P.S. No I don't really sleep. Good for you, not so much telemarketers I talk to on extreme caffeine

Did Somebody Say Zombies?

Happy Monday all! As my Hook Me Up! subscribers already know, in an interesting start to the week, I was asked to give an interview to The Debut Author's Blog. And not just any interview. No, the blog owner was clearly channeling our own Sullivan McPig, because my interview revolved around a Zombie Apocalypse. (Yes, you read that right.) Being always up for anything, I gave truthful answers. So head on over and have a read and give the blog some Alien Collective love. Yes, you are all allowed to say, "Braaaaaiiiiiinnnnnnns" somewhere in your posts.

Also, there's a new pic up at Sightings in the Wild. Remember to send in your pics of wherever you see "Touched by an Alien", be it on the bookshelves, your own shelves, in your hot little hands, or wherever, to gini@ginikoch.com so they can go up on the Great Book Wall.

Amber Scott had another awesome idea she shared on Facebook -- creating a special Alien Collective logo for all of the Alien Collective to 'wear' proudly on their website, blogs, FB pages and so on. I'm all over it, and because you ARE the Alien Collective, watch the blog this week, because you're going to have the opportunity to vote on which logo option YOU want to be the Official Badge of the Alien Collective!

Love,
Gini

Paying Aliens Forward

As my Hook Me Up! subscribers already know, I mentioned yesterday that Amber Scott said she had something up her sleeve. Well, she did and does, and all I can say is: WOW. It's out there now on her website. Race on over to The Amber Scott Project, see what she's got going for "Touched by an Alien", give the blog some love, and sound off on the idea. (Which, considering what it is, I feel is beyond amazing.)

Also, remember that the DAW Books Discussion of "Touched by an Alien" is still going on. If you haven't visited Michelle's Book Blog yet to give her review of "Touched by an Alien" some love, stop on by! And Tempting Persephone's awesome review is still live and kicking so visit with Alien Collective love if you haven't yet.

BTW, if you're on Twitter or Facebook and aren't following me yet, um, why not? Find GiniKoch (no space between first and last name) on Twitter, and find me on FB via http://facebook.com/Gini.Koch. Also, if you're on FB but not following my fan page (Hairspray, and Rock 'n' Roll), then you should do so immediately. Just 'cause I do say different things over there than here. Sometimes. You never know when the mood will strike me. And you wouldn't want to miss that, would you?

More to come, I'm sure. And, yes, you're right, I HAVE blogged every day this week. Exciting, innit?

Love,
Gini

More, More, More (How D'Ya Like It?)

Despite the headline, we're not heading into Disco Fever, but rather Alien Fever! As my Hook Me Up! subscribers already know, there's a lot more going on, both here and there.

First up, there's new questions up on the Ask Gini section of Extra Me! Head over to find out even more about me than you might possibly already know. Have a question you want answered? Send it to gini@ginikoch.com and you could see it and the answer up there soon.

Next on our hit parade is a new page here at Gini Central -- Sightings in the Wild. Since it's been taking me forever to actually see a copy of "Touched by an Alien" on an actual bookstore bookshelf, many fans and friends have started taking pity on me and sending pics they've taken of the book. I figure, why not continue a good thing? Take a look at whose pics are immortalized on the Book Wall, and then, hey, go take a pic of your own! Send it to gini@ginikoch.com and we'll get it up there, for all the world to see and marvel at. So far, everyone's taken better pics than I'm personally capable of, so see how your skills stack up!

Moving on to more coolness, there is another awesome reader review for TBAA up at ALPHA Reader. Check it out and show our newest member of the Alien Collective some love!

Finally, a reminder for all in or near the Greater Phoenix Metro Area (lovely in the winter and not nearly as hot as the deepest depths of Hell in the summertime! Paid for by the 'Boost Phoenix City Council Summer Committee') -- this coming weekend, I'll be signing "Touched by an Alien" for all comers on Saturday, April 17th, from 5:45-7:00pm, at the Chaparral Suites in Scottsdale. Info is on Datebook as well, and also somewhere on my Facebook Fan Page. Not on that yet? Friend me on Facebook and look for Hairspray and Rock 'n Roll...and join that particular party, too!

Not on Hook Me Up! yet? I wonder about you, but it's not too late to join. Just send an email to gini@ginikoch.com with Hook Me Up! in the subject line and there you are, all signed up. What could be simpler? That's right, nothing!

There's more to come, so stay tuned!

Love,
Gini
