A Writer's Treasure Hunt - Week Four

After NaNoWriMo wraps up, we’ll all be proud of ourselves for our hard work, but also ready for a break. So, I would like to give away two books to one lucky winner as an end of November treat!

The first book you can win is an autographed copy of The NaNoLand Chronicles By: Chris Baty. The second is a surprise that you will have to uncover. Each week in November I will post clues so that you can hunt down one of the words in the title of the mystery book.

After all clues are posted, the first ten people to unscramble the words, and comment with the correct book title, will go into a drawing to win both books! The winner will be announced on December 1, 2011.


Clues for Week Four: The word you are looking for this week is five letters long.

1)    Head over to Becca's fantastic site.

2)    The first letter can be found under The Why tab. When you find out what Becca love's beginning, the letter is the last letter in that word.

3)    Under categories find short stories. The next letter is the seventh letter of the title of Becca's story.

4)    Locate Becca's post from January 20, 2011. The next letter is the ninth letter of the second subheading in this post.

5)    Go to the contact section for the fourth letter. Click the link to see Becca's twitter feed. The letter is the sixth letter in her blurb about herself.

6)    The fifth letter is in Becca's post from September 7, 20011. Becca gives an example for 'the alternative' in parenthesis. The letter is the eigth letter in her example.



If you need to catch up:
