Featured Story : Heart of the Tree by Graeme

Wow, I'm being worked to the bone here 😮 2 blogs in 2 days  So when I heard one of our Review Team Members was heading down under, I thought I might take a stab at writing my first review for the Review Team. I need to warn you, I usually only copy and paste the amazing work the Team does.  So with @chris191070 in Australia, I thought I would review one of my favourite stories from there.        Heart of the Tree by Graeme   Reviewer: Wildone Status: Compl

Memorial

Geron Kees

It is my sad duty to report the passing of a beloved GA community member and author, Geron Kees.  He passed away in May, after a lengthy illness. Geron joined GA ten years ago and posted 70 stories since then, including the popular Charlie Boone series.  He was a regular contributor to forum discussions and actively engaged with his readers.  His positivity and kindness were reflected in his writing and interactions with other GA members, and were something everyone who knew him commented on.

Howdy ho everyone! My apologies, went to bed last night totally forgetting to do the Wrap Up 😮 I hope Myr doesn't fire me or deduct my pay . Due to this and an early breakfast with friends, I'm going to have to make this a short one.  I do have a question though... I'm kind of stuck in my teen years or when you first got a job in your twenties, I like to stay up really late on weekends.

We had an interesting discussion last week with the Weekly Wrap Up.

Over 1000 wildfires going on right now   I wouldn't go camping now unless it was on a river or lake shore.  So back to one of the parts of the camping theme, I mentioned about swimming.

Secret Author Event-Forbidden Knowledge Due!

Now, there has been some.... misinformation out there. 15th... 16th... what was the true date? Was someone trying to keep your favorite author from playing this game or you from knowing all the juicy details of the forbidden truths hidden in this year's entries by changing it up from blog post to blog post?  I will admit nothing! Neither will the team! But since there MAY have been some confusion out there, I will accept late stories on the 16th if they come in while I *coughs* the Fo

That's right, to whet your whistle, so to speak, this month we're looking back at last year's submissions to the Secret Author contest! Authors maybe aren't sure how to incorporate a Secret/Forbidden topic into the story or just how tangential it can be, these stories could be the inspiration needed (you never know which new author may take up the mantle for the contest once they have a reference!)
