Yapping Into the Weekend

Happy Friday! It's almost the weekend! It's almost the weekend! And look at all the things we have going on to send you merrily into those nice days.

First off, head over to Much Cheaper Than Therapy where the yap is large and in charge...and a secret about moi is revealed. (Ooooh. LOL) There's also a chance to win a signed, personalized copy of Touched by an Alien, Alien Tango, or Alien in the Family, open internationally, of course.

Speaking of winning, check out what Short & Sweet Reviews is offering up as part of the Showers of Books Giveaway Hop, also open internationally. And remember that you still have time to enter to win a copy of Alexander Outland: Space Pirate from My Bookish Ways.

Next up, let's check out some reviews. See what Reading Amidst the Chaos, Book Girl of Mur-y-Castell, and Bring on the Books thought of Alien Diplomacy.

Now, head over to Ex Libris where she's asked authors to chime in on one of the hot buttons of the writing world these days -- To Comment or Not to Comment? Then see what My World...in words and pages is looking forward to.

Last, but in no way least, check out what my BFF Marsheila Rockwell's eldest is doing as his HS Senior Project -- Finding a Cure for Max. Great cause, great kids, so if you can give a little, please do. And please pass it along, so he can meet and hopefully exceed his goal.

That's it for now, but, as always, more's coming soon. So, have a great weekend, let's be readers out there, and I'll catch you on the flip side. Peace out, my li'l gangstas!

Love,
Gini

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
