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

The education system is fundamentally flawed.

The statement that is the title is an opinion. To determine if a system is flawed, the purpose of the system must first be established. Once it's established, and only then, can the determination be made if it's functioning correctly or not. So, this prompts the question: What is the purpose of the education system? To educate, of course! But the deeper and real question is, to teach what?   Currently, the education system roughly works like this: Elementary school teaches you basic English

Congratulation New Jersey on being the 14th State

I want to congratulate the state on being the 14th to have gay marriage.   Gov. Christie stopped his legal challenge, so the way is now clear.   Technically, I know he's not a gay rights' supporter or even advocate, but at the very least, he stopped fighting it and let the course of history be the judge. It might cost him the Republican Nomination for President, but he has my praise at least for being a leader with some balls to take on things he doesn't agree with, but his constituents over

Carolina style BBQ sauce

You can buy all sorts of BBQ sauce at your local Kroger and lot's of it is pretty good.

eBook Review: Light by Nathan Burgoine

Light by Nathan Burgoine My rating: 4 of 5 stars   Light surprised me. I was expecting something a bit more intellectual, technical, I guess you might say. The cover was very 80s-esque, but the plot is very much within the current trend toward superhero fiction. The blurb really plays up the story's overall plot, and the style, so I wasn't disappointed, just a little surprised at the contrast between the cover and actual story.   I'm not going to go over the plot. It's covered really well i

Chapter 3 is Live, No politics in this entry :P

http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/story/w-l/Causality/4   Time to get into the case, but first, we must get into a little more complexity.   There's a lot of set up here and some interesting things to think about for the next few chapters.   You get to learn more about Sid, Alex, and Patrick, plus flow through their psychological issues surrounding the past, present, and future   Also, since I was told I should not use too many non-english scripts too much, I had to adjust the story.

Writing Prompts #270 & #271

Ah, all the little terrors are knocking on my door. No, not trick or treaters, but people demanding I fork over the new prompts. Halloween is two weeks off yet, but some people really want their prompts.   Prompt 270 – Creative Tag – First Line “Because, I’m leaving you.”   Prompt 271 – Creative Tag – The Murder You had been invited for a vacation, and happy to get away from your daily life quickly took it.

Tea Party Movement and the Red Guard of the Cultural Revolution

Side Note before my comparison:   I have seriously been considering moving to Australia (Graeme, I am looking at Perth, don't worry I won't move next door. ) My sister is over there now and the job opportunities are more lucrative for Accountants, plus I have a certain interest in Australian boys. Still it is only exploratory at the moment   Besides, I think I can adjust to Australian Politics far better than Canadian (We won't have Hockey fist fights) _____________________   As a Chin

How the US Government in theory works?

There was a funny conversation I had today about future Republican Presidential nominees. Ted Cruz would probably be the worst and long shot in the mix, while New Jersey Governor Christie has a shot.   The conversation then went into a tangent on why the Democrats are not putting more pressure on Christie; it is a Blue state, Republicans are ebbing in the polls, and Democrats could win back the NJ Governor's mansion?   I contended that the Democratic Party understands something about RealPol

Featured Story: Porcupines

Huh?!? Wut? Wacky Wednesday AND Featured Story? YES! Because we used this Monday's blog for a review of reviews (um - ya, I think I said that right) - we didn't want to miss featuring a story this week. Joann414 was gracious enough to lend her reviewing talents to give us a look at Porcupines by Author Cole Matthews. As we mentioned Monday, we always need more reviews as well as good informative articles, such as writing tips or author interviews. If you have an idea you want to work on, contact

As I go to sleep today

My mother called yesterday to relay some comments my aunts had to say about me. I was well-mannered, so helpful, they said. They told my mom that she raised me right. As I have been at times compared to a permanently boiling over teakettle, I find these comments both amusing and a bit worrying. As blunt and basically arrogant as I am, the only kind of person that would think I had good manners must have an interesting view of the world. But, that's my family. I tell people I'm the nice, mellow,
