I remember running in a Police Athletic League track meet, and I won two bronze medals; one for the 100yd dash and one for the 200yd dash. My mother was so proud until I reminded her that only three sprinters were entered, so even if I had crawled across the finish line hours later, I would still would have won. I just checked the voting tabulation and was absolutely thrilled to see that "It's You I Like" had garnered its first and perhaps only vote. I am not complaining in the least; I've read all of the stories and they are all quite good.

She Need But Breathe

A lonesome woman on her own
A different path to walk alone
A living hope she wants to own
Before her heart becomes a stone

Yet hope is as a breeze of air
That gently strokes her snarled hair
And while she may be worse for wear
She need but breathe to find it there

-- Lisa Maren Stein

I have a story Idea using TransBike to tell the story, and it is not as sweet, sentimental as the others. In the new story, the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter in the past was the planet Minerva which shatters, and ends all life on Mars.

The Martian Life force goes insane and attacks the Earth. Gaia barely shields the ecology from each attack. The last attack weakens the Earth, allowing Mars to plant a few seeds that only the Dapper Gentleman and TransBike stop.

Does anyone happen to know of a host, in other words a site that can provide (free or paid for) web space for someone who wishes to setup their own personal transgender fiction site?

Between some trouble with Venus Cursed! #38 and not having much time to write (virtually nil!), I'm way behind. Again. Still. Whatever!

First, I'd like to thank all the readers following the Princess series and for their comments. I also want to thank Sephrena for all her hard work with this story. We've had our ups and downs with regard to where I want the story to go, and if I agree with her point of view then I'll allow it into the story. Last night Sephrena called me to look at what she had done and sent an Email of the latest chapter. I explained that I had guests and would look at it in the morning, but no sooner, but that I trusted her judgement on where the story is going, so I released it to be posted.

For all the positive and other comments on Maiden by Decree. My muse had left me for a while there thanks to a month long bout of illness that I won't go into here. Please know that all your comments, even the few negative ones helped me with the story so far and were very much appreciated. And yes even negative comments if made as comments and suggestions, help an author improve the story in question.

I'm writing this as a thank you for all of the folks who have been kind enough to comment on my work. I am fairly new to this apart from the odd paper or two in grad school years ago. My intent, first and foremost, is to encourage and inspire, and I hope I have. My desire is to create authentic, real people that the reader will want to care about and follow, like friends or family. Your feedback tells me that my fictional family is worth caring about.
