Only the 2nd day of the month and it's already time for our monthly treat from Dark! I always look forward to seeing what Dark has asked some of the authors here at Gay Authors, and I hope that other members feel the same. Ask An Author is by far one of my favorite features of the news blog and one that I am happy to see continue month after month. So, let's see what Dark has for us this month!

Welcome back to another quirky question and answer session with your favorite authors!

In AtA #17, we had questions for authors AnytaSunday, Billy Martin, and Kyle Aarons.

In AtA #18, we hear from authors Andrew Q Gordon, Ashi, and Sasha Distan.

For their protection, the members who asked these questions shall remain nameless (unless they choose to reveal themselves). Please note that all author replies are copied as is, spelling errors and grammar eccentricities original to the individual.

Our first author today is Author AQG, otherwise known as Andrew Q. Gordon, or just plain “Q.” Sadly (for us), this very popular author has taken the epublishing route over the last couple years, which has led to less time spent on GA, but I think his fans will agree that it’s been well worth it. Check out his Dreamspinner profile or his goodreads page to see what books are currently on offer and what readers are saying. One of the things that I’ve found fascinating through this transition is how transparent Andy tries to keep his efforts. In his blogs, he’s detailed the steps he’s had to go through to grow followers as a published author and in early 2014, he wrote about his desire to create an easy ‘brand name’ for himself. I must say that the icon he chose is pretty cool.

Today’s next author is Author Ashi. This California resident first came to my attention when I saw the beginning of a blog post about the freeways in L.A., where I was living at the time. For those of you not in the know, L.A. freeways showcase some of the most bizarre driving habits I’ve ever been exposed to, and that includes New Yorks ultra-short on-ramps and D.C.’s ridiculous 10-lane roads (one-way). Anyway, Ashi’s thought-provoking writing carries on from his blogs to his stories and even the self-proclaimed smutty poem, Winter Barren, which I happen to love. Ashi starts 2014 with another short story called Museum Goers about a man and a museum and some terrific people-watching. With luck, we’ll have a new one soon!

Our last author today is self-proclaimed red-neck Sasha Distan who is self-published through Lulu where you can find the finished version of Born Wolf, one of Sasha's more popular stories on GA. This British wolf (technically I am part wolf and part African Hunting Dog) is as of November 2013 one of GA’s Promising Authors, with their own forum and everything! The forum for Born Wolf stays busy, which has kept fans very happy learning about and questioning one of Sasha’s werewolf story universes. If you’re a fan of the genre, you’ll find lots to love in this author’s story listing.

That’s it for now! For more info on these authors, go check out their stories, post in their forums, and/or catch them in chat!

Coming next time: Layla, Lilansui, and Thorn Wilde.
