Blank Check
The rules are simple:
Join the app.
Dream big.
Then wait.
Once a month, the world holds its breath as the global phenomenon Blank Checks selects one random contestant. The prize? A blank check. No strings attached. They write the number. Any number. Whatever they believe their dream is worth.
No one knows who funds the app. No one knows how they choose. But every winner is real, and every story becomes legend. From some of the globe’s most exotic locales come the amazing tales that fuel the hunger - and the hunger that fuels the game!
About the Author
Genevieve Marshall was born with a wanderlust for adventure and the unknown. She travels for the sake of experiencing all that this blue planet and its population of humans has to offer. As a single female traveler most of the time, Genevieve Marshall found that her lack of fear and deep desire to explore has kept her on the move most of her life.
“I should write about my stories and publish a book for my family and friends to read”, I thought. With time on my hands, I sat down, wrote and published my first book in 2022. To my amazement, everyone was thrilled with my collection of "Unexpected Adventures". They asked for more. With that, "MORE Unexpected Adventures" was born in 2024.
A novel began to brew in my head in 2024. I spent months asking friends, family and strangers how much they would make a Blank Check out for. To my surprise, the idea sparked conversations, intrigue and continued fascination. Soon I found myself writing endlessly, spending countless hours on telling the story. Before long, I completed my very first novel, just recently released.
