The Big Reveal

Happy Friday! Hope everyone had a wonderful week and is looking forward to a great weekend. Today's update is relatively short, fairly sweet, with a big surprise at the end, so let's get to it!

First up, we have a couple places showing off the Alien vs. Alien cover, so see what My Para-Hangover and Gizmo's Book Reviews think of it.

Next, if you haven't gotten Alexander Outland: Space Pirate by G.J. Koch (yes, that's moi) yet -- and why not, hmmmm? -- then check out the Walmart.com's Featured Books and you'll see that it's up there AND at a discount, so grab it now!

And now, for the big surprise. I've been teasing this a little bit, in that I've been saying that I have news coming. Well, now's the time and here's the news.

I've got a new series starting, and it officially releases July 2nd, but you can get The Night Beat, Book 1 in my Necropolis Enforcement Files series right now. But, I hear you ask, what's it about? Well, I'll tell you:

The majority of Prosaic City’s residents don’t know that their town exists on top of another place -- Necropolis, City of the Undead. For the most part, the two planes of existence manage to remain separate. And when they don’t, Necropolis Enforcement has beings in place to ensure the general human population remains blithely clueless.

Victoria Wolfe is more than just a policewoman. She’s an undercover werewolf assigned by Necropolis Enforcement to work Prosaic City Police’s Night Beat. Victoria’s comfortable working the shift where all the weird comes out to play, especially since her partner is also her perfect man. Or would be, if Victoria could ever work up the nerve to tell him she isn’t like other girls.

It’s hard enough being a werewolf in disguise, but when a creature from the Depths of Hell shows up in an alley preferred by junkies, bums, and hookers, it’s going to take more than just Victoria’s special gun and werewolf skills to subdue the ancient Sumerian demon. Especially when the demon is merely the start of what appears to be a major takeover attempt by the Prince of Darkness.

Soon all of Necropolis Enforcement’s Undead Brigade is involved in the fight to stop the Prince’s Major Minions from taking over Prosaic City and the rest of the human plane. But it’s Victoria who has to face the Adversary and figure out what intricate plan Lucifer has up his wings before everyone she cares about is destroyed.

In other words, it’s just another day on the Night Beat.

You can get The Night Beat in trade paperback at Amazon, and in ebook formats from Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and Smashwords.

You can also get it from Mysterious Galaxy at San Diego Comic-Con. Which will be starting in less than 2 weeks (and no, I'm not ready, why do you ask?). My schedule is up at the Datebook, so if you're going to the biggest con in the world, be sure to find me!

Now, I know what you're all thinking. No, I do, I really do. You're thinking, "Are you going to be giving away any copies of The Night Beat, Gini?" (See? I'm good at this.) And the answer is, Yes! Starting somewhere between a little while from now and Monday. And, as with all my major contests, it will be open to my Hook Me Up! subscribers only. Not on? Seriously, you're not? Well, now's the time to rectify! Send an email to gini@ginikoch.com with "Hook Me Up!" in the subject line and you'll be in, and able to get your win on!

Have yourselves wonderful weekends, and I'll catch you on the flip side! Peace out, my li'l gangstas, and let's be readers out there!

Love,
Gini
