Hi Gang...

Thanks to all for the kind words and condolences over the loss of Codey... who actually passed away last Sunday morning shortly after we wrote last week's News and Views. Tim will be posting his thanks on behalf of himself and Codey's family on the Codey's World Message Board and probably here at AwesomeDudes as well.

I'll keep it short this week... as short as possible with the incredible number of new and updated stories we've posted since last week this time.

We welcome new shorts by established authors AJ, Camy & Graeme. Also welcome this week to Lugnutz... an old friend from the AD Forums and Hylas who makes his debut with two stories.

Some notes: We are gradually adding Feedback Forms to most stories at AwesomeDude. At the same time.. we're adding new Navigation Menu's to all the stories. It is a daunting job considering the size of the site and number of authors and stories... My deepest appreciation to our designer cmbs for all the help in this and to Camy who has volunteered his help as well.

Don't forget that extra step if you really want to join our AD Forums and we hope that you do... After you register with the automated system... be sure to drop me an email at validate@awesomedude.com and I'll manually approve you. Spambots don't send me emails like that so... we'll be sure you are a homo sapien or some related species!

Again show your love and appreciation of all the efforts on your behalf by our dear departed teen author, poet & friend, Codey. Visit Codey's World today.

Have a great week of reading,
