In June, the Alliance of Young Adult Authors is sponsoring a massive young adult scavenger hunt — and Risuko is part of the fun! This is a chance to meet some new authors, grab a bunch of free books, and sign up to win a whole bunch of epic prizes!
Each author will be given a special keyword, which will be bolded and all caps like this: BUTTERFLIES.
All you have to do is visit all the author’s sites in this order, write down the special keywords to discover the short story, then enter the giveaway with the completed short story HERE (link will be posted soon).
There will be one main giveaway for the main prize, but most of the participating authors (including here!) will also have smaller giveaways for free books, Amazon credit and author swag, so make sure you read their post carefully to see what else they’re offering while you’re on their site for the keyword.
We are in the process of compiling a new glossary of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese words that occur in Risuko — and we’ve posted it on Risuko.net!
Check it out. If you have questions about any of these translations or about any words you’ve encountered in the book, please let us know!
Thanks for the wonderful response to Serenity, the prologue to David Kudler’s historical adventure novel Risuko!
Our next installment, “Chapter 1. The Left-Hand Path,” begins Risuko where she most loves to be — up in a tree, overlooking the castle of Lord Imagawa.
Before long, however, an old noblewoman forces her to the ground, and nothing will ever be the same.
We’ve built this site in preparation for the upcoming publication of Risuko: A Kunoichi Tale by David Kudler, a young-adult historical adventure novel set in Japan during the century-long Sengoku or civil war.
Check it it out and let us know what you think of Risuko’s new home!
