I appreciate all of the hard work the admins invest in Gay Authors. Thank you!!!

I agree it's sad, but you shouldn't let that stop you from commenting. Many follow Carlos' stories still. And I for one, love to chat about them .

I've seen a similar, but less potentially dangerous , demonstration using UV-light. A quick internet search shows me that something called Glo Germ needs to be applied to hands first. Handwashing demonstrations were all the rage during COVID. My school is still playing one on a loop in one of the corridors.

Congratulations!! A well-deserved honor for a terrific author.

Welcome to Gay Authors!

Not a day goes by when something in the news makes me think, 'What would Carlos have to say about this?' or 'How would Carlos weave this into a plot?' I love that people new to GA get to find his work for the first time. Thank you to the admin team for remembering him by the January 1 anthologies.

Thank you for saying so, Gary. It's a damnable thing, and the list of reasons to worry seems endless.

Wow! So you know how a lot of people hate on JJ and wish bad things for him? Not me. I’m starting the “Evil Must befall Thiel and Musk Club”. I’ll settle for bankruptcy and worldwide humiliation. And as always, I love Will, so perhaps he can engineer this spectacular fate with behind-the-scenes Brad-style machinations.

This is a terrific chapter, Gary. I especially enjoy revisiting Boone's conversation with the sheriff. And the description of the storm is nothing short of harrowing.

Very nice. You can make some tea. I killed basil last year by leaving it in the windowsill too long. I have to remember to move them somewhere else soon.

Aloha!

Good morning! Do you still have frost?

Romance is my go-to genre, but I generally like most fiction, especially mystery, adventure, with splashes of romance. I'm just as likely to re-read old favorites as I am to seek new material. My attention span hasn't been great in recent years, so I often lose track when stories are posted over some longer period of time. In a very out-of-character move for me, I watched a documentary this weekend (Screened Out) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6809010/. Parents are watching it at school next week and having conversations with the school counselors. I think I may try giving more pencil and paper work and less online. It's a conundrum, though, because students do get some benefit from the near instant feedback when they're practicing problem-solving. Halloween is huge at my international school with decorations throughout. We spent all morning on 10/31 having outdoor lawn games and a costume parade. Students and parents for the youngest go 'trick-or-treating', weaving their way throughout the school, in and out of classrooms, with the older students staffing the games and handing out candy. The government is frowning on the holiday this year, so there weren't any public celebrations or costume parties at clubs.

Very nice work. I especially like this part - It feels genuine, and perhaps revealing in the reaction provoked in the reader. Great job.
