Dastardly (Change the D to a B) Deeds

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and that you're all eyeing the start to another great weekend coming up. Desert Dreams was awesome, and I'll give you the full round up on that later on, but not today. No, as my Hook Me Up! subscribers already know, today we have a lot going on and I want you all to get right to it!

First up, head over to Bastard Books where I'm running the show today with my take on funny...and where I also take on Sir Bastard and his evil ways. Truly, not to be missed. AND you can enter to win a copy of Alexander Outland: Space Pirate, by G.J. Koch (oh yes, that's moi), so definitely don't delay. The winning IS open internationally, too!

Next up, it's time for some reviews. See why Romance Junkies gave Alien Diplomacy a Top Pick, and check out what Bibliognome thought of Alien Diplomacy in a dual review. And see how Alien Proliferation scored as a Top Choice at Flamingnet.

Then, check out what books My 5 Monkeys would most like to see turned into movies or TV shows.

Reminder that I'll be at Phoenix Comicon, where new celeb guests are being added what seems like every day, later this month, over Memorial Day Weekend. The schedule's still being adjusted, but rest assured, I'll be there the entire time. AND, it's looking like if YOU'RE there, you'll be able to score an EARLY COPY of Alexander Outland: Space Pirate. Yes! I know! The bookstore and Night Shade Books are working it out right now, but it looks quite likely that those coming to the con can score my next bookie wookie early AND get it signed by me at the same time. It's too happy to be true! So hopefully it remains true. I will, as always, keep all of you posted.

That's it for today, but never fear, more's coming just around the corner. So, have a great one and let's remember to be readers out there!

Love,
Gini

The Yap Comes Back

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend and a good start to the week. My time at Mysterious Galaxy was great! (Waves to all Alien Collective Members in Very Good Standing who attended.) But now, I'm back and we're back at it, so let's get on with the business at hand!

First off, head over to Ex Libris, where in addition to getting more info about moi and more chat with some of the characters, you can also get entered to win a limited edition 2012 Gini Calendar.

Next up, we've got some new reviews. Check out the joint review of "Alien Proliferation" over at The Book Pushers. Then see what Paranormal Romance Fanatic and the Romance Junkies also thought of "Alien Proliferation. And see what Dirty Lab Coat thought of "Alien Tango".

Then check out what Pearls Cast Before a McPig thought of "When Josie Comes Home", and what Fictitious Musings thought of "The Royal Scam".

After that, check out which are the Most Anticipated Books of 2012 for ALPHA Reader, see what Larissa's Bookish Life voted as the Best Newest in a Series for 2011, and see what My 5 Monkeys chose as her Top 7 Books of 2011.

Now, head over and check out a couple of articles. Heather Massey's talking Men Are Really From Mars: Alien Lover Fantasies over at Heroes and Heartbreakers. And Donna Del Grosso is Talkin' 'Bout Writing Crises over at Plot Mamas.

The Combo-Con Contest is still going strong, but if you're not on Hook Me Up! it won't matter who wins. So, join today so you don't miss out. Send an email to gini@ginikoch.com with "Hook Me Up!" in the subject line, and get in on the win!

That's it for today. There's more coming, but that should hold y'all for a while! So, until then, enjoy the links, have a great week, and let's be readers out there!

Love,
Gini

Vamping it Up on a Tuesday

As my Hook Me Up! subscribers already know, today is "here's all the stuff I forgot to tell you about on Monday" day!

First off, there's another awesome review of "Touched by an Alien" over at The Romance Junkies. Check it out!

Next up, this made me laugh, so I figure it'll make y'all laugh too. See what's for sale at eBay, snicker quietly and/or shake your heads, and then remember that you can get those and more FOR FREE (well, for postage) from my Free Stuff page.

But I know that's not really what y'all are reading this blog for, at least, not THIS week. You're reading it to find out what's coming next. (Hint: All the paranormal lovers out there -- pay attention.) And to be able to enter to win my fab Vamp Pack, which is the featured Swag Pack of the Day today.

Oh, I'd love to tell you, of course. And the next blog post WILL tell you. But unless you're on Hook Me Up!, you won't have a chance to win. Anything. At all. So, why not save yourself that pain and agony and join up? Send an email to gini@ginikoch.com with "Hook Me Up!" in the subject line, and you'll be in. Need more incentive? Check out my Win Stuff page to see what you could be winning.

Love,
Gini
