So yesterday I took a look and my story, "Ithycca: Chapter 1," had reached 1000 readers. It's kind of a big moment to me. I'm so happy people are reading and commenting on my stories and appreciating what I do.

I've not been a member long- nearly two months. So to become a beloved and respected member here is really a blessing. I wanted to give out my thank yous. And, just ahead of time, if I don't personally name you, that doesn't mean I appreciate you any less!

I'm on the phone with her right now. She's been having difficulties, some people ripped her off and the bank and police are giving her a hard time. She needs some local friends in the Tampa area.

Hugs,
Erin

I want to introduce y'all to this author on BC. She's a damn good writer and has penned some really good stories that are posted here. She's even got a story/novel on Amazon. Who is this paragon, you may be asking?

My new book, "Role Of A Lifetime", should be available at Amazon in the next few hours. They've assured me the glitches I saw in the preview aren't there, so I have to trust them.

And trust you! For those of you who commented and wrote me that you prefer Kindle versions, please let me know if your copy is okay. If you've read my other books, you have them for comparison, for formatting, table of contents, and so on. The general look of the thing. If there's anything amiss, I'll fix it.

There is a new Karin Bishop book: "Role Of A Lifetime"

It's available now in all formats at Smashwords here (some folks have complained about Smashwords being tough to navigate):

Having a little difficulty with the Amazon Kindle version, but should have things ironed out there in a day or two. In the meanwhile, Kindle versions are available at Smashwords, as well as EPUB, PDF, and other formats. And it's only $4.99!

Here's the synopsis:

One thing I have a bit of trouble with is understanding some of the school references.

There seems to be a large difference in terms and some are very confusing.

I will list off the ones for canada that I know(although there is some new ones being used which are mostly slang type in cities)

age 4 - preschool/daycare - for children of age 4 or younger stay most of the day and not much is really taught to children.

age 5 - kindergarden - children are in school for half a day. Learn to write names mostly.

Hey Gang,

Just wanted to remind you or inform you that you can leave reviews on Amazon even if you didn't buy an item from them. We have several authors now who have put their wares up on Amazon and need reviews and stars to help others know how good they are. I've left a couple so far for stories I read, one on here and one on Kindle. As I catch up with my reading I plan on adding more reviews.

Unless anonymity is an issue, lets all leave reviews for books/stories we've read that are on Amazon for sale. Spread the word with good reviews and 5 stars!!

Sorry, another 12hr day, too tired to write anything tonight, especially having spent the previous hour listening to a friend whinge on the phone.

Hopefully will feel better tomorrow.

I've renamed The Lanyon Chronicles to The Jekyll Legacy:

The Jekyll Legacy by Jaye Michael and Levanah Greene

Victorian alchemy meets modern science and magic.

New video games, so the more writing intensive stories like The Season of Change and Blood, Dust, and Silver are being put on the back burner for a while.

I'll still be working on them, but probably not going to get much done. Might get a new BD&S by friday, as I'm already halfway done with the new chapter.

Luckilly I've had the Minion Eighteen story brewing for a while, so I can probably knock those out pretty quickly.

Firstly, just to let everyone know what I'm up to.

Something that really annoys me (and I know it will annoy many of you) is to be reading an enjoyable story that is never finished.

I plead guilty to doing just that... too often for my own liking, so I apologise to all who desperately want me to finish several of my stories.

I make no excuses, as I just get carried away with too many new ideas.

I am making this Blog post for two reasons, one; to keep you updated and so you will know why I'm not posting any new material for a while,

Hi.

Just a not that I have managed to get a short story published in the latest edition of Transliving Magazine.
See the direct link here: TRANSLIVING

For those that are interested, this is the blurb on the issue in question: -

TransLiving Issue 37 --- The world's largest and best-selling full colour Transgender & Cross-Dressing Lifestyle Magazine.
Available as an eBook or hard copy.

In this issue:

I don't think there will be any new part being added to my Project Guardian book two this week due to SamanthaK having some real life stuff to sort out.
I've not seen her to speak to in a few days now, so I don't have any more details for you. I can only guess that real life has once again struck.

Sorry to the few people that were enjoying the story, and I hope that it will continue soon.

hugs

Well. That's the end of 'The Ram'

Some have said the end seemed a bit rushed and a bit cruel. I feel I must in part agree with them. Not all stories can have happy endings and death comes to us all sooner ... or later.

I was getting slightly jealous of Daphne and wondering where to take her. This ending exorcises any lingering problems I had.

Help!!! I just read about the top three worst female health habits and that’s me!!!
1. Wearing high heels
2. Carrying a heavy handbag
3. Sleeping in make-up
Could I finally have crossed over? OMG let’s hope so.
Who cares about 4. Matching men for drinking? Maybe No5. I should worry about that is wearing the wrong bra size. [Surely I’m bigger than 38C.
Nobody is interested in 6. Harboring regrets but 7 could be a concern that is being obsessive about my appearance. No 8 No emotional eating for me. Too many pounds to lose!!

Hi there my name is Dan (hi, Dan!) and I wanted to share a few comments about my story 'down the rabbit hole' as well as a few personal points. The initial premise came to me about two years ago with a dream that ended in me falling through a portal into a park. I didn't see any further in that dream because I woke up right afterward.

There is a new Gaby chapter posted today but there won't be one next week as i'm away in Germany without a computer.

More in two weeks

How time flies!

Seven years ago, plus a little bit, I signed up for this account. My first chapter of Amazon was posted here shortly thereafter.

It's been interesting.

Special thanks to Erin who keeps this madhouse running ... ;-)

QUESTION??: Does anyone know what ever happen to Wanda Cunningham as she hasn't been on this site with any of her stories since 2009??

It's been one of those days! I had been writing a very effective dialogue between two people and it was just clicking along. I couldn't get over how well the story was coming along...and then, kaaaapooooowwww! I got the blue screen of death! Lost it all...sigh! Trying to remember what I typed once again...remember, save early, save often!!!! Gah!

we'd all like to know how we did with our first real action chapter. Please give it a read and let us know?

Thanks everyone.

Cathy, Erin, Maggie and Grover.

I apologize to the readers of my story, but I'm stuck! I have about 90 percent of the next chapter done, but I'm having some issues with the remaining parts. I've been working on several different endings, but I can't stand any of them, and I won't post crap (well, not intentionally. anyway). I'm going to back off for a while, do a little editing and read a few stories I'm way behind on, and then attack the story again. Hopefully this won't take very long. Once again, I'm sorry!

Last week I wrote part one of my new series Ithycca. After writing the beginning I needed to find a way to keep myself from getting bored. I guess I'm one of those people that like to read the good parts of a story and sometimes get turned off if a story drags along.

So, I decided to write the story in a different way. Basically I'm writing the good parts in my head first, and then adding in the parts leading up to them as I go along. I actually find it rather enjoyable this way.

Of course that means I have chapter 4, 5, and 8 done, before I even got to chapter 2, but eh.

Work has been taking a bit too much of me lately, so I've been trying to be very consistent about carving a piece out of each day to write.

I'm working on a three-part story that was inspired by the current contest, and it's great fun to work on.
