Can you believe that Gaby first appeared over 9 years ago and that the first printed editions came out in 2005? Me neither.

Over the years, many people have contacted me about inconsistences, bad spelling and so on and finally I've done something about it! From today you can get Gaby - The Anime Days 2nd edition which has been reformatted, re-edited (with help from Angharad, thanks again A)and a new cover treatment produced. I hope that overall its a bit slicker and this version will become the definitive one.

Hi everyone I'm back! I got out of the hospital yesterday, and I've been reading some of the stories and commenting, but I'm having a few issues finding time to do everything. I do have the next chapter of Wild Magic, I'm just doing some editing and polishing before I post it. I'll have it up today.

An essay abstract I submitted for a book on Joss Whedon and Theology got accepted. I am really excited to be writing about Buddhism in the Firefly Verse. Should be a lot of fun and a good read.

So my roommate Tanya asked me to help her out while she does a girl scout cookie booth. Well my job is less glamorous. I'm watching the 6 month old child she babysits. It's been an hour and I'vs changed a diaper that caused the dog to run in terror. Now the little ball of joy won't stop crying. I am not a child person. I will be glad when she is done, of course that's four hours from now.

I write at work as some of you know which usually isn't a problem but this was the "lovely" St. Pat's weekend and I've had not much writing time dealing with the massive amounts of "Stupid with a more stupid chaser." So nothing until I recover from the asshattery.

The Family Girl Blogs (aka "The New Working Girl Blogs") Blog #35: Imitation of a Regular Life (2 of 2) To see all of my Family Girl Blogs, click on this link: http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/book/28818/family-girl-blogs

I am a post-op TG girl, as many know, and I have had to make adjustments over the years - from the simpler, visible side of things, like the way I dress and act and sound (and even smell heehee), to more complicated things like learning new ways to live, to relate to others, and to be happy.   No choice, really, especially after I had changed what my therapist calls my "basic physical parameters," which is 21st century doctor-speak for HRT, SRS and the other plastic surgeries.

It's real difficult adjusting to a feminine life.   That's not to say it's unwanted - after all, these are the things I needed to do to accomplish the magical transition that I had desperately wanted, and eventually  have the life I have dreamed about - to have my imitation regular life.

After reading AoifeM's latest Wyld chapter and reviewing the Wyld Universe Rules Page I realized I goofed! I'd mentioned somewhere, probably in one of the 'Wyld Conversation' blogs, that Wyld transformations are instantaneous. They are also supposed to be without pain and usually accompanied by a flash of light. I totally forgot to include that in the rules page, so I've now added it under rule #9. Since I goofed on that, I'm giving AoifeM a pass for Ryan.

She strikes a chord here.

It's not my fault. Really. heh

My book "Reclamation" is now available as an EPUB on Lulu! For the last few months it's been in Amazon's "Kindle Select" program and therefore exclusive to Amazon. It's sold well and gotten 4.5 stars so far (fingers crossed) and now it's part of the Lulu distribution so will be at the iBookstore for Apple folks, Barnes Noble for Nook folks, and Lulu for everyone else.

Enjoy!
Karin

Lulu is having a sale--the headline says it all. Through March 15th--that's this Thursday!--buy three books and get a fourth free. The code is "FOURLEAF".

This is also a shameless plug for my "On the Road-Again" series of, ahem, four books ...

Ok can't recall the title, but the story is about a boy who moves to his half sisters place who has two children. There is an aunt and uncle who try to get the now girl back bevcause they want her money from a fund set up by her dead father and the aunt and uncle are absusive

Also a trans male named Sam becomes a boyfriend

See I just opened the lappy and did the logging on thing and then went to do ..stuff.. and I brushed and slipped a folder from its lodgings to somewhere else. Ack, stoopid trackpad. So I open the folder and cut and paste it back where it lived. Then just for the hell of it I have a quick scan through the contents.

Now this folder is 'My Stories' file. Everything I've written, started, Blogged, had edited, it's all there. But then I come across this little file. I don't recognise it at all 19kb Oct 2010 at 1.20 am.... so I open it and...

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!

Mads

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
