finally finished the new one

Finally, I have sent Invisible off to my editor. I can't begin to tell you how happy I am to have finally scratched out this story to my satisfaction.

What started out as Serious Camouflage and morphed to Camouflage, then got pulled and rethunk until I knew what story I wanted to tell. I've had many wonderful souls looking over the manuscripts and propping me up with excellent constructive criticism. When it comes back from Tom, I will start publishing chapters here.

I'm excited to finally share something here with the people I love and admire.

New Book up on Amazon - Anomalies

- Fanfare of Trumpets... I have actually finished a book! I don't know why it has been so tough, but hopefully, I can catch up and have another one up in a couple of months.
This one - ANOMALIES - features some old friends (Josie, Maxine & Fiona) as well as a newbie in a science fiction/fantasy set in the real present-day and continuing (obliquely) BROKEN PROMISES and ready to bound seamlessly into BOOK 3 - SAM.

Writers Research - comments turned off?

Is the lack of comments intentional or accidental?

Anyhoo, its an interesting start to what could become quite a saga. Method writing isn't a new thing, i do it myself, its rare that i ask my characters to do anything i haven't experienced myself, (i said rare, not never!) but to use it as the story plot may be a new one!

10 points to Hufflepuffs!

10 Years Old

I was just looking at my author's page and noticed that my story Costumes was written 10 years ago. It is hard to believe it has been that long. A lot has changed over that time, including my transition. That story was a major stepping stone to me shedding my own costume. I put so much of myself into it. I am glad I got a chance to share it with all of you. Thanks to all of you who have read it and commented over the years.

Looking for a story

The name of the story is "In Plain Sight" Not the one by Tanya Allen on Kindle. I don't know the author or have any idea of where it was posted.

The story is about an Army Ranger team who served in Afghanistan. Sniper and spotter. They were in DC to receive a Medal of Honor and while out on the town, witnessed a drive by shooting of a powerful drug lord. They were able to ID the perps and the drug cartel has a contract out on them plus the Taliban has issued a Jihad on them, so they are going into the Federal Witness Protection Program.

What a month or four!

Well! I've said some things about what's been happening, but it's been moving so quickly I'm really not sure of it all myself!

We've had a few last gasps of a dying winter here in the Pacific Northwest, but during the last few convulsions, I was in Phoenix, spending time with my parents and my sister, and ended up with a sunburn. Ah, the feeling of freezing while the top layer of epidermis peels off your arms and shoulders. Such bliss!

The Unicorns Gift

Just finished "The Unicorn's Gift", having read it for the first time in 2008. What a lovely tale. It was a rare delight.

I do hope that the author is well and prosperous and enjoying the Maine winter snow.

Much peace

Work Process

Life has been fairly busy but I am a bit over halfway through the edits for The Hands of the Morri. I am also working on the edits for a YA F/F romance called The Finder of Words. That story is a bit of a trip and is also a fun ride. So lots of research and writing going on. Once I am done with the edit for THotM I will be looking for readers to go through it and comment. I will probably choose a few from here and a number of my other friends in the outside world. That way I can get a good notion for how the story goes. That will likely decide where I'm gonna send it to.

Sanctions help fighting... Shiraz

Yes... I got bored waiting for the UG2 next chapter and decided to buy all of the chapters from Amazon...
So, Shiraz, say a big thank you to your government. I will just get an unread book from my shelf... You just got sanctioned out of my money for your books...
Anyone still think that sanctions are against Russia? $-)

Portent Ending

From near the end of the next Angel of... story. After WWII, three of the superhumans who helped the Allies win are discussing their plans. Two decide they're just going to get away from it all:

"We're going away," said Sutter. "Marie and I have found this place, in Puerto Rico, not far from an old Spanish city but out in the country. It has this bowl-shaped valley. We can lie in the bottom of the bowl and watch the stars go by overhead with no interference."

Soooo... It's been a while!

It's been a hot minute, hasn't it?

My life has been busy! I've now been living life full to me as myself and feeling great! In January my car broke down on the way to work, long story short the ignition module burnt out, took out two ignition coils, the catalytic converter, and several of the spark plugs. It's been in and out of the shop trying to get everything fixed. It's finally passed emissions and seems to running fine. *Fingers crossed*

English Children of WWII

Just finished "Darkest Hour" and have watched " The Battle of Brittan" more than once. It seems to me that I have read stories on this site where children of that time were often shipped off to the country. The name of the Author escapes me. Does anyone remember the stories?

Career Day -- review

While the site was down, I reread Grover's "Career Day". (I had downloaded it on my hard drive; an old habit from my dial-up days). I found it a fine piece of Sci-Fi/Fantasy. Usually I don't like Sci-Fi/Fantasy because it takes the decision regarding gender away from the protagonist.

Grover, however starts with an older trans person who through some unknown quirk of time/space finds himself in an alternate past and is given a second chance and doesn't waste it.

If you've never read it, or even if you have, give it a read. It well worth the time.

The Sport of Romance ...

Yes, another anthology of my stories out on Amazon!
Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09WLFWVNC
This picks up on some recent discussion on transgender sportspeople in the news, but my stories are strictly for entertainment and hopefully to pull a little on the heartstrings.

Ashleigh Blayze. Legacy of the Anari

I just finished this amazing tale at 4:00 am this morning and feel completely "read out". I've tried to deduce what happened to the Author and I feel the outcome was dark.

I think that people should live their lives and never put themselves in the hands of Professionals. Such a talented Author too.

Looking for two separate stories. (old)

I _believe_ both of these stories are from Fictionmania. At least, they were.

1) boy is body swapped by a witch. end of story is mainly in the woods, where the 'new' boy realizes that she has no powers anymore, as she's locked into the boy's body. This is not the version that has adults in it, they're definitely teens.

Damn virus

It caught me, I certainly didn't go out looking for the damned virus!

I'm fully jabbed so it's just a question of riding it out - sorry for the belated posting of UG2 but I chose my bed rather than my desk yesterday. Meanwhile, I'm back at my desk and I may have been working on something new .....

Just because I know folks worry

Hey everyone,

I thought that I would pop on, try to update y'all, and post a chapter of Snow Angel while I have the energy to be out of bed for a bit. This cold really is hanging on and I'm still feeling super tired and having trouble shaking the cough but at least I felt up to getting out of bed today. I still need my rest and likely won't be getting much work done until I have more energy but I seem to be on the mend so I wanted to let my readers know what's happening so I don't worry anyone.

*big hugs*

A Purim Story

Hi. If you are celebrating Purim tonight and tomorrow, or you want to know something about a interesting holiday, and you are not too inebriated to not understand the difference between a Bless Haman and Curse Mordechai , you may wish to learn how a miracle happens for Robyn, in my story, “The King’s Outstreched Sceptre”.
