    Arts and Crafts - Character-istics

    By Cole Matthews

    What elements make for a believable character?  What can writers add that aids in the complete and utter suspension of disbelief?  Lots of thing come to mind like quirks, back stories, associations, inner thoughts, tribulations - and the list goes on and on.  However, something many authors have done with beloved recurring characters is to give them hobbies.  Certainly Sherlock Holmes had several and varied 'pursuits'.  Agatha Christie had Miss Marple constantly knitting.  Let's try rounding out

Weekly Wrap Up!

Peek-a-boo! Ya, Renee was kind enough to allow me to do another Weekly Wrap Up while she is out of town. So let's look back on our week then. We started by looking at our Featured Story: Leopard Skin Cover by Signature Author Graeme. I was privileged to have been a beta reader for this great story and Wildone's review wonderfully captures the interest of this story.   Premium Tuesday gave us a look at Incomplete Recollections by Johnathan Colourfield, a part of the Summer Premium Anthology.

Premium Tuesday: Incomplete Recollections

Every Tuesday we showcase just one of GA's Premium Content stories. This week we're featuring "Incomplete Recollections" by Johnathan Colourfield. Last summer GA had a Summer Premium Anthology, but rather than post all the stories at once, they were posted one right after the other. Johnathan's story was just one of the three that were posted.

Weekly Wrap Up!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!! I want to start the Weekly Wrap Up out by announcing that Wildone (a.k.a. Steve) has been promoted to Site Admin. Welcome Aboard Steve, good to have you! For those who haven't already noticed it, JSmith has posted a blog that he will be resigning from all areas of the site. He has been a major part of the site for many years and it is certainly a sad day. We certainly wish him the best and he will be missed. I'm sure I speak for many when I say, Thank you Joe

June Csr Book Club Selection: Cjames' Anthologies

June is the month our summer anthology comes out, and that's always a great event for our authors, new and experienced. I like to feature the anthologies from time to time, but this month I thought we'd take a peek at a single long-time member's various takes on the themes through the years. C James is the well-known, and popular, author of Circumnavigation--the longest story on GA. So how about taking a peek at some of his shortest, if you're not up to tackling his 1.1 million word epic? C J

I know it's Monday, and time to feature a new story, but before I do that, there's something else I'd like to do. Without a certain person, none of us would have such a great site to visit, read stories, and interact with so many great people. I doubt when Myr first came up with the idea for Gay Authors that he expected it would become what it is today, so with that in mind I would like to simply say, Thank You and....     Now, let's see the wonderful review of Geeks by CassieQ, supp
