November READ THIS! Author Q&A and More!

Happy Feast to Come!

It's almost Thanksgiving in the U.S. Thanksgiving is my fave holiday for a variety of reasons (none of them having to do with the Pilgrims), but the biggest one is that it's an official day to get together with friends and family and eat a lot of delicious goodies and not feel one bit of guilt about it. However you do or don't celebrate it, I still hope you have an abundance of all good things.

But before the Big Feast we have the READ THIS! Author Q&A, which is only a few days away, PLUS an abundance of more! So let's get right to it, shall we? We shall!

November 2021 READ THIS! Author Q&A November's READ THIS! author Q&A with Liana Brooks will be on Thursday, November 18, 2021 from 9pm-10pm Eastern.

Once in, you'll get to join in the fun of asking authors about their "process" and more. PLUS, one lucky winner will get December's READ THIS! selection for FREE! I know! It's too happy to be true!

The READ THIS! Selection for November 2021 is:  The Day Before By Liana Brooks Gini's Take: Clones, murder, and a twisty plot -- what more can you ask for from a SF Mystery?

She has lived almost everywhere in North America and currently resides in South Carolina.

The Yap, the Yap, the Yap is on Fire! The Yap is large and in charge over at the Blasters and Blades Podcast.

So, take a listen and enjoy!

The Yap is also running over at TG Geeks with my yearly review of The Nightmare Before Christmas. Amazingly enough, there are those who haven't seen it yet. If you're among them, or if you want to see if you agree with moi, check out my review!

More Yapping! That's right, more yapping from me and other awesome authors over at ConTinual. The latest offering is Holidays Real and Imagined wherein I discuss the holiday I've created in the Alien Series among other things. And don't miss these other cool panels I've run the yap on: Breaking Down the Genres Economics in World Building Horror and Romance Sherlockian Mystery Sherlock Returns Christmas in July Holiday Short Reads Hot off the Press #54 Characters in the Public Domain Zombies! There's a whole lot more over at the ConTinual YouTube page, so browse around and get your panel fixes in!

That's it for today but, never fear, another Update, including next month's READ THIS! selection, will be arriving in a couple of weeks! In the meantime, stay safe and healthy, remember we're all in this together, be kind to one another, give love and support to all those who are on the front lines in any capacity, and let's be readers out there. Peace out, my li'l gangstas, and I'll catch all y'all on the flip side! Love, Gini

January's READ THIS! Selection   And Remember: One Lucky Q&A Participant can win it early!

The READ THIS! Selection for January 2021 is:  Lost Signals of the Terran Republic anthology Featuring "The Ellsberg Variations" by Jean Marie Ward

I Read Aloud!  And guess what I read FROM? When asked to do a reading for the start of ConTinual's holiday event, I realized I didn't really have a lot in terms of that theme. So, instead, I decided to do something that it's likely none of you have ever seen or heard me do. That's right: I'm reading aloud from Touched by an Alien for pretty much the first time since 2010 and definitely the first time ever recorded. So, check it out and enjoy!  But wait, that's not all! I'm also on a panel! Check out my panel on Breaking Down the Genres, featuring moi along with awesome authors Gail Martin, Berta Platas, and Patricia Sargeant, hosted by Jason Tongier! Now how much would you pay? Well, there's more, and it's all free! Not on Facebook for some reason? Want more content to fill the hours? Then check out the ConTinual Convention YouTube channel. My panel and reading are not up there yet, but they will be, and in the meantime, there's loads of great content for you to peruse at your leisure! So head over and enjoy!
