Judge Me By My Cover

So let's dive right in and make people angry: I fucking hate most gay fiction book covers and story promo images used online. I detest them. They're shit. I see some ridiculous things, some terrible things, and some things which are generally pathetic. I have beef with people simply taking images from google and shoving them together in paint or Photoshop with no hint of care or artistry. I have issues with shit fonts which look like they were worked in wordart circa 2000. But mostly:   Bolloc

Second Chance Prompts #502 & #507

Brrrr... Anyone want some snow? I have plenty of it that I can give! First snowstorm of the year dropped at least 10 inches on us. Who else has gotten the white fluffy stuff? Anyway, now that the talk of weather is out of the way, it's time for the weekly prompts. Once again, we're taking a look back at two prompts which, for whatever reason, got overlooked. Don't forget to share your prompt responses in the threads. To make it easier, I've linked to both of the threads.   Prompt 502 – Word Li

Update On Where I've Been

All right, I think it's about time I sat down and gave everyone the full rundown of what happened. Over the past two and a half weeks I have lived a romance novel as deep and epic as anything I've ever written. I wouldn't have believed it if it hadn't happened to me, yet here I am, and oh what a story it is. It begins three years ago, before I found myself back in writing again. I was twenty-five, almost twenty-six, and trying to figure out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

A New Underground Railroad- Story Idea

I was chatting with some friends on facebook and got an interesting idea if things do go sour for LGBT in affected areas.   What if a new underground railroad was set up to help runaway gay kids find safe havens in states like Massachusetts or California.   My first thought on this, it is basically illegal to help a child under the age of consent to run away from his/her family, so I pointed out that if this were our solution, we'd likely face some jail time just like traditional abolitionis

Hello guys.   As you all know, I am not out of closet and still think staying there will be better for a while. But sometimes somethings are just occurs as it's God's will.   Yesterday I possibly... accidentally... outed myself to my brother. I was checking on anthology stories and one is on my phone's display. He just took the phone and as unlocked, he looked at the page and almost two are three seconds been there as he has the mobile.

Anthology Special Review: Nature's Wrath

The Anthology Review   Did you miss the posting of the fall anthology? Maybe you saw it but were wondering: Exactly what is an anthology and why should I read it? Anthologies have themes, and contributions have to be self-contained short stories that incorporate that theme in some aspect. This is a chance for authors to be inspired to write something new, especially if they’re struggling with their current project, just need a break, or are trying out writing for the first time. The anthol

It's All About Attitude

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thy .45 and thy ka-bar they comfort me. For I am one of Uncle Sam’s misguided children and I am the worse thing out here on this dark cold night.

Being Fixed - More Issues

Sooooo, went for my pre-op appointment on Thursday. Nurse is concened about my blood pressure. "You need to see your GP, Mr. Landon." Really?   "This likely won't stop your surgery but you need to go." Okay.   So I go home and make an appointment for Friday morning.   Friday. Yes, it's still high, but not as bad as I was at the hospital. "I'd like to get you started on meds, Tim, but you were a walk-in patient and we don't have any history.

Just Some Thoughts On The Election Results . . .

If all goes according to the Constitution, Donald Trump will become the 45th President of these the Divided States of America on Friday, January 20, 2017.   I suppose by the following Monday the order will go out to either the Army Corps of Engineers or some other government entity to begin construction on the Great Wall of America. When we threaten to bomb major cities in Mexico for not being forthcoming with the funds to cover the project is open to speculation because how else will we make

Grace In The Face Of Defeat

Carlos --   Thank you.   Last night, I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country. I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans.   This is not the outcome we wanted or we worked so hard for, and I’m sorry we did not win this election for the values we share and the vision we hold for our country.   But I feel pride and gratitude for this wonderful campaign that we built together –- this vast, diverse, creative, unrul

Thank Goodness Its Over

I hated this election cycle. I couldn't get behind either candidate.   Trump didn't thrill me for lot's of reasons. I don't like populists because they tell you what you want to hear then they do what they want.   Clinton didn't thrill me. The wikileaks stuff and the Veritas videos were enough to make anybody think twice.   So I went with my libertarian roots.     I've finally found a theme song for this election.     Just remember- what YOU do is a lot more important for your

Election Is Over, Now Back To Writing And I'll Offer You A Ray Of Hope

Well, it might be early, but with the tallies as it looks, Donald Trump is going to be our 45th President.   I don't like either candidate, but I do hope the Mexican deportation was hyperbole along with the trade bans and departing NAFTA/NATO/UN were also just campaigning. I am a Republican, but I don't support those positions.   Now let me introduce the Prologue of Book 2: 0's and 1's   https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/0sand1sbk2-webofconceit   I wrote it several months ago, thinkin
