Alright, I know some people think that as a Promising Writer I ignore what is happening else where. I don't. I love to read which is how I have ended up working with as many different writers as I do. I think if you check it out, you will find it is that way with most of the authors, Hosted, Promising, or otherwise. We enjoy writing and we enjoy reading. (I'll admit I would like to know where both Andy and Nephy find the time for all their reading and reviewing. I am way behind their curve. ) Any way for anyone who takes the time to read my blog, and thank you for doing so, I'd like to suggest four authors I am presently working with. If you haven't read their stuff please take a minute and do so. First up is Mark. I've been working as his beta the longest. His story is dark, bad, and bondage laden. He takes you down the dark trails of Masters and slaves. It isn't a light read but a dark look at the steamy side of an earlier English life. His story is called The Legacy. Here is the link to it. http://www.gayauthor...ark92/thelegacy Next up is Billy. I came to Billy's story after the story had begun. I liked what I was reading but noticed one or two things that I could do to help him. He was willing to listen to my suggestions and suddenly I had a second person to beta for. Again his work is vastly different from my own. He looks at the awkward growing up ages of his character Andy. From intolerance to religion, nothing is off topic and yet he has a gentle way of taking anyone along for ride with him. The story is still building up a good head of steam so if you get the chance read it. The link is below for that as well. Billy's story is called Trials and Tribulations. http://www.gayauthor...andtribulations Daniel89 I found looking for help as he advertised in the thread. Something about the honesty of his plight drew me. Daniel is not a native English speaker, English being his second language. However his story was something I hadn't read before. What he really needed was someone to tweak his work so it didn't sound stilted when going from one language into another. The poor boy got stuck with an American instead of an Englishman so have a heart if something is off. His story of two men who meet one frozen winter day shows all the heartbreak and tenderness of a new romance. His background deals with horses and that world isn't one I knew so I found the whole thing very special. Take a shot and give it read and comment. His story is entitled Where Horses Dance. http://www.gayauthor...herehorsesdance Finally there is Midnight Man. The poor guy had barely joined when I met him in chat one night. Amazing how some ribbing and kidding around will get a guy to open up. He had this story he was working on. He had the first chapter done and I asked to read it. Well he is two chapters into it now. Again his work is completely different from the rest. He deals with a special breed of people stuck in their afterlife called Harbingers. To say more would deprive you of a great read. Considering again that this is his first piece here I consider myself lucky get to help him. Give it a shot if you like something quirky and dark. Midnight Man's tale is called Harbinger. http://www.gayauthor...htman/Harbinger So those are the writers I'm working with. Each and every one of them talented and original in their own way. I am grateful to have the chance to work with all of them. Now those are wildly different stories worth taking a moment to read. But, hey I'm always looking for something else worth sitting down and devouring. So if you have any suggestions feel free to leave them. In the mean time all I can say is I wanted to spotlight my boys so I am. Give them some love by reading their work, leaving a comment, and letting them know if you enjoyed their tales. I think you will. Wayne
