And don't forget to leave a star rating and story review when you're done!! Myr said: Don Haratty's "Working it Out" has long been a favorite of mine. It started in 1999 and was going strong when I started Gay Authors, so he was one of the first authors I recruited here. In reviewing the text for the blurb, I once again got sucked into the story. I'm not really sure what it is. The quirky humor? The appeal to a better nature? The vivid physicality of the writing? The Faith? I guess in the end for me it has to be that feeling of striving to be better that the characters exhibit. There is a religious element in the story too, that should, at least, provoke thought and that is something that appeals to my inner nerd. It has been my experience in life that everyone needs to embrace a concept that is bigger than oneself. For many years and in many places, people have embraced religion. Gays in general seem to have wholesale rejected this aspect, but it may not be necessarily so. This story does a good job of showing that without being preachy about it. This story hooked me right from the get go. Read a chapter or two and see if it does the same for you. To read more, check out the rest of the story here:

Did you see Monday's blog post featuring this month's Classic Author story and ad? This month's selection is a short story, so I don't want to share too much of it with you because that might spoil too much before you read it. Andy has a real knack with writing one shots that draw you in and make you want to know (and force him to write) more, and The Leanai Scath is no exception. So much of this story seems like it's just a normal tale, but then there are nuances that let you know that something is very, very different about the characters... and you wished you knew more. This section gives you a taste of that along with insight into the characters. Want to read more? Click here.
