The novel "Fifty Shades Of Grey" has seduced women - and baffled blokes.Now a spoof,

Fifty Sheds Of Grey, offers a treat for the men.

It may well be the magic of the Christmas season, or it may be that my depression has, for the moment, gone into remission. But the story I'm working on for the current contest promises to be not only the most ambitious and complex story I've ever done, but the most ambitious and complex story that stands a chance of being completed. (I even have a tentative title: The Christmas Ivy Bloomed--a title with a double meaning in this story).

I am trying to finish up the most recent chapter of Through the years, but life has decided to throw a few speed bumps my way. First of all, my mother is in a hospital in California and about to undergo open heart surgery. One of her heart valves is leaking. Problem is she's not in the best of shape. Osteoporosis and several falls has helped her get addicted to pain pills. So My Dad is worried that this may have been my mothers last Thanksgiving. He also has already given me the warning that he doesn't want me to come out there because of how tight money is.

I've gradually worked out this BC publishing thing (I think). Although I've got another story here, someone else was kind enough to navigate the process for me last time, for which I am now much more grateful than I ever was before.

Anyway, I tried publishing the first chapter of my new novel A Turn of the Cards, but it turns out my chapters seem to be too long for the site (I get repeated 503s), so I'm going to post each section of the chapter instead. I aim to post a section every 2-3 days or so. We'll see how that goes.

Holy sh*t it happened. Some of you have been following the problems I have been having at work lately ( read about it here. And the updatehere )I vowed to not let it get me down and have been trying to move on.

Tonight's Bike made me start thinking in concrete terms about Uterus, ovary, Vaginal transplantation. I have read about it being done magically, and I wrote a tale about it in 2001, and doubtlessly there have been many others before mine.

Ok folks this retail monkey needed a laugh today and got it. Read today's Skin Horse that last panel says it all. We are all hands on deck here at the store and smart phones are flying out the door. In most cases the devices are smarter than the purchasers. If any of you do Black Friday I hope you got some good deals to me this is just another day albeit a twelve hour one. Tired smiles, Jenn.

****Sigh**** I wish I could have gone home to be with My Family for Thanksgiving,but they don't want anything to do with me.But at least I have all of U & Ur Stories on here.U all are like my family now,So Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Ellie and I have decided to merge our writings of Bikini Beach together and form what we will call, the "Canonical Writings" of Bikini Beach. It makes it easier for everyone to find our works in one place. As a helpful bonus, I have asked Sephrena to add a title page to the Bikini Beach series to point to all the fan fiction created for our universe and provide easy access to finding them as well.

So I guess now I need someone to turn my pile of ..., OUCH dottie quit that, well Bill's story into a book and then make a cover(i do have a picture in my head for it) and somehow post it to kindle or soemthing.

I am totally clueless in this requard so advise would be nice.

Thanks.

Cluck, cluck, cluck... Happy Thanksgiving.

I'd like to take this space to wish everyone out there a very Happy Thanksgiving. I hope everyone has a good one and is able to spend it with the ones they hold dear.

I am thankful for:
