I wonder whether there are any peeps out there who have published through Amazon's Kindle facility only to discover that because they are British citizens, they have become subject to a 30% withholding of royalties because of American tax laws - the bastards!

Yes you can be reimbursed, but not before you jump through hoops and pay some exorbitant amount to legal notaries in order to prove that you're not some tax-dodging Yank out to save the few measly bucks you've made from selling your e-book on-line.

OK people, I can see an issue surfacing here. Lately there seems to be many more stories involving a culture that I am particularly ignorant of. I've never done any video games, unless Flight Simulator counts. And, I never did any role playing or comic books. I don't even have TV or cable.

So what some of you new authors are dealing with here is your grandma. So, I think a little more explanation and descriptiveness is in order if you want me, or any of us olds to read your stories.

From what I can gather in the stories I have read, the writing is nice.

Yay!

I've been a member here for about five and a half years and I just hit 1000 total kudos.

Thanks to everyone who has read and voted for my stories.

I've been looking up something and came up with nothing. Actually not what I was looking for.

The question is...

Wow, my second story is receiving many more reads, comments, and kudos than the first - way more. It makes me very happy, as I do feel that Duchess is a better story than Grace in some ways.

At least, it seems to flow better, to me. And, writing it is going much smoother as well. Sure, I had a background hearing all of the bigoted crap that was in Grace, but that does not mean I enjoyed writing it!

I'd like to apologize to my readers. Due to my hard drive dying last week, losing all the data on it, having to get another hard drive installed, reinstall everything, working out details for the separation and eventual divorce, and with getting my wisdom teeth pulled yesterday, dealing with the migraines from that, the lack of painkillers and life just generally kicking the crap out of me the past week the next chapters of Bloodlines and Trial and Heiress will be unavoidably delayed. I am working on them, but as hard as it is to focus right now it is slow going.

I need help to decide/create a suitable title for my latest creation.....

I have given birth to a monster.

I have left Growing Up Jenny on the site in order to get some reviews on Amazon. I know that you had to have at least made one purchase on the site to leave a review. But, if you already got that far and already read the book on this site (or if you haven't, why not do it now, it's going to be removed Jan. 1st) why not leave a review. It helps drive traffic to my book and I haven't sold one yet this month :( (makes me a sad panda).

I pulled God Bless the Child from the site like I said I was going to. I hope no one is upset at me, but I did feel it was necessary since I am selling it as an ebook. I did leave the comments in place instead of unpublishing it, because I like have the discussions available for future generations.

I believe that I did say that things would change once I got my paper done. I got my paper done and turned in. That means nothing is left to really distract me from my writing. Enjoy folks.

My reading! Where do all these wonderfull stories come from? Such imagination you'll possess. Please forgive me if it takes a while to get through them. I'll try to leave comments as much as possible,'cause I think far to many don't take the time to do that, and please keep up the nice work! (Hugs) Taarpa

Hi everyone. Well, I am back with another story offering called “Stolen Innocence”. This is a story that involves many characters, but the primary character is a young boy that runs from an abusive situation and finds himself trapped in a world of greed, power and manipulation. He finds his life spiraling out of his control from people that prey upon his emotional weaknesses and his overwhelming desire to find acceptance.

Just to keep everyone updated on my latest work - here is a blog.

Hi

My heartfelt thanks to those of you who have bought my kindle books. I am pleased to announce that my latest book - SKIN - is available in paperback...

I have written a few stories now, some get limited success, have early high hits and then tail off, one or two have kept on being popular slowly accumulating several thousand hits, which is nice to see. But Femboy has just gone through 11,000, many more than any of my other stories. What is different about this one?
Any ideas why?

I have this old typewriter that I'm having a really hard time trying to locate the model number on.

more super savings at Lulu!

Everyone for supporting Gaby in 'print'! I hope you are enjoying reading of Gaby's latest adventures.

I have a busy day ahead of me, our cycling club has its AGM this morning and guess who's secretary? Hopefully, I've prepared for everything except the unexpected. So that's the morning fully occupied trying to take minutes and then make sense of them afterwards. I won't be in the tight skirt and blouse traditional of office wear - can't ride a bike in them.

Then, we usually go for a ride in the afternoon stopping for lunch at a pub.

Just to let everyone know, God Bless the Child is now available in paperback. It did take forever and a day to get it available from createspace, but that might have been me. I still have no reviews for Growing Up Jenny :( I know I had tons of people read it and would really appreciate a review. My goal is to always get to 10 (I only have 9 on GBTC which is :( ) Anyway, you can view my author page on amazon at http://www.amazon.com/K.T.-Leone/e/B009HL529W/ref=ntt_athr_d... take a gander.
