No Lie, It's Release Day!

Happy Friday!

This isn't an April Fool's joke -- Plush Life is now on sale everywhere! Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, and CreateSpace. So, don't delay, get your copy today!

Also, alt.sherlock.holmes, featuring my novella, "A Study in Starlets", will release soon (like April 7th soon), and pre-orders are now available for both hard copy as well as ebooks!

And, of course, it's never too late or too early to do your girl a solid and pre-order Camp Alien and Alien Nation now, from your favorite online or physical retailer.

Then check out what Alien Romances thought of Alien in Chief. After that, check out the interview with one of my editors on MECH: Age of Steel over at Geek Dad. Then see what The Books That Time Forgot thinks of The X-Files: Trust No One, featuring my story, "Sewers".

After scoring and pre-scoring all the bookie wookies, head over to Slice of SciFi and see what I think of Agent Carter, Season Two and Lucifer. Agree? Disagree? Aren't sure? Join the discussion over at Slice!

And now for some science! Science Alert shares that the evidence for Planet Nine from Outer Space is growing.

That's it for today, and while more will be on the way, so will I. I'm heading off next week for the chicklet's wedding meaning I will incommunicado for probably a good couple of weeks. Follow me on Facebook if you want current happenings, since that's probably the only place I'll be checking in for the next week or two. Otherwise, when I get back it's going to be contest time, so get ready to rumble! Of course, the contest will be for my Hook Me Up! subscribers only. Not part of the In List yet? Rectify! Send an email to gini@ginikoch.com with "Hook Me Up!" in the subject line and you'll be in and all ready for the winning that's just around the corner!

Until then, let's be NOLA visiting readers out there. Peace out, my li'l gangstas, and I'll catch you on the flip side!

Love,
Gini

Festival Bound!

Happy Friday! Well, I'm heading off to Tucson for the weekend, but before I go, there's something you have to see!

Check out the awesome cover for the X-Files anthology my story "Sewers" is in, Trust No One, coming April 7, you can pre-order the audio version at Amazon right now. (No idea when book pre-orders will be available.)

Speaking of pre-orders, The Disciple and Other Stories of the Paranormal by moi writing as Jemma Chase is available for pre-order from Amazon. The book will release on March 20th.

The Kickstarter for Unidentified Funny Objects 4 is still underway and going strong, but it's not funded yet! Check it out -- it's going to be a good one. Also, I have one tuckerization left available. You'll be in "Support Your Local Alien", the Alien series short that's the next adventure for the characters from my steampunk universe first introduced in "A Clockwork Alien", part of the Clockwork Universe: Steampunk vs. Zombies anthology.

I'll be signing that, Unidentified Funny Objects 3, and Two Hundred and Twenty-One Baker Streets, not to mention all the Alien series, including Universal Alien, and more bookie wookies besides, at the Tucson Festival of Books this weekend, Saturday March 14 and Sunday March 15. When not on panels or at signings, you can find me at Booth #106.

My panel and signing schedule is:
--Saturday, March 14, 4-5pm - Making Magic Real: Suspending Reader Disbelief, Integrated Learning Center Room 130; signing immediately after Sales and Signing Area - Integrated Learning Center  
--Sunday, March 15, 11:30am-12:30 pm - I Got Nuthin' – Battling Writer's Block, Integrated Learning Center Room 141; signing immediately after Sales and Signing Area - Integrated Learning Center  
--Sunday, March 15, 2:30-3:30pm - Paranormal, Urban Fantasy, and Sci-Fi, Koffler Room 216; signing immediately after Sales and Signing Area - Koffler Patio

But I can't leave you without some science! Per Huff Post Science, there's a diamond planet out there. Oh, the story possibilities this creates! Also, Scientific American shares that we've got one heck of a new and improved particle accelerator on the way. This will give scientists a way to study things we haven't been able to before (and, you know, potentially get to say hi to ACE, Algar, and Sandy and the Superconsciousness Seven).

Well, that's it for today, but as always, more's on the way. So enjoy the weekend, hope to see many of you at the Festival, and all of you be universally happy readers out there! Peace out, my li'l gangstas, and I'll catch you on the flip side!

Love,
Gini
