Welcome to YA Scavenger Hunt!
Hello! I’m Brenda Drake, your host for this leg of the hunt.
About Me …
I’m addicted to Gold Fish crackers.
My favorite color is red. But I must say that since seeing the THIEF OF LIES book cover, purple is changing my mind.
I have two cats. One I named after the heroine in the Library Jumpers series, Gia.
I have a legit obsession for Imagine Dragons!

Now that all the technical stuff is out of the way, I’ll introduce the author I am hosting on this hunt.
Today, I’m excited to be hosting my friend, Roxanne Lambie, on my website for the YA Scavenger Hunt! The book Roxanne is showcasing in the YA Scavenger Hunt this season is QUANTUM.
Here’s a little something about Roxanne and her amazing novel …
From an early age, Roxanne Lambie fell in love with books and storytelling. Her work as a professional pilot kept her busy, but she never gave up on her dream of writing. It was the combined love of both that sparked QUANTUM.
When she isn’t sitting at the computer or flying high in the skies, you can find her relaxing at home with her family and dreaming about their next vacation.
Book Blurb:
Seventeen-year-old student pilot, Willow Ryan, can be in two places at once, but she doesn’t know it.
While on a solo flight, she is transported from Texas to Ireland where she meets a stunning Irish local, Liam Tyl. During her visits, he tries to help her unravel the mystery of how she appears and disappears, but their time together is always short lived.
At home, she has no memory of Liam or her travels to Ireland. There are chunks of time that she can’t account for—moments with her friends and family. Most importantly, memories with her ailing Mom that can’t be replaced.
Liam reaches out to her through letters, and together they discover there are two versions of Willow. Now she must learn how to navigate between her two realities without losing the new love in her life or her family back home. An accident proves that she may be too much like Schrödinger’s cat, and leaves Liam and Willow both questioning her survival.

Quantum Tidbits
(Never Before Released Info)
Here are some “nuggets” from QUANTUM that my readers don’t know. Little pieces of information that I haven’t shared until now:
- Quantum was originally titled, “Chloe”. My MC, Willow, was changed from Chloe in early drafting.
- Willow’s birthday is August
, the date I wrote the first sentence and Willow was “born”. Liam’s birthday is January 29, the day I wrote the scene where he tells Willow his birthday. (I’m a slow writer) - The Lightning Strike by Snow Patrol was my most listened to song while writing. Listen here:
- Willow’s airplane is N890RG, a play on the first airplane I ever flew solo, N89090, and my maiden name, Roxanne Griffin.
I’m also hosting a giveaway!!!

I want to be transported to the 1920s, 1940s, or Harry Potter world to go live with Tonks and Remus and keep them stuck at home with their baby so they don’t die.
I’d have to say I’d want to be transported to Victorian England, or simply Ireland. I’d want for nothing more!
I would love to be transported to Japan or South Korea. Both of those countries are one of my dream destinations
I would definitely want to go to Paris! My dream is to one day go and I would love to go during the late 1800’s if I could!
Added “Quantum” to pinterest. You didn’t mention pinterest in the list of three social media outlets, but I figured that would be OK.

If had to pick a time period, I would pick the 1890’s, so that I could go to the World’s Fair in Chicago. As for a place, I would love to be transported to Paris. I’ve always wanted to go there.
Maybe England. I’ve always wanted to go there. ^_^
I want to be transported to the past. I would like to experience the culture back then.
