Author Showcase - Thoughts From Comicality

With Anniversary week in full swing, we're making a substitute for this week's Author Showcase and instead of reviews of two GA Authors, one of them a Promising Author - this week, we're thrilled to offer this piece from one of the first GayAuthors.org authors, Comicality. Radiant Renee Stevens reached out to Comicality, and wrote the intro for this. We hope you enjoy!       We are bringing you something that was written from the heart. We all know what GA means to us and so I wanted to see

Happy Saturday to all, and it is a very happy Saturday. Why you may ask, the 2012 Gay Authors Fall Anthology is now LIVE! That's right, you've been wanting to read the stories and the wait is finally over. I hope you enjoy the hard work that all of our authors put into their anthology pieces and after you've read, why not leave the author a review letting them know what you think about it!

Featured Story: A Day In A Life Of Misery / Bovian Image

I absolutely love the Wednesday blog. It gives us a chance to bring some recognition to the wonderful authors that can be found here at GA. Today, we're bringing you two more stories. We hope that you'll take a look at them and see if just maybe they are something you might enjoy. The first review we're bringing you is one done by yours truly or, as Trebs would say, the Radiant Renee Stevens (rolls eyes) of a story by Promising Author: Skylights called "A Day in a Life of Misery."

Featured Story: For The Love

While I realize that we recently featured Hosted Author C James' Circumnavigation, after reading this great review by Wildone, I was all for featuring it this week - and it seems appropriate, since few can match our beloved Goat in his labors to diligently to turn out one wonderful tale after another for his readers here on GayAuthors. So with good Labor Day wishes to all (should this be Labor Day for you), here is Wildone's excellent (and cliffhanger-free), review:   For the Love

If you haven't seen yet, Myr had a very important blog entry about GA Hosted Authors, eBooks and Fiction Stories, please take a moment and check it out. If you did see it, but didn't see his late posted note, I want to repeat what he said - this announcement does NOT mean that GA is switching to Pay only. GA will always have the majority of content free, as long as Myr runs it.   Also - we now have only 2 days left for our FALL Anthology entries. The "Friends and Enemies" anthology is due Sept

Monday we started off with a review by Fozzie Bear of our Hosted Author Renee Steven's story Roving Dreams. As everyone should know, Renee is very special to us here as an extraordinary Co-GA Blog Organizer, but additionally, she is a fantastic author.   This was followed up by an interview of Andy021278 that Comicfan graciously did for us. It's always great getting a better in-depth look at our authors and community members.   So after getting to know Andy021278 better, we get to read his

Blast From The Past

Saturdays can be so many things to so many people. To some it is a chance to get that stuff done that you haven't had time (or have put off) during the week. Others it's a great time to just sit back and relax and forget about the stress of work and/or school. For us here at GA, it's a chance to look back into our past and bring you something from either an old Newsletter or an old Anthology. Today we're looking at a story from the 2007: The Road Not Taken Anthology. Enjoy! The Key By Lugh

I'm definitely looking forward to some new stories to read!

We did that on Monday with Radiant Renee Stevens' review of Under the Mistletoe by Hosted Author DomLuka. This
