Featured Story: Let's Make Love

As the gloomy last month of the year is upon us, let's fill our eyes and minds with a sense of the erotic. We're thankful to joann414 for her review of Author Mark92's Let's Make Love. Enjoy!       Let's Make Love by Mark92   Reviewer: joann414 Status: Complete Word Count: 3,396   The beginning of this erotic tale lets the reader know that one of the two characters is without two of his senses because of his hands being tied, and a blindfold over his eyes.

So, I started a bit of a firestorm in yesterday's blog. Short story - we're looking to change the format of this GayAuthors.org News Blog from daily to four times a week.

In reading the reviews for this story, it is obvious why Mark is such a popular aut
