    Secret Author Contest-Forbidden Is... Revealed? Nooooo.

    By Cia

    Ha! Did you think it was time to share the stories and authors? No!! Total clickbait. Heehee! That's right, time to vote on your favorite! Now, to be fair, it would be ideal to have read ALL the stories. Can you vote without having read them? YES! Because this is about your favorite use of our theme of Forbidden Knowledge that you read in this year's Secret Author Forbidden Knowledge stories. Pick a SINGLE title, this isn't your top three. It doesn't even have to be your favorite overall st

Busted, chapter 11

[insert witty and self-deprecating comment here]   Joe was still getting the blood off his hands when Steve pulled up in front of his apartment. He'd been trying to get it off since they left and it was still there, under his nails and between the ridges of his fingers.   "Gah, this stuff gets everywhere," Joe said as he pitched the wipe, now a light pink, into the trash bag to join the two dozen others he'd used.   "Yeah, it can be pretty bad," Steve said. "Listen, it was a little late to

A Busy 3 Day Weekend

After pulling a double shift on Monday and working 2nd shift the rest of the week, it was nice to have a three day. It was a busy weekend tho. I spent a good part of the time editing 4 chapters for one author and a couple of new ones for Nick.   I know that sounds like a lot of work, but it was fun to do.   I also spent some time having a couple in depth chat's with an author friend of mine about his latest chapter release. Now it's time to reread Book 2 of The Scrolls of Icaria from the be

Time In A Bottle

Ok, so it's update time again I just sent chapter one of my next story, Time In A Bottle, off to Talonrider. it's still in Beta Mode, so I haven't completed all of the changes to the first chapter that I plan on making. On the other hand, I personally feel like it's off to a good start, and that things are going to flow relatively smooth once I get the little bugs worked out. This story's much different than anything I've ever written before. I wasn't too sure i really wanted to tackle some

Busted, chapter 10

[Hey, Joe's good with kids. Go figure. Can't tell if this is the start or the end of a sub-plot...]   Joe put his best comforting face on, and tried to project as much reassurance as he could. He didn't have much experience with kids, but in his years in HR he'd had to deal with hysterical employees, psychotic episodes, stalking ex-husbands, and once helped deliver a baby. He hoped he could handle this.   "Hey there," he said quietly. The girl shrank back as far as she could, trapped between

Busted, chapter 9

[And the plot thickens. Or at least congeals, but good enough]   Inside the apartment building things were busy. Detective Russell didn't need anyone to tell him where things had happened. The blood smears on the open door of unit 1-B and the forensic team inside it were more than enough.   There was a uniformed officer just inside the door to the apartment. Jensen. Rookie. He was looking green, but doing his best to hold it together.   "What happened?" Russell asked.   "Three fatalities

not a blog...

I'm grumpy.   Davey cheered me up. "I love you" with a Scottish accent does wonders for my mood it seems.   My daughter dreamed a vampire bit me and killed me, and I am trying to soothe her by telling her that in Com's story GFD, the vampires aren't bad or scary.   I can see my son's face again, took him for a haircut.   I actually wrote a page and a half so FBTE 23 is coming soon... hang on for me Altimexis. I really am trying...   My angel listens, more than that, he cares... so than

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

I don't totally hate snow

Actually, I hate snow, now. In earlier times, way back in the days before color TV, automatic transmissions, and multiplex theatres. When computers were took up whole basements, reprogramming involved rewiring the silly things, and they broke down for the stupidest reasons like one of the gears lost a tooth. Yeah, way back then. Well, I did like snow, but I was a kid and what kid doesn

Happy Birthday to me

So, I just celebrated my 29th birthday ... well, I wouldn't exactly say "celebrate," cause I hate the idea of getting older. But as us Buddhists believe, it is inevitable ... old age, sickness, death, suffering, etc.   I've been totally captivated by the whole "Miracle in Missouri" story, and was so happy to hear that they found those two boys. I saw the older one (who was missing for 4 1/2 years!) today on "Oprah" ... you could see in his eyes that he's been through hell. I even cried when he

[Y'know, this wasn't here when I started the story. And Joe's probably going to get in so much trouble. Oh, yeah, I'm practicing cliff-hangers. They seem useful things.]   Detective Russell pulled up into the apartment complex driveway. Like a lot of complexes in town, it was a collection of small buildings. These were brick, six apartments per three story building. There were twenty of the things lined up ten on a side. The complex itself was relatively new, maybe thirty years old at most, bu

Advice, please!

