Weekly Wrap Up!

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

Author Interview: Carl Holiday

Have you downloaded your copy of the Signature Background for February yet? There's still time! Today we're featuring an interview with Carl Holiday, all about him, his writing, and a little about how Hold 32 came into being!   Do you eat your fruits and vegetables? I’m more of a dairy and grains kind of guy.   Are you a person who makes their bed in the morning, or do you not see much point? I make it up at night, before I use it. It’s not like the housing inspectors will be coming along an

Featured Story: Hold 32

This month for the Signature Background, I featured Carl Holiday's story, Hold 32 from the 2011 Anthology themed: Walk on the Wild Side. A short story I enjoyed then and now, I thought I'd do the review myself! And if you haven't had a chance to download your background yet this month, you can get it here! Hold 32   by Carl Holiday Signature Author   Reviewer: Cia Status: Complete Length: 1,595   I read A LOT, but this story stuck out to me in 2011 when I first read it

February Csr: Pierced By Jvaughn

February is a month many people focus on love. But sometimes two people have to face seemingly insurmountable obstacles and there's no guarantee having a connection can be enough. I really enjoyed this story, so I decided to feature J Vaughn's short story for this month's Can't Stop Reading Book Club. Pierced by J Vaughn   Length: 19,210   Description: Paul is a college football player and deeply in the closet until he stumbles upon a rape victim who needs his help. Kyle is out

I hope everybody had a great weekend. I can't believe it's Sunday already, which means it's time to look over the week and recap what was posted in the GA News Blog as well as what our promoted authors were up to. Before I get to that, I'd appreciate it if everyone would take just a minute to answer the poll questions. Also, don't forget tomorrow is the discussion day for the CSR book club!   For our Featured Story, Timothy M. provided us with a review of JWolf's story "The English Year".

Featured Story: Gay Whales

Happy Monday! So, it's been a while since I've done a review for the blog, so I decided maybe it was time that I remedied that. While it's not a Christmas or holiday tale, the story I decided to review is one that is humorous, fun, and lighthearted; all things that a holiday should be. The story we're going to take a look at today is "Gay Whales" by Graeme. Hopefully if you decide to take a look at it, you'll enjoy it as much as I did! Gay Whales By Graeme Signature Author
