My new book, "Role Of A Lifetime", should be available at Amazon in the next few hours. They've assured me the glitches I saw in the preview aren't there, so I have to trust them.

And trust you! For those of you who commented and wrote me that you prefer Kindle versions, please let me know if your copy is okay. If you've read my other books, you have them for comparison, for formatting, table of contents, and so on. The general look of the thing. If there's anything amiss, I'll fix it.

well, I planned to meet a friend for lunch today, so I got a little femmed up for the occasion - skirt, hose, heels, necklace, lipstick and eye shadow. I had a nice lunch, and am doing my laundry with no hurry to change into pants for work. Its hard for me to explain to someone who isnt trans how .... nice a feeling this is.

OK this is my first blog ever so I might mess it up, I'm GreatSage and me, Michelous and Crystal Ash have just released page one of our new Webcomic.
It is called Wishful Thinking 2.0 and tells the story of Riley, and his wacky friends dealing with Riley's magical transformation into a girl.
here is a link to it on Smack Jeeves, I hope that you enjoy it.

I posted quite a long comment on the 'Out of Canada' blog today, but it was about something that deserves a wider discussion. I came across rather a good link which sympathetically addresses the issues involved, and gives quite a lot of detail and history.

went to a bible study run by my brother's church last night. It was pretty good, and they called me Dorothy without hesitation. Not sure what they thought about the whole thing, it simply never came up. But the end result is I got what I want more than anything else - to treated like the woman I am.

All in all, not bad.

There is a new Karin Bishop book: "Role Of A Lifetime"

It's available now in all formats at Smashwords here (some folks have complained about Smashwords being tough to navigate):

Having a little difficulty with the Amazon Kindle version, but should have things ironed out there in a day or two. In the meanwhile, Kindle versions are available at Smashwords, as well as EPUB, PDF, and other formats. And it's only $4.99!

Here's the synopsis:

Meh. I had originally intended, and openly written about, calling chapter 49 of Somewhere Else Entirely "A Day of Ceremonies". Fool! I ought to have known better! Some of my minor characters had other ideas...

So, everything suddenly exploded on me, as unintended consequences frequently do.

One thing I have a bit of trouble with is understanding some of the school references.

There seems to be a large difference in terms and some are very confusing.

I will list off the ones for canada that I know(although there is some new ones being used which are mostly slang type in cities)

age 4 - preschool/daycare - for children of age 4 or younger stay most of the day and not much is really taught to children.

age 5 - kindergarden - children are in school for half a day. Learn to write names mostly.

There seems to be a lot of "negative" news stories coming out of my country lately. The transgender beauty contestant or the gender not matching appearance on a passport as prominent examples...

Well, here's something that provides a little hope. Ontario looks like it's poised to take a step forward in transgender rights: changing gender without SRS.

Although I'm sure the comments will be a mixed...

I am just full of excuses.

I actually had this lastest episode of Wrong side of the bed written a few months ago, but one of my beta's suggested a few changes. Before I could do so, I had my car stolen, it was recovered 4 days later at the cost of $1,000 total due to towing and repairs.

So, as I am working through issues on 300 Rains, I have decided that I need to throw out a new story. And to that end I have decided to play in the Dark Realms Universe. I have finished the first chapter of a story and this should be a lot of fun, at least for me. I think the character is a hoot and should be entertaining, at least for some measures of entertaining.

If you haven't read EOF's Dark Realms stories, you won't get this.

Dick Clark, the music industry maverick, longtime TV host and powerhouse producer who changed the way we listened to pop music with "American Bandstand," and whose trademark "Rockin' Eve" became a fixture of New Year's celebrations, died today at the age of 82.

Clark's agent Paul Shefrin said in statement that the veteran host died this morning following a "massive heart attack."

Well, I just came home from a tour of the school Sam will be going to in September. It looks fantastic. I think she'll do well there.
