I just wanted to say that I have recently had the opportunity to chat with Ms Bishop, via e-mail, and have found her to be,
as are her stories, highly intelligent, and yet warm and approachable.

It is currently day 3 of my Florida vacation with my parents and my cousin, and a vacation means that I actually have the time to get back on the site again! Woo! But that time shall pass by briefly, as once I get back to Ohio I need to get back on my work/school thing.

Even with the tail end (at least, I *hope* it's the tail end) of a sudden squall is passing overhead as I'm typing this, it's been fun thus far and I'm looking forward to the sunset sailboat cruse that's lined up for tomorrow, pending the weather.

Hello again!

This is an updated Who's Who that contains certain spoilers if you haven't read the first book yet. So, go read that instead of this, alright? :)

This is a short video of Lexa dancing at Napoleons in Manchester during the Sparkle weekend.

Boy can she move!!!

Many people think I am always sweet and kind. Last night I was a bitch.

I'm Sorry.

Background : After the intro chapter describing current events in Hong Kong where michael awakes from a night of passion with a 'male' colleague the previous chapter gave the background of events leading up to his trip to Hong Kong. It explained how Michael was thrilled to be promoted and suddenly found that instead of taking on new responsibilities with financial benefit he was to be discarded and made redundant. Worse than that he was being passed over for Vanessa who he often baled out and who was taking advantage of the Company.

Typing "The End", and "To Be Continued" was something I didn't think I'd ever do. I've written before; I've done writing in one form or another ever since I learned how to put letters together into words. But I've never actually written anything beyond twenty pages or so (for fiction, that is). This has been a very exciting, sometimes frustrating, but mostly enlightening experience. I think I like it :)

Here's another big thank-you to everyone who kept reading to the last page, for all the great advice, eye-opening critique, and clever speculations that sometimes had me in giggles. You're all wonderful people, and I'd love to write for you again soon!

All the hugs,

Well, this is surprising to me. I wrote this blog in the midst of writing my latest love story, a full on, unapologetic TG one too. As I am writing this story, I am also re-reading 50 shades, watching the news, and processing the romantic proposal of a Muslim Imam.

Am I so far out of step with the folk here that my time has passed? Is it time to go?

As some of you know, I write Romances and over time, some of them have gotten quite soppy, and my naivete has made my life adventurously interesting at times.

Yes I need help in the biggest way. I need to know where I can go to have a cover designed for my stories. I made a mess of Assassin and I don't want to make the same mistake with Show Me The Money. Can anyone recommend a reliable service? Arecee

I'm a supporter Sky Pro Cycling, Wiggins, Froome, Richy Port, et al, at least for the last 2 years.

The first story that I wrote for this site, actually the first story I ever let anyone read, was a piece called Life’s Pathways. I posted that story a little over a year and a half ago, and the story was poorly written, and poorly told. Despite that first feeble attempt, my story was received by the members of this site with warm and kind words, along with a lot of offers to help me improve. That reception was probably one of the biggest motivations that kept me writing.

First off I'd like to start off this blog by taking a bit of a poll... I know I'm likely to get a broad range of answers, but I'm wondering what is your preferred length for a serial? I will try chose the more natural breaking points, but really its not that difficult with my writing style to find a good break points. Right now I'm leaning towards breaking things up into pieces ranging from about 3000 to 6000 words, but I was wondering what you guys and gals all thought.

Now on to the rest of the blog...

Dormouse Blog.

I read a comment at the end of Leigh Anne - Chapter 11 that said this chapter needed to be reformatted so that the reader could read it either on Internet Explorer or Firefox. I don't use any of these. I use Google Chrome. Now after looking at this chapter I find it has been reformatted. I know this because the lines are shorter. I am sorry if I offend anyone, but, I write like I do for a reason, which to date, nobody has said they finally figured it out.

So, I've had an interesting week. I guess I should start from the beginning. I was hanging out with friends, and we watched pacific rim. after that we went out and had super nachos which is this big nacho plate. anyways. after that we broke up and it was just me and my friend who we all call Jacob or Jake. So we were driving around, chatting and the conversation shifts to high school and college. Basically, in my junior year, I dropped out got my GED, and lost contact with all my friends for a while. While growing up, I was trying to hide the fact I was transgendered from everyone.
