A New Story

At last, Hidden Secrets is ready to read. I've spent a long time editing, tweaking and getting it just right (hopefully). It's a paranormal mystery, set in a cinema. The story originated as a NaNoWriMo project, but as part of the process it has been altered and extended. Before I began, I never realised writing a mystery was such hard work. In order to keep track of all the threads, I found I had to make much more detailed notes and outlines than usual. I certainly couldn't have written just a f

Weekly Wrap Up (Jan. 16 - Jan. 22)

What to do, what to do, what to do? The company that I work for has a fiscal year of May to April. So our holiday calendar year is also May to April. Turns out that I actually have 4 weeks to use up, due to carryovers. I'm thinking I'm going to carry over 2 again and try to use them in the summer. But now that I'm off this upcoming week, I have nothing really to do . I thought of visiting @Krista in Kentucky, but it is warmer up here right now . That and the promise, "If you show your face

90 Day Genre and Tag Reading - Jan 22, 2022

As part of our effort in 2022 to give more data to authors and readers about what's getting read here at Gay Authors, I am posting this Tag and Genre Reads report. For the numbers shown, please realize that they are tabulated based on the tags and genres associated with each story times the number of times that story is read.  Since all stories can have more than one tag and more than one genre, you can't add together individual numbers and have anything meaningful. One other note... we are

Wintry Prompts 1/21/22

Much of the Eastern United States is being hammered by a massive snowstorm as I write this.  We're getting close to two feet of snow where I live.  So it feels fitting to feature two prompts based on snow.  What's it like where you live?     PT Prompt #15 - Technical Describe a cold, snowy winter to a pen pal who has never seen one.    PT Prompt #16 - Creative  The Gay Snowman.  How does a snowman find love?
