Petey's real first name is...

Hi. I’m starting a sequel to Taylor. All the proceeds go to BigCloset just like the first one.

I am looking for friends here. I want co-authors and readers. Anyone game?

It will start with brain storming, creating an outline, and then writing. Anyone can pitch it to help move this process along. Everyone will receive credit when it’s published.

As you already know from my work, I don’t have a lot of ego leading the way. So, anyone or anything is appreciated.

Give it some thought. It’s for a good cause.

While reading a really sweet story by Melanie Brown called "Just Friends", a song by John Lennon called "Beautiful Boy" was mentioned. Intrigued by the song title, I decided to look it up, and found a recording of it on YouTube. After listening to what turned out to be a very pretty song, I found out it was written for John's son Sean. I'd only heard of Julian before, so I did some research, and discovered that even though Julian had basically been abandoned by his father, he'd still had a good relationship with Sean.

From the next (currently being written) Masks story:

"We occasionally tell people that this island was used as a base by the Dread Pirate Roberts, centuries ago," said the Commander, straight-faced. "That the place was built-up and maintained by the descendants of those left behind to guard the treasure. It's amazing how many believe that."

Look i'm from England, weather is never far from our thoughts!

So, after a while of not writing (and other real life changes) I have found my muse again and am going to try to be actively writing and posting once again.

Over the last few years, I’ve started to medically transition, my wife and I own a home now (which, admittedly, eats at writing time) among other health issues that I now deal with. I have time to write.

The two stories I’m going to focus on mainly are Emma’s Story: School Days and In Her Fathers Footsteps. I hope to have a new chapter of Footsteps up this week.

Thanks for putting up with my absences.

Hi everybody! I just wanted to let ya's know, after a really long dry spell, my muse seems to have woken again. I'm currently working on the next chapter of Janegirl Camp, and am about ... maybe halfway through. Even though I'm feeling a bit unsure how long my muse will keep going, it's def nice to be writing again! :)

The past few days I've taken time off from work to plow ahead with the writing for this extended weekend. Progress has been slow per day but steady, and I'm pretty happy with how it's been going.

New DOUBLE size Shadowblades is up!

the TWINS ARE BACK at it and in a biggeeeeeeer size post

have fun reading! AND POST COMMENTS!

I've just read what there is of "We Shall Fight on the Beaches" and am surprised that it was not finished.

Was the story ever finished? Does anyone know anything about the welfare of Sue Brown? She wrote just lots of very good stories. I hope that she is well.

Let's hope September is less 'eventful'!

BCTS hosts a *huge* variety of stories.

Horror. Science fiction. Fantasy. Real-world. Romance. Erotica. BCTS is home to them all.

But.

I've seen a bit of a disturbing trend popping up in story blurbs on the site, and it has me... concerned.

well heck now they are making keyboards for my elves!

finally took you humans long enough!

I am trying to finish "Amadeus Irena" by Shawna on Kindle. I have to say that it is expertly written and a hard read. I am vulnerable to significant depressive episodes but still muddling through it. I hope to finish this week end. After that I am going to try to find some Sci Fi for teens.

Gwen

BCTS is probably the most important constant in my life.

Some might consider that hyperbole... but in so many ways, it's 100 percent true.

Without the community this site has provided, the outlet for both creativity and pain, the *outreach* it has allowed me... I wouldn't be here today.

Without the wonderful people here, who are so incredibly generous in so many ways, and the love and support they have given me, that I have done my best to return in kind, but know I can never truly match... I wouldn't be here today.

Without Erin.

Without Angie.

finally have a new story up:

Thank you to all those that read and gave kudos to my latest short story "The Assault".

I was a little nervous when I posted it, as it is about a potential rapist getting some degree of comeuppance. I know these things happen and did not want to trigger any unfortunate memories.

I can't sleep tonight and I just saw it has reached 100 kudos in just over 24 hours. I have never had that happen that quickly before. I'm not sure how it will go down on the other sites I post on. I suspect some will just delete it.

A long time ago, someone offered to edit my stories, and I was grateful. They are deceased now. The results were not good in my estimation. I don't remember if that story, or chapter ever got published. Since then I have gone over what I have written sometimes a half dozen times before I published it. Sometimes stories just go comatose on my Hard Drive because I can't get it right.

At least i'm not going to bore you with it!

and into next...

Just a short note to give readers a heads up about what is to come for the remainder of the year and for early 2023.

First up is a 2-parter called 'Surprise'. A bit of fantasy coming true.
Then there is a 17-part story called 'A Quest for Justice'.
This is a political thriller set in the current day USA.
That should take until the end of December to finish posting.
My backlog then is still rather fluid but there is around 6 months of work in the can, and another 6 months of postings in my WIP folder nearing completion.

Big Question - I just received a PM from someone who purchased Being Invisible and they report that the book acted 'wonky' ( a technical term). The person said that the font changed from their preset 11 point to 7 without warning.

If you have purchased the book, or are reading it on your Kindle, please help me out and look.

Let me know if the problem is on my end.

Thank you kind people,

Leslie
