Csr Discussion Day

Happy end of December! As 2013 comes to a close we have one of my stories for the Can't Stop Reading book club. You can read Bonds Unbroken, the first story in my Carthera Takeover trilogy in Stories if you haven't already. Renee was kind enough to interview me for the blog, so we'll go straight into that!   First a few more general questions:   If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor? Hmm… I don’t know if I have a mentor about writing. Nephy gave me some amazing tips

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

Special Review - 2004 Winter Anthology: Christmas

So, I'm sure a lot of people noticed that I was asking for reviewers for a special project. Thank you to everyone who responded. With Christmas being this week, I thought it might be neat to take a look at the first ever anthology on Gay Authors. The theme for the 2004 Winter Anthology was "Christmas" which seemed rather fitting considering the season. I asked each reviewer to pick a story from that first anthology and review it for this special review feature. I hope you enjoy reading these sev

Csr Book Club Selection: Bonds Unbroken By Cia

Wow, last month of 2013! This month our book club selection is one of my stories. Thank you Renee, Mann, Jo Ann. I hope you enjoy this story. It is part of a contemporary paranormal series that can each be read alone, but they are interconnected so they read the best in order.
