YA Author Jo Whittemore chronicles the writing adventure.
1. Contest: Guess the Asian Origin!

Yesterday I received some ARCs of my new book, Colonial Madness!

I'd love to share them with you BUT there's a little game involved.
See the lovely ladies below? (including...ahem...yours truly)
YOU have to guess their Asian heritage. Why?
Because diverse authors are just as important as diverse books.
We are Asian, but we are so much more.

So:
The ladies, in alphabetical (not photographed) order, are:
Sophia Chang
Cindy Pon
Joyce Wan
Jo Whittemore
Kat Yeh

The locations you can choose from are:
China
Japan
Korea
Singapore
Taiwan
The Philippines
Vietnam

The Rules:
1. Match the name to the lady (you can do a simple "From L-R...")
2. Match the location to the lady (not all locations will be used and some may even be repeated!)
3. Open to US and Canadian residents only (Hey, I'm diverse, not rich)
4. If multiple entries are correct, a winner will be chosen by random drawing
5. Contest ends at midnight CST on 8/10
6. Enter by emailing your answers to ME

The Prizes:
An ARC of Colonial Madness
AND
A copy of my book D is for Drama (so I'm representing both my Caucasian AND Asian [but which?] heritage)
AND
A $10 Barnes & Noble gift card

Get thee to guessing, and good luck!
