Weekly Wrap Up!

Wow, what a great week. Hoping the weather was great where you are, we hit 3 record breaking days for the past 10 years here so enjoying being indoors for a while and working on the wrap up.   First off, the voting for the first round picking the 2016 Anthology Themes is now closed. A very big thank you to everyone who contributed to narrowing down the number of great ideas. GA relies on you the Members to help drive the direction of these special events, and sincerely appreciates your input.

I hope everyone had a great week! I think today I'm going to get right into the Wrap Up for the week.   Monday and Wednesday were all about Andy78, the author of Magic In The Air, which just so happens to be this month's Signature Author Background. On Monday, Cia wrote a review for the story and then on Wednesday she interviewed Andy78.

So - June is busting out all over! Barely into the month, and at least here in California, we're totally in a summer swelter. Of course, a great remedy is just staying cool inside, reading some great fiction... Hmmm - gee, where to go for great fiction...   We started our week kicking off the June CSR - Can't Stop Reading Book club entry of Reach by CassieQ. Oh hey - maybe THIS is the great fiction I was talking about? Ya - check it out, and be sure to come back on June 24th for the CSR discus

First, I want to make sure everyone saw yesterday's Blog - K.C. has a story stolen and the thief was selling it on Amazon. Amazon is looking into this, but as yesteray's blog noted, it is happening more and more. The blog also gives some good advice if it happens to you. I highly urge everyone to read it.   Other big news on the horizon is the looming July 31 deadline for our big Novella Anthology "Secrets Can Kill" - the deadline is July 31 (although if you need a few extra days, just contact

Whew! What a week two. I hope everyone took the time to go check out our Featured Story this week: From Behind Those Eyes by Viv   And while you were out there looking, I hope you stopped by all the other great stories we talked about on Wednesday: Quonus10's Second Shot and The Trial of Jordan Colmar and Dee's story, Low Down and Out. And on Friday we found a poem by JOeKEool in the Prompts and some people learned that the prompts aren't just "silly little things" any more but real

What a great week it was, especially with the release of the 2013 GA Spring Anthology: A Night to Remember. So many wonderful new stories to read and if you haven't already checked them out, I would suggest you do so and leave the authors a review to let them know what you thought!   A Reminder: The chosen story for the CSR book club is State of Mind by Libby Drew. The discussion will take place on the 25th of this month, so make sure you've read it before then so that you can join in with you

We had a great start to our week with a look at Hosted Author Altimexis's story Double Trouble. Or as sat8997 said in the comments "Yep, what they said. Can't go wrong with an Altimexis story."   For our Toss-Up Tuesday, Cia wrote an informative article on the GA Store, "So many options! What Should Members Buy!" Good stuff to know about the GA Store.   Our midweek Author Showcase gave us a great look at Promising Author KingdombytheSea;s Dare as well as a review by LouisHarris of Author Sid

There are other gay fiction story sites, and great authors elsewhere on the web (GASP - I know, shocking, but true).
