Hi everyone

I'd like to thank everyone who has supported my writing over the years and an extra big thank you to everyone who has purchased books, especially the resounding enthusiasm for Book 8.

I'm away for a while soon but rest assured that i will be writing Book 9 on my return, i hope to have it ready for the Gabycon in September - or at least well on its way.

Now that the story is posted, I left the ending open so it might be continued. If any of the author's here at the BC would like to pick it up and continue I would gladly give them my permission to do so.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to be out of pocket for awhile. I don't know how long exactly. I'm going with my parents to see the Grand Canyon, and since we're going to drive it, it's going to end one of three ways.

One of the stories here got me curious about the "Star Wars" series, for purely technical reasons. :) So, I began to watch the entire series again from I-VI. In Epi IV, Han Solo mentioned that his ship would do 1.5 light speed. Hmmmm that is just plodding along and is really not much good for space travel. In Lili's present story, she mentioned that the drive she is peddling is capable of 100,000 times light speed; something just barely useful considering the scale of the Universe, or even our own Galaxy.

I've ben bra shopping. I need a 44 A, I think, and I'm not finding it in the local stores. Somone recently posted some good mail order places for unusual sizes. I could really use that information again!

TIA

Is it a good thing to discover that you're NOT the trailblazer you thought you were? (Preparing to transition in the workplace.)

The problem with an ongoing story is you can only write so much at a time, and eventually get to an ending I know at the moment there are questions concerning the adoption. Just to help with the story line in Canada a child that is 16 years old or older has these rights and more.

Age 16+

You can:

- withdraw from your parent’s control (i.e. leave home) but you may lose your right to financial support [Child and Family Services Act, Children’s Law Reform Act, & Family Law Act]

Well, If I needed any proof that my daughter isnt ready for me to be out with her as Dorothy, yesterday provided it. I had woken up at 330 pm in a panic, thinking I had forgotten to pick her up from school. I hurriedly put on a t-shirt and shorts and ran out to the school, only to find her gone, picked up by my mother, who had told me she would before I went to sleep, only I had forgotten. So I went home, and they came home right after, and my daughter took one look at me and freaked out. I hadn't realized it, but I had grabbed a ladies t shirt I use as a camisole by mistake.

Thanks to everyone who has been patient with me while I figured out how to put my story in the retcon index. It's repeated in some places now but hopefully that will be sorted out.

Special thank go to Enemyoffun, Maggie Finson, those who gave ideas in the forum.
But most of all I thank Lilith Langtree for her patience and for not getting angry that I messed up her page.

I wanted to thank everyone who commented on "White Skates". Its an idea I had a while back, and then forgot until Sunday morning when I got home from work, while I was having a quick bath before going to bed. You know, I should invest in waterproof pen and paper, I get some of my best ideas when I'm in a bath...

Hi peeps

Over the last few years Angharad and I have written a number of pretty much standalone Gabysodes for various competitions and events. Some of these have been widely seen on the internet, others have only limited distribution.

I thought it would be nice to bring a selection of these tales together in one single volume so if you have missed their previous appearances or simply like to see Gaby in print, this one’s for you.

So here it is, Gaby Tales, ten Gabysodes that sit outside of the main stream of either Angharad's or my own main Gaby storylines.

Okay, it's stating the obvious but the evidence hasn't been clear before. As this affects several people who use this site, thought I'd post this link. The interesting thing is that going on a crash diet for a week (600 calories or less per day) apparently cures it.

Hey folks, I've been here for a year.;0 I finally realized how silly it was that my first story here wasn't complete. I've remedied that. I'm not thrilled with it, but somehow I feel closure.

Love And Hugs To All,

"What Light Through Yonder Shadow" has 3 acts. I've finished two of them at the end of each act I put down the main characters of that act. Act 3 will be shorter and I might put the character list before I start.
I have said that I won't create new characters and I'm not although I am using a guest character with another author's permission.
I have taken a while to do act 3 as I have been unsure how to form the picture into words. Please be patient.

Hello people of topshelf, I have finally started to do something other than lurk and post the odd comment, though I've only been here for about a month anyway. So I'll start by telling you how I found topshelf; It's actually quite a long story.

This one's been doing the rounds at work - mainly because one of my colleagues does a spot of cake decorating herself. But you may be more interested in the second extract.

Have you heard Peter Falk has passed away?
