It's an Eerie October Giveaway!
The eeriest month of the year is here… Eerie October has arrived!
And to get into the spirit of things, nine other YA authors with atmospheric, haunting, or otherworldly themed books and I are sponsoring a fantastic giveaway! The Grand Prize winner will receive one copy of each of of the titles you see in the graphic (hardcover or paperback, author’s discretion), and a Runner Up will win the e-book of each title. International contestants are eligible from any country where Book Depository ships for free.
Enter the Rafflecopter below for your chance to win! And don’t forget to check out the other nine sponsoring authors’ websites!
When I was younger, I wasn't really allowed to watch "creepy" movies or shows, so it wasn't until I was older that I got to watch things like Halloween Town, Hocus Pocus, or my absolute favorite, The Nightmare Before Christmas. Even the Haunted Mansion at Walt Disney World is my favorite attraction. And who can forget the Corman-Poe Cycle series of films! No wonder I became weirdly fascinated with the gothic aesthetic, drawing on that for my YA debut without even realizing it until someone else pointed it out to me. Seriously!
What's your favorite Halloween movie or TV episode? Or even just your favorite eerie, atmospheric film?
Comment below and then enter the draw to win 10 YA books! Woo-hoo! Best of luck, foolish mortals... 
RULES: Ends 10/31/17 at 11:59pm EST. No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited by law. You must be at least 18 years old to enter or have your parent’s permission.

About the Author
J.C. WELKER is a YA author who's been, among other things, a fashion designer, a filmmaker and a kickboxer (seriously). Her short documentaries, which focused on homeless Iraq veterans and lgbtq+ issues in the military have been featured on CURRENT TV, and her debut novel won first place in the paranormal category of the 2016 YARWA Rosemary Awards. She continues to work towards giving a voice to stories that are needed, while facing magic and monsters along the way.
About the Book
Winner of the 2016 YARWA Rosemary Awards for paranormal fiction that Mia Siegert (JERKBAIT) calls, "An exhilarating read.”
With a book in her bag and a switchblade in her pocket, Rebel's been thieving her way through life while hoping for a cure to fix her ailing heart.
But when the bejeweled vase she just tried to hawk turns out to be a jinni's vessel, Rebel gets lost to her world and dragged within another. Now every magical being in the city wants the vase for themselves.
Thrust into a game of cat and mouse in a world she never knew existed, Rebel must use her uncanny skills to find a way to free Anjeline the Wishmaker.
But wishes have consequences. And contracts. Anjeline's freedom could unravel a love like Rebel has never known, or it could come at the cost of Rebel's heart...

Now, if I (Faith) was able to wish for something, know what I'd ask for? I'd ask what the Ultimate Question is... you know, the question about life, the universe and everything, since (according to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) the answer is...
...but that's neither here nor there. Nor do I imagine I'll be getting any wishes anytime soon. That said, it's okay, because I (and, uh... everyone else reading this post) gets to enjoy this Exclusive Content from J.C. Welker instead! Woo-hoo!
