I heard on the news a bit ago that Elmhurst College in Elmhurst, IL will become the college in the United States to directly ask prospective students on admission forms if they consider themselves members of the LGBT community. The question is optional and doesn't affect acceptance. Answering yes might qualify them for up to a 30% scholarship against tuition.

I'm keen to publish some of my stories for Kindle and following the instructions on the Amazon website, I dutifully downloaded Mobipocket to compile and produce a Kindle compliant file.

The issue however came when I discovered that instead of the four or five simple steps Amazon put in their instructions, which should't have taken more than a few minutes, I have spent the best part of the last day and a half trying to compile and build my story into Kindle format. Getting the story into the right format wasn't the problem ... well, not entirely anyway.

So what was the problem?

I am working a new version of Jack’s life but it will be a while before I get it done. I have been seeing several doctors over the last six months as my health has not been so good.

I will continue the story when I get to feeling better.

I have been losing a lot of weight and having severe migraines’ that make me cry.
they last anywhere from 3 to five days at a time.

Will post more info when all the tests are done.

So you know, the next chapter of Tracy's story will be a bit delayed. That's why I posted a second one today.

I will be out of town and away from my computer until possibly Monday. And I don't have another set up to send off of editing. Sorry for the delay, but I promise it will get better.

chapter is now up!

This morning, I was using my electric shaver to remove the hair from my arms, legs, and chest when my dog decided she needed to investigate the noise. You'd think a dog would be scared of a shaver, but she seemed to think I needed comforting during the procedure, as she nuzzled me as I worked to remove my hair. I love my little dog.

Going on a family vacation - with outsiders who only know the OTHER you... Are there questions? Are there moments of awkwardness? What about vacationing in a state with no protections?

Crystal Hall is now running on the lilypad server. A few of the links are not working yet but the site itself is up and running. :)

A year or so ago I got upset and removed my stories, the only one left behind was I, Actor,
I did write two stories under an alias they were A Bitter Wife and The Pawn, The name I used was Marcie Diane.
I am now at peace and contentment, my meds work for me and I learned to ask some simple questions for my self:

Did I do something to make the situation go bad?

Do I have control of the situation?

Is it my fault?

When I can answer no to each of them, I go about my business and do not rant or rave.

Something on one of the satellite channels, Mon. 29th Aug, that people in the U.K. may find interesting. Have not seen any previews so I don't know what it will be like but I have set my PVR.

Spotted this story about 12 year old Redvers Stokes who won his village's annual competion with a drag act character called 'Naughty Nora'. Personally, I think his parents have a good, healthy attitude to his act. All to often it is the negative responces that can cause problems for young males who enjoy dressing up.

My new novel is available for purchase on smashwords.

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/83120

It's a comedy about a crossdressing boy and his adventures with his friends in a small town. It's not meant to be realistic or to deal with transgender issues, it's just a zany little romp with lots of off-the-wall costumes and predicaments.

We hope to have it back up tonight or tomorrow.

Got a nice compliment last night. A member of my trans group told me I had a very feminine set of movements and attitude. Made me smile.

I wanted to try and guage the potential reaction before I actually write and post it here when complete. I was thinking back on some of the stories I have read through the years and there is one that sticks out with me. It's called "King of Bandits: Jing" by Yuichi Kumakura. it is somewhat old-ish, with the first printings on the first series being sone in the late 1990's and early 2000's, with twilight Tales (the second of two series) being completed by the mid-2000's.
