I received the following message to day from Goldie's sister. I thought I would pass it on to you all.

Jerrie,
It took a while to find the story you mentioned. Goldie's filing system was really weird and it took forever to find it. I've attached it to this message. While I was trying to take care of everything in her computer, I came across a letter she had written to you a week and a half before she died. I thought I would add it to this message and let you get it that way.

Dear Jerrie,

I’ve been thinking of some comments written in my ‘comment section’, and, yes I was less than thrilled. Oh, I’m a big boy now, I can take it, but? To my eyes they are just stories and you neither have to hate nor love them. I mean, it’s not as you’re going to bed them, are you? Most of my stories spring from experiences, either directly or ‘second handed’ through others experiences and life’s, but as for the truth of them? Well, somewhere I expect they have happened, or possibly will, probability alone almost guarantees it. More than that I won't offer..

I need opinions here.

I have a few short story ideas I'd like to throw about. They are transformational gender-bent stories that have, admittedly, taken a little time away from Accidental Magic. though some are just random ideas made into small vignettes and mostly unfinished...

...Would anyone be interested in reading them?

Hey Everyone! As most folks who've read any of my stories knows I write mostly Sci-Fi or Fantasy based stories. While at the Sci-Fi writers site today I spotted this article and since it's about writing decided that is would be okay to post here. It is of course "Why Fantasy Matters" and in my own humble opinion rocks!

One of the stories to have circulated through the site in the last year or so, included the use of Tea Tree oil but it did nto seem effective. Well, the real science is even stranger. Enjoy http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/145763/tea_tree_oil...

I am after a story I recall reading a few years back, cannot remember the story title but there was a ts boy in it that had built up a stash of clothes in an abandoned railhouse and found a suitcase with a load of female clothes in it an assumed that persons identity.

would really like to read it again

A few days ago we had a discussion on this board about GLBT and its in-fighting.

Thanks are due to Erin for allowing this discussion to continue, even though it was frought with peril. Thanks are also due to all those who took part in a civil discourse regarding an important issue.

After thought, I felt a need to clear my remarks publicly.

I said, "No . . . Penny. Your anger shouldn't be aimed at those who lump you in with gays. Your anger should be at those who have saddled you with the prejudice that makes you feel upset that you are considered gay."

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to apologize for my sudden and extended absences over this past year, and hopefully try to shed a little light on things. This isn't an excuse, mind you. I know the internet is by its very nature very transitory, but I feel like if I'm ever going to get past this, I need to get it out in the open somewhere that I feel safe in doing so.

It's been a really interesting year for me. I feel like I've grown and learned so much about myself since that fateful first blog post nearly a year ago. But at the same time it's been quite rough.

Hello again! That song was just playing a bit ago and should give you a clue as to how I've been feeling the last few days. I'm really getting tired of it (the feeling, not the song. I rather like it ;).

Anyway, I thought I'd drop in and let you lot know I'm still around, if not as active as I'd like to be. Seems like every time my muse makes an appearance and I start to get some writing done, I get all depressed again! What's with that, I ask you?!
