Hello and welcome to my blog! You’re hunting on Team Gold right now, and I’m Kat Ross, your hostess for this leg of the game. 
I write historical fantasy and supernatural suspense, but I also like stories that throw a few different genres into a blender. My YASH giveaway book, A Feast of Phantoms, mixes the Old West with a bit of steampunk sci-fi. I’d love to hear about your favorite books (reading is keeping everyone sane right now, right?), so don’t forget to enter my own giveaway at the bottom of this post.
A bit about YASH

On this hunt, you not only get access to exclusive content from each author, you also get a clue for the hunt. Add up the clues, and you can enter for our prize–one lucky winner will receive one book from each author on the hunt in my team! But play fast: this contest (and all the exclusive bonus material) will only be online for 120 hours!

Today I’m hosting Candace Robinson!
Candace Robinson spends her days consumed by words and hoping to one day find her own DeLorean time machine.
Her life consists of avoiding migraines, admiring Bonsai trees, watching classic movies, and living with her husband and daughter in Texas—where it can be forty degrees one day and eighty the next.
You can find Candace on Twitter, Amazon, Facebook, and Instagram, as well as her website.
Avocado Bliss by Candace Robinson
Dacre Vinson has spent the majority of his life in quite the predicament—even the surf and his books can’t erase his Type 1 diabetes. But when Dacre’s family moves to a new Mexican town, an eccentric girl obsessed with trees offers him a job on the spot, leading to what could be the perfect distraction from his problems.
Salbatora Tames has one true love, her avocado farm. Her family constantly nudges her to be more social, but Sal much prefers the dirt, the sun, and the solitude. Besides, trees listen better than people do.
For Sal and Dacre, their job won’t stay easy breezy for long, not when an avocado delivery to Palenque, Mexico pops up on their radar. Together, they embark on a road trip across the jungle, where they form a tighter bond. However, as obstacles arise, their new-found troubles may lead to more woes than bliss.
Fans can find AVOCADO BLISS on Amazon!
