    Weekly Wrap Up (Sept. 15 - Sept. 21)

    By wildone

    First thing first, I really need anyone who is thinking to enter our yearly Anthology, please see Val's Thursday blog and if you fingers haven't started typing, get them going! As you read this, I am indisposed. Read into that what you want . But I'm up by a lake in the mountains looking at the colours change for fall.  So next week in the northern hemisphere, we flip into fall, autumn, whatever you like to call it. Down under the equator, they are about to hit spring   What is y

Ga Promising Author, Thorn Wilde!

Today we begin to replenish the Promising Author ranks with the new promotion of Thorn Wilde! Thorn's first completed novel on GA, Nemesis, is the 2013 RCA winner for a story by a new author and had 179 reviews. Fortunately, for fans of the novel completed last spring, Thorn is also posting a sequel, Soulmates Never Die, that is already over 40k in length. If novels aren't your thing, you can still read one of Thorn's many short stories--from one chapter shorts, to anthologies, to fanfictions.

Windows, Linux and OSX... Oh My!

Well, I've recently upgraded both my laptop and tablet to Windows 8.1 (well, 8.1 update 1 but as we all know it's a service pack so nice try Microsoft) and I'm finding that I'm liking the revision that they did. It brought back more of the desktop experience which is what a lot of people like and missed with the original Windows 8. So to me Microsoft, with the latest update, turned it into Windows 7 with a brand new start menu interface.   Now don't get me wrong I am by no means a Microsoft fa

Baseball is back

I came across an article today that may not make any sense to someone unfamiliar with baseball, but makes perfect sense to me.   In essence the argument is made that baseball is all about the anticipation. But the author in the article cited does a much better job than I ever could:     http://theweek.com/article/index/259600/yes-baseball-is-boring-thats-exactly-what-makes-it-so-great   I would only add that the pace of the game allows the fans to interact more and perhaps this is why

eBook Review: Straight Shooter by Heidi Belleau

Straight Shooter by Heidi Belleau   It's out! I thought I'd share this review today, though I read Straight Shooter a bit back as an ARC. What can I say? I never pass up a chance to get a Heidi Belleau story. At first, I was pretty leery after I read the description. For all my open-mindedness about kinks, humiliation just doesn't do it for me. It makes me pretty uncomfortable, actually, because the shades of denigration usually feel more damaging than anything else. Plus, I somehow get embar

Csr April Feature: Your Alpha, My Mate By Wolfwriter

The year keeps marching right along! For April I thought I'd feature one of our newer authors. Wolfwriter recently finished her novel Your Alpha, My Mate. I thought this was the perfect time to feature a paranormal story too! I hope you enjoy the story, then come back at the end of the month for the discussion on April 28th! Your Alpha, My Mate by Wolfwriter   Description: Jamie has always been picked on and seen as the weakest member of the Cajun Red Pack. He is a seventeen y

Weekly Wrap Up!

It's been quite the week this week in the Gay Authors News Blog. Hope everyone had a great weekend and that the upcoming week treats everyone well. Now, lets look back at what happened in the blog over the last week!   On Monday we had the CSR Discussion for this months book club choice, Shepherd's Crook by K.C. K.C. also visited the blog for a live Q & A and answered some questions about the story. If you've read his story, why don't you stop on by and share your thoughts with the other r

News from the Front

In Mississippi our wise politicians have passed a much needed Religious Freedom Law.   Now you don't have to do anything that offends your religion.   Since slavery is biblical, I'm wondering when that is going to start back up.   Anyhow- here's a link to local paper :>> http://www.clarionledger.com/viewart/20140403/NEWS010504/304030023/Gov-Bryant-signs-religious-practices-bill   Here is my counter attack published in the same paper today.       Well... the war continues.

Mozzila, gay marriage and power of social networks

http://abcnews.go.com/Business/mozilla-ceo-resigns-calif-gay-marriage-ban-campaign/story?id=23181711   Mozzila's CEO had to step down after it was revealed that he supported Proposition 8 banning gay marriage in California. Not only had he face the opposition from employees, the last nail in his coffin most probably came from online dating site OKCupid that blocked access to their website via Firefox.

The Communion

There are many stages of making love First there is the Look A Look, that which can melt the stars and feed a million souls   Then the Unveiling Like that of the most precious of the presents A slow sensuous unwrap   The Indulgence is next Deliberate movements across the landscape Appraising the scenery of touch   Then comes the Immaculate kiss A divine surrender of a watchful heart And the rest is a blur of motions of negative spaces   Until finally past the soaring heights of the steep

Writing Prompts #314 & #315

Ahh, it's Friday, and for many, that means it's the end of the work week. For all of us here at Gay Authors, that means something else though, it means it's time for two new prompts from GA's Prompt Guru, Comicfan. Hope you enjoy these prompts and that they inspire you to write a little something, and if you do, don't forget to share your responses in the prompt forum!!   Prompt 314 – Creative Tag – Sleeping Beauty Two months ago a rare find in Mexico happened.

