A Scavanger Hunt with Arial Burnz

I’m thrilled to have another chance to do a little cross promotion for another wonderful author. Allow me to present the hilarious and loving Vonnie Davis! *round of applause* If you haven’t read any of Vonnie’s books, you’re in for a delightful experience. And you should definitely follow her blog. The woman has me in stitches!!! Vonnie, darling, I’m so glad you accepted my invitation to participate in the hunt! *Big virtual hugs and smoochie kisses!* (I hope Calvin won’t mind.)

What is the Scavenger Hunt?

For those of you just joining the scavenger hunt, I’m Arial Burnz, author of the Bonded By Blood Vampire Chronicles and I’m doing something a little different than your typical cover reveal. We’re on a Scavenger Hunt! In short, I’ve split my new book cover for MIDNIGHT HUNT into fifteen puzzle pieces and scattered them across the Internet. From June 17th through July 1^st, one piece a day will be revealed on a blog, website or one of my internet hangouts (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc.).

Gather the codes from all the pieces and send them in to me at the end of the hunt and you’ll be entered into the drawing for Amazon or Barnes & Noble gift cards, a signed paperback copy of my new release MIDNIGHT HUNT, as well as some signed Romance Trading Cards and other swag (Total Approximate Retail Value of All Prizes: $65). Please click here for the details and my contact information, and here for Official Rules.

Today’s Puzzle Piece

Vonnie is doing the honor of revealing…yes, you guessed it…the eleventh piece of the puzzle. *drum roll* Tah-dah!

 

Notice the really important part of the puzzle piece above…the CODE! You’ll need that for the final drawing. Be sure to write that code down. You can right-click on the image and save it OR jot down the code somewhere safe. (NOTE: You can always go back to my site where the links to the pieces will be consolidated on one page and updated throughout the Scavenger Hunt.)

Zooming In On the Piece…

Jeez, Von! I’m sorry…this is not a very exciting piece. However, BRODERICK is an exciting piece. *eyebrow waggle* Thank you very much! I’ll be here all week…try the veal and don’t forget to tip your waiters and waitresses. *bah-doom-chee* All right…all right…moving on. :\

Exploring the Paranormal

Switching back to werewolves. In the last post, we discussed what gets in our craw about vampires. Now we’re venting about werewolves. What is your pet peeve? Whether you’ve seen it on television, in the movies, or read about it in a book, vent about it here.

Perhaps you’re one who really doesn’t like the warm and fuzzy creature that’s more wolf than man. Then again, you may hate the monstrous wolfman-like beast Lon Chaney or the more recent Benecio del Toro portrayed in the Wolfman movie.

What about their transformation? (Oooo…get ready to learn a new word.) Do you despise the way the shapeshifter transmogrifies into the beast, which is usually pretty darn painful and gut-wrenching? Maybe you don’t like hybrids? Or is it something else? Do tell! What peeves you about werewolves? OR is there something authors, movies or TV do with werewolves that you wish they wouldn’t? Please share!

I’ll be available if you have questions and I’m looking forward to interacting with everyone.

Added Bonus: Be sure to leave a comment for my characters, who have been known to make appearances and surely already have during this hunt. (Click here if you’d like to learn more about my characters.)

Thanks again, Vonnie, for having me as a guest! Mwah!
