Sorry for the lateness of today's wrap up. Since I'm running so late, let's get right to it today.   On Monday we had the CSR Discussion day for Becoming Real by AC Benus. AC also joined us on the blog for a live Q & A. There were some great questions asked. If you missed it, go see what readers had to ask and what AC had to say!   Wednesday was this month's Ask An Author feature. Dark had questions for Andrew Todd, Sasha Distan, and Headstall. It was a busy day for commenters! Curious a

What a way to end (well, almost end) the year. We had a great week here at the GayAuthors.org News Blog. The week started with a wonderful project that Renee initiated - a round of reviews of the stories that made up our past 2004 Winter Anthology: Christmas. These now classic stories - seeing these reviews make these stories shine with new life. Daithi, aditus, podiumdavis, crazyfish, Lisa, LJH and Ron were the reviewers and we thank them so much for their time and efforts in completing this gr

I hope that everyone had a wonderful New Year's, and are looking forward to the coming year. It was a busy week in the GA news blog, so let's get right to it.   On Monday we had the story discussion for the CSR book club.   On Tuesday, we announced the next story contest, that will take place in February. If you enjoyed the Secret Santa contest, then hopefully you will enjoy the Secret Admirer contest as well.   On Wednesday, we kept up the busy schedule with our author promo of Albertnoth

Announcement: As we've recently noted, we're working with our Hosted Author's to promote their eBooks. A few weeks ago we were proud to announce Cia's eBook Pricolici, and in today's "New Reading", we have Lugh's eBook Catara - which has a surprising ending. This is just the start and we look forward to working with more of our author's in the future and, as always, are exploring other ways of supporting the authors of this site.   October is almost half over - this year has been passing so f

The weekend is almost over - but at least NEXT weekend will be a three-day one for many of us in the states.   We've had a busy week with a ton of great feedback. For our "Tuesday tip", we did something different and had a poll as well as requests for open comments about this news blog. If you haven't chimed in, or if you have something new you want to add - please go and either post there or as a comment here.   One of the suggestions has even been implemented already.

It's once again time to take a look at what has happened here on GA this past week. Emotions have run high after the news about the tragic shooting in Orlando, Florida. While many of us couldn't find the words to say how we felt, Steve managed to do what we couldn't, and shared some thoughts on what happened in Orlando. Some authors, both here at GA and others, are putting together a Poetry Anthology to benefit the victims of the Pulse shooting. If you're interested in participating, you can che
