Entering the station, the tweaker struggled, but he was no match for Dirk. "Quit resisting. You're already busted, and you're not getting away." "F-fuck you, man! We weren't doing nothin’." "Yeah? Then why'd you run? You were having such a good time watching your house burn." That was the last straw. Every obscenity was hurled at the bear, even after putting the guy in a holding cell. Dirk stepped aside as Ingle put the other meth-head in the neighboring unit. They turned th

Ooooooohh!! I wasn't expecting to answer questions. How exciting! Let's break down the questions... Influences: My three influences are actually GA authors! @Cia's Carthera Tales, @Rob Colton's Timber Pack Chronicles, and @WolfM's Running with the Pack are some of my favorite were-creature/paranormal stories, and I wanted to create something akin to them all. Throughout my life, I've always had a habit of daydreaming, and it wasn't until recently I decided to put them into action. Err, well... pen and paper. Cernunnos sequel: I'm two chapters in, but sadly, it's going on the back-burner for a bit. I'm a little bogged down with current projects (Death in the Shadows, beta-reading for Shadow Effect, writing an anthology, and editing Love in the Shadows). Once I get a few of those things knocked out, I'll be picking up where I left off. In the Shadows: It is a long plot! Jeezums, I didn't mean for it to be this long! I had a vision of being one book when I started, but characters kept begging to be created, subplots occurred without negotiating with the ultimate end-goal, and aaaaauuuughhhh!! I do know how I'll be ending it... I just need to fill in the gap between now and then. Outline: What's an outline? Honestly, when I started Love in the Shadows and Cernunnos, I was such a newb when it came to writing. I just wrote the stuff spewing from my head, then worked on tying up the strings to ensure the plot to make [some] sense. There was no organization. No character sheets. No plot line. I was such a deranged and chaotic author back then... Deviations: Most of my story plots are a deviation. I get bored very easily, so I think of a tangent plot. Before I can rationalize whether it's a good idea, it's already three chapters later. There's only been one instance of comment section-related deviance, and that was in Cernunnos.

I need to see the hag's face when the suited bears strut inside!!! I need it!!!

Silly author. Porn is also hands-on education.

Scrappy Doo yelling "Puppy Power!" just went through my brain. Thought this was informative

Holy crap, I made it to the first page of comments? Shocker... Wow. We skipped handjibbers and blowies, going straight for the wham-bam-thank ya-ma'am. Elijah, you should watch more porn, young man. You might learn a thing or two outside Kage's classroom... just so long as you don't mimic the *seeth*-ahhhh's the annoying stars do.

Mike Rowe: On the next episode of Deadliest Catch, one of the crews is about to deal with pirates, but what will the captain think when they strip down to their jockstraps to do it? Sorry, first thing that popped in my head.

Colt and his bears are about to get their asses tossed in Lycan Council prison, and I am so here for it! The "brilliant" leader says no exposing themselves to humans, and what game plan do they come up with? Exposing the supernatural to humans. *clapping* Very intelligent, gentlemen...

Working diligently with @Yeoldebard on a co-authored piece. I'm super excited for this year's anthology!! For those authors deciding to take the plunge or not, there's plenty of time left to showcase your work.

YESSS!!! I've been calling it since day one! He may be the scientist that saved Essell's life, but it did cause our resident human to mutate, which may or may not have ended up killing Essell in the process. C'mon Essell. Just let Bouncer do his thing and shred the bastards apart. He's probably still hungry...

The man probably finds consent sexy, especially when he asks it all huskily and smooth... Pardon, need to calm down before going to the gym. Whining?!? I am doing my duty as a GA Blog Staff member. But thank you for mentioning AAA here! For those contemplating whether or not to participate, the AAA can be completely anonymous, and it really promotes upcoming authors in our community. Check out the Ask An Author articles in the Gay Author News portion of the Blogs! Anyway, back to important stuff. SEX!!!!!!!!

It's come to this. The scrapings from the bottom of the piggy bank. Jeez, I don't even have a dust bunny to share with y'all. Well... That's it, I guess. Curtain's coming down. We're callin' it a day. No sense in delaying the inevitable. ... Pfft. Nah. I'm invoking "Take Backsies." I can't just throw in the towel. Time to innovate things! It's a few days shy of July, but I think we can have Christmas early this year. Before I go any further, allow me to soapbox a bit. I want to explain why I love writing the articles for Ask an Author. This is one of the blogs that promotes our hard-working authors, but it's special in its own way. You, the readers and members, get to choose which authors are featured on the site. You get to promote the stories that capture your attention every time, even on the forty-seventh re-read. You are given the opportunity to ask questions about your favorite stories. Yeah, sure. You can do that on your own time and dime via a personal message to said author... But sharing is caring! If you're asking about the story, you obviously find it fascinating. Isn't it a fun experience to share a love with your fellow community members? It's like talking to your best friend about an awesome movie you just know they would find equally amazing. Even as the guy that receives the questions, acts like a Jehovah's witness to the intended author, and posts the articles, I have plenty of fun with this. I see the questions before anyone else, and it often leads me to reading new stories by unfamiliar authors. Knowing this, the blog does its job. That's why I ask for further participation. I won't beg, grovel, or whine. If I don't get questions, you don't get articles, and your favorite authors will have to hope for other means to promote their work. No skin off my nose. AAA would just go away. Questions mean views for the people who have earned your attention, and deserve more than that. Hmm? Early Christmas? Right, right. It's not a present, if that's what you were banking on. Nope, just some good cheer and family fun. Like many of our resident members, some of us take part in the forum games. This edition of Ask an Author is taking that spirit and running with it. How about that? An interactive AAA. When you comment, share one of your go-to stories. Include the story title, @-ing its author, and include a single question you have about the story. Please keep the author's last visit timestamp when asking though. If they haven't logged on in a while, your question might go unanswered. If you so happen to have a question tossed your way, play along! Answer the question, then ask one yourself. Let's make an easy and fun goal of 20 comments. Things may get a little chaotic, but that's part of the fun, right? If the trail runs cold, feel free to pick it up and ask a new question. I'll kick things off with a question for our most recent AAA interviewee, @kbois. Some of us imagined what it would be like if the devil were gay. What was the inspirational spark for your brilliant short story, Wait. What? The Devil is Gay? Now, ask! Ask questions, my pretties!

