The Grunge Era Playlist

So, grunge is something I remember and love from my childhood. Here are some great Grunge Era tunes. (I deem the Grunge Era as being about 1991 to 1996, with the Grunge Era officially over when Hanson and Spice Girls ruled the charts in 1997.)   1.   2.   3.   4.   5.   6.   7.   8.

That Boy With the Far Away Eyes

That Boy with the Far Away Eyes     I was drivin’ home late Saturday night Through Pearl, Mississippi Listening to bluegrass music on the redneck radio station, And the cowboy said: “You know you should always have your .45 by your side” And I was so pleased to be informed of this That I shot twenty stop signs in his honour, Thank you Joe-Bob, thank you lord   I had an arrangement to met a boy, and I was kind of late And I thought by the time I got there he’d be off, He’d be off wit

Zombies: My Halloween Story

I will freely admit, a certain green fellow on this forum made was on my mind, when I chose to write a Zombie story.   I have seen many zombie movies in recent years; they are the best social commentary devices, second only to Star Trek strangely enough Currently Walking Dead has the best cast, writers, and overall feel to a zombie story and I know I can't equal it in a short story, so I want to go another quieter route for a zombie story.   I know Jamessavik is writing Case Black, so I am

Reduced Stress

The last few months have been interesting to say the least.   For those of you who don't know, I work for a County owned and operated Nursing Home in southeastern Pennsylvania. When the current set of Commissioners took office, they slowly began down sizing and consolidating different departments. The even sold off one of the County office buildings only to turn around and lease it back. I think the main reason was to get out from under the debt from the purchase incurred by a previous adminis

Csr Discussion Day: Wrangler Butts By Reddirtwriter

A story with Butts in the title? Where can you go wrong? LOL Check out this month's interview with the author of Wrangler Butts and share your thoughts about his story. Don't forget to vote for next month's story too! Without further ado... I bring you: RedDirtWriter.   I love to get to know a bit more about our authors, so how about we start this interview with a little bit about you? What don’t we know? Okay, let me think. I’m not too unique, or at least I don’t think I am. I guess I’d say t

5 Years Gone- Dan Kincaid

This week marks the 5th anniversary of the passing of a very lovely online friend and member of the community, author Dan Kincaid/Sam. (He died, I believe, on either October 25th of 2008, or October 26th.) I only had the privilege of corresponding with him for a few months before he died, but I'm really glad we did. Back in those days, Adam and I were...well, let's just say that we had somewhat of a personality clash going on, and Sam was really good at being a mediator.   He was a very swe

Vampires

Vampires. Since they started to glitter you think you read it all.   I loved/feared vampires since I secretly watched Christopher Lee with my best friend Natasha and hid under the comforter when it became too much. I think I was eight. Count von Count was one of my favorite Muppets. Later I got the shivers watching Count Orlok, tried to imitate Bela Lugosi's accent and wow how I loved 'Lost Boys'.   I could go on and on, telling you about 'Blade', Vlad the Impaler, Irish myths or even admit

Batman Under the Red Hood Review: An example on what American Animated movies can still do versus their Live action counterparts

Based on my reviews, yes I am a Batman and DC fanboy (I will do Marvel from time to time, I like the Hulk storyline and Marvel CCivil War storyline between Capt. America vs. Iron Man's factions)   However, when it comes to Cartoons, I prefer DC and here's a good example why: Batman: Under the Red Hood   The wiki has spoilers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_Under_the_Red_Hood   The Plot summary is very obvious to most Comic book readers, but the short version is simple: the 2nd Robi

Lou Reed Died Today

Unless you're an old hippie or druggie you probably don't remember Lou Reed.   He was a rock and roll bad ass before it was cool. He wrote songs about dope and cross dressers back when Jimmy Morrison was banned from doing concerts because they thought he shook his Johnson at them.       I'm limited by the number of videos I can post but there's a couple more you can look up:   Sweet Jane, Pale Blue Eyes and Heroin all by the Velvet Underground.

Weekly Wrap Up!

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend! Now it's time to take a look back at the week here at the Gay Authors News Blog.   On Monday we took at a look at a free eBook by Stephanie L Danielson called "For The Heart of Phillip". Louis Harris provided us a wonderful review that certainly garnered some new interest in this wonderful story. If you haven't already read his review, check it out and if the story sounds interesting to you, then you can download it in GA's eb

This is a giant leep forwards. I think it's excellent, superb, and amazing that an musical artist chose to show the plight in a way for intersex people, children. What an amazing music video. Please check it out and be inspired.

I don't know what title to put here

Well I've had 3 counseling sessions already - everything is now open with my counselor. I'm comfortable with the confidentiality agreement but beyond that...i'm hitting a brick wall. I've even gone and assigned an "alias" for the gay thing. Something I can type - funny enough - but can't say aloud. Yet.   She has me focus on breathing exercises (taking deep breaths to return to the present moment instead of going back and forth from past to future thoughts) which is effective in the very very

eBook Review: Illumination by Rowan Speedwell

Illumination by Rowan Speedwell My rating: 4 of 5 stars   Illumination was a fascinating eBook. I was worried the subject matter would revolve around the day in and day out of a rock star. While it did matter, quite a bit, Adam wasn't really the focus of this eBook.   Miles is, by far, the driving character behind the story, though we don't meet him first. He is complex, and has a personality behind the personality. I don't want to give away any of the lovely complexities in this story via s

Retro Cartoon Review: BTAS Appointment in Crime Alley, the perfect episode

I thought I would review a classic, something many of today's kids and even GA's readers will not know about.   Here is a link to the show, but there are commercials (Still worth it for the wonderful episode and story)   http://www.thewb.com/shows/batman-the-animated-series/appointment-in-crime-alley/f3d24d04-d421-4790-bb86-eb6e72336ae2   General Plot (Spoilers):   Daggett, a corrupt real estate developer, is hatching a plan to blow up a slum called Crime Alley, which is home to thugs, d

Ok, Just One More

Hey All--   So, after re-reading Chapters 12 & 13, I decided that I would post Chapter 13 before my 'hiatus' as it is a more fun chapter and is a good ending point. Chapter 14 starts a very long week for the boys (5 chapters and counting) so those who have complained about me 'rushing' things...be careful what you wish for.   Another reason I am posting this chapter is it's the first one to really deal with the rescue and that has been on my mind a lot in recent weeks (more than usual).

Wacky Wednesday: Interview With Lisa

Recently I put out a call for people to do interviews for the blog. We have featured many interviews throughout the life of the blog, ranging from the staff here at GA, to the authors. Todays interview isn't with one of the many authors here at Gay Authors, she is actually one of the prolific reviewers on site who also carries the title of Editor. Please enjoy this interview with Lisa and thank you Percy for conducting the interview! Interview with Lisa   Interviewer: Percy   GA was s
