What a week it's been at the Gay Authors News Blog! Now it's time for the Weekly Recap!! Enjoy!   We started out the week with the first CSR Book Club Announcement of 2014!

Whatever you decide, don't forget to join in the discussion that will be taking place on January 27th!   Wednesday started out with a bit of a prank by Cia. She then went

It appears that Renee is living up to her name this past week and is actually being a Crazy Mountain Lady. So if you were looking for her, you need to look up in the Mountains to find out where she is being crazy   First thing I want to do is an announcement for all. Make sure you don't forget to read Graeme's "The Rainy Day" short story for this month's CSR Discussion Day taking place Monday, September 28th.

Well, our deadline for the big Novella Anthology "Secrets Can Kill" - has come and past. I can't wait until we all get to see what was submitted. I'm definitely looking forward to some new stories to read! AND - we have some new Anthology Announcements.   One of the joys of working on this daily GA News blog, is pulling out older stories that sometimes just don't get enough attention. We did that on Monday with Radiant Renee Stevens' review of Under the Mistletoe by Hosted Author DomLuka. This

ANNOUNCEMENT: We've heard your requests for more "Likes" and everyone has now had their ability to like content increased per day. To balance this, an author now needs a slightly higher reputation to have their stories no longer subject to the moderation queue.   We started our week with a great review by Daithi of Hosted Author Lugh's Binding. Binding is a Premium Content story, and we additionally talked about how Premium memberships help GayAuthors.org. Even being only available in Premium,

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

REMINDER: The first discussion day for our brand new GA book club, called the "Can't Stop Reading" (or CSR) Book Club, is this Monday, January 28th. Nephylim's Memories of Forgotten Love is a fantastic read that even if you haven't started yet, once you start, you'll not be able to put it down until you're done and so you'll easily be ready for Monday's discussion. Give it a try so you can join us on Monday!   For this past week, we started with a great review by Radiant Renee Stevens of No St

Sorry for the late post again this week; I had family visiting I haven't seen in a few months. As for GA ... lots of drama here this week!

We will be reading the last 3 year's Reader's Choice Award Winners. Take a look at the stories, and join us for the Discussion Day on 5/27.

Oh my you people are lucky - you get to have me for two weeks in a row now! I gotta thank Renee for letting me help out, though it also helps her have some extra time to do some other things. And when you look at how busy it is here at the GayAuthors.org News Blog, you can see how the extra time can help. I mean, we started this week with the CSR Discussion Day for Your Alpha, My Mate by Wolfwriter. To kick off the discussion, Cia had a great interview with Wolfwriter about a variety of topics a

We started our week looking at a delightful story by Hosted Author Libby Drew. Radiant Renee Stevens gave us a great review of Libby's Spark and sat8997 and Mark Arbour both chimed in with their praise for Libby's works.   Our Tuesday Toss up looked at heroes - specifically various readers from the perspective of two authors, FleetingRainbows and C James. The comments on this blog are as valuable as the entry itself, IMHO.   For our midweek Author's Showcase, we had a review of Promising Aut

Being as there was no weekly wrap up last week, we'll be looking back at the last two weeks in this edition of the blog.   On Monday, the 4th of August, and the first Monday of the month, Cia announced this month's choice for the CSR Book Club. Her choice for August is, In The Depths of Despair by InTheMindOfSunshine.
