Yappin' with McPigs & Kaiju

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and that your weeks are starting out well. Mine's starting out busy, so let's get to it, shall we?

First up, as my Hook Me Up! subscribers already know, the yap is large and in charge over at Pearls Cast Before a McPig, where there's not only an interview with moi, but also two chances to win a copy of either Alien Proliferation, Alien Diplomacy, or Alien vs. Alien. Be sure to leave a comment at the blog to get entered for the second contest!


And that's not all. Hit Between Dreams and Reality to see what she thought of Alien Tango AND to get entered to win either Touched by an Alien, Alien Tango, or Alien in the Family. And if you'd like, check out her review in French.

Speaking of reviews, head over and see what Bitten By Books thought of Alien vs. Alien and Alien in the House.




Have you backed the Kaiju Rising: Age of Monsters Kickstarter yet? If not, what are you waiting for? Lots of great horror authors, including moi writing as J.C. Koch, will be in this one, and there are fantastic stretch goal prizes as well. And, whether or not you've funded, check out the latest coolness -- Kaiju Plushies! AND there's a Backer Badge on the same page -- we just keep on with the giving! If you've already pledged, don't worry, it's simple to add on "Cookie Monster". If you haven't, well, don't delay, fund today! Godzilla, Cookie Monster, and their cronies say it's the right thing to do!

In Person Stuff & Upcoming Events:
For all Central and Northern Arizona peeps, I'll be presenting Writing from the Hindbrain and Archetypes, Stereotypes & Cliches at the NARWA meeting on this Saturday, September 21, from 11am-2pm, at the Prescott Golf & Country Club, 1030 Prescott Country Club Blvd., Dewey, AZ 86327.

Free Fall Writers Workshop, Saturday, November 9th, from 9:30-4:30
Come hear a dozen successful, published authors, including moi, talk about the how-tos and the why-tos of writing. I'll be presenting Finding Your Voice, and also be part of the What Does it Take to Get Happily Published Today? panel. This is a must attend for all aspiring authors and readers who just want to know more about the process and the business...and, seriously, while we could easily charge hundreds of dollars for this event and it would be more than worth it, we mean it when we say that it's FREE. At the Scottsdale Civic Center Library, Scottsdale, AZ.

Mysterious Galaxy Eat! Read! Party! Holiday Event in San Diego
I'll be running the yap and signing Alien Research at the annual Mysterious Galaxy San Diego Holiday Party on Saturday, December 7th, from 3pm-6pm.

Mysterious Galaxy Holiday Event in Redondo Beach
I'll be running the yap and signing Alien Research at the Mysterious Galaxy Redondo Beach Holiday Party on Sunday, December 8th, from 3pm-5pm. (First ever RB appearance, btw, so don't miss it!)

I'll be the Local Author Guest of Honor at DarkCon, in Phoenix, AZ, January 9-12, 2014. Don't miss out on my first real official and not last minute Guest of Honor stint. There are a few more VIP tickets left, and there's going to be a whole Mini Gini Con at this event, so, truly, don't miss this one!

I'll be one of the authors at Coastal Magic, in Daytona Beach, FL, February 6-9, 2014. This will be one of my only, if not THE only, southern & east coast appearances in 2014, so don't miss the chance to come see the me, along with a TROVE of other awesome paranormal and urban fantasy authors.

I have another January announcement coming up in the near future, and many more appearances in 2014, but for now, that's it for today 'cause, well, I have all that writing to get back to. But, in addition to that other announcement, as always, there's more on the way. So, enjoy the week ahead and let's be readers out there. Peace out, my li'l gangstas, and I'll catch you on the flip side!

Love,
Gini
