Hi Gang?

Another busy week at AwesomeDude? so let?s get right to the new stories and chapters.

This week we welcome a new serial novel by the only AD author who lives in the same time zone as your dude? that is Rad Steven who brings us Chapter One of Fixing A Broken Heart. If you liked Rad?s two short stories? you?re sure to enjoy his first novel.

Codey and Graeme collaborated on our new short story for this week? The Best of Friends. This story combines the efforts of two skilful writers and the result is greater than the sum of it?s parts. Give it a read!

Updated serial novels, now?

Jeet by Josh ? Chapter 11 is posted? another excellent er? stimulating chapter. This story has everything? hermaphrodites, eunuchs and hunky athletes. Don?t miss it.

Desert Fantasies by Jack Scribe moves along with Chapter 2? life and love in Sin City!

Staking My Claim by Nickolas James moves on to Chapter 7. I hope Nick himself is not like his character Andrew? who seems a little short of respect for his family.

Buzzards, Hawks and Ravens by Ruwen Rouhs ? Chapter 5.1 has been posted. German author Ruwen weaves this interesting tale of love in the dark ages.

Sky?s The Limit by Captain Rick ? Chapter 10 of Book II focuses on Jonah again? and his slow return to health if not happiness. Sky doesn?t appear in this chapter? sigh.

Saga of the Elizabethton Tarheels by Sequoyah ? In chapter 29, our high school heroes face harassment as news of their relationship elicits threats against them and their friends on campus.

Some site info?
