Winning Announcments

Happy Hump Day! The contest for Alien Tango's galley is closed, and that means we have a winner to be announced. We also have another winner to announce, so if you've entered at all during the Tidy My Office contest, you want to keep reading.

For those who don't know what's going on, and who might not realize that this week's contest is for the marked up galley of Alien in the Family, that's because the contest is for Hook Me Up! only. So if you're not on, now's the time. Send an email with "Hook Me Up!" in the subject line to gini@ginikoch.com and you'll be in and sent the contest rules.

In between entering and, for some of you, winning, let's check out some of what's going on in the Greater Blogosphere. Check out what My 5 Monkeys thought of Alien vs. Alien. See what Into the Dreaming thought of Touched by an Alien. Then go watch the lastest vlog over at The Book Tart where she shows off her latest acquisitions. And last but in no way least, head over to author Deb Erelene's page, where she's interviewing author Paige Daniels who has some lovely things to say about moi and the Alien series. *sniff*

Finish up by hitting Terribleminds, author Chuck Wendig's page, and check out some truths about writing and publishing. It's interesting for those of you who just like to know what authors go through, and it's vital for any of you aspiring to this cray-cray life we call "write".

I'm going into the Slice of SciFi studio later this week, and I can't wait! If you missed it somehow, don't forget to check out my first ever live Slice Sirius XM radio webcast over at Slice of SciFi. The Slice gang LOVES comments and feedback, and they really love calls. Calls get on the air. Hint, hint. Calls about your fave new guest 'caster get on the air, too. Hint, double hint. Call the Feedback Number 206-339-TREK (8735) to get the melodious sounds of your voice onto the airwaves, or leave a comment on any of the current Slice of SciFi on the Radio features and you, like me, could be sharing your thoughts with the world!

And now, for what you've all been waiting for -- the winner of the Alien Tango! So, without further ado, I give you this week's winner:

Bryan Teague

Note to our winner: You have until Sunday, February 2nd to check in by sending me an email with your name (first and last) and your full mailing address. If I don't hear from you, the Gods of Random will demand a sacrifice and a new winner will be chosen.


Why is this important? Because, sadly, last week's winner did NOT check in. And you know what that means? I know you do. Yes! The Gods of Random have snatched back their prize and demanded a new sacrifice. 

Meaning we have a new winner for the galley of Touched by an Alien. So, the new winner is:

Margaret in ON Canada

Note to our winner: As with this week's other winner, you have until Sunday, February 2nd to check in by sending me an email with your name (first and last) and your full mailing address. If I don't hear from you, the Gods of Random will demand a sacrifice and a new winner will be chosen.


That's it for today, but as always, more's on the way. So enjoy the downward slide towards the weekend, and let's be readers out there! Peace out, my li'l gangstas, and I'll catch you on the flip side!

Love,
Gini
