More Winning, Really?

Happy Friday! More winning? Can it be true? It can be, it can be. But first, a word from our sponsors. Oh, okay, not sponsors, so much as more news and reviews. So, let's get to it, and then you'll get the new winning news!

First off, check out the latest review of "The Royal Scam" at Night Owl Reviews. Then head over to see what Reading the Paranormal thought of "Alien Tango". Bounce over to see what Smash Attack Reads! thought of "Alien in the Family". Finally, check out who Amber Scott Books stalks, and why.

New In-Person Signing:
I'll be at Changing Hands Bookstore in Tempe, AZ on Wednesday, Nov. 2nd, as part of a group signing for "A Mother's Wisdom". If you'll be in the area, come on by and bring any other books of mine you have and I'll happily sign them, too!

Now, what, again, I know you've all been waiting for. What "more" in terms of "winning" am I talking about? Well...

The UPS man showed up with MORE ARCs of "Alien Proliferation". Yes! It's TRUE! So, I'm adding in another ARC to the current contest -- that's FOUR copies up for grabs, meaning the price of playing poker just got better, so to speak. But only for those on Hook Me Up! Not on? Now's the time. Send an email to gini@ginikoch.com with "Hook Me Up!' in the subject line, and we'll send the instructions for how to enter.

Get out there, win stuff, read stuff, have a wonderful weekend, and I'll catch you on the flip side. Peace out, li'l gangstas!

Love,
Gini

Tuesday Roundup

Hope everyone's weekend and dreaded Monday were great. Mine was busy -- writing, editing, more writing. So you know I loved it! But business is afoot, so let's get caught up.

First up, a head's up. I got a lovely box o' swag from my awesome agent. What will I be doing with it? Giving it away, of course! Another Combo-Con contest is in the making, as always for Hook Me Up! only. Not on Hook Me Up! yet? Rectify by sending an email to gini@ginikoch.com with "Hook Me Up!" in the subject line. Do it now, because details about the next contest will be coming in the next few weeks. Will this contest include swag from at least 3 cons? It will! Will it, if my deadlines overcome me and it launches more than a couple weeks away, also include books from World Fantasy Con? You even have to ask?

Then check out what Bibliognome and My 5 Monkeys had in their recent mail. Yes, they were both winners in my Comic-Con 2011 contest. Yes, the Combo-Con contest will also be loaded with cool goodies. I know, I know, I'm a giver, me.

Next on the hit parade, check out what Reading the Paranormal and Feeling Fictional had to say about "Touched by an Alien".

Penumbra Magazine's first issue is on pre-order now. I, of course, suggest getting it. But I suggest getting Penumbra Issue 2 even more. Why? A story by one of my (many) pen names is in it -- "Field Trip", by J.C. Koch. J.C. writes horror, so pre-order the mag and get a taste of the creepy.

Speaking of pre-orders, don't forget to pre-order "Alien Proliferation" and "Alien Diplomacy" anywhere books are sold. While you're at it, head over to Musa Publishing and pre-order "The Royal Scam". (Hey, trust me, the pre-orders matter.)

Next on the In-Person docket:
Foxy Dahlings Book Club - Wed., Sept. 21, Gilbert, AZ
Mysterious Galaxy Books - Wed., Oct. 26, San Diego, CA

That's it for today, but more's to come on the horizon. So have yourselves a wonderful week, and let's be readers out there!

Love,
Gini
