Whats New?

Here lately I've been asking a lot of people to write reviews. Not just people I interact with all the time, or even interact well with. I thought it was important to bring that up. I also thought it was important to bring up that in many instances, old news is put aside so new news can be brought to you the reader. And for that I would like to thank my reviewers... all of them. I also think it's important to point out that the blogs do not have a spellcheck function that I can find, so if you d

What's New?

Watch out guys! We've got two up and coming stars here...   CassieQ's series "Not the Sun" is well received by her fans, of course she's always looking for new fans.   "Ground Rules" is in progress and is getting pretty lengthy as well as pretty interesting. One warning though -- there is a little violence so consider yourself warned.   The reviewers, as well as myself, would highly recommend that you read each of these.   Not the Sun By CassieQ by Renee   I had read most

What's New?

So, we ran out of reviews members have written for the blog about our site authors, so I picked a few stories that members seem to have liked over the last few months, myself included, and pulled a few reviews and comments.

Special Review - 2004 Winter Anthology: Christmas

So, I'm sure a lot of people noticed that I was asking for reviewers for a special project. Thank you to everyone who responded. With Christmas being this week, I thought it might be neat to take a look at the first ever anthology on Gay Authors. The theme for the 2004 Winter Anthology was "Christmas" which seemed rather fitting considering the season. I asked each reviewer to pick a story from that first anthology and review it for this special review feature. I hope you enjoy reading these sev

June is here, and that means we get our monthly fix from our Review Team. Check out this gem brought to us by Parker:   The Jerk-Off by JLynch Reviewer: Parker Owens Status: Complete Word Count: 98,033 It’s summer.  You need a good beach read – you know, the kind of story that engages your attention so much that you wind up frying in the hot sun, and which entertains enough that you ignore the subsequent pain. GA author JLynch serves up just such a story in The Jerk-Off.

Featured Story: The Brillant Boy Billionaire

The Brilliant Boy Billionaire by Altimexis Reviewer: W_L Status: Complete Word Count: 474,949 The primary reason for reading Brilliant Boy Billionaire is its sense of first-person adventure, especially as someone who has encountered similar stories over the years, such as my first, Dewey Writer's Brian and Pete series, starting with For the Love of Pete, where the excitement of a young gay teen is explored with a complex plot and backdrop.
