I’m soooo excited that my first Super Special is hitting all stores TODAY! As a kid, I *loved* super specials and having my own is beyond my wildest dreams. I hope you all like it and have as much fun reading it as I did writing it.
*throws confetti sparkles in the air*
How would you like YOUR first name and to appear as a minor (with the possibility to turn into a major character . . . you never know!) character in INITIATION? If you like, you can also include the first initial of your last name like “Sasha S.” And I’ll make up the last name.
Here’s what to do:
This is open to EVERYONE–US and international–yay! Leave a comment here with your first name (and optional last name first initial) and tell me what you’d do if you saw your name in a CC book. 🙂
Want *two* bonus entries? Send me a photo of YOU with your copy of Chosen! It must come from your parent’s e-mail address and they have to give the okay for me to put the photo on my blog. I will NOT use your name. I just want to share the photos with Team Canterwood!
The contest is open now and you have TWO WEEKS to enter. It closes Tuesday, May 17th at midnight. I will be out of town that week, so it might take me a week or so to announce the winner.
Good luck to everyone! 🙂
Jessica Burkhart 
My name is Marni Steckmann.If I got chosen, I would freak out! You are already my favorite author, and it would be SUCH an honor!Ironically, I was bored and daydreaming about this like 2 days ago! I would deffinatly buy a BUNCH of extra copies and give them to family members and have everyone read them!I would also probably frame the book some how and put it on the outside of my horse's stall! ❤
Hi! My name is Hannah D. I would be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo amazed! I LOVE your books! I promise you they are the best books in the UNIVERSE!!!! I am soo not lying! If i got my name in one of YOUR books i would scream and just FREAK OUT!

Hi Jessica!!!! My name is Kate Brady and it would be an honor to have my name in your books! Let me tell you a little about myself. I have been riding horses since i was 5 years old and now im twelve! i own a paint horse named Forrest and he is my best friend in the whole world! he is chesnut and white. i couldn't live without him! My favorite thing to do is learn new things with my trusty stead;) Im also compete in horse shows at a high level (the breed circuit) but i try not to get to competitive because that takes all the fun away from riding. Aside from horseback riding, I am always hitting the library and having fun with friends! The subjects i excel in are English Language Arts (as you can see i love to write!) and Math but i still do well in history and science. I have never gotten anything lower than an A- on a report card!;) My Favorite colors are blue green purple and pink but Forrest (my horse) and I are always caught modeling neon green. My style is a classy look but im not to self concious. i am bubbly and funny and always having fun with my friends! also one thing i always get caught day dreaming about is boys!!!LOL! me and my friends are always talking about them!also, I couldnt live without my phone!! i love to text my friends!! facebook is always apart of my life to!!! Juggling riding my horse, playing with my pets, doing homework, looking nice for school and hanging with my friends, I always have time to read canterwood crest! ever since it came out ive been addicted to it! it takes me at the most, two days to finish your book!!!! one of my big goals in life is to get into a prep school like lauren, sasha and all the other characters in canterwood crest, especially a school with a riding team! i hope you will consider MY NAME in YOUR book:) as i said earliar it would be an honor!~Kate Brady♥♥
Its Kate Brady again! haha sorry! i forgot to say this one last thing before…if you have any questions feel free to ask!!!!~Kate Brady♥♥

Brandi and i would be sooooooooooo amazed that u noticed my comment and put at least one of our names in ur book! Canterwood Crest has inspired me to start a book series of my own!(don't worry i'm not coping u)i might change it since it sounds to much like canterwood but so far it's called Cavent Academy.if I saw my name i would tell everyone and make my book dedicated to you. Brandi and I are our own CC Fan duo. so i would tell her first and THEN tell everyone else. my bday is in December, so it would be a total gift if my name showed up in INITIATION. btw U R AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!adoring fan/author to be,Victoria K. (Kashiwai)

Caitlin R.If i saw my name in one your books i'd probably freak. i'd start jumping up and down txt my friends who red the series n then go tell my pony (he seariosly listens to me. we make deals n he nods when i'm done explaing stuff. he watches me then mimicks what i'm doing. kinda weird :P) i'd probably groom him for hours just telling him how happy i am 😛

