About this author

Born and bred Cleveland, I earned a degree in technical theater, later switched to costuming, and headed to NYC. Finally seeing the futility of trying to become rich and famous in the Big Apple, I joined VISTA, ending up in Chicago for three years. Then it was on to Denver where I put down roots and worked as a costume designer until just recently.

I began writing five years ago after joining an on-line fanfic group. Two friends and I then started a group for writers where they may post any story they wish, no matter the genre. I’ve now branched out into writing on my own, primarily m/m stories, both erotic and just ‘romantic’, for publication.

Virginia Woolf

“True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.”
Kurt Vonnegut

Neil Gaiman
“I can believe things that are true and things that aren't true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're true or not.

I can believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and the Beatles and Marilyn Monroe and Elvis and Mister Ed. Listen - I believe that people are perfectable, that knowledge is infinite, that the world is run by secret banking cartels and is visited by aliens on a regular basis, nice ones that look like wrinkled lemurs and bad ones who mutilate cattle and want our water and our women.

I believe that the future sucks and I believe that the future rocks and I believe that one day White Buffalo Woman is going to come back and kick everyone's ass. I believe that all men are just overgrown boys with deep problems communicating and that the decline in good sex in America is coincident with the decline in drive-in movie theaters from state to state.

I believe that all politicians are unprincipled crooks and I still believe that they are better than the alternative. I believe that California is going to sink into the sea when the big one comes, while Florida is going to dissolve into madness and alligators and toxic waste.

I believe that antibacterial soap is destroying our resistance to dirt and disease so that one day we'll all be wiped out by the common cold like martians in War of the Worlds.

I believe that the greatest poets of the last century were Edith Sitwell and Don Marquis, that jade is dried dragon sperm, and that thousands of years ago in a former life I was a one-armed Siberian shaman.

I believe that mankind's destiny lies in the stars. I believe that candy really did taste better when I was a kid, that it's aerodynamically impossible for a bumble bee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that there's a cat in a box somewhere who's alive and dead at the same time (although if they don't ever open the box to feed it it'll eventually just be two different kinds of dead), and that there are stars in the universe billions of years older than the universe itself.

I believe in a personal god who cares about me and worries and oversees everything I do. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn't even know that I'm alive. I believe in an empty and godless universe of causal chaos, background noise, and sheer blind luck.

I believe that anyone who says sex is overrated just hasn't done it properly. I believe that anyone who claims to know what's going on will lie about the little things too.

I believe in absolute honesty and sensible social lies. I believe in a woman's right to choose, a baby's right to live, that while all human life is sacred there's nothing wrong with the death penalty if you can trust the legal system implicitly, and that no one but a moron would ever trust the legal system.

I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.”
Neil Gaiman, American Gods

Do you really think this is what the Founding Fathers (banned as sexist; replace with "the Founders" or "the Framers") had in mind?

Sub Genre: M/M Romance
Book Cover Rating: 4
Kisses: 5

Blurb:

I couldn’t locate a blurb for this short story at the end of G.A.’s book, Julian. This is all I found. So, we’ll go entirely on my review of said story. I just hope I do it justice. I am posting the author’s BIO for you instead and a note from GA.

Bio –
Born and bred in the wilds of suburban Cleveland, I earned a degree in theater and headed straight to NYC. Waiter was me, well aside from a brief stint at an off-Broadway theater. Finally seeing the futility of trying to become rich and famous in the Big Apple, I joined VISTA and ended up in Chicago working at a home for troubled boys. From there it was on to Denver where I’ve been ever since, working as a designer at a costume shop until just recently. I started writing ‘bout three years ago when I joined an on-line fanfic group and discovered I truly enjoyed it.
Since then I started my own loop with two friends and branched out into creating primarily m/m stories, both erotic and just ‘romantic’. I have a son who’s off making a life of his own so I now live with a bossy cat, a decent computer, and enough books to start a small library.

In honor of writing my 50th book this year, each new novel of 2010 will feature an unpublished author’s short story. Introducing Edward Kendrick’s erotic tale;
BETWEEN A STONE AND A HARD PLACE
I hope you enjoy it. G.A. Hauser


Review:

Edward Kendrick is a name I haven’t heard until I came across this story of his by way of GA’s book, Julian, well that and the whisper of a sweet friend, who pointed me in the right direction showing me the story.

Seeing as how the story is short, I can’t give away too much without ruining it for you so I’ll keep this as spoil free as I can.

Between A Stone And A Hard Place, is one of the sweetest short stories I’ve read in a long time. Mychael and Stone, the story’s main characters meet at work quite by accident one night when they both stayed late. Winston, who is known as Stone, is from New Hampshire and has only been in town for a couple days so he knows almost no one and asks Mychael if he’d like to go for a drink to unwind. Mychael, who shares a home with two other men, hesitantly agrees because the idea of going home to an empty house has no appeal whatsoever. Stone chose a bar nearby so they’re able to walk and talk about where they’re from and their families. Mychael is from my home state, Chicago, so of course I took an instant liking to the guy. He’s a bit reserved at the start simply because he isn’t honest with Stone about his situation at home.

The two get along very well once they get over a misunderstanding that almost ended the relationship before it even began. They have a few drinks they get a little drunk, and dance. That hot dance gets the blood to moving, the emotions to soaring, and the mood is set. They end up at Stone’s to take care of business and let me just tell you, Edward can write a hot as hell sex scene without making it dirty.

For a week these two are inseparable. Mychael fails to go home, no one’s there anyway, and because they work together, it’s very convenient to car pool and all that. They get along well, and even begin working out with one another…NOT in bed okay. They go to the gym and get all sweaty instead, before they hop in bed. Well, one day after a nice workout Mychael gets a call he isn’t able to ignore and things heat up.

The only complaint I have is one that is common with short stories. I wanted MORE. These two well drawn out characters became almost real to me in under the thirty pages they’re a part of. I want to know more about them. I want to know what Stone did in his past. I want to know how Mychael met his room mates, and most importantly I want to see Mychael and Stone as they are now. This story is so well done that it left me with wishing for more. Dialog was easy flowing, very natural and real. The characters believable and so very likable. I loved the plot and the hot as hell sex. But most importantly, I found a new author I’d like to get to know.
