Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend so far. Monday will be here before we know it, but before that happens, lets take a look at what happened this week in the GA News Blog, cause there's been quite a bit to look back at.

Due to last weeks takeover of the blog due to an issue with story ratings, Cia did a re-run on Monday of her review of the Signature Author Background story, Joined by Blood. If you haven't read the story, why not pop by the blog and see if it might interest you. If you have read it, feel free to stop by and share your own thoughts.

On Tuesday we welcomed back our Premium Tuesday blog and featured Lugh's story, Binding. If you're interested in helping to support Gay Authors, and would like access to some extra story content as well, check it out. Not only is there some info about Lugh's story, but there's also some information on how to become a Premium Subscriber.

Wednesday continued Signature Week with Cia's interview with Renee Stevens about her story "Joined by Blood". Curious as to where the title came from? Maybe you want to know, Why vampires? Cia asks that and more during the interview, so check it out.

On Friday we had two new prompts from the Prompt Guru, Comicfan. If you've been feeling stuck or just want to take a short break from the norm, or maybe you're dipping your fingers into writing for the first time, the prompts are a great writing exercise. This week we featured an older prompt response from Sasha Distan, so check it out!

Normally we don't have a Saturday post, but this week we had the unpleasant task of informing the GA Membership that we had confirmed the passing of long-time member and Classic Author, Jack Scribe who passed away earlier this year. Rest in Peace, Jack.
