We had a great Christmas Day at my daughter's house marred only by the fact that my grandson and his new wife were ill and couldn't make it. We got home shortly after 10 in the evening. I was just catching up on the goings on here on BCTS when the first power outage hit. It was a minute later that it came back. Not to unusual for my little town that only has two feed lines from the electrical grid. Then about five minutes later, we heard a loud boom and the lights went out. No doubt, a transformer blew.

For those who have wondered about the inspiration for the Prince of Speed in my Masks stories, look here:

I am very happy to have a 16mm print of this. In an envelope Jittlov doodled all over. :-)

To all of you who were anxiously waiting for the next chapter of "My Summer in Pantyhose," mea culpa, mea culpa. Christmas Eve got away from me. It's a big cooking day and a lot of prep going on.

I should have posted in the morning before the rush of the day hit. But I remembered that there were a few things that didn't make it onto the shopping list and the Sentry Market in our town has a habit of closing at noon on Christmas Eve. So after breakfast I headed to the store.

Three generations of Robisons seek out the history of Anna and the Joel family.

I am hoping to have the entire series finished in February.

It's been a busy couple of months. My muse hasn't dried up. But it's been hard to find time to sit down and bang out some words.

The idea for this story occurred to me a couple weeks ago on a visit to a couple friends.

So I've been kicking it around in my head for a while. But somehow when I sat down tonight, it just flowed.

I tried to keep it a bit minimalistic. But I hope some of you enjoy it.

Yeah, I know, which of these things is not like the others? LOL - believe it or not, they have a lot in common this evening.

I had just finished reading Emma’s latest posting this evening, part 6 of 8 of her story Who Makes Intercession, and was leaving a comment when my youngest son came in the house - he was eating dinner with us this evening. I finished typing my comment regarding Emma’s story, and got up to eat dinner.

Yep, we are just 7 days away from the 'big' day!

I'd like to recall attention back to my story from January Resolution Revolution It is set now and is eerily familiar in that a fascist power has it out for Transgendered Americans. The one thing it did not get right was that a quantum singularity appeared near enough the Sol system to give transpeople super-powers. I like to think that even when I feel powerless in real life that I can live a bit through a fictional life where all things are possible.

I am looking to have Doppler Press publish yet another anthology of my short stories on Amazon / Kindle.
Firstly a word about Doppler - Profits from this enterprise are applied to keeping BCTS going, so please support this publishing house and their authors, many of whom are part of this community.
But what I am looking for is somebody to help with my next book as my latest foreword writer.

I have a new book out on Kindle which is a first for me, as it is non-fiction. The subject matter may interest some on here,, though, as it is about cycle touring. I have taken my logs from three tours and edited them to better fit the narrative, so it will come across as very 'jerky', but that is a feature.

The three tours are:
Around Western Australia
From Hoek in Holland up to the edge of the Norwegian border with Sweden
From Munich along the Danube to Budapest and then around Hungary

Hello, everyone!

I’ve not been around in a while so I’d like to think some are wondering, “What’s happening with Ms Woolly and her stories?” (Some are wondering about the stories, at best, let’s be honest... :P )

I’m fairly sure I mentioned earlier this year I was in the process of getting a place of my own and had to pause my writing. I now do have a place of my own, which is amazing. What’s less amazing is this place which initially appeared to just be in need of a new kitchen and a coat of paint actually demanded an entire renovation. Oh no!

For fans of the MORFS stories ...

Britney McMaster's original site seems lost, but I have found what looks like not a clone, but a very good recovery site:

Enjoy!

Lynn Oliver is a new author here on BC, and she has put up two of her novels for free download as PDFs!

I haven't read them yet myself but they seem worth checking out. You can find them at Lynn Oliver

If you read them, come back here to leave a comment and some kudos! Lynn will appreciate that, I'm sure!

Poking at the Light project in Scrivener for Hope's Light this morning, I realized that with Friday's chapter the first half of the book has now been posted. Being in seven 'Parts' in terms of its structure, this means we're halfway through Part Four...and rapidly heading towards the tipping point where things steamroll towards the finale!

The Bridge reached 240 kudos. John's Living Nightmare, with its gargantuan hit level, reached 200 kudos, the fourth story to do so.

This post is more to give myself some closure before I move on to other avenues.

I want to publicly acknowledge that I am no saint, I burned my bridges one by one over the years.

Some things that happened that essentially made me public enemy #1 on BCTS I’ve never forgiven myself for being involved with.

This week having a holiday on Thursday, I'm posting a day early; Monday and Wednesday rather than Tuesday and Thursday.

Next week I will revert to Tuesday and Thursday as planned.

Book 2 in the Netherweld series - now up and ready

I've finished writing what I'm calling a "Prologue of My Continuation of My Summer in Pantyhose." It's a chapter by chapter summary of the 24 chapters posted by Jeremy Chandler. The intended purpose is to allow those who've read the original to refresh their memories as to what gone on up to this point.

If you haven't read the original, this probably isn't for you. Binge read "My Summer in Pantyhose" instead.
