THE GIRLFRIEND REQUEST cover reveal and contest!

I am beyond excited to share the cover for my Young Adult Contemporary novel, THE GIRLFRIEND REQUEST!

Blurb:

Emma has been best friends with Eli since she moved to his neighborhood ten years ago. Tired of being cast in the role of the girl next door, Emma creates a fake Facebook profile in the hopes of starting an online friendship with Eli, which would hopefully lead to more. Like...way more. From friend request to In a Relationship--it all seemed so completely logical when she'd planned it.

Eli can't figure out what Emma is up to. He's pretty sure she's the one behind the Facebook profile, but then again, why would she do something so drastic instead of just admitting she wants to be more than friends? And who the heck is this new guy he saw her with? Eli starts to think that just maybe... he missed his chance with the girl next door.

 Two best friends, one outlandish ruse. Their status is about to become way more than It's Complicated.

 Be sure to keep an eye on EntangledTeen.com for an interview with Eli for their Swoon-Worthy Sunday feature. (Trust me, Eli is definitely just that!) ;-) I hope you love reading THE GIRLFRIEND REQUEST when it releases just as much as I loved writing it.

Until then, may your days be filled with love and laughter.

Fun Stuff Coming up...

I have been so crazy busy with edits and writing that I've really done a horrible job of keeping up to date on this blog--so I apologize for that! I will get better, I promise. Maybe I should make that my pre-New Year's resolution. Hmmmm.....

Anyway, I am so excited about all of the awesome things coming up, that I will be able to announce soon! To give just a hint....you will get the chance to "meet" Eli, the swoony hero from my upcoming novel, THE GIRLFRIEND REQUEST, which is set to release January 12th, 2016 from Entangled Crush.

In addition to that, I've lined up some AMAZING authors who have agreed to be interviewed about their books. Many will also be holding cool contests for your chance to win things like books, Amazon GCs and more. Keep an eye out for the hashtag #HolidayBookFun on twitter. So definitely keep your eye out!  If YOU are a YA author (any genre!) who would like to be featured on my blog, please reach out. (Check out the "Contact" tab or use the handy-dandy email link to the right.)  =)

Until next time..may your days (and nights!) be filled with love, laughter and plenty of weak-in-the-knees-inducing kisses.

YA Scavenger Hunt (#YASH)

 

 Welcome to YA Scavenger Hunt!  

I'm Jodie Andrefski, and you are currently hunting TEAM GREEN.

About Me

I had a horse named Thunder, which leads into my favorite mythological creature...a pegasus.

I am a sucker for desserts. No, I mean SERIOUSLY.

Coffee comes in close second.

I am afraid of heights.

I am a Netflix binge-watcher. Yes, I admit it. =)

I have a sneak peek of my work-in-progess YA novel hidden somewhere in this blog hop. You can find my CRUSH playlist here. CRUSH is a twisty-turny YA thriller...of course, I had to throw a touch of romance in there too. Keep hunting to find the sneak peek! And as part of the GREEN TEAM, you can enter to win a signed copy of my 5-star rated YA Contemporary novel, SUMMER OF HOPE, along with a ton of other fabulous YA books.

So what exactly is #YASH??

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 EIGHT contests going on simultaneously, and you can enter one or all! I am a part of the GREEN TEAM -- but there is also a pink team, a gold team, an orange team, a teal team, a red team, a purple team, and a blue team for a chance to win a whole different set of signed books!

Are you ready for some EXCLUSIVE CONTENT from Lisa Schroeder??

What do you do with your last day on earth?

There are 27 hours and fifteen minutes left until an asteroid strikes North America, and, for Emerson and everyone else who didn't leave, the world will end. But Emerson's world already ended when she ran away from home last year. Since then she has lived on the streets, relying on her wits and her friend Vince to help her find places to sleep and food to eat.

The city's quieter now that most people are gone, and no one seems to know what to do as the end approaches. But then Emerson and Vince meet Carl, who tells them that he has been granting people's wishes. He gave his car away so a woman could take her son to see the ocean for the first time, and he gives Emerson and Vince all the money he has in his wallet.

Suddenly this last day seems full of possibility. Emerson and Vince can grant a lot of wishes in 27 hours -- maybe even their own.

Now are you ready for something super awesome?? Lisa's book trailer for ALL WE HAVE IS NOW is brand new and hot off the press. (Well, hot off of Stop Motion Studio, anyway!)  =) It's totally unique and you definitely want to check it out.
