reading the unique posts along the way; our hope is that you discover new authors/new books and learn new things about them.
  • Submit your entry for the grand prizes by collecting the CLUE on each author’s scavenger hunt post and submitting your answer in the Rafflecopter form at the final stop, back on Lisa’s site. Don’t forget, many authors are offering additional prizes along the way!

How do you like to discover new to you authors? I’ve found many I love through libraries or the recommendations of friends. I’m starting interviews for the next season of Book Talk and I’ll be meeting a couple new to me authors through that, and I can’t wait! It’s such fun to learn their stories.

As I prepare for the launch of The Vanished next month (have you preordered your copy yet?), I’m rereleasing the prequel Art of Deception. This novel was part of the Come What May collection that released in August. If you missed Art of Deception then, you get it for $2.99 through my store. I’ll set it up to go wide after the semester ends. 🙂 Happy reading, ya’ll!
