Diplomatically Speaking...

...Get Thee to a Bookstore!

Happy Alien Diplomacy Release Day!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I had beyond a blast at the Jambalaya Writers' Conference...and I'll be giving you my full recap later this week. But since today's Alien Diplomacy's big day, let's check out what's going on around the web in honor of release day!

First up, head over to Tynga's Reviews and catch the yap running large and in charge. There's also a chance to win a copy of Alien Diplomacy, so don't miss out and get entered to win!

Speaking of winning, if you're on Twitter, the Alien Collective Virtual HQ is giving you a chance to win a copy of Alien Diplomacy merely by retweeting their tweet about Alien Diplomacy. I know! It's so meta. Anyway, follow me (@GiniKoch) and you'll be able to find the message to RT, and it'll be wonderful, wonderful...an you might win, too.

Now, onto the reviews! Check out what RT Book Reviews thinks of Alien Diplomacy (hint: They made it a Top Pick). While you're at it, see what A Buckeye Girl Reads, Hanging with Bells, Books 'n' Kisses, and Book Lovers, Inc. think of Alien Diplomacy. Then check out what A.B. Keuser thinks of the book that started it all, Touched by an Alien.

There's lots of great books out this month, and RT Book Reviews, DAW Books Inc., Vampire Book Club, and The Galaxy Express all have great, and different, lists of them.

There's another kind of competition going on, and Kitty and I need your help. The I Smell Sheep gang is at it again, with the 2nd Annual Boogity Boo Awards. Please head over and vote for your favorite replies in 4 categories (including Rapid Response, where I'm nominated, writing as Kitty).

That's enough for today. But never fear, more's coming. So, enjoy the linking, the voting, and, hopefully, the winning, and most of all, enjoy Alien Diplomacy!

Love,
Gini
