Friday Yapping

Happy Friday! Well, it's been, as threatened, a very hectic week in Cyber Lande (we're gonna trademark that, 'cause the 'e' just makes it all seem so much classier than it really is and we're all about the illusions at Team Gini). And we're not really slowing down today, so let's keep on rolling!

First up, the yap is again running nonstop over at Much Cheaper Than Therapy. Leave a comment, get entered to win a signed, personalized copy of "Alien Tango", too. Contest runs through the weekend so don't miss out!

Then, check out The Galaxy Express for the SFR news for December. In addition to a listing of new science fiction romance releases, there's some funny tidbits strewn throughout...see if you can find the one about me and some alligators.

Next, check out what Book Lovers, Inc. thinks of "Alien Proliferation".

Speaking of "Alien Proliferation", there's one day left to enter the contest over at the Alien Collective Virtual HQ for a chance to win one of five copies of the book! And it's not too late to pre-order your copy before Tuesday's release. (Yes, it's really that close to release day!) And remember to pre-order "Alien Diplomacy" -- yes, I swear to you, pre-orders matter. A lot.

Remember that the first chapter of "Alien Proliferation" is live over at Deathless Prose.

That's it for today and this week. But never fear, there's more, so much more, coming next week -- including the much heralded, long awaited, Combo-Con Contest. It'll be for Hook Me Up! subscribers only, though, so if you want a chance to win tons of prizes, including a LOT of books, you need to join NOW. Send an email to gini@ginikoch.com with "Hook Me Up!" in the subject line and you'll be in and all set.

So, let's get all set for next week, which includes the actual, official release of "Alien Proliferation". Demand it by name from your local bookstores, have a wonderful weekend, and I'll catch you on the flip side! Peace out, li'l ganstas!

Love,
Gini

Christopher Yaps it Up

Welcome to December! I warned you -- it's Busy Busy Week in Cyber Lande. So, let's keep it rolling, shall we?

First up, as the subject line shares and my Hook Me Up! subscribers already know, check out an exclusive interview with Christopher over at Bibliophilic Book Blog and find out what three things he'd want to have on a desert island.

Next, head over to see what My 5 Monkeys thought of "Alien Proliferation". (There are some great pics of some A-Cs there, too. ;-D)

Then see what great releases are coming from DAW Books over at the DAW Books Community and check out another good listing of upcoming releases at the Vampire Book Club.

Last days to enter the Alien Proliferation Extravaganza over at the Alien Collective Virtual HQ. Don't miss out on 5 (that's right, FIVE) chances to win!

Early registration for the Desert Dreams Writer's Conference ends at the end of this month. If you're an aspiring author, or know someone who is, this is a great conference to attend. Tons of successful published authors, along with great agents and editors, combine to make it a weekend that will positively impact your writing career.

That's all for today, other than the standard request to pre-order "Alien Proliferation" (yes, yes, even though it releases on Tuesday...pre-orders still matter...oh, and pre-order "Alien Diplomacy" while you're there ;-D). Enjoy the reading and have a great day!

Love,
Gini

Totally Yapping

Happy Hump Day! As my Hook Me Up! subscribers already know, it's a calmer day over here in Cyber Lande (we added the "e" to make it sound classier) than it was yesterday, but there's still plenty going on. So, while we all get ready for the happy downward slide for the week, let's get to it!

First up, I'm yapping about writing funny over at Tote Bags 'n' Blogs.

Then check out the Fresh Fiction review of "Alien Proliferation".

More guests, more fun coming to Phoenix Comicon over Memorial Day Weekend per the latest from New Times. Make plans now to be there!

See? Short and sweet today. But never fear, more's just around the corner. So enjoy the links and the reading and I'll yap atcha again tomorrow!

Love,
Gini
