Love, love, love, science. Especially the natural science geared toward animal biology or ecosystems. It's a lot of fun to research.

She worked really hard trying different styles of posts to do something new within the formatting the blog editor wouldn't remove. I'm so glad someone noticed! Thank yous need to go to everyone else who helped make the anthology happen, authors, beta/editors, proofers, and techies!! I love it when events come together on the site like the anthologies. Just goes to show how much we all enjoy the same thing--a great site full of great stories!

Yay, can't wait to read everyone's stories!

Thanks Wicked! I know a lot of worlds I write can be expanded, so I'm trying to do things like using my flash group and the anthologies to do that without messing up my serial story writing too. It keeps me motivated to go back to the stories and write more. I'm glad you liked it, and thanks for sharing your thoughts on the POV!

Aww, thanks Mann! I thought it was funny to use shifters who aren't natural to earth as the 'hunters' for the company (even if Moshe and Lisco didn't actually work there)in the story which had the theme as the company name would be slightly ironic. I'm going to see what the consensus is for the POV. TBH, I can see the next part from any of their sides, so I'm really open to that aspect of the next installment of their story. Thanks so much for reading!

“Seriously? That’s a real thing? You can pay someone to do that to you?” I gaped at him. “Something, not someone.” Keon gulped down half his beer and then belched. He gestured toward the hologram screen on the wall. “They even have advertisements for it.” “That’s ridiculous.” I smacked my glass down on the table. “How can shifters demean themselves like that?” Keon rolled his eyes. “You are such a rube, Nehemiah.” I glared at him. “Not everyone can come from the city.” “Yeah, but you’ve bee

Sure, alien shifters lost their planet lived on Earth. Miah'd never met one, so he ignored all the gossip. Then he moved to the city for school. After years of focus he let loose on the cusp of graduation and headed to a bar with his roommate. How could one conversation about shifters hunting humans would cause so much trouble? Ambushed and trapped, he refused to give in. His life, everything he'd ever wanted, is at risk. Will he find the right way out?

Long time staff, and long time author, Graeme has finally been wrangled into the Signature Author group where he belongs! Yay!

Slices of life, snapshots of a hilarious event like a visit to a farm or a dramatic turn like an AIDS diagnosis, and more can be found among his many shorts. He also has several novels of varying lengths, mostly featuring the ups and downs everyday people, teens and adults, experience in life and love. There are so many to choose from and more being added all the time! Check out Graeme's stories here, and then please join me in welcoming Graeme to the Signature Author group!

Awww, thanks trickyc! I always love driving folks to *have* to comment. lol Sometimes that happens to me too and I know how much I'm enjoying a story then. Sorry for the wait, but I have sooo much coming out and needing to be written that I won't get more on LI til next Wednesday this time.

I really like him too!

It was not a good day. Yuri rocked on the stupid paper covered table. He didn’t like the crinkle sound anymore. He didn’t like the doctors with their endless questions and their needles and wires and stupid computers with idiot questions. He wasn’t an idiot. Bashta was better. He’d curled up on a chair by the window. They’d talked, a lot. The sun glowed on the small cat’s brown skin. Yuri liked the circles on it. The other cat that came sometimes was all tan with no marks. Yuri hadn’t known t

Some people like sleeping pills. Some people need sleeping pills. My husband loves them. Other people can change their diet and exercise routine. EVERYTHING you do for your health should be researched by YOU and with the advice of a doctor when it comes to medication though. I run anemic, but have to be careful of my iron intake too. So I don't take a supplement. But I did drink a low-cal 9 gram protein drink this morning and just had an all natural larabar with pea protein that hit me with another 10 grams, about a fifth or so of what I need for a day. People can have my caffeine when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers though! LOL I do try to limit the soda and drink tea (herbal/natural tea I make at home without sugar, not bottled stuff) when I can. I don't sleep much and don't care too, though.

Those animals are dangerous. Think... untrained colt with skewers. AND they use them too. As beautiful as elk are in the wild, they belong in the wild and not near people--unless we're trying to hunt them when they always seem to disappear! Still, animals can be hilarious. We have a mini apple tree in our front yard that is always popular in the fall. I got this pic this year (safely inside through the window, thank you).

Close, and since I use such weird names that was pretty good. Cavel and Bashta. Just saying Bashta makes me smile. This chapter is a challenge. Yuri is an adult, but he isn't 'well'. He has problems. That doesn't change how he feels, just how he can relate how he feels, how he responds to his urges and others. It's like everything's new, but people are never sure how to relate. He's an adult, he's mated... but he's not a mated adult male in every sense. The pain Benny felt was really driven home in early chapters, which is why I wanted to let Yuri's POV share the scene. There was just something about Benny's breakdown that was more poignant from Yuri's side of their story. There's still so much to tell. Who's watching Yuri? Why? Can the doctors and Cavel and Bashta help him? How and in what ways will Yuri recover? Will he go to live with Benny now or will Benny live with the Falcons? Or will they go somewhere else? Can Yuri handle the changes, coupled with his treatment, and possible memories coming back? Sooooo much to come. Thank you so much for reading, and for always sharing me your thoughts and feelings about my stories.

Yes... that danger overshadows things. I was hoping the small hints of the watching wouldn't let it be forgotten too. Yuri definitely isn't miraculously cured when he sees Benny. If only I were that nice, right? LOL

That's just tomorrow! Yay, right? LOL Thanks for the review.

He wasn’t very tall. Yuri could see the top of his bald head, even standing several feet away. The cat was stacked with rounded muscles on his arms, shoulders, and chest though, and he was breathing hard, his ears flicking back and forth. Yuri stumbled back. He tripped over the edge of the flower bed along the yard and landed on his ass in the dirt. “You’re….” The words died in his throat. He shook his head, blinking rapidly. He was having a hard time breathing too. Ellis dropped to his knees

Happy Birthday, Wings!!

Are we stacking the deck? Nooooo... we'd never do that! Actually, these are just long overdue promotions. Never fear, I won't just be Promising to Signature author promotions. It is always a very good week on GA for readers. Ongoing, complete... there's usually something for everyone. And don't forget, we have all sorts of stories coming out next week with the anthology! I don't know exactly when, but it is coming!

Blasphemer! There is never too much sci-fi to read!

Welcome to GA, Benedicte!

It never feels very long to me! LOL I'm going to try very very hard.

Yes, I am not surprised Benny showed up after Yuri said that. He's been through so much. Thanks for reading... and for the anticipation! LOL
