First a reminder - today is the LAST day to offer your suggestions for the 2015 Anthology Themes! Visit the thread to offer your suggestions for the 2015 Anthology Themes! Thread will close at 11:59 PM (US Mountain Time) on July 20th

This was a great week with men all over the place - err, I mean Mann Ramblings all over. We started the week with a great review by Joann414 of Mann's The Luxorian Fugitive. A slightly dark sultry tale set on the spacecraft The Santa Claus - tied together as only Mann can.

Our Premium Feature story of the week is Boy Called Slave by Nephylim. This is one I haven't read yet, but based on the blurb and some of the comments, adding it to my reading list!

So, with Mann being the feature of the week (as well as the month of July), we get some great insight via an interview Cia did with this hunk author, giving Mann Ramblings thoughts on The Luxorian Fugative. Go check it out and see what he likes to swirl!

All good weeks come to an end, and this one ended on a bang with two great new Writing Prompts, including starting with "There is no way I am going in there!" and mysterious rings. Stretch your writing muscles as well as comfort zone by giving one of them a try, and then sharing with the community. Last week, Joann414 shared her use of a pregnant woman and jock strap, to very humorous results.

So - how was your week?
