CONTEST: 1st Chicagoland Vampires Scavenger Hunt

Ed. Note: I’ll be in Kansas City THIS Saturday (May 23, 2009) for ConQuest 40 and participating in the vampire romance panel at 2:00 p.m. Drop by and say hello!

It’s SCAVENGER HUNT time!

The release of FRIDAY NIGHT BITES is still five months away. If you haven’t yet perused the first chapter, feel free to take a read-through.

But, if you’ve read the first chapter and STILL need a Friday Night Bites fix, I’ve copied below pictures that served as source material for the book–they either inspired the book, or the items pictured in the book were featured in Friday Night Bites.

Can you peruse the web and identify what’s depicted in the images? Send an e-mail with your answers by the deadline below, and the (timely) entries that contain the most correct answers will be entered into a drawing to receive a Cadogan House gift pack, featuring cool Chicago-related and Chicagoland Vampires-related items, including:

• a Chicago guide book that includes Merit’s own notes;
• a necklace from Chicago-based jeweler Jess LC;
• a Cadogan House mousepad; and
• a SIGNED copy of SOME GIRLS BITE!

More details about the gift pack are coming soon. In the meantime, to enter the scavenger hunt, e-mail your list of answers to scavenger hunt at chloe neill dot com. Entries must be received by midnight on Friday, May 29, 2009!

GOOD LUCK!

2. A little boating, anyone?

3. Isn’t she beautiful? Can you give me the model? Hint: Think Ethan’s favorite ride.

4. Can you name the city and the neighborhood? Two clues: (1) Frank Lloyd Wright and (2) 951.

5. What, and where? Hint: Think Celina’s last stand.

6. Can you name the city? Hint: It’s home to only one of two Ikea stores in Illinois.

7. This one’s practically a giveaway.

Alright, that’s it. Pretty painless, right? Good luck!
