If you're someplace that practices Daylights Savings, I hope you remembered to turn your clocks back! It was a busy week here at GA and I hope everyone had a wonderful week and a fun Halloween! Did you see lots of Ghosts, Goblins, and Witches? I heard through the grapevine that one GA member even dressed up as a character from a story here at GA. Curious as to who and what character? Check out the gallery!   What better way to start out the week than by having the discussion day for the CSR Bo

It's been quite the week this week in the Gay Authors News Blog. Hope everyone had a great weekend and that the upcoming week treats everyone well. Now, lets look back at what happened in the blog over the last week!   On Monday we had the CSR Discussion for this months book club choice, Shepherd's Crook by K.C. K.C. also visited the blog for a live Q & A and answered some questions about the story. If you've read his story, why don't you stop on by and share your thoughts with the other r

This week both said good-bye to 2013 and welcomed in 2014. I hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year. Now let's take a look at what happened this week in the Gay Authors News Blog!   As the last post of 2013 we had the CSR Discussion for Cia's story Bonds Unbroken. I sent Cia a list of interview questions which she answered in depth and posted for the discussion day, but after that, it was up to the readers to share their thoughts on the first story in the Carthera Takeover series.

Renee is off playing so I get to sneak in and give everyone a review of this, our last week of June. Can you believe after Monday that the year is half over? Wow! We had a great start to the week here, with a review by Renee of Promising Author Dark's short story The Matchmaker is Grounded. It a very sweet story and a quick read that will bring smiles to your face, and Renee does a great job of enticing you with her review.   Continuing on with our Premium Tuesday feature was a look at Coin in

Once again it was a busy week here at Gay Authors. A lot of things have been going on behind the scenes as the staff worked to get the Anthology ready to go live, but we made it.

Now, let's look at what happened in the blog this week!   We started out the week with a review of "So Little Magic Left" by Promising Author: Mann Ramblings.

Well I'm in a good mood I just finished watching a hockey game that came out the right way   I don't know about you, but do you come to GA for a mood change? What am I talking about? Well this week has had me thinking about a lot of things, Australia burning, Eastern North America in tornadoes, rain and freezing rain. The Royal family in turmoil (okay, so I like the Royal Family, shoot me ). A passenger plane accidentally being shot down in Iran and 100's of lives lost. With that all going on,

Wow, what a busy week here at the GA News Blog. I should have started this earlier so I could have it maybe done by midnight local time. It is already 11:30 😮  So without large flashing lights and sirens, maybe an announcer with a mike dropped down for the rafters like at a boxing match (I believe he was busy with the Mike Tyson match ), we will be a bit more subtle today in the Weekly Update. So here it goes, we have two days left to get your edited copy for the Fall Anthology into the Ant

Sorry all, running a bit late today. The week has gone by so quickly that I sorta forgot today was Sunday! Before I get going, for those who didn't noticed Saturday's post, I wanted to once again announce the winner for the International Flirt Week Contest.   For the line: **walk up to a stranger, lick a finger and wipe it on the guy's shirt** "Come on, baby. Let's get you out of these wet clothes."   This past week was a week to feature Carl Holiday! On Monday we

I can't believe it's already Sunday. I don't know about everybody else, but this week has just seemed to go by so quickly and it's hard to believe that January is almost over already.

The week started off on a great note with a review by Wicked Witch of Promising Author JMH's The Centurion Cycle.   Wednesday, we had a great (and timely) article by Andrew_Q_Gordon on So you wanna be an Author - hope you took marketing classes. Andy gave us some great tips based on his experience - and timely as he just released his book Purpose yesterday!

Monday, we mainly heard about Quonus10's story Chosen of Honorus. Then as a follow-up, we concluded his interview on Tuesday with more of a focus on his experiences with publishing.   Our Wednesday Author Showcase gave us reviews of Johnathan Colourfield's The Room, as well as Cailen's Somewhere Only We Know.
