WELCOME TO THE 2014 YA CONTEMPORARY SCAVENGER HUNT!
If you're so inclined (or want a free copy of THE SOUND OF LETTING GO), pop on over to Jenny Hubbard's site to read my thoughts about murky line between fiction and nonfiction. Meanwhile, I'm thrilled to be hosting the delightful Angie Stanton to get the "Scavenger Scoop" on her new novel, ROYALLY LOST, including some personal "facts" that find their way into her amazing books. And, if you want to win a copy of Angie's book, just leave a message in the comments below (North America only)!
WotS: Royally Lost is set
in Europe. Have you been to Europe?
ANGIE STANTON: Yes! In fact, I took the exact trip that
Becca takes including the side trip to Prague. Most everything in the book I
saw first hand. Except the chapter where they swim in their underwear.
WotS: Describe Royally Lost in 10 words or
less.
AS: American girl, dashing prince, on the run
from the world. (That was hard!)
WotS: How has the writing process changed for
you between writing your first novel and your most recent one?
AS: I’m much more organized and do more
research Writing is no longer a hobby, writing is my life. I can finish a book
much faster than when I started.
WotS: Is there any other genre that you'd ever
consider writing in?
AS: Time travel. I’m not sure what genre that
would be.
WotS: What do you like to do when you're not
reading or writing?
AS: I’m a reality TV show junkie. I love
Survivor, Amazing Race, Dancing with the Stars, American Idol. My DVR is busy.
About Royally Lost...Dragged on a family trip to Europe’s ancient cities,
Becca wants nothing more than to go home. Trapped with her emotionally distant
father, over-eager stepmother, and a brother who only wants to hook up with
European hotties, Becca is miserable. Then she meets Nikolai.
Nikolai has everything a guy could ask for--he's crown
prince, heir to the throne, and girls adore him. But the one thing he doesn't
have...is freedom. Staging a coup, he flees his kingdom and goes undercover on
his own European tour.
When Nikolai and Becca meet, it’s their differences that
draw them together. Sparks fly as they share a whirlwind of adventures, all the
while dodging his royal guard. But Becca's family vacation ends in a matter of
days. Will Nikolai and Becca be forced to say goodbye, will his destiny
catch up to him, or will they change history forever?
About the Author... Angie Stanton never planned on writing books, she wanted
to be a Rockette. However, growing up in a rural setting with her brothers' 4-H
pigs as pets, dance didn't work out. Instead she became an avid daydreamer.
After years of perfecting stories in her head she began to write them down and
the rest is history.

Thank you so much for this amazing giveaway! I actually had the opportunity to meet Angie Stanton at the CBC event in NY, but she was not able to be there so I couldn't meet her in person or have a book signed by her. I remember coming across Royally Lost while surfing through Goodreads and I loved the cute synopsis. After since, I really wanted to read it. Thank you once again for this awesome chance! :)
