Weekly Wrap Up!

I hope everybody has had a great week. It has been a very busy week here in the GA News blog. Don't forget there's only one week left before the CSR Discussion on "Roommates" by Krista, so if you haven't finished reading, you still have a little bit of time. Now, let's see what happened this week in the blog!   Our Monday feature took a look at Leaving Club Leo by long-time site member and author C James! If you haven't already read this story, then check out Monday's review and see if it's so

Featured Story: Leaving Club Leo

Monday's are a great day, not so much as they are the start of a new week but because it's the day we look at one of the stories here at Gay Authors. Maybe you have been looking for a new story to read? Hopefully I can help you out with that! I like to contribute the occasional review to the blog, and today I decided to do a review on a story by one of our earliest authors. C James is well known for his story Circumnavigation, but I'm going to share one of his lesser known stories. I hope you en

I hope everyone had a great week! With the release of the 2015 Spring Anthology, it's time to start looking forward to the 2015 Poetry Anthology and the 2015 Summer Anthology. Look for the announcement for the Summer Anthology within the next week or two, but if you want to get a start on it, the theme is Road Trip! This week we're going to go a little bit backwards in our look back at the week.   For those that didn't already notice, on Friday, there were no prompts. That's because we

Featured Story: Two Of A Kind

This month I told Cia that I was stealing the March Signature Author Background because I decided it was time for the one who started it to be featured. I chose her story Two of a Kind since I love the Carthera series and it was a toss-up as to whether I liked Two of a Kind or Hypnosis better. If you haven't already read this series, I highly suggest it. To help you decide whether or not it's for you, here's a review, provided by Cannd. Two of a Kind Book 2 of Carthera Takeover Tales

Csr Discussion Day: Pierced By Jvaughn

This month, a shorter than usual one, I also went with a shorter story. JVaughn's Pierced is a solid read, for all it's only about 20k in length, that I really enjoyed. I was happy to feature it this month, and I hope you're ready to enjoy learning a bit more about J, too. Don't forget to leave your comments or questions. J will be "live" on the blog from 4-6 PM, PST today to talk to you--so make sure you're ready!   Single people often have more time to write. Are you single? Technically, yes

Being the start of a new week, Monday's are also a good time to take a look at some of the different stories that can be found on Gay Authors.
