Yapping to Win

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and that the start of the week is treating all y'all well. I had a fantastic early release party at the Poisoned Pen, and am sending much love to all the Members of the Alien Collective in Very Good Standing who came and made it so fantastic! But we have a ton coming this week, so let's roll, shall we? I know, I sound so "street" when I say that...

First up, the Alien Collective Blog Tour rolls, and yaps, on! Head on over to Book Girl of Mur-y-Castell for the latest interview and review of Alien Collective along with yet another chance to win a copy of your choice of Books 1-8. Open internationally, ends May 18.

There's a special prize available, here as well as at both Bibliognome (contest ends May 15) and Larissa's Bookish Life  (contest ends May 6), 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!

Alien Collective releases tomorrow, and so do several other great books from DAW. So check out the DAW Books Review and see what else you should be grabbing at the bookstores tomorrow!

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!

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! Hey, even the papers are talking about it!

Last but not least, I lurched into action and have many new things up at Pinterest so if you want to see some pretty pictures of things like covers, who I see as the characters, and more, check it out! And the website has its latest facelift that includes many little new things here and there, should you wish to peruse and see what you may have missed recently. 

That's it for today, but there's more -- MUCH more -- on the way for the rest of the week, including more Blog Tour stops, many more interviews, some live and some written, and, of course, more ways to win. And, you know, a little thing like Alien Collective being available. So, peace out, my li'l gangstas, and let's collectively be winning readers out there!

Love,
Gini