First i would have to read it over like, 80,000 times to make sure i was actually reading my name, thenn,i would probably scream until my throat went dry, dance around by room, txt my bff who is a CC addict, like me,email u, jessica, and say how thankful i am for having my name in the books, scream some more, grab some tea to come my jitters (i know thats what lauren towers would do (:), get on facebooook that very second and tell all my friends, photo copy the page and put it on my bedroom door where i keep awesome papers, such as an autograph or a cherished picture, cherish the page forever, dubb that book to be the best CC ever written, not that the others arent equally amazing, which they are! keep screaming. jummp around , do cartwheels, flips, scream even more, hugg my PillowPet, eat candy, dream even more about how if CC was turned into a TV show and i played sasha or lauren, eat my most favorite chocolate chip cookies ever,scream, grab my dog and twirl her in my arms, turn my fan on cause i would get so hot from the screaming and the jumping, stare at the page untill everything becomes blurry, drink ANOTHER tea like Lauren towers, Scream, scream, AND DID I SAY SCREAM?!?!?!? 🙂 i love u so much jess u are an amazing writer and it would mean the world to me if u chose to put my name in INITIATION.

Hey there Jessica!!!My name is Jayllex M. (And yes, that IS my real name! :D) If I, (A small-town girl from UNIONSBURG, might I add 😉 saw my name in one of your amazing books, I would comepletely freak out! First, I would make sure I'm not halucinating. Then, I would take thousands of pistures and plaster them alllll over Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and every other web-site I am a member of! Next, I would spend about the next week reading everyone of your books, Wellington Prep and Chosen included, because I know them all pretty much by <3. Then, I would apply my new fave lip gloss, Watermelon Lip Smakers! (I think I've seriously bought 1,000,000 bottles since January!) After that, my shock might have dimmed by 0.00000001%, just enough so that I can squeak out to the W-O-R-L-D that *MY* name is in YOUR, *J-E-S-S-I-C-A B-U-R-H-K-A-R-t*'s book! Next I would get my daily-dose of My most favorite web-site, @Jessicaburkhart.com <333P.S. ~ Pic coming soon!:)P.P.S. ~ I REALLY hope you make a movie or T.V. series! #superpumped!

When I know that it's real, I'll get a plane ticket to go to my hometown, Dallas ASAP and read the book in one night then fly back to Indonesia! Next, I'll tell my friends and my english teacher!

Then I'll tell my friends to read the book! :DThis is an experience I would never forget Jess, so I'm so stoked to see my name in one of your books (if that happens) :)There's plenty more reasons but these are the ones that mean a whole to me.PS: I'll thank God too! ❤ LOLThanks ❤ Fiona G.Love ur books always!Hope u give me this opportunity!:)) –> Words can't describe how excited I am!

