Welcome to YA Scavenger 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 signed 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 72 hours!
There are SIX contests going on simultaneously, and you can enter one or all! I am a part of the GOLD TEAM-but there is also a red team, a blue team, a teal team, an orange team, a red team, and an indie team for a chance to win a whole different set of signed books!

Book Cover:
A Sci-Fi Thrill Ride Set in the Action-Packed Sports Arena of the Future
A rising star in the weightless combat sport of zeroboxing, Carr “the Raptor” Luka dreams of winning the championship title. Recognizing his talent, the Zero Gravity Fighting Association assigns Risha, an ambitious and beautiful Martian colonist, to be his brandhelm––a personal marketing strategist. It isn’t long before she’s made Carr into a popular celebrity and stolen his heart along the way.
As his fame grows, Carr becomes an inspirational hero on Earth, a once-great planet that’s fallen into the shadow of its more prosperous colonies. But when Carr discovers a far-reaching criminal scheme, he becomes the keeper of a devastating secret. Not only will his choices place everything he cares about in jeopardy, but they may also spill the violence from the sports arena into the solar system.

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT - FIGHT PROMOTION COMPANY LOGOS
Fonda tells us about the logos:
While writing ZEROBOXER, I had a lot of fun envisioning not just how a zero gravity combat sport would actually work, but the whole culture and industry behind it, one that mirrors what we’re familiar with today.
Carr “the Raptor” Luka competes in the Zero Gravity Fighting Association, the pre-eminent professional fight promotion company in Greater Earth orbit. Headquartered on Valtego city station and run by the influential Martian, Bax Gant, the ZGFA Cube is where every amateur Terran zeroboxer dreams of competing.
Even bigger and more established than the ZGFA is the WCC - the Weightless Combat Championship. Based on Surya city station near Mars’ moon of Phobos, the WCC is a massively popular and lucrative organization boasting the best Martian zeroboxers.
I just had to design ZGFA and WCC logos. Dar Albert at Wicked Smart Designs helped me create these, and I still bounce up and down and grin every time I look at them. The star in the ZGFA logo, and the Cube (the zero-g arena) shape behind the WCC are perfect.

Look for these to show up in some pretty epic fight posters very soon. If you want to know when and where exactly, check out the full schedule of Zeroboxer launch events happening over the next several weeks.
And remember to look for the book on April 8!
