A suitor and a trip to the doctor's office keep Stevie on edge. Once again, I am
a wordy writer, so only read if words are something you enjoy. Also, if you complain
that you don't understand a character's motivation while also admitting you skipped
parts of the story, then... never mind.
I hope you're all remaining well. These are such stressful times. God bless.
The Harper estate, Golden Bluffs, is a living museum on Mansion Row in Newport,
Rhode Island. Once the home of the most important chronicler of The Gilded Age,
Louisa Harper, the museum offers glimpses into Louisa's daily life in 1890.
The staff portray members of the family and staff.
Unexpectedly, a new Louisa is needed...
I am so, so, so happy that Hunter touched so many hearts. Thank you all for reading
and for so many comments and emails. I really enjoyed these characters and I'm so
happy that you did, too. Please stay well! See you all next time!
Our story comes to an end with this installment. I am so grateful that so many people
seem to have enjoyed this story. That really is the paycheck for an author on BigCloset.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to everyone who read the story and many extra thanks to those
who took the time to leave comments and critiques. Have a wonderful winter, or summer for
those of you in the southern hemisphere. I hope to be back with you all very soon!
Stevie finds himself exploring more and more of his feminine side as he settles into
his sister's home and begins caring for her family. Thank you to everyone who
commented on the first installment. I do love knowing that you are all well and
hearing from you. I appreciate your support. A word or warning, though - I do try
to explore the feelings, emotions and motivations of my characters and that
requires using words.
A big couple of days for Hunter. A big dance, a big game and a big talk with his dad.
It's a lot for a little kid whose already going through a lot. Thank you, thank you,
thank you for all your comments and support. Honestly, I was afraid that this story
may not connect with a lot of people. Hunter is a much younger protagonist than I
ever created before. I'm so happy that he has captured your hearts the same way
that he captured mine.
Hunter realizes a few things about himself and gets dressed up to attend his friend's
bat mitzvah party. I am so happy that so many of you are enjoying this story. I truly
appreciate you letting me know that you're reading and what you think about the story.
For those of you who feel that characters have reached resolution already or that
Hunter's health is being neglected, all I can suggest is - read on. Thank you!!!
It's the day before Rose and Ed get married. The whole gang is at Disney World to
celebrate the big event. Everything has been planned to the smallest of details,
so it's bound to go smoothly, right? Hmmm... do things ever go smoothly for Bebe?
This is a continuation of my other Bebe stories and you should be familiar with the
characters to enjoy this story.
As Hunter, with the support of most of his family, begins to become more accepting of
his situation, his father, Bob, is having problems coming to terms with losing his son.
It's Emmy Award time! The glamor, the beauty, the excitement - experience it all with Bebe and her friends.
The story, sadly, comes to an End for now, but I have a small continuation in mind!
As the filming of John's first film role draws near, he struggles to achieve what's
expected of him and self doubt becomes a huge problem for our young actress.
Also, the day of his SRS approaches and that fills him with apprehension as well.
This is not the easy, happy-go-lightly life of a young, successful actress that
he had expected.
Hunter is facing a summer of solitude due to his condition, but maybe there is hope for attending a
different summer camp? Attending would mean some changes, though...
I am truly thrilled that you enjoyed Chapter 1. I hope that you enjoy Chapter 2 as well!
John is examined by his surgeon for the first time, Miss Stephanie is up to her old tricks,
filming for the movie is underway, John faces the horrors of swim-suit shopping, Ed is
searching for the perfect engagement ring for Rose, John has a rare day away from
adults when he and his friends travel to the beach and, through all of this, it seems as
though John's relationship with his sister has not only healed thoroughly, but they have
grown much closer. That's a lot.
Just as summer vacation begins, Hunter's family discovers that he's been hiding two very big secrets.
I hope that everyone is healthy and happy in this very challenging world. Here's a little bit of sweet
fluff that, hopefully, will make you feel better as the story goes on.
Filming begins and John has more and more anxiety. Working with famous composers,
famous costars and a famous director adds new pressures and concerns. Meanwhile,
Ed and Rose are back in Massachusetts, blissfully ignorant of what has been going
on in LA - but even they have a few surprises.
The movie's production is underway, the surgery has been scheduled, and John is ready to become
a complete girl forever, but TMZ has evidence of John's true biological sex, obtained from an
unknown source. How can Bebe and friends persuade them not to make that evidence public?
As always, our heroine is in pretty deep and troubled waters.
I emailed a response to Sephrena earlier today in response to some comments, and especially one from this site and I felt very compelled to respond to.
Why can't things just go along without conflict? Well, it wouldn't be a good story if everything
went well, would it? The stakes rise and the pressure mounts. This story was a long haul for me to craft, so
I am very happy that it now seems to be being received well by this audience.
This section of the Bebe epic comes to an end. While her television career is in high gear and her movie
career is blossoming, things at home in Massachusetts are in flux as John returns home to celebrate
Christmas. Thank you, everyone who has stuck with Bebe and me to this point. We may take a brief
break, but we'll be back soon to explore Bebe's next phase of life.
The saga continues as 21 year John continues to become immersed in the life of fifteen year old Bebe
and learns to cope with her successes and struggles. This one is a tad different, a bit self-referential and
may be a just a little confusing to readers unfamiliar with some of my previous stories and characters.
The family of three return to Massachusetts for Thanksgiving. It is a time of discovery for Ed and Rose.
For John, too, but his discoveries are more difficult to deal with. This chapter is a series of contrasts between
one of the best Thanksgivings ever and one of the worst. It's a slightly different approach for me.
Thank you all for sticking with Bebe and me!
Somewhere, along the way, with my story, the 45th Annual Gala of Tiresias, I have created a disconnect with my audience here.
What did I do in that story to lose you all to commenting?
I am at a loss and would really like to know why?
As the poet wrote, 'You can never go home.' Bebe finds she agrees. Thanksgiving is causing some anxiety
for our heroine, but when she gets home, things are very different than when she left. Can she use the benefits of
her fame to help make things right, or will she just make things worse? Thank you to everyone who is sticking
with Bebe and me, I really appreciate your support.
Well, I obviously did something wrong yesterday when I attempted to post this chapter. Oh, well, better
late than never. Things are moving even faster for Skyler as he plunges deeper and deeper into girlhood. And
now some decisions regarding what will happen after the gala need to be considered.
Recovering from his stress-related illness, John tries to cope with Bebe's ever advancing career.
An old nemesis reappears and threatens to upset the delicate balance of John's life as a teenaged girl.
Skyler becomes more determined to win the Gala, especially after discovering that not all
of the contestants are nice. He joins Regina and Paula for their first modeling gig and then, of
course, life gets more complicated. P.S. There are no music links at the end of this chapter.
Only 2 new pieces are mentioned and they are fairly modern songs that are easily googled
if you don't know them.