He's back again! K.C.'s taking over the blog this week... but now as our newest Signature Author!

Ask An Author #15

Once again, a new month is here. It's hard to believe that it's already April, but with the new month, comes a monthly feature that I think everyone looks forward to. A big thank you goes out to Dark for taking the time to put together our "Ask An Author" feature. I hope you enjoy! Ask an Author #15   Welcome back to another quirky question and answer session with your favorite authors!   In AtA #14, we had questions for authors Comicality, Stellar, and dkstories.   In AtA #15, we h

My coming back story...

As you may or may not know I've been absent from GA for a bit and recently came back and not only re-connected with people but am making new friends in the process.   Awhile back I was working as a youth support specialist for at risk (read really really super bad) youth. At first the job was good and I was able to work with some but as time went on, the general trend of the kids changed. About a year into the job I was involved in what we call an intervention where we have to basically get an

Love, Exclusion and Identity.

Whom we love is as much a statement about those whom we reject. In the glut of romantic fiction out there, a lot of books gloss over the rejection inherent in the romantic love because really why do we want to feel sad for the poor sod when there's a ooey gooey love to gush over. We gloss it over. We find ways to minimize it. Or we turn the rejected character into an asshole, someone who deserved it, a crazy idiot, or worse, an other.   This brings me back to the book I was reading Bitter Eden

Shame on Tennessee

Since we can celebrate gay marriage in the UK in the Lounge but not shame the mandatory counselling sponsored by the Bachmanns (apparently they are politicians, I would call them differently), I had to migrate this report about a new vomit inducing part of public school curriculum in Tennessee to this blog: http://nationalrepor...inning-may-1st/ Just to quote: "We bring the gay demons out of these individuals so they can become who god intended them to be." “A child has to choose to become g

Csr Discussion Day: Shepherd's Crook By K.c.

For March's CSR book selection we had K.C.'s Shepherd's Crook. If you haven't read it yet, go take a look. The interview could have some spoilers, though, so don't read on if you don't want to ruin the surprise. I hope everyone who has read the story will share their thoughts with K.C. today. Also... He's coming back between 8:00 and 10:00 PM, EST for a live chat!!You can ask him your questions about him, his writing, Shepherd's Crook, his current work or future work. If you can't make it then,

Bitter Eden

Through NetGalley I got a copy of Bitter Eden by Tatamkhulu Afrika. I'm still working my way through it, but I would definitely recommend it if you're looking high brow queer fiction.. Yeah, yeah. it's literary fiction, but this is the literary fiction done right. Deep and vivaciously haunting with its imagery, yet without the dreary pretentiousness or unlikable characters associated with literary fiction. No, the book isn't easy to read, but you would want to slow down anyway to enjoy its every

Thorn's Quick & Easy Guacamole

A simple recipe today. Guacamole is my favourite dip, and it's so easy to make. No taco night is complete without it. You can do it in a food processor if you like, but if the avocado is ripe enough and you don't mind it a bit chunky, you can literally just mash it with a fork.     Ingredients:   2 ripe avocados 1 tomato lemon juice paprika powder chilli powder OR hot chilli sauce (sriracha or the like)     1. Slice the avocados in half and remove the pits. Use a spoon to dig the avo

Weekly Wrap Up!

I'm running a bit behind with this weeks Weekly Wrap Up as I kind of fell asleep on the couch, but here it is none the less. I hope everyone had a great week and that you all are having a relaxing weekend to gear up for the coming week. Now, how about I get on with the wrap up!   The review for this week's Featured Story was "The Lake" by Dolores Esteban. "The Lake" was one of the entries into the recent Spring Anthology and was enjoyed by not only our reviewer, Jo Ann, but based on the commen

Losing my fun Aunt

It is funny how families spread out across a country how you wish you had more memories of certain family members than what you had the opportunity to, after they pass away.   Once such person was my Auntie Nancy who recently passed away.   I remember meeting her when I was about 5 years old when she started dating my Dad's brother when he moved out West from Central Canada and ended up boarding at my Mom's parents house (confusing I know).   I remember that wedding when Auntie Nancy becam

So I should be sleeping, because I'm supposed to be getting up in the morning and going to compete, only, despite the time spent training and helping to set up tonight, i really don't want to go. I always loved to complete, especially when i was younger, but these last few years, the thought of having to go out there in a ring in front of people leaves me sitting up the night before in tears, trying to think of a million and one excuses to just skip out and go hide some where.

Television Without Pity To Close It's Doors on May 31st

The iconic pop culture media website, TWOP, is closing its door.It's a total bummer. I grew up on posting on the site. I started posting there when I was 14 years old, in the spring of 2000. That is literally half of my life. I remember back in those days, my posts would likely revolve around the WB line-up...Dawson's Creek, Buffy, Popular (THAT was a big one for me because the board there was really active), Roswell (which was able to have 3 seasons instead of just 1 because the members of then
