Fast Blast: All the Goings On This Week/Weekend!

Hey there!

I know I said the next Blog would be next month, but there's a lot going on at the end of this week and weekend, and I don't want all y'all to miss out on anything! 

LIVE GIRL YAPPING All times shown are Eastern.   Thursday, June 24, 8:00-9:00pm, I'm the Nightmare of the Month over at the Atlanta Horror Writers Association's Southern Nightmare Reading Series. Watch live on Facebook at 8pm Eastern Thursday, June 24 (as in, tomorrow or today, depending on when you see this) to see if I manage to read like a normal person (50/50 shot) and watch the recording when it goes up (a few days from now) at the Atlanta HWA website. Friday, June 25 through Sunday, June 27: Liberty Con (Virtual con, FREE admission) My schedule for Friday, June 25th: 5:00-6:00pm Opening Ceremonies 7:00-8:00pm Panel: Gunfight on Europa Station 9:00-10:00pm Reading: From Touched by an Alien or whatever you request (yes, including Aliens Like Us) if you're there. Or we can just hang out and yap. This is live and will not be recorded. My schedule for Saturday, June 26th: 2:00-3:00pm Panel: Meet the Newbies, Part 5 Rest of the Day: "Wandering" the con. Find me on Discord to hang out together! My schedule for Sunday, June 27th:  "Wandering" the con. Find me on Discord to hang out together! 3:00-4:00pm: Closing Ceremonies

So many bookie wookies, so much time to catch up on all of them while waiting for Aliens Like Us. Check out my Bookstore and Bibliography for all the things!

That's it for today but, as always, more's on the way. Have great weeks, stay warm and dry or cool and comfy, depending on where you are in the world, and let's be readers out there! Peace out, my li'l gangstas, and I'll catch you on the flip side! Love, Gini

Hear the Me, September Update, and More!

 Happy September! 

Check it out -- I'm doing a live reading a little later this month, there are books to be bought at any time but right now would be good, and more of all that jazz. Read on for details!

The Yap Reads Aloud! The Horror Writers Association Atlanta Chatper has started a really fun thing -- the Southern Nightmares Reading Series!  This month, in addition to awesome authors like Derek Phillips, Kelley Frank, Lee Murray (all the way from New Zealand!), and Venessa Guinta, I'll be reading as well! Fear not, those afraid of horror -- my story will not be gross or slasher-y in any way. But you'll get to hear me read aloud (sometimes it's great...sometimes I sound like a hyperactive squirrel on drugs...tune in to see which Gini shows up!) and that's got to be worth the -- totally FREE -- price of admission! Details for how to listen live on September 24, 2020 from 8-9pm Eastern time, and where to find the previous months' recordings, and a whole lot more, are at the HWA Atlanta website.    Because I get asked this daily (often multiple times daily)... Yes, Aliens Like Us IS coming, but... No, Aliens Like Us still isn't ready for Prime Time, but... I'm using the Virus Troubles to git 'er dun, so... Fear not, Kitty & Company will be back sooner than you think... I promise. P.S. Despite what you'd think, pre-orders are still mattering a whole lot, so even though it SAYS it's coming in 2050 or 3000 or something, do your girl a solid and pre-order this book as soon as the various retailers allow it, please and thank you! P.P.S. The book isn't available for pre-order in most places at the moment, because it's not back on DAW's schedule yet (because, well, see above). This is the (constant) reminder that, when it IS available, it'll help a LOT if you pre-order it.  So many bookie wookies, so much time to catch up on all of them while waiting for Aliens Like Us. Check out my Bookstore and Bibliography for all the things! Buy these books... I just found out that author Rachel Caine -- a lovely person as well as an awesome writer -- is in hospice. Please buy her books, most of which are on sale right now. Even a few sales will help, and more sales will help, well, more. Random Randomness This is so accurate that I feel personally recognized and attacked at the same time... That's it for today but, never fear, another Update will be arriving next, um, month if I can manage it, and I promise to do my best. In the meantime, stay safe and healthy, remember we're all in this together, be kind to one another, give love and support to all those who are on the front lines in any capacity, and let's be readers out there. Peace out, my li'l gangstas, and I'll catch you on the flip side!
