Happy August everyone 🥳 Did you survive July?  I barely made it  End of July was the ramp up for me of six months of work to update my national company's entire computer system!

Memorial

Geron Kees

It is my sad duty to report the passing of a beloved GA community member and author, Geron Kees.  He passed away in May, after a lengthy illness. Geron joined GA ten years ago and posted 70 stories since then, including the popular Charlie Boone series.  He was a regular contributor to forum discussions and actively engaged with his readers.  His positivity and kindness were reflected in his writing and interactions with other GA members, and were something everyone who knew him commented on.

Howdy ho everyone! My apologies, went to bed last night totally forgetting to do the Wrap Up 😮 I hope Myr doesn't fire me or deduct my pay . Due to this and an early breakfast with friends, I'm going to have to make this a short one.  I do have a question though...

We had an interesting discussion last week with the Weekly Wrap Up. I see the weather has broke in some places and yet others is getting worse 😮  Up here in Canada, it is so hot and dry we are burning up. Over 1000 wildfires going on right now   I wouldn't go camping now unless it was on a river or lake shore.  So back to one of the parts of the camping theme, I mentioned about swimming.

Secret Author Event-Forbidden Knowledge Due!

Now, there has been some.... misinformation out there. 15th... 16th... what was the true date? Was someone trying to keep your favorite author from playing this game or you from knowing all the juicy details of the forbidden truths hidden in this year's entries by changing it up from blog post to blog post?  I will admit nothing! Neither will the team! But since there MAY have been some confusion out there, I will accept late stories on the 16th if they come in while I *coughs* the Fo

That's right, to whet your whistle, so to speak, this month we're looking back at last year's submissions to the Secret Author contest! Authors maybe aren't sure how to incorporate a Secret/Forbidden topic into the story or just how tangential it can be, these stories could be the inspiration needed (you never know which new author may take up the mantle for the contest once they have a reference!) Readers, well... sometimes we all enjoy a 2nd, 3rd, or more look back at content from our favorite

Well a belated Happy 250th Birthday to our American neighbours  Someone told me @Myr came over, not on the Mayflower, but another boat and tossed tea into Boston Harbour .

Or are you still celebrating on Sunday AM when this is posted? 250 years is quite a long time, in North American terms. Also a happy belat

June Signature Feature: Stranger at the Grave by Parker Owens

A short read for a long month! This will give you more time to make those connections count.  Length: 4,430 Description: A sad visit to a new grave; an unknown mourner. What does it mean? A reader said: Stranger at the Grave is a poignant short story centering around themes of familial neglect and the consequent loss. It gives us pause to consider what is truly important in life and why it is that we seem so absorbed in the trivia of career over family.  ~Doha   If
