No good deed goes unpunished as they say.

So, I put up chapter #98 and almost immediately decide that I have made a mistake. Unfortunately, I had a trip to the US to organize, and my readers have already supplied many comments... enter the rewrite from chaos.

S E E de-confusion

Hi all,

I have noticed a little confusion with Penny's latest offering.

Penny has been away recently and slightly rushed out episode #98 just before she left.

Yep, I'm going to go on a rant. I read where people join this site and are afraid someone will out them for actualy reading TG stories. OMG, you've got to be kidding. It's like every one you know goes right to Bigcloset and looks to see if someone they know is on the site, give me a break. In the first place, who gives a crap what you read and secondly this site is so way beyond being noticed that your friends could care less what you read. I know I'm being a jerk, but if I cared about what others thought I wouldn't be here in the first place.

It has been brought to my attention that Pope Francis is considering appointing the Irish theological scholar Linda Hogan as the first woman cardinal of the Catholic church. I wonder if he got the idea from the story I posted here many years ago.

As I promised in my last blog I posted my emotional story 'Brother's Request' last week. I knew that story was a real tearjerker and thought for a second story I'd post something a bit lighter and sentimental. I think 'Mystic Godfather' fills that role pretty well.

Embers Ongoing.

This blog is meant for odd thoughts and short rambles on a single character: Wilhelmina Atwell, the aftermath(of a sort :))of William Zane's temporal intervention in my story: Embers Dying, Spark The Flame http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/28624/embers-dying-spa.... It's designed to help further her sadly neglected history, and generate a more cohesive over-view. This is my indulgence in exploring what happens after the Happy Ever After.
Entries will come as topics of interest pertaining to Embers, then and now, present themselves.

Hope you enjoy it.

Just in time for both St. Patrick’s Day and the Centennial commemoration of the First World War. ‘Caitlin’ is the story of a young Irish officer caught up in two wars, one being waged against the Central Powers and a second, very personal one as he struggles to come to terms with who he is amid the chaos of world war and the rise of Irish independence.

Just thought I'd give people a quick update about what has been happening with me and writing lately. To be honest, I'm not sure what's happening to the DRU. I've tried to get my last two stories flowing but I just can't seem to get either of them moving. I'm not going to quit though, I'm just going to try brainstorming my way around the problems.

In the meantime, I've come up with something else I want to dabble with for a bit. Its not DRU or any other universe, its a stand-alone that was inspired by a manga I've been reading recently. So I hope everyone likes it :)

Whoo, what a slog this has been so far! Nevertheless, I'm only about 10 pages away from finishing Part 1 of the revamped "Oh, Cheers," or "Phoenix Soars!" as it will be called in its final Kindle release.

What started out as a 42k 3 part story is already at 33k so far, and diverging greatly from the source material. I'm literally at a point where, for parts 2 and 3, I'll be going through and making notes of a few key parts I want to keep, but for the most part both parts (as opposed to my initial plan for just part 3) will be almost entirely new material.

Erin and her magnificent crew have just reposted Simoné and the Second Time Around. If you enjoyed the story please give it Kudos, as they have been lost. If you haven't read it yet, please do and comment. It is my latest addition to the Cynthia Chronicles series of stories. I think it's a sweet tale.

How does my new posting read?

I have combined From Knight and Courtship and I think it combined well but I am wondering how other readers feel about it? Does it flow together well since they were written several years apart? Do they fit well together? If you read it please give me your criticism. I am thinking of publishing it on Amazon kindle and want to make sure that it is as perfect as I can get it. Any thoughts on it will be accepted as I am my own worst critic.

Selling fiction on Amazon.

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Blog About: 

Author: 

I've read some blogs on Bigcloset lately about selling your book on Amazon and Kindle. My question, does it actually work? As in does it actually make money? I'm not talking about a payment of 100-200USD once in a blue moon, I'm asking if it's enough for someone to live in conditions that can be described as middle class in a city like, say, Boston for half a year.

What are the pros and cons or special considerations for selling in such a place?

From Knight To Dawn

I have combined all of From Knight To Dawn and the Courtship of Dawn together. I would like to get it ready to publish and I would like some one to proofread and/or edit it with me. I want to make sure everything makes sense and I am not a good judge of my writing. If anyone cares to volunteer either comment here or send me a message here. Thank you.

It's coming to that time again when I ask what you, the reader, thinks about Bike, should it continue are you happy with the storyline and so forth. I'm disappointed that the number of reads is down as is the number of comments and kudos, but I accept some of that might be due to the recent hiccups with the site.

Hi Everyone,

In case anyone is wondering where today's post of Dollar Runaways is... well it'll be posted tomorrow. I posted in one of the stories that I was dealing with some real life stuff, and today was basically one of the most major things to deal with. I'm okay, but an unexpected promotion and the fallout leading to that promotion have made life a little crazy! Not to mention just a little stressful! I got home late enough tonight that I'll have to format and post the next chapters tomorrow. Hopefully life will smooth out now for the foreseeable future!

I'll have the post up tomorrow evening, thanks!

I think I mentioned it here, but I know I definitely mentioned it on Facebook. After all the hubbub of the bad review, I received an email from a pastor in Teaneck New Jersey (oh the imagery that comes to mind) who wanted permission to mention my work The Transsexual and the Cross in a blog. I never have issues with that and thought it was nice that he asked. Well, I assumed it was going to be a paragraph or two. It's a few pages and pretty much is a detailed outline of my book. Here is what I posted on FB about it:
