Sometime last evening, I read a new chapter of A Longer War by Cyclist.

This has proven to be one of my favorite stories, and many of the chapters have had a serious impact on me - especially the early ones. As the story progressed, it continued to stir my emotions and sentiments - although for different reasons. But this latest chapter, lake many of the early ones, has stricken a particular chord within me.

Thanks to Cathy for her hours and days of reformatting Change of Heart back into something readable. She has to be a trooper. For all of you who commented. For all those who gave me a heads up on where the story line was way off from being close to the truth. For all those who gave me information on the story line missing necessary data.

Thanks is not enough. But sincerely thank you. I truly appreciate all of you sharing your knowledge and your skills.

This play seems to be very topical AND good. In SoCal now it may be coming to your area. Stay alert. "But how can a straight dude explain to his wife that the cash he’s hauling home is coming from a new line of work that involves full makeup and falsies? But what’s most memorable... is the tenderness between Burnap’s Casey and Okoro’s Jo...Casey may still be a boy but he’s a lovable one. And as he grows into a man by discovering himself as a woman onstage, he becomes even more endearing.

Yes indeed, it's Good Friday, start of the longest weekend of the year.

I've been working like billy O to get Girl's on Fire finished for you and i'm pleased to say that from today you can access the complete book at Lulu and Amazon. For technical reasons (I'm writing this on the phone!) I can't give you direct links until Sunday but you know where to go right?

So at Amazon you can get Kindle and Paper versions and at Lulu, PDF and Paper.

I hope you all enjoy it and please if you can leave feedback/reviews and I'm happy to hear your comments either here or via PM.

Just wanted to confirm that Gaby - Girl's on Fire part 4 will be available from the usual sources tomorrow, that's Wednesday 12th of April.

The 300 plus page full volume of Book 19 is taking a little longer to put together - it will have a character appendix and I hope to include a basic location map too to help readers make sense of some of the story! I am planning to have it ready for release this weekend - something to read over Easter!

So ttfn

It looks like Spring has sprung outside, I'm down to one coat indoors - lol.

Anyway - the next Gaby chapter is available now!

The other top news is that I'm ahead of the game with writing, 5 new chapters completed since Wednesday so with just one chapter to write tomorrow, Part 4 of Book 19 should be out on Wednesday. If you are hanging on for the complete volume that, with luck should be available at some point over the Easter weekend!

“YOUR NAME” the movie - Mitsuha begins switching (genders) bodies with Taki, a teen-age boy at a Tokyo high school. “Make me a handsome Tokyo boy in my next life!”

I'm not a fan of anime movies or cartoons but many people are. So here's info that you may find of interest. For move info & reviews Google "Your Name".

Enjoy the movie and your weekend. Donna T

Hello <3 I'm Nyka, I'm a 25 year old trans woman and I also happen to be a graphic designer.

When I first found this page it was because my friend Melanie introduced me to this place. ( https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/user/rasufelle if you are so inclided)

Complete or not? It is up to the reader as the end of the story got a little sketchy. The author was moving the tale around too much and losing continuity as if she had lost interest and was in a hurry to be done with it. The other indicator she was tired, she had moved away from dialog for the most part to description in order to try and get finished. (dialog is one or more people talking. descriptive is a recipe or history book)

Hello All

Angharad has asked me to let you know that she had computer problems last night. Hopefully, she will be back online in a day or so. I am certain she will be back blogging and writing 'Bike' as soon as she can.

Her priority, naturally, is in her university course work so please no fretting.

Love to all

Anne G.

I could NOT do a hundredth of the research coming my way without the help of so many eyes out there catching the items not making main stream news. Once again I thank phydeau for her support. Please understand transgender are individuals and are not produced from an assembly line where all think alike and have the same opinions and ideas. They aren't mass produced in an evil lab to take over the world. About the only thing in common they have is they are some of the most intelligent people one will ever meet.

My son's fiancé sent me a text earlier today, which although not unheard of is at least unusual enough to catch my eye.

She sent me a short note that said, "Just want you to know that you inspire me. Love you!"

I cried when I read it, and I am crying now as I type this.

She reminded me of something. Today is Transgender Day of Visibility, and although most of us just want to live our lives quietly and peacefully, attracting as little attention as possible, please help those you can to understand who you are - who we are.

I seem to be going from one thing to another at the moment, if the leg wasn't bad enough I've now got some inflammation in the face which is causing a degree of deafness!

Maybe one day i'll be back to reasonable health!

Anyhow, you don't want to hear to much about my woes, you want writing and so today you can get the next Gaby chapter, Invalid.

Does anyone know what happened to Elsbeth and Barbara Allan.
I noticed that they have not updated their stories in several months'
I hope they are both well I greatly enjoyed there work.
I love Elbeth's Season of Change and Barbara Allan's White Wolf

I'm trying to find a story which I read some time ago. I believe it was titled My Father's Working Vacation, or something along those lines. I have not been able to find it for some time and was looking forward to reading it once again.

A little something for the Grammar Police.

Bizarro Comic

Thanks to phydeau for the heads up.
Many of you are not into this subject. That is as it should be. For me it is not a job but life for I have softly pushed, shared, consoled, enlightened, and debated transgender rights and issues forever it seems.

Too much time on my hands?

The next arc of Gaby book 19, Girl's on Fire is complete!

Look out for this second instalment available though the usual outlets from tomorrow. I'll post direct links as soon as I have them.

The only question now is, what's the Wunderkind gonna get up to next?

Mads

I'm not posting all the links. You may find them here if you're interested.

Many of those who frequent BCTS do so for the unbelievably excellent story telling of so many talented authors. Others come to have a place to share their own telling of stories.

This looks like a page from an admittance application for Whateley!

For those in the United States, don't forget to set your clocks ahead one hour tonight. At 2:00 AM most of us go on Daylight Savings Time - unless of course you live in one of the odd (not a slur, just different from the majority) areas that does not make the change.

So remember, at 2:00 AM it's really 3:00 AM - for those of us who can't sleep, we get to spend one less hour staring at the ceiling over the bed, listening to soft music, and praying that our demons remain at rest for one more night.

I'm missing LNP now that it has ended.

Anyone want to recommend something else to read? A story where the good girls win please; nothing dark---too much of that IRL.

that there wasn't an update/posting on Sunday - family day and no internet!

But here's the chapter that should have been posted - Planning for Mischief.

I was hoping to have the next chunk of book 19 ready for the weekend but a meeting Monday and a wayward muse yesterday have both impacted the time line so Part 2 could be out Sunday or it might be next Wednesday.

Well I think that's everything

enjoy
Mads
