June Signature Feature: Stranger at the Grave by Parker Owens

A short read for a long month! This will give you more time to make those connections count.  Length: 4,430 Description: A sad visit to a new grave; an unknown mourner. What does it mean? A reader said: Stranger at the Grave is a poignant short story centering around themes of familial neglect and the consequent loss. It gives us pause to consider what is truly important in life and why it is that we seem so absorbed in the trivia of career over family.  ~Doha   If

May Signature Feature: Never Too Late to Change by northie

I can't believe it's already May! We're looking forward to the change of the season, so I wanted to feature another story that is all about change. Have you read this story in the past? There's a whole series for you to enjoy!  Length: 42,145 Description: A lonely, older man has spent his life hiding his sexuality. One day, by chance, this changes. Then a young man arrives to help him widen his horizons, as he slowly comes to terms with life as a gay man. A Reader said: A he

April Signature Author Excerpt: Boss Nanny by Mrsgnomie

This month I'm featuring a cute family story... because I can! Not to say there isn't a good bit of drama, hanky panky, and some intrigue in there... because there is! But come on, squishy baby thighs. So cute! (as long as no one leaves the baby at my house either  ) Did you catch Monday's feature ad? Check that out or this excerpt if you haven't read Mrsgnomie's story, Boss Nanny!  Want to read more? Click here

April Signature Author Feature: Boss Nanny by Mrsgnomie

Another month, another author and great story for readers to enjoy. This story was posted a few years back, so newer readers might have missed it. Let's get some new likes, comments, and reviews for @Mrsgnomie story, Boss Nanny!  Length: 118,545 Description: It's college. Matt should be worrying about classes, friends, and parties. Not a baby. At least his supervisor is cool when he shows up to work with his infant brother in tow. The owner on the other hand? Matt's sure he'll be

March Signature Feature: The Wandering Kodama by Mikiesboy

I'm keeping up with the fantasy theme this month with the Signature feature but again, not going with those rainbows and golden coins! Nope, you get to visit another fantasy genre with Mikiesboy's Anthology entry last year. Did you enjoy this story then? Why not now, if you missed it!  Length: 4,402 Description: Every cedar holds a spirit. Every spirit longs for home.  When a young Japanese cedar sapling is transported to a Canadian zoo for a new “Trees of the World” exhibit

December Signature Excerpt: Elias by Krista

Did you catch Monday's feature? Have you read Krista's story? Raven1 said it wasn't spooky... but like many of Krista's readers, thinks her writing itself is enthralling. Is it her characters? The way she writes the scenes? What do you think? Read on and decide? (and share your thoughts!!)  Want to read more? Click here

December Signature Feature: Elias by Krista

Today's Signature Feature is our last one for the 2025, and it just so happened to line up with Krista! One of GA's longest posting authors, no matter what kind of content you want to read, you'll probably find it in her author listing! I decided to slip back a bit from the happy holidays to a bit of a spook factor. Who doesn't like visiting gravestones in a ghost town during tinsel time???

November Signature Feature: When Opportunity Knocks by kbois

Once again, I'm featuring a story that brings up that topic we often think of this time of year, family and love. Why do we love our family? Do the people in our lives truly love us? What might that prompt us to do, or not do, for love, family, friends and more? When Opportunity Knocks has some hard topics, light moments, and a lot of great writing. Please take the time to enjoy it!  Length: 96,473 Description: Jett Anderson and Kyle Benton are starting to build a relationship. L

September Signature Author Feature: Bonkers by JamesSavik

How about some another feature of an older story by a popular site author for our readers who might have missed it? Rated "G" for a feel-good story by the author himself (and I agree!) you can't miss this story that's just *ahem* a little Bonkers! Length: 1,263 Description:  Two fearful boys meet an outstanding dog. Dedicated to all the dogs out there who are sometimes smarter than their boys.

June Signature Excerpt: Bearpaw: An Old West Tale by Headstall

Did you catch Monday's ad feature for Headstall's story, Bearpaw: An Old West Tale? Have you read it or put it on your to read list yet? Even if you have never read a Western fictional tale before, you should really give it a chance. His writing has a way of making you invested in the characters and their lives, and you won't be sorry (even if it's a bit longer than most, though that's the draw for me usually!).

June Signature Author Feature: Bearpaw: An Old West Tale by Headstall

This month I wanted to feature something that felt... substantial, and don't ask me why but I always tend to swing back to historical fiction when I'm warm and dealing with the swing of the seasons into summer. Probably because I was always running out of reading material as a kid on summer break and sneaking bodice ripper Harlequins and Louis L'Amour western paperbacks as a kid, lol! Now, I wouldn't put @Headstall's writing in either category, but I always enjoy his depth and dedication to the

May Classic Author Feature: Black Swans by Graeme

This short story is a short story written long ago by Graeme (almost 20 years!) but it shouldn't be missed. Please take the time to read and review this series of snapshots, as he termed it, that fits right in with the theme I'm using to feature this month's stories!  Length: 3,175 Description: Snapshots of lives as a young boy grows up, a young couple age, and an old man goes through his retirement.

April Signature Author Feature: Space Pioneer 1 by Dolores Esteban

Welcome to April's Signature Author Feature! I'm obviously featuring one of our Classic authors this month, and this oldie but goodie, might have escaped you. Dolores posted Space Pioneer 1 way back in 2014, so I wanted to bring it back now for your reading enjoyment. It features two of my favorite themes, Ancient Egypt and space!  Length: 50,140 Description: On his trip to Mars, Jeff's shuttle gets dragged through space by an alien spaceship that is performing a space jump.
