Collective Offerings

Happy Friday! Hope everyone had a wonderful week and that the weekend is full of fun and rest and all that good stuff. The weekend is full of book signing for me, and I hope to see a lot of you at The Poisoned Pen on this Saturday, May 3, from 2-3pm. Prizes, fun, and Alien Collective three days earlier than you can get it anywhere else! So, come see the me and get your bookie wookie before everyone else can!

But that's not all that's going on. No, indeed, we have the Alien Collective Blog Tour in full swing! Head over to Bibliognome and see what she thought of Alien Collective. Then, check out her stop on the Alien Collective Blog Tour & Giveaway where there's a little interview with moi AND winning. That's right, you can enter to win your choice of one of any of the first 8 books in the series, signed, personalized, and with accompanying swag. Open internationally.

And the same contest is still going on at Larissa's Bookish Life as well, so don't miss out on even more chances to win!

There's a special prize, at both Bibliognome and Larissa's Bookish Life, but it's for my Hook Me Up! Subscribers only. Not on? Perhaps now's the time to rectify that mistake. Send an email to gini@ginikoch.com with "Hook Me Up!" in the subject line and you'll be in and sent the special instructions!

After you've entered to win, check out what Bring on the Books thought of Random Musings from the Funny Girl.

But wait, there's more! The May issue of Penumbra eMagazine went on sale yesterday, and within its pages is the first Alien Series short available, aka the story of When Reader Met Gower, aka "Alien on the Runway". Want more reasons to get this issue? Check out the Big News -- complete with, yes, more yapping from moi -- at the Penumbra blog.

So, have you bought your subscription to Penumbra eMagazine yet? If not, what are you waiting for? I've read this issue and every story in it is great. But that's just a reason to get May's issue, right? BUT, I have two more shorts coming in Penumbra this year. And, sure, you could just buy each issue separately for $3.99 each.

Still need a little more convincing? Well, how about this -- there's a special deal going. Right now, you can get The Gini Special -- instead of paying $3.99 an issue, you'll get a year's subscription for just $24.00; that's half price. But there's more! You'll also get the Best of Penumbra 2012 AND 2013. That's a full year's subscription for half price plus two free Best Of collections and three Alien series shorts that will only be available in Penumbra...as long as you use this coupon code (exactly as shown here) when you order: 2014Gini This offer is good only through August 1, 2014, so don't miss out and get your subscription going today! Right now. Hurry up, before the stories get read by everyone other than you.

Oh, and lest we forget, the bidding opened up at the Brenda Novak auction yesterday, and will be going on all month. Check out what my offering is -- a fantastic Alien Pack -- and bid early and often!

Lest we forget #2 -- Have you gotten Touched by an Alien in audio format yet? Well, if not, join the aural party! Available from Audible, Amazon, Tantor Audio, and other fine retailers all over.

Lest we forget #3 -- I'll be in SoCal for the rest of my mini book tour. Saturday, May 10 at Mysterious Galaxy San Diego, party goes from 10am-5pm, I'll be speaking and signing from 1-2pm, but will be around all day. Monday, May 12 at Mysterious Galaxy Redondo Beach, from 7:30-8:30pm.

That's it for today but, trust me, more, a lot more, is on the way. So enjoy the downward slide into the weekend, see some of you on Saturday, enjoy "Alien on the Runway" as an appetizer for Alien Collective, and let's be winning readers out there! Peace out, my li'l gangstas, and I'll catch you on the flip side!

Love,
Gini
