I had sort of noticed this phenomenon in that my most recently posted story had only received a fraction of the hits which I would have normally expected, but I shrugged my shoulders and put it down to the fact that I had just not connected with the audience or I had a bad authorial day when I wrote it.

Then another author bemoaned the same effect on her latest posting and wondered if it was to do with the recent up-grade. So..I went investigating, a la Nancy Drew or Susie and Jeffrey, but more cerebrally and without the mayhem.

Here are just some pictures i have drawn over the past week for my new story. I hope you all enjoy. For more, visit my deviantART page http://ram0naflowers.deviantart.com/

POST FEEDBACK IF YOU WISH!

Here are the PICTURES!

...that I finished the first edit of The Amulet of Adventure. I now have no other story hanging over my head for a while. I only have school and other stories hanging over my heads for now. This means I can catch up on 300 Rains (since I found my notes as well) and other stories. It should be fun.

Hi Everybody,
     I know i posted this before, but it's been a few months, and I felt it time to re-post this note.

Some of you may know, but other's probably don't, that I've been making book covers for not only my own, but other people's stories.

I make these using Stock Art purchased or found freely (royalty free archives) off the internet.

What Lies Beyond Twilight was done a while back, and is a little cluttered, but has nice pop/visual and I decided it needed showing.

Hey everybody, my Wyld Universe is officially open! And yes, this is my second blog about it, but the first got pushed off the front page so fast hardly anybody saw it. :( But I found a message in my inbox this morning expressing interest (How cool is that?!) but not knowing the universe is open and figured I should re-post.

The next instalment of book 8 is now up, enjoy!

My story scrolled off the front page today. It is still part of Short Story Month - February 2012,, which ends soon. I did not put a teaser on the story, which means it does not show up there, and when I looked on the Stories it is deeply buried.

Transgender Author: Why I Decided To Become A Woman

Interesting article from the authors pov regarding trnsitioning and how she coped with her wife's questions and concerns.
This is a sort of a continuation of a prior blog of mine.

I'm sorry for those who are waiting for the next chapter. I am still having internet issues with computer and can't seem to get the phone to teather to the puter. I also have had several other ideas pop into my head and wanted to get the stuff out of my head. I do have a couple of Tracy chapters almost ready but working on something and need to get it looked at twice for the contact, must make sure I don't mess up bible wise

For those intending to "borrow" text from my stories or posts here or in the website, fictionmania.tv, or in other websites, I am stating directly and without any qualification, exception or limitation, that I am not giving permission for any part of my stories and blogs here and in other websites to be used in other stories, posts or publications.

Sorry for the delay in Seasons of the Witch but real life has been interfering with my writing. Its a combination of several things including very little sleep, a certain video game and the beginning of a cold. I hope that it will be done soon but seeing as I've got less than a page of Ch.7 written it might still be a few days.

Thanks for the patience,

Due to the number of inquiries I've been getting as of late...

A number of people have been asking about writing characters that have already been chosen. Sadly, I have to tell them that those particular ones are unavailable at this time, because other people have chosen them.

There are a number of authors/potential authors that have chosen characters and after a number of months, and in some cases over a year, have posted nothing.

During my little "TG-PMS" time, someone said to me my writing comes across as very female. I'm wondering, in what way? What makes a woman writer different from a male one?

To all of those interested I posted a list of all the songs, Groups, Broadway Musicals, Composers, DJs and characters that are in my story, Who Wears Short Short Shorts?

It can be found as a comment to the story. Please pardon the way it looks, but my carefully constructed chart failed to make the transfer from Excell to the site.

Thanks for reading the story, the comments, the P.M.s and the Kudos.

I'm Sorry to bother anyone taking the time to read this, who has also been reading my 'You Have it All Wrong four' But i've noticed a sudden drop in the number of people looking at it, and I'm begining to wonder if people have gone off it, or I've just pushed the story line as far as I can?
I would like to get some feed back as to whether or not I should just give up on it, and focus on other stuff instead. I also don't want to keep posting it and taking up space that better writers could use.

Finding out how many people read my story, that is, rather than simply clicking on it, giving it a cursory examination, and then going onto something else. When I last posted a blog on this, I was surprised how many responded with a closed answer that, "It was impossible."

I'd like to take a moment and talk about my Phoenix stories. Those who get bored easily might want to skip this one.

"Stop it, Jeffrey."

"Stop what, Susie."

"Obsessing over whether 'a' or 'the' makes the line funnier."

"One wrong little word can kill the comedy, Susie."

"Not with me, Jeffrey - I could read from the list of Huntingdonshire cabmen and still raise a horse laugh."

"I think that may be a joke too far for here, Susie."

"As is a lot of our stuff, Jeffrey, but we can't do anything about it now, so let's expend our energy on some pre-publicity and see if we can waylay a few new unsuspecting readers."

After reading Dorothy's Blog, I decided to go to My Account to see how I was doing (Yes, I am that vain. I'm weak, I know. Somebody spank me?). Anyway, I noticed a Favorites that really shouldn't be there, but I can't seem to remove it (I don't have permission?). I know what happened, sometimes when I hit "comment" I accidentally hit the Add to Favorites tag. I really do need better glasses! How can I clear out my favorites file so I can add the stories I really love? If I keep adding favorites, will the old ones be pushed out of sight?

One of the original 5 has decided that, due to issues in her real life, she cannot continue as a contributor to the Reckoning storyline. We will miss her, but we intend to continue. I'm sure we all wish her well as she tries to get her life in order, and we thank her for her participation thus far in the story.

We will continue using her character and powers, but her part will become more like that of an NPC in a role playing game. We all want to thank all of you who are sticking with us to see how this experiments turns out, and we thank you for your comments.

Can anybody tell me why it is, that when I click on a story name, I get the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"? I thought maybe it was just one story, but I have tried clicking on them all that I could see on the main page, and I get the same thing for each story.

Love & Hugs,

I always hear a lot of stories about people having to cope with jetlag, and all the little tricks one can do to overcome it. Well, did you know, besides being a wonderful website, BCTS is also good for avoiding jetlag...

to anyone who may have liked Noircoleptic, another adventure of Peabody Aloysius Dirkenhammerwoodsteinovitch (the P.I. what knows what he knows) will be coming hopefully before the end of February.
