Premiere Yapping

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a fabulous week last week and an even better weekend. I had a wonderful time in San Diego at Mysterious Galaxy, yapping and signing and getting to visit with so many of the Alien Collective as well as The Outland's Groupies. And it was 40 degrees cooler than home, so that was also kind of fun. But I'm back in the heat, and we're back in the thick of things, so let's get to them!

First off head over to The Fictorians where the yap is large and in charge and talking about all the various ways one can be published these days.

Then, guess what we have for you today? Well, as my Hook Me Up! subscribers already know, we have the World Premiere of the cover and the blurb for Alien vs. Alien over at the Alien Collective Virtual HQ. Check it out! (It's SO awesome!)

Now, after we've feasted our eyes on the beauty that is a cover by the ever-awesome Daniel Dos Santos, let's check out the reviews. See what A.B. Keuser thought of Alien in the Family. Then find out what A Buckeye Girl Reads thought of the first two installments in The Neighborhood series by Anita Ensal (yes, that's also moi). And last but in no way least, see what Long and Short Reviews thought of The Royal Scam and what they thought of Contingency Plan by Anita Ensal (yes, still moi).

Check out the top books for the second half of 2012 that Larissa's Bookish Life is waiting for. And one of my fellow panelists for San Diego Comic-Con, Doyce Testerman has a good teaser write up for our panel at SDCC, which might win the Longest Panel Name Award for the con: Stunted Fools, Scary-Ass Clowns, Enlightened Orangutans and other Devilish Charmers: Humor in Science Fiction and Fantasy.

That's it for today but never fear -- there's more, much more, on the way. So, enjoy the trip around the interwebs, and let's be readers out there!

Love,
Gini
