The Past, the Present and the Future walked into a bar.

It was tense.

The following video shows a wonderfully vivacious transgender woman. And, CNN gave her great and respectful coverage. As to her appearing in the Victoria's Secret show, who knows?

Okay, I've been wracking my tiny little pea brain, trying to remember the title of a multi-part story I read some time ago that I'd like to re-read, if only I could find it. First of all, it is similar in some ways to the story "What Was lost" in that it also involves the purchase of storage lockers for resale, but the one I'm looking for was the story of a mother and son team. At one auction, the son purchases a locker which contained a lot of nice furniture, as well as a large amount of clothing, makeup, etc. The boy starts dressing in the clothes, and so on.

I've come to realize that I have a curse upon me. I don't know which witch doctor from which tribe or perhaps an old Sicilian gypsy that my Great Grandfather stole sardines from, but it has become evident.

Summer Girl 4 will be up soon. sorry, I wish I had time, but it will be up and it'll be great...I hope to have it posted by Wednesday....

I'm going to be posting and commenting very infrequently since work's taken a turn for the busy. My boss is out long term and my schedules been adjusted to be a lot busier. I will still try and do what I can within bounds of time and other RL stuff like family and sleep.

The seventh volume in the Sussex Border Stories is now up on Kindle. A search for that phrase (SBS) will bring up all seven, and a link to my author page.

There, I've fulfilled my public service duties for the day.

What ever happened to Lilith Langtree?
I have enjoyed so much of her writing, and it has just stopped.
I hope she is well, and will continue.
She offers us so much.

In just about any story, whether it be a TV show or a written work of fiction, the writer often finds he or she needs to include a nameless character in the mix in order to make the story more interesting or carry a scene. I used to refer to these as throw away characters since many of the ones I included in my stories shared the same fate of the extra crewman Captain James T. Kirk often included in his away team. You know the guy, (and they were always guys in the early Star Trek days), the one who went behind the boulder and was zapped.

It's been a while. A long while. But finally my illustrator is devoting a whole week to doing the drawings on the children's book "But I'm not a boy." There are two pictures already posted but this will be the complete thing. I've had others turn me down because the girly activity the main character wanted to do was too stereotypical. Oh well. Onward and Upward.

Three years ago I signed up to BC.
Then on 2010/11/18 I posted my first story. My, how time flies.

Although it is actually the second cooperative effort between Persephone and myself, 'God Save the Queen' is the third of our works to be published on Kindle under the names HW Coyle and Jennifer Ellis. It started as a lark but took on greater importance when Crewman Number Six decided to take a more important role. More on that later.

We both hope you enjoy it.

One of the main characters in The Drowning Girl by Caitlin R. Kiernan, the viewpoint character's girlfriend, is a male-to-female transsexual.

So here I am, watching the read totals pile up on Unreachable but the kudos staying put and feeling sorry for myself. I tend to compare myself to others and how they are doing far more often than I should.

So I do what I normally do. I check other numbers: namely sales and reviews. For kicks, I go to goodreads and come across a review that leads to a link that leads to a greater review. All I can say is WOW!!!! Did they give me the royal treatment and I didn't even ask.

I wanted to share the link out of courtesy and maybe those who get ebooks can look at other reviews.

Well, I think I am giving up on Fictionmania. The last couple of stories I've posted there have received no comments at all.

The Stormlord Trilogy by Glenda Larke (called the Watergivers trilogy in Australia, and maybe some other countries) is a secondary world epic fantasy, consisting of three volumes, The Last Stormlord, Stormlord Rising, and Stormlord's Exile. I wholeheartedly recommend it as a fine adventure epic with nifty political intrigue, knotty moral dilemmas, clever and consistent worldbuilding, and emotionally affecting characterization. The reason I'm mentioning it here is one particular character, a FtM transsexual. He doesn't appear until the third book, but he has a fairly major role to play when he appears.

I have a couple of post that are the same with just a different format to them .. If you want to run with the story line in them you can .. As i see three different directions for them to go. . So feel free to take them over and put your own spin on them ... Lets make these Stories BCTS.. I would luv to have every one put there shilling's worth in to them...

Okay folks it's update time.

This has been driving me slightly mad on and off since I first made mention of this race of aliens in my latest story Battle for Earth and since I've been unable to find the right spelling myself I thought perhaps I would turn to the folks here for the solution. The name of the race is the 'Ferlesh'. The main issue I've having is with the spelling of the name itself. I actually like how it sounds, but I loath the way I've spelt it. I've tried every variation I can think of and this is sadly the most tolerable of the lot.

Barbie Lee has graciously allowed me to edit and post her new story, "Jessica Rabbit." It was originally posted last week at Fictionmania and, having read it, I felt it deserved to be here with so many other great stories.

I have corresponded with Barbie several times since then, doing the edit and making sure I would be able to do the story justice and abide by Barbie's requests that certain parts of the story remained unchanged regarding coloqualisms and other things. We have exchanged several emails and I believe I got it right.

I guess I will never understand the denizens of this site. "Severance Pay", has in my opinion ALL the elements that would make most of you go goo goo, yet the kudo count is low! How come?

I can see Authors not being impressed with my writing but this is beyond the pale.

I haven't posted anything here for a while, but I haven't been idle. I've finished several first drafts recently, and would like to get feedback on them from beta readers before I do final drafts and post them here, or offer them for sale on Smashwords and the Kindle store.
