Don't know if anyone is looking for a real-life inspiration for a story, but I was just reading a Wikipedia article about an anti-baldness drug, and in the discussion of its discovery/development was this sentence:

"In 1974, Julianne Imperato-McGinley of Cornell Medical College in New York attended a conference on birth defects. She reported on a group of intersex children in the Caribbean who appeared sexually ambiguous at birth, and were initially raised as girls, but then grew external male genitalia and other masculine characteristic post-onset of puberty. "

I have a question.

Last week I announced that two of my Kindle eBooks will be available for free downloads; they're available tomorrow, Friday and Saturday! Many of you have been kind and purchased these already, but newcomers may find them a free introduction to my writing, as well as my stories here on BCTS.

Role of a Lifetime is about a middle-school boy who is cast in a TV pilot, where he must play the son of a family on the run, but disguised as a girl. And things happen ...

It will be available for free Friday and Saturday, September 13-14.

This is a good day, kind of. I am no longer in the writing phase of my next novel. I wrapped up the first draft earlier to day of "Unreachable"" (I dropped the word "The" from the beginning). and now I am onto the tedious part of editing. The book is 240k words long, so a bunch is going to be cut off to get it to a respectable length. I overdid the beginning and I think I can lose that without hurting the story.

It has gotten to the point where authoring is no longer a hobby. I have money coming in and money going out and I need to do a better job of keeping track of everything. Now that I am advertising I have money going all over the place and when tax time comes, I'm going to be screwed if I don't get things in order.

Have several chapters of Maiden of Bronze finished, but proofing has been delayed. Body make over is moving along and havetwo other stories in line for final edits but spent 6 days recovering a new clients data from a crashed server sort of out of it, probably need to sleep for a couple of days data recovery finally complete.

sort of in a daze, will get the stories out soon, also getting the twins ready for orientation at CALTECH in a couple of weeks,

Love you All, Goddess Bless you all

Our Love is shared and returns to us stronger

I started reading an old K.T. Leone story, The Adoption of Little Orphan Danny. In the 3rd chapter there is a reference to an old Little Katie story, "The Boy who Wanted to be a Girl."

Way back at the beginning of July (shock! horror! --- THAT long ago!) I posted the quote "New (and Final)" endquote map.

I lied.

I thought with all that has been happening I'd provide a small exerpt from one of the stories I'm writing. Understand I haven't truly edited it and its still raw. But so you all know Mel is 13 and Dwayne is 14.

Lisa walked into the apartment when she heard the voices coming from the bedroom. That's right shove that piston in. Mel said.

Do you think I used enough lube? The boy asked.

I hope so I don't want it to be scorched. Oh god that feels good. Pump it some more.

Listening the conversation seemed to get worse.

This is of course in reference to Bike 2135.

Horray for having things to post again!

I've just poked my head out of the ground to start a new multi-part story, Pirates. I've been concentrating on writing novels (not always with TG themes) and other matters. I'd like to announce that two of my Kindle eBooks will be available for free downloads next week. Many of you have been kind and purchased these already, but newcomers may find them an introduction to my writing.

When I heard this talk on "TED Talks", the woman's story surprised me by its practicality. There are lots of concepts and ideas there that can be used by us all. Many of those ideas are exactly what I had to learn in my own recovery.

I hope that many of you will find this as useful as I did.

I am really happy that something I did in the most recent chapter of Written in the Body played off well. Something I have been setting up for half the story was made clear and that is a slight trans element in a side story. People were surprised but supportive. It is playing out really well and that makes me happy. I have no idea how many of you are following that story but I was just excited about that and wanted to share. :D

I have just submitted 'Ride On' for publishing on Kindle. The best way to find it (for it isn't up for another day or so) is to search on Amazon books under "Sussex Border Stories".

When I set out to write ‘No Greater Love’ I used a story I thought was from the ‘Iliad’ by Homer which was written circa 760-710 BC. It is the one that tells of how how Thetis, the mother of Achilles, fearful for her son’s safety sends him off to the court of King Lycomedes of Skyros to live as a girl rather than risk death in war.

'No Greater Love, A Novel of World War II' is now available as a Kindle ebook from Amazon along with other works of mine.

Hello everyone! I'm in need of some help. Some years ago I wrote my first book, Heroes of Justice. Finally I've got around to getting it ready to go up on Kindle, but for one small problem, the Cover. I understand that there is a service were you can for a low price ask for a cover to be made for you. That's great!

However, you still need to have some idea of what to ask for since the artist has more than likely never read your story.

I'm starting to think that, no matter what I do, I'll never be able to top "Op Rescue- The New Co-Ed", at least in my mind. It may be my Magnum Opus, my best that was, is, or will be. I'm getting the muse back in action, and the work is a new Op Rescue story about a young boy who was a runaway - even though it will be multiple chapters, I can't see it even living up to my feelings about New Co-Ed.

If anyone has been wondering where the updates have been lately its because I've been suffering from a very SEVERE case of Writer's Block. Though I'm happy to report that I think I've broken the Block.

I probably won't be continuing the Misty story for a bit though....I'm a bit stumped with it. I do have another quick story in mind though...one that I think fans of the DRU will be happy to see.

This is more for curiosity than anything else. Has anyone heard anything from Aardvark in a while? I know I haven't been doing much around the site for a while other than lurking but I haven't seen Doug in a long time or even heard from him. Just wondering if anyone has heard from him and how he's doing. Thanks.

Jerrie

Is continuing today with chapter 2!
