It's The Start of the Fun Holidays!
I make no secret about the fact that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, but I do love Halloween, and all the things leading up to my birthday in January (hey, *I* count that as a holiday). There's a lot to be said for everyone cosplaying at the same time. ;-D
And All Cosplay's Night, aka Halloween, is right around the corner, but first we have the READ THIS! Author Q&A THIS Thursday, and it's going to be a fun one, and more, so let's get to it, shall we? We shall!
It's Preorder Time!
Meet your doubles? Check. Terrify the bad guys with your rage? Done and dusted. Save the day and stop the intergalactic war? Well…Kitty’s working on it…
Being tossed into an alternate universe can be hard. Being tossed into one that’s drastically different from your own can be harder. Kitty & Company are handling it…so far. But they’re about to face the toughest tests yet…
Aliens Like Them releases December 8, 2026 and is now available for preorder! As a mention, publishers love to see preorders -- it shows them that they made the right choice to take on a book or a series. Yes, that's a hint to preorder early and often. You can preorder from these fine distributors:
Amazon: ebook, (trade paperback and hardback will be available on release day)
B&N.com: ebook, trade paperback, and trophy hardback
Kobo: ebook
Apple Books: ebook
A reminder: You cannot preorder physical books from Barnes & Noble's physical stores (different back end systems, why ask why), only via B&N.com.
It's Alive!
It’s not easy being a Woman of the Multiverse, but Kitty’s definitely the Megalomaniac Girl for the job.
After a mad dash around the galaxy, saving the day in various important ways and expanding the Annocusal Empire left and right, all Kitty & Company want to do is go home. But that’s not in the particular hand they’ve been dealt...
Amazon -- ebook, trade paperback, and Hardback
B&N.com -- ebook, trade paperback, and Trophy Hardback
Kobo -- ebook
Apple Books -- ebook
A reminder that reviews are hugely vital and if you enjoyed (or didn't - any review is a good review, seriously) the bookie wookie (and any of the others) a review is the best way to show it!

The READ THIS! Selection for October 2026 is:
Gini's Take: A fun and funny LitRPG novel that will suck you in whether you've ever read any kind of game lit before or not, loaded with characters you'll care about, and one super sarcastic banana slug (yes, really).
About the Author: Reck (they/them) writes character-driven LitRPG and fantasy packed with humor, adventure, and the occasional existential crisis disguised as slime. Their stories celebrate unlikely heroes proving that persistence, found family, and a healthy disregard for self-preservation can overcome almost anything. Find them at https://dragontomespublishing.com/authors/reck-well/ |

IT'S MORE
PREORDER TIME!
If you missed supporting the Kickstarter for this cool anthology, no worries -- you can preorder it now! WERE-2 is loaded with cool non-werewolf stories, including "Missy the Were-Pomeranian vs. The Komodo" which you Missy fans do NOT want to miss! Don't delay, preorder today!
READ OUT LOUD!
Audio Books Are Here and Coming!
In addition to the audiobooks from Skyboat and Graphic Audio, Ginger Blue has begun getting other books into audio. Check out all the selections and see what you want to hear!
Click on the images to go directly to the audiobooks!
And yes, it's true, the Alien Series is finally getting a full audio release, starting with Alien Tango!
PLEASE NOTE: Amazon is not yet linking the Ginger Blue Alien Series audio titles to the Touched by an Alien audiobook, likely because their system is still holding onto old DAW information. The easiest way to get to an audiobook of mine is to click on any of the covers below, as you'll go directly to the audiobook. Looking for the series in any other audio manner seems to be unlikely to work.
So many bookie wookies, so much time to catch up on all of them while waiting for Aliens Like Them, Deck The Falls, and the next READ THIS! selection. Check out my Bookstore for all the things!
That's it for today, but, never fear, another Update, including details for the next 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, hope this year continues to give all of you much joy and goodness, and let's be readers out there. Peace out, my li'l gangstas, aka my Rabid Raccoons, and I'll catch all y'all on the flip side!
Love, Gini
