I hope everyone has had a great week. In case you missed anything in the various GA staff blogs, this is your opportunity for a brief overview. If you see something that interests you, feel free to go back and take a look. And if you're worried about having missed any of the promoted authors' story updates? Well, we're including those for you as well!

To start your week off, Puppilull was kind enough to provide us with a review of Sasha Distan's series "Best Circle of Hell". Based on the comments, this is a series that many at GA enjoy. Go check out Puppilull's review and if you feel up to it, share your own thoughts regarding the stories.

We try to give authors the opportunity to get their work noticed among the over four thousand stories that can be found on site. One of the ways we do this is the Author Promo. This week, William King had the opportunity to share a couple of stories with you as well as answer a few questions about different aspect of the stories he chose.

Have you been having trouble writing lately? Or maybe you're wanting to try your hand at penning a story for the first time. Our weekly writing prompts might be just what you need. While you're there, you can check out what some other site authors did for last weeks Prompt #456.