My name is Kyla G. If I saw my name in a Canterwood Crest book, it would be one of the best days of my life. I would tell all of my friends and I would wear green and gold a lot. I would go to the stables where I take riding lessons and celebrate by giving most of the horses I know carrots and a lot of love. Next, would be the best part, I'd take a trail ride and act like I was my Canterwood Crest character. I would make a t-shirt that says Canterwood Crest and then decorate my room green and gold (but maybe a little pink too).
MY NAME IS CAROLINE MIXON AND IF I WAS IN ONE OF YOUR BOOKS I WOULD SCREAM AND FREAK FOR DAYS U ARE THE THE BEST AUTHOR IN THE WORLD AND EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW THAT SO I WOULD POST HUGE COMMENTS EVERYWHERE TO READ UR BOOKS AAAAAAAHHHHHHH I KEEP THINKING WHAT IF MYYYY NAME WAS IN ONE OF MY IDOLS BOOKS OMG I LOVEEEEEE U!!!!!!!!!THANKS HAHAHA
My name is Cheyenne V. It would be freakin' awesome and exciting at the same time. But I would also be sssooo inspired. I am writing a book/ series that will be similar to Canterwood Crest but not totally like Canterwood Crest. I would do something like this and I would probally inspire young girls that are around my age. Me encanta the Canterwood Crest series!A picture/ collage I made myself! ;)[IMG]http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/1664/canterwoodcrest.png[/IMG]
I abosolutley LOVE the Canterwood Crest series!!!!! I have all the books (including CHOSEN) and I read each book at least 2 times (except CHOSEN, only once) I my name was in one of the book (my name is Maela S.) I would totally freak! I'd pratically brag to everyone about my name in the best series ever! I would also call my friends and family. I'd TOTALLY faint (or close to do so)after I pinch myself to make sure I am not dreamin. 😉 Everyone would be so happy for me *and jealous*. My name in CC books… its totally one of my dreams that awaits to come true!!!!
OMG!!!My Name: Erin B. If my name was put in the next Canterwood Crest book I would FREAK OUT!!!! I would tell my WHOLE family(i have a big family) and bug them about it forever! I would also tell all my friends and even my dog(no that's not crazy if my name is in a book!I would also buy a million copies of the book and tell everyone to read it and the series because the sseries is AMAZING!! I would also be so excited to have my own horse and to be "going" to Canterwood! I would also hang up a ton of banners and annouce it to everyone I see. Another thing I would do is make accounts on lots of websites like this blogging website and post it in HUGE letters. I would lso post it on facebook. I would also take a picture of my name and it would be my cell phone's backround forever!
My name is Liza K. and if I saw my name in a CC book! I would scream, maybe have a heart attack, and show ALL my friends and make them read the book b/c its ama(ZING!). And then after that I would read the book! Omg this would be so amazing its not even funny. and just knowing that a character is based off of you and knows the (fictional but awesome character) amazing LAUREN TOWERS! AAHHHH!!!!!!!! So exiting!! KK hope i win…:) love CC! <333-Liza
Jess, you have the coolest idea for a contest!!!!!!!My name is Chloe C. and if I saw my name in your book, I would first, scream and start jumping up and down. Then, I would tell my parents and my pug Fuzzy. Last, I would tell all my friends that I actually got into a CC book. That would be just too cool! Also, hope Kate is alright. Tell her that she will always have support from me and all my CC fan friends. 🙂
My name is Reagan. This series is the greatest one I've read. If I saw my name in a Canterwood Crest book, I would be Freak. Out. I used to have a horse, Starla, and still love her. We also (still) have donkeys. Two. Luci (normal size) Boomer (miniature). Yep. Love them both. Anyways, LOVE Canterwood Crest. If I saw my name in one of the books, I would get more involved in Horse back riding. I would start going to Double Diamond Ranch, in Boerne. I already want to start riding , but being in a book of Canterwood Crest would really inspire me to be more involved. I owe knowing about this contest to my awesome friends. 🙂 I'll try to post my picture later!!!
My name is Macrae S. If I saw my name in one of your books, I-WOULD-FREAK-OUT!!!!!!!!! omigod i would go insane!!! first of all, I would like call and text and go over to my bff's house and she loves CC also and i would be like "my name's in the book!!!!" and we would jump for joy and laugh and scream and have a marathon session of reading your books like 5 times in a row!!!!!!! It would be sooooooo fun and amazing!!!!! I would probably re-read the book that my name was in like a bajillion times and even more than that….and i own all of the other CC books so i would read all of those also!!!Last, but certainly not least, I would call or mail or email you or even come and find you in NYC and would THANK YOU for putting my name in the book!!!!!! hahahthanks Jess!!!-Macrae
Okayso. If I saw MY name in YOUR book!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! That would be amazinngg!!!!! I would flip out!!!!!!! I screamed when I saw the contest was extended!! My life has been really hard lately. My parents got divorced a year ago and now we have to move to Ohio!!! 😦 Away from everyone!! And the guy I like just asked my enemy (yes, my enemy, as enemyish ((?)) as Sasha to Heather at first) This would make my daaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDDDDDDDDD I would be so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's been my dream to star as Lauren or Sasha in a Canterwood movie…….. To be in a book…………….. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Please pick me? 🙂 ~Amy Cox