I wanted a good catch-up chapter. Always love seeing your comments, Patch. Whew! No more characters getting offed... for now, at least.

Poor Mike. Colt needs to be taken down for causing such a devastating relapse. I am hopeful for Shivay. He needed to learn of his father's past. Hopefully, history won't repeat itself. Can we have the next chapter yesterday, Grumpy? Pretty please with a cherry on top?

Always glad to have new readers.

Thanks for reading, Etotsira! Ooof. Speed up? Got this story, writing an anthology, beta-reading for kbois, and editing LitS. Everyone gets their weekly fix as I finish the chapter But, no. Like drpaladin pointed out, it's a methamphetamine lab. They're a dime a dozen over in my neck of the woods. They can be in apartments, houses, trailer homes, storage units, semi-truck trailers, sheds, and much more. This made me laugh so hard. And another project goes in the "to write" pile. Just thought of a mini-series of a supernatural group of four using their abilities for common good, like the old superhero cartoons. Really cheery, almost obnoxious (like cartoons made for 5 year olds cheery...). I'd call it Super Duper Super Dudes! and have them handle such random events. A suspected meth lab, an old lady needing to cross the street, a bank robbery, and a cat stuck in a tree came to mind. "Prosecution, how did you discover the defendants were supposedly making meth." "We sniffed them out." Even if Dirk went smelling around the whole town, the legal system requires probable cause. Imagine all those times in the crime shows (I'm looking at DiNozzo from NCIS) they broke the rule of entering a house without a warrant. Whatever they found would not hold up in court due to them breaking and entering. Although Dirk has the best nose in town, it doesn't do him a lot of good. It points out the bad guys, but he still needs to be a detective and find evidence. Now, now. Hold your shapeshifting horses. We'll get to Kap's pack eventually. Kap put his beta hat on, for sure. Also, not much for Vincent to do in South Dakota. Cyrus did his job way back when. It's what led Cyrus to New York; he wanted to apologize to Kaplan in case there was plans of revenge. Also... Rest in peace, Cyrus' favorite scarf...

The elevator bell rang as the doors lurched open and the pair stepped into the hallway. Cyrus was fuming, and Kaplan had never seen the bear in such a state. It wasn't this bad when Wagner revealed Harold's activity. "Alpha Von—" "No." The answer to the unasked question was curt. That irritated Kaplan. "As your beta, don't go in there with this attitude." Both men stopped, and the ursus' irises glowed forest-green. "Give me a reason." "You're Cyrus Vonder." When the powerful

I've been dissecting this story in my brain, and I have not even thought of this! Ho-Lee-Crap! Very interesting if it were to come. Me? Blab about the super secret thing about the person and the time and the place?

Barry telling the fishing crew about their standard fuck-fest damn-near stopped my heart. Just going balls-deep with telling the truth, eh? For a secret supernatural species, not a lot of tact, but the scene made for a great facepalm and giggle moment. The only way to make Mike anymore hotter for Colt would've been a crop-top tank. 🥵 Nameer has the football. Go, go, go!

Jeez, I'm slacking. I completely forgot about Captain Schmumflerfumperdink. Maybe his and his secret lover, Mommy Dearest, are behind all of this? I need more. Evil people plotting, Essell and Ases are plotting... I need more!

Learning of Kage's upbringing was a sad moment, but hey... were we to expect sunshine and rainbows? Seeing Jay Petermeyer's picture in the cellar caused a potential writing project to pop in my head, and it sounds like so much fun. As the author, I conduct a social get-together with all of my characters. See who becomes friends, and who starts pulling hair. I'm interested to see how @kbois' characters would fare. What would Lex think if he saw Gabriel and Lucifer together?

Awesome! Good stuff!

Go, go go!!! Get caught up, because I'm still posting chapters to the third book on a weekly basis.

Yep, they're in the first, second, and third installment of the series... and possibly whenever I get around to the zombie invasion alternate timeline.

LMAO!!! I love it! I forkin' love this comment! Honestly, coming up with these chapter titles are the hardest part of writing this series. I hope you're enjoying the story!
