I Want YOU...to Vote!

As my Hook Me Up! subscribers already know, we have something requiring your participation. That's right, The Alien Collective is getting a badge of honor, and you all get to vote on which of the three (I must say AWESOME) options we go with. I love them all, so vote for what you want to see as the badge you can put on your blog and/or website, what'll come on bookplates, etc. (Smoochies to Lisa Dovichi for, as always, coming up with the cool designs.)

Here are your three options:I'm taking votes via email (gini@ginikoch.com) or right here on the blog, so make sure you vote early -- if you don't vote, you can't complain if your choice loses or crow if your choice wins, after all. Voting will stay open through the weekend, and I'll announce the winning design shortly thereafter.

There's also another new pic up on Sightings in the Wild. Note that this one's really and truly IN the wild. Remember to keep those pics coming. Wherever you spy "Touched by an Alien" -- be it in the bookstore, on your own bookshelf, in your hot little hands, etc. -- snap a shot, send it on, see it immortalized. (Well, so to speak.)

And, if you haven't stopped by to see what my plans for how to survive a Zombie Apocalypse are, you need to do so now! Head on over to The Debut Author's Blog and show it some Alien Collective love!

Not on Hook Me Up! yet? Well, you want to be. There are contests and giveaways coming up that will be for Hook Me Up! subscribers only. So, send an email to gini@ginikoch.com with "Hook Me Up!" in the subject line, and you'll be all set to get your mitts on the cool goodies coming down!

There's a lot more on the way, so watch this space!

Love,
Gini

Did Somebody Say Zombies?

Happy Monday all! As my Hook Me Up! subscribers already know, in an interesting start to the week, I was asked to give an interview to The Debut Author's Blog. And not just any interview. No, the blog owner was clearly channeling our own Sullivan McPig, because my interview revolved around a Zombie Apocalypse. (Yes, you read that right.) Being always up for anything, I gave truthful answers. So head on over and have a read and give the blog some Alien Collective love. Yes, you are all allowed to say, "Braaaaaiiiiiinnnnnnns" somewhere in your posts.

Also, there's a new pic up at Sightings in the Wild. Remember to send in your pics of wherever you see "Touched by an Alien", be it on the bookshelves, your own shelves, in your hot little hands, or wherever, to gini@ginikoch.com so they can go up on the Great Book Wall.

Amber Scott had another awesome idea she shared on Facebook -- creating a special Alien Collective logo for all of the Alien Collective to 'wear' proudly on their website, blogs, FB pages and so on. I'm all over it, and because you ARE the Alien Collective, watch the blog this week, because you're going to have the opportunity to vote on which logo option YOU want to be the Official Badge of the Alien Collective!

Love,
Gini
