Author Interview on Spotlight!

As my Hook Me Up! subscribers already know, I have a new interview up on my Spotlight page.

This one's with author Erin Quinn. She's a great writer with a new series out from Berkley Sensation, and she has some great advice for other authors hoping to break in.

There's also a new Playlist up, and more to come! So read Erin's interview and take a look around as we continue to put on new paint and wallpaper. So to speak.

Love,
Gini

The Web Pages, They Are A'Changin'

As my Hook Me Up! subscribers already know, my website is going through a graphic overhaul.

Since my cover art is so awesome, I want it everywhere. So, expect some visual alterations, but, at its core, the site's still chock full of things to read and explore.

In addition to more new content coming as well, in the near future, look for excerpts from "Touched by an Alien" (have I mentioned this is available for pre-order from Amazon.com and Borders.com yet? I have? Let me just mention it again, in case you forgot...) as well as new interviews at Spotlight, new shorts in Expanding Universes, and other up-to-the minute news on all that's going on.

So, pardon our virtual dust!

Love,
Gini

One legal point -- the cover art was created by Daniel Dos Santos and reproductions are only allowed if he gives his permission for them. So if you want to copy and/or post it, BEFORE doing so, please let me know and/or ask his permission directly. Artists and writers have to watch each other's backs on intellectual and created property; it's that professional courtesy thing. Here endeth the legalese.

I Met...I Met...Everybody!

Well, perhaps not quite 'everybody', but it was darned close.

As you know, I attended the 2009 World Fantasy Con in San Jose this past weekend. And what a great weekend it was. I had a fab time -- getting to meet my most awesome editor in person, getting to attend the DAW authors' dinner, getting to hang with my wickedly cool agent...and more!

I got to meet authors. So very many authors. So very many famous authors.

In no particular order (since they all rock beyond measure), here's just a sampling of who I got to meet, shake paws with, and undoubtedly fawn over to the point of being a groupie: Tim Powers, Tad Williams, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Robert Silverberg, L.E. Modesitt, Jr., Gordon Van Gelder, Sherwood Smith, and David Drake. And there were more, so many more. (I didn't want to wash my hands, after all the meetings, but I figured the other authors would appreciate it, so I did. That's me, Ms. Self-Sacrifice.)

I also shamelessly showed off my fantastic cover and shared that "Touched by an Alien" is available right now for pre-order from Amazon.com and Borders.com. Because, you never know -- maybe they'd all like to read a fast and funny science fiction novel loaded with action, adventure and romance. I mean, why not, right?

Of course right.

Love,
Gini
