And Now For Something A Little Different...

Hey There! It's time for an announcement -- I have a brand new romantic suspense novel, Plush Life, coming April 1, 2016.

Lifelong friends Tom and Meggie must pretend to be married at a New Orleans retreat to land the make-or-break account their small company needs, but when Meggie is kidnapped by her ex-fiancé, more than just their business is endangered.

Plush Life is available for electronic pre-order right now at Amazon and Smashwords, so, pre-order it today! It will be available at BandN.com and in physical format on April 1.

Speaking of pre-orders, they're what matters tons and tons to authors (indie and traditional, and I'm both) and publishers. So, in addition to Plush Life, remember that pre-orders for Camp Alien and Alien Nation, from your favorite bookstore or online retailer, will be doing your girl a total solid. Also, pre-orders for alt.sherlock.holmes: Three New Visions of the World's Great Detective are also available right now. Physical format will be available for this, too, coming in April.

Remember that the Suvudu Cage Matches for 2016 are live now. Voting is open until Thursday, April 10th, so get your votes in for all the matches, but especially mine, Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg versus Mrs. Coulter and her daemon.

Remember also that the Kickstarter for Unidentified Funny Objects 5 is still going strong, and you can still get in on it. I still have one tuckerization hanging on -- will you be immortalized in "The Problem With Poofs"? Or will you just get an awesome anthology of funny SF/F before everyone else? Or some other award level, 'cause there are lots of them? Only you know, so head over and see what tickles your fancy!

That's it for today, but as always, more's on they way. So enjoy the week and let's be pre-ordering readers out there! Peace out, my li'l gangstas, and I'll catch you on the flip side!

Love,
Gini

It's Time To Vote - For Characters You Can Believe In!

Happy Monday! It's a busy week this week, so let's get right to all the things going on today.

First up, the Suvudu Cage Match of 2016 has begun and Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg need your votes! There are plenty of other cage matches going on, too, so check them all out and have some fun!

Next, the Kickstarter for Unidentified Funny Objects 5 is still going strong. If you haven't pledged yet to get this cool anthology of funny science fiction and fantasy funded yet, don't miss out! There are lots of cool reward levels available and I still have one tuckerization left, so if you want to be in a story of mine, specifically in "The Problem With Poofs" set in my Steampunk Alien universe, it's time to head on over and take a looksee!

A reminder that the Tucson Festival of Books is happening this weekend. I'll be at Booth 108 for most of the weekend, but will be moderating the very cool Kick-Ass Women of Science Fiction panel on Saturday, March 12, 2:30pm to 3:30pm, Optical Sciences 410.

That's it for today, but as always, more's on the way. So let's be Cage Match voting and Kickstarter supporting readers out there! Peace out, my li'l gangstas, and I'll catch you on the flip side!

Love,
Gini

So This Is Coming...

Happy Friday!

Just a quick one today, to let you know that the Suvudu Cage Match for 2016 is coming next week. This year it's duos taking on duos. And I'm representing! Not with Kitty and Company, but with Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. As all y'all know by now, this is my fave series and I adore Granny and Nanny, so I'm thrilled to have them as "mine" for this battle.

In the first bracket they're up against Mrs. Coulter and her daemon from the His Dark Materials series. I see Granny and Nanny winning handily, BUT in order for that to happen, YOU need to vote!

If Granny and Nanny win this round I'll be "following" them through to the next ones. So, if you want to see more takes on how I see the battles going, please vote for them! And, vote for your faves in all the other brackets, too! There's lots of chatter going on over at Tor.com about this, too, so if you've got thoughts about the battles, share them there, too!

That's it for today, so let's be Granny and Nanny voting readers out there! Peace out, my li'l gangstas, and I'll catch you on the flip side!

Love,
Gini
