Kara's News and Musings: Kara's Birthday Blitz!!

That's right....today is my birthday. And before you ask, no, I'm telling you how old I am ;)

I'm celebrating by hanging out with my characters from The Georgia Corbins. Ali is celebrating her 17th birthday by taking a trip down memory lane with all of her friends. And the best part is: YOU guys get the gift! That's right. I'm giving away the following mini-swag pack:

Includes:

A signed paperback copy of The Georgia Corbins;
The Georgia Corbins spiral bound notebook;
The Georgia Corbins refrigerator magnet;
My really pretty (and simple) business card; and
A Kara Leigh Miller pen.

I've decided to do this giveaway a little differently -- something that will hopefully be fun -- A blog hop scavenger hunt!

Here's how it works:

1. Visit the listed blogs below -- IN THE ORDER THAT THEY ARE LISTED (this is very important) -- and read the never-before-released excerpts.

2. At the end of each excerpt there will be a link to the next blog with the next excerpt--which will pick up right where the previous one left off. (This is why you need to read them in order. See? There is a method to my madness. I promise!)

3. Each blog will have it's very own Rafflecopter giveaway entry form that will require you to answer a question about the excerpt you just read. Once you give an answer, you will be rewarded with a clue. The clues could be anything from one word to a series of words, a phrase, or an entire sentence.

4. Collect all the clues from all of the blogs. Make sure you keep track of each clue. You'll need them at the end of the game!

5. Each stop will also give you other options: follow me on Twitter, like me on Facebook, etc. For each one you do, you will be entered into another drawing for a chance to win some "Surprise Gifts"

6. Once you've visited each stop, and collected all the clues, come back here and use those clues to solve the final puzzle--which will enter you into the Grand Prize drawing for the swag pack pictured above.

7. Winners will be announced here, on my blog, on June 25th.

Here are the places you'll need to go:
