Yapping All Over the World

Happy Hump Day! I hope we all raced out and bought Alien Collective yesterday -- I mean those of us who did not pre-order and therefore just sashayed into a bookstore or turned on their ereader and got the book. (Hint: It's never too early to pre-order. For example, you could pre-order Universal Alien right now and be all set for December. Just sayin'.)

But there's more going on than my pre-order public service announcement, yes there is! First up, the next stop on the Alien Collective Blog Tour is live over at boeklogboek. As with the other stops, you can enter to win your choice of any one of the first 8 books in the series (Touched through Research).

There's a special prize available, at this stop as well as at Bibliognome (contest ends May 15); Book Girl of Mur-y-Castell (contest ends May 18); Gizmo's Reviews; and  A Buckeye Girl Reads (contest ends May 12) 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 entering to win, head over to see what Feeling Fictional thought of Alien Collective.

Next up, it's more interactiveness from moi! Head over to Weird Romantics and check out my podcast with them where you can hear the dulcet tones of my yap. And More Geek Than Gay has their latest video podcast up now, where you can see the me as well as hear the me.

Oh look, it's the reminders section (because not everyone remembers and no one should miss out):

Get the May issue of Penumbra eMagazine so you, too, can read the first Alien Series short available, "Alien on the Runway". The other stories in this issue are da bomb, as well. And, if you want to keep up and get the rest of the Alien series shorts I'll have in Penumbra later this year, get a subscription! If you use 2014Gini when you order, you'll get the subscription for half price AND get the Best Of issues for 2012 and 2013, too! Offer ends August 1, and the May issue is available right now, so don't wait, get your deal, and your monthly great reading, going today! 


Also, the bidding is going strong at the Brenda Novak auction. Check out my fantastic Alien Pack -- and bid early and often!

SoCal, as in San Diego and the South Bay Area, I will be in you! Make your plans to see the me, and get your signed copies of Alien Collective and all the other bookie wookies, at Mysterious Galaxy San Diego, on Saturday, May 10, from 10am-5pm, I'll be speaking and signing from 1-2pm, but will be around all day; and/or see the me at Mysterious Galaxy Redondo Beach, from 7:30-8:30pm on Monday, May 12. A good time shall be had by all at each location, so don't miss out!

That's it for today, but, as always, more's on the way. Seriously, more, more, more. So, how do you like it, my li'l gangstas? Peace out and let's be winning readers of Alien Collective out there!

Love,
Gini