I haven't blogged in an age and a half - at least here. That's one of the problems with blogs. They're almost too easy to set up.   I'm trying to decide quite how 'out' I want to be. What I mean is that 'Camy' is obviously a pen name/pseudonym - and one I'm very happy with, and proud of.   I picked it on the spur of the moment when I signed up at GA, just over a year ago. I'm known as Camy everywhere I go within the confines of 'gay writing'. However Camy is not me. Camy is the me that came

ITFB, chapter one

In case you missed the prologue, it's in the last blog entry.           In The Fish Bowl Chapter One   Thanks to Jim for editing!   Breath fogged his cold hands as he attempted to warm them with his mouth and his thin cut of a nose felt numb beneath his foggy eyes. Snow fell in heavy flakes that covered the streets until they grew to the height of the sidewalks as he passed through the near-empty alleyway like a slow-moving drunk; in part because of the bulk of his bulky black snowsui

[And at the end... plot sign! Yay, something besides romance, sexual tension, and hints of madcap farce. 'Cause, let's be honest, who wants to read about sex anyway? I know it bores you guys to tears...]   They drove in silence for a few minutes, into one of the dingier sections of town. Detective Russell parallel parked in front of a ratty pizza restaurant and got out. Joe followed, feeling nervous and uncomfortable. He was very over-dressed for the neighborhood.   There was no way Joe was

One of my turns

So I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I've come to the following conclusions.......Bodega Bay is almost finished. I'm not sure how many chapters it has left, but it's not more than 5. Ok, that's not one of the conclusions...I knew that already. The first conclusion is this......I'm devoting all of my energy to Staking My Claim once Bodega Bay is finished, then I'm going to start something new that's definitely going to be unlike anything you've ever read from me(btw, that's the other conclu

Chronicles of My Life

No Regrets

My friend Claire called today. I've mentioned her in a few other entries. She's awesome; at various phases in my life she's definitely been my best friend. She also holds the distinction of being the only girl I was ever in love with. I'm often attracted to girls, sometimes even a tad enamored, but usually there's no real emotional/romantic connection. Except for her, I wasn't even particularly attracted to her, but I still considered spending my life with her. Anyway it's only fair I supp

I heard a song today that inspired an entire character. There was something funny and terrible about it all at the same time. Terrible, I guess because of what the songs about, but funny in the way the artist sings it. This is also one of those things I can

Okay so we are currently waiting on this Tooth Fairy chick to come and leave us something under our pillow... SINCE MY SON LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH TODAY!!!   So I pick him up from school today and eventually, as if it was no big deal at all, he says, "Oh, so my tooth fell out today."   Me: OH MY GOSH!! Were you in class when it fell out?   Him: Yeah.   Me: Did you cry? (Cause my daughter ALWAYS cried)   Him: Nah.   Me: Did it bleed?   Him: Meh, a little.   Me: Awwwwwww, lemme s

[Look, forward motion of what I think may possibly be a plot. Or a sub-plot. Something like that. And a title!]   Detective Russell parked his car in one of the empty handicapped spots in front of the Maple Building. He wasn't sure what, past the sign labeling it, distinguished it from the Oak, Spruce, Chestnut, or Birch Buildings he'd passed, but he supposed the cookie-cutter office buildings required cookie cutter names.   And they were all cookie-cutter, a half dozen buildings, three stor

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Good I woke up at 3:00 this morning and lay in bed hoping the reflux would just go away and leave me alone. I always get this when I have too much cheap tequila, a picadillo tamale, a hazelnut mocha, and a slice of marionberry pie. Mostly, though, I think it's the marionberry pie because I can have the other three and nothing happens. After thirty minutes of feeling like I was going to vomit (I DO NOT vomit. I've vomited less than ten times in my life and have no desire to do it again.) I g

Hobbit Galaxies?

Ooops, wrong hobbits.     New 'Hobbit' Galaxies Discovered Around Milky Way By Ker Than, Staff Writer for Space.com January 15, 2007 Source Link   Researchers from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-II) announced the discovery of eight new dwarf galaxies, seven of them satellites orbiting the Milky Way. They resemble systems cannibalized by the Milky Way billions of years ago and help close the gap between the observed number of dwarf satellites and theoretical predictions. Credit:
