Weekly Wrap Up!

Did everyone (who needed to) remember to "Fall Back" this morning? For our household, it's back to PST again (GMT -8.0). And the extra hour of sleep was great!   For our GayAuthors.org News Blog, we started the week looking at one of our first Hosted Authors, Comicality, and his short story Of The Flesh. Radiant Renee Stevens gives us a great review of this short story and based on her review, it's now one for my reading list (which grows longer and longer...)   We then had the first of our

Toss-Up Tuesday: Interview With Napervic

When Yettie One approached Trebs and I about doing some interviews for the blog, we were ecstatic These interviews will run once a month. So, rather than write a lengthy intro, we'll just let Yettie One tell you about it himself! Interview with NaperVic by Yettie One   As part of a community of people I got really curious about what brought people to the world of GA, what the enjoy to read, and what kind of people they are.   So when I volunteered to help the GA Blog with

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

Featured Story: Double Trouble

I feel a bit odd, writing an intro to my own review soooooo... Here is a review of Double Trouble by our Hosted Author Altimexis. Enjoy!   Double Trouble by Altimexis   Reviewed by: Trebs Status: Complete Word Count: 14,081   I fondly remember waiting for each new chapter of Love in a Chair when Altimexis wrote this beautiful story six years ago.

Ack - spent the weekend helping the kids get ready for Halloween. Can't believe it is just around the corner (sort of like I couldn't believe the prices on the stuff they "needed" for their costumes). Oh well, just means we are getting colder nights finally - and can do big pots of soup and stew, with baked bread :-)   So here at the the News Blog, we started the week looking at a beautiful story by Hosted Author Libby Drew.

Disclaimer - normally I post these past newsletter items as they originally appeared, but for this one, I did edit it to update the links to Luc's forum and to the Poetry Discussion forum.

Looking back on old newsletters, I'm reminded of a program that we had of Author Chats. This was before we had a regular chatroom, and so it was a special occasion to schedule a time that an author would go into chat and talk to the community. I very clearly when DKStories had such a chat time, and I got to ask him some questions, that led to PM's and eventually meeting him for a movie. Unfortunately, now I'm stuck with him ;-)   So with these fond memories, here is an article from our October
