I've posted the first part, one of ten, of my latest novel, Soaring With Eagles. This is the last story of eight in the California Saga series. I find the title ironic, as the story seems to be going over like a lead balloon or a fart in a diving bell; there was not one kudo in the first 64 reads. Maybe the introduction could have been a bit more explanitory. As much as many want instant gratification, overnight transformations, misdiagnosed birth sex, etc., it ain't going to happen that way.

Here is the deal, I'm broken.

Been thinking about my brother a lot the last couple of days. Because I'm the kind of person I am, I can put myself in his shoes a bit, and I dont look good from that angle. I mean, he pretty much had to take over for my father and look after me at an impossibly young age, he did his best by me, and then after I got married and he probably hoped things were on their way up, I went and failed to pay my mortgage, leaving him hurt and having to clean up my mess.

Well, I've done seven, yes SEVEN years here at BC! Whoda thunk? I've penned a few decent stories, read a lot of damned fine ones, and made the odd enemy or a dozen or so. In that same time I've also had open heart surgery as well as a worsening of my Cystic Fibrosis and depression. On the bright side, I've made some wonderful friends, for which I have reason to be extremely grateful. Still got a lot of stuff at least half-finished that I'd love to get wrapped up before I make my final post.

Well today is my one year anniversary at BCTS officially (I lurked far longer),Riding the BigCloset Roller Coaster
was not how I was envisioning spending it! LOL Hugs, Taarpa

For anyone interested

A new Gaby chapter is posted here http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/43908/gaby-book-9-chap...

Number 1 A great big thank you to all who tirelessly works behind the counter of our little Cyber Pub we call BCTS, all of you deserve our deepest thanks for your dedication, and hard work.

Everything looks to be running now. I put in a direct link that I know had been corrupted earlier (Fate and the Iron Tiger, part 4), and it came up correctly.

Thanks for all of the hard work!

Yesterday afternoon I was carted off by the paramedics to the hospital. I don't remember what happened, only what people have told me and it is quite upsetting/frustrating/sad.

Many, many thanks to Piper for about 14 hours of hard work! We are up and running on a different server. Now all we have to do is acquire a new server to replace poor Magda and go through this again! No, wait...

Hugs,
Erin

The site was down for a few hours today while Piper and I fought off some reaper bots. We firewalled their ISPs, all of which were in China, and while we were at it, we firewalled out some spammers, too. Took about four hours of solid work.

The rumors of BCs demise were greatly exaggerated. :)

Hugs,
Erin

I'm free! I moved into my new place today. Just got a new apartment 30 minutes from where I had been living. It's so great. It's also very empty since I do not have much. But screw that. I'm free. I do not have to hide all my femine things anymore. I love it. It's also only 5 minutes from my job. I'll save a fotune in gas.

After moving all my stuff up 2 flights of stairs, Food and housewears shopping, moving things around, hardly sleeping for 3 days on top of working and other things, Well I am very, very tired.

Plus, I broke a toe this morning moving boxes. Fun.

this is just not right even if there is no laws to sport anyone

I'm not sure how many of you play video games, but for those that do, I thought you might like to know about a kickstarter project that is about to expire (5 more days), and hasn't reached it's target goal:(

The project is led by a transgendered woman, Dani Landers, who has dreamed up a very lovely story involving a mother and her child. The artwork looks incredible, and, while the team is small (4 people, I think), it looks like it will end up being something that people who enjoy adventures will have fond memories of long after they have played the game.

Does anyone know why FM's down? Just curious....... Taarpa

I'm so overwhelmed by the responses from people.

I'd like to give a big thanks to:

Ole The first to donate

A big huggle thanks to Sephrena for her timely help.

Just kind of curious really? Personally it usually will attract me to a story and the comments themselves.

As everyone knows, I published a new book yesterday. Now this is going to sound a little like grandstanding perhaps, but that's not what I'm trying to do.

Okay! ^^ wooO! Tels balance is now covered! :)

Thank you for helping one of our own! ^^
