Renee's off enjoying some family time in the summer sun, so today you're getting the weekly wrap up from me! This is a crazy busy time of year for me too, as summer returns and the kids get out of school. This month we have a lot going on at GA with the summer anthology, our Gay Pride Month contest, and the general shenanigans happening. Let's see all the happenings this week:

On Monday I reviewed the featured Signature Author story, Crash Landing, by Bill W. This story was written as part of the 2011 Aftermath anthology, and it really took me in directions I wasn't expecting. Have you read it yet?

Wednesday let us learn more about Bill W in his author interview. Did you know he identifies with the underdog and originally came to GA upon a personal invitation from Myr, way back in the day? Learn more about Bill and Crash Landing by checking out the interview here.

The Gayauthor's Summer Anthology, Road Trip went live on Thursday and has remained our featured blog entry for the last few days. This anthology saw stories from 8 site authors including Aditus, Renee Stevens, Cole Matthews, Valkyrie, Comicfan, Krista, Cia, and Carlos Hazday. Special thanks go to the proof team: Rec, Andy78, Valkyrie and Cia, plus Mann Ramblings for his great anthology banner, and AJ for his invaluable tech help getting the anthology live!

You can go back and hit weeks 1 & 2 if you haven't already, but then enjoy this week's scramble.
