Back to School Christian Fiction Scavenger Hunt

Welcome to the inaugural Back to School Christian Fiction Scavenger Hunt!

This hunt is a blog hop. Collect the “clues” (pieces to the longer phrase) at each stop. Enter the individual giveaways along the way (if there is one), then click on the link to the next stop and repeat until you reach #28, where you will input the full phrase as your entry to the grand prize drawing.

The hunt begins August 30, 2023, at noon EST and ends September 4, 2023, so you have plenty of time to visit each stop. If you need to step away and come back later, make a note of the last stop you visited, and go to this post with the list of all stops on the hunt.

If you are having trouble viewing the posts, you may need to switch browsers. Chrome and Firefox sometimes work better than Microsoft Explorer or Edge.

WELCOME TO STOP #24

Hey, thanks for stopping by! My name is Ann Brodeur and I’m a multi-genre
writer – inspirational romance, women’s fiction and historical.

I love stories. Period. Stories that make me think. Stories that make me
laugh. Stories that make me cry. And stories that give me hope.

My love of story goes way back to the age of Atari, pinned up jeans, and teased hair. The first volunteer job I ever had was working in the school library. There wasn’t anything better than pulling out the cards from the back of a book and stamping it with the due date. It was fun discovering new books from the card catalogue, or re-shelving books that fellow students had enjoyed. I lived for my volunteer day, because at the end of it, I’d be allowed to borrow one of the newest books the librarian had ordered (and hadn’t put on the shelf yet).

I remember our librarian well, Miss Waind. It was she who encouraged me to enter my first writing contest. It was Miss Waind who congratulated me on my contest win and she who drove me to my first author conference.

When I was ten years old.

Since then, I’ve had an appreciation for the library. In fact, I wrote the majority of Snowbound in Winterberry Falls at a local library. The library is my happy place (second to my trailer). And librarians are my superheroes (really – these people can find information on ANYTHING).

And now, with little bookworms of my own, a trip to the library is a regular occurrence.

What do you like about libraries?

A little bit about the book I’m giving away, Snowbound in Winterberry Falls...

Unwrapping their past – one secret at a time.

Owning her own PR firm is all reporter Stephanie Clark wants for Christmas, but the idea of running a prestigious election campaign in the country’s capital throws her stomach into knots. A last minute vacation road trip to focus and seek God’s direction for her life ends up in disaster when she gets caught in the worst snowstorm to hit Vermont in over a decade, crashing her into a small town and the one person she’d rather forget.

Former photojournalist Jason Miller hadn’t planned on being solely responsible for saving his family business from financial ruin. He’s barely keeping the newspaper in print, his News Editor has gone AWOL during the town’s most celebrated holiday festival, and reports of missing Christmas decorations have everyone on edge.

When a desperate knock at the newsroom door brings a ghost from Christmas past back into his life, can Jason make up for his prior behavior without breaking his promise to Stephanie’s father? Will Stephanie’s quest to solve the town’s Christmas caper—and uncover the truth about Jason’s disappearance — cost her everything she’s ever wanted?
