Lucy - A True Story

I am a bit surprised that there have been no comments on my recent story "Lucy".
I rushed a bit to publish this because when I was looking for images I discovered that there was that YouTube video and reference to the TV short, neither of which I knew about when I wrote this. I had assumed that this was a largely a forgotten piece of American history that had been excluded for inappropriate content ... but it is a great story. I hope that the TV item will be a dramatization of her speech to the court of which I have included a fragment.

The Arctic Fox

Well, for those of you following The Arctic Fox, or any of my other stories, it's going to be kinda slow getting the chapters up for a bit. This is a rather busy time of year for me, although COVID has slowed things down from how it usually is.

Anyway, please bear with me. The chapters will be posted. Just might take a bit more time.

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!

Trixie on Patreon

After months of reaerch and i have to admit, prevarication, today i've made a good start on the new Trixibell Heartswoon 'adventure'! The working title is a bit of a mouthful, A Leipzig Ring des Nibelungen which may be changed by the time i publish! It's set, as you might guess, against a background of a Gothic adventure to Leipzig. I will publish each part to Patreon as its completed so if you've been kind enough to support me through that portal, head over there now to read part one!

Looking for a Story

I don't remember if it was here or on Fictionmania, but a couple of years ago I read a story of a boy who liked to dress as a girl. Once while dressed, he received a call from a relative, I believe a cousin. While talking with him, she kind of figured out what was going on. When they were together later, she asked him about it and he admitted it. She assisted him. At the end of the school year, they both worked at a resort along a river that was owned by relatives in her family and he worked the entire summer as a girl.

Remembrance Sunday

As usual in the UK, the authorities, to avoid upsetting business, once more have us 'celebrating' a National day not on the day itself but on the following weekend, today then, the National mourning for those lost and injured in military conflict kicked off at 11.00am this morning. I always try to observe the 2 minute silence, its not always possible but this year a pause in the day's DIY efforts was enoiugh to take part and to see those in power doing their symbolic wreath laying at the Cenotaph in central London.

Completed!

Thanks to a few more proof-read corrections from a friend, the last part of Light And Shadow is up! Whew! So anyone who may have been waiting to binge read the entirety, now you can go for it!

There's still much to tell in this saga, and many questions (evilly and sneakily) left unanswered to explore in the next installments - so I'll have to get busy on it as poor Jordan has a lot to figure out. I also have a feeling there could be a couple short stories around some of the other characters that may need to be written before the fifth book gets finished too.

Rage

Who Am I?

So, someone talked me out of Islam, then my nose ring, and my second piercing in my ear, and my Hijab, and I wanted a tattoo but can't and now I wonder what will be left when I am made suitable? Doesn't anyone want to know me, or do I have to be just like "them"? Is this too much to ask? Am I simply a slave to others, is this enough, will they whip me and chain me too?

Two from BB i think?

1:- Young Man, between high-school and College age?, goes on walkabout (for want of a better word).
can't remember if the young man is White American or Chinese\Japanese American, as he has studied under an eastern master most of his life so this could be the eastern connection.
He is a martial artist, can't remember if he'd had mystical background, but I think that his master suggested his walkabout.
Visits "Bikini Beach"

Can't remember if it was a single multipart incomplete story or a complete multipart story with an incomplete second story.

Story Centered East of Sacramento, Ca.

Perhaps about 10 years ago, there was a multi Chapter TG story that was set somewhere East of Sacramento. I've looked at the map to refresh my memory, but no joy. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Plagiarism Allegations Again!

Does anybody out there know a person with the handle Jdunn58? This person has recently filed a review of a book I published on Amazon and has clearly not read it.
"Just childish writing" ... OK. That's opinion. I can live with that.
"I know this author from Fictionmania...Never have you heard any one author toot their own horn about their work" ... OK. Probably not accurate, but I am not offended.
"...most every idea is taken from someone else" Hang on a minute. Which ideas? Which someone?

No Legacy... Again

So, I do apologize for my silence as of late, but I have a good reason for that. In my previous blog I mentioned that I was working directed (mandatory) overtime and, well, I have been working fifty hour work weeks for the last three weeks straight. No word on whether or not I will be working it again this week so I cannot say whether you'll be seeing another serial part this coming Saturday or Sunday. So, I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

I do apologize and hope you have a deliciously devious night,

Looking for story

I hope someone can help me out. I am looking for a story I read quite some time ago. The main character is a teenage boy from somewhere in the eastern US who while visiting relatives in the midwest (maybe Ohio) somehow ends up becoming a weather girl on the local TV station. While taping a remote she ends up reporting on a major accident and the video ends up getting network distribution.

O

"Why didn't you warn me?" Hardy.

Just scanned "O" and am so sorry and feel so silly. I paid way too much for it, too.

For those who have not read it, consider yourself warned. It is a dark, awful and despicable pseudo story.

Scratching an itch.

It's a long time since I've felt such a strong urge to write but this latest series of The Joiners seems to make me want to write instead of doing other things. I should be studying not writing fiction while listening to Carpenter's CDs.

a question about names

I am starting the outline of a story and I am curious about characters names. This is set in a fictional world where women are in control and has always been. Its around a 100,000 years from now and its almost inconceivable that men were ever in charge. Women have developed a power long ago to overpower men and gained control. Theres rumor's that men were dominant but its mostly dismissed as impossible

Still Under the Weather

Sorry folks; I'm still sick. Going to the doctor this afternoon.

I did a lot of writing on _Angel of Earth_ the past couple of days, but it was mostly rough stuff, just getting basic ideas down.

Update: I hope none of you ever have to change a flat tire before going to the doctor. :-(

I failed (Passed?) the flu test, so it's not that. (Unlikely, since I've had this year's shot, but possible.) They also tested me for Covid-19, just in case. That result won't be in for a couple of days.

One Day Early!

As the previous installment was a day late, posting this next one an entire day early! Woot! Part 7 of 8 is up in which more things are revealed and things are set up for the ride to the finish...

Thanks to everyone who's been reading, and especially to all who comment or message! I'm looking forward to getting the last bit of book done and posted, and then comes the fun of re-reading the whole thing and laying out the rest of the story arc for the next few books.

Hope all who read enjoy!!

Sometimes you are proved right and wished you weren't

I published a story back in 2013 (it does not seem that long ago) called 'Promises can get you into trouble'. As the story nears its climax, I floated the idea about a number of US States banning the books that had been written by the main character who was Trans.

I'm so sorry, Rosey Redd

a while back I wrote a story called "Rose the Bunny", inspired by a conversation I had on Discord with Rosey Redd. after it was published, she left the comment, "OH god, what did I do? *hides*"

I thought she was joking but since then she's all but vanished.

So if you're out there, Rosey Redd, I'm sorry, and come back.

I was a little disappointed that so few responded to my request to compare the two stories I posted on the weekend and tell me which was the early one and which the more recent.
I still feel that I am very new to this fiction writing gig, although I am always writing for work and some of my colleagues accuse me of fiction.
I am just curious as to whether I am getting any better or falling away under the burden of prolificacy.

Susan Brown's "ORPHAN"

Having just reread Susan Brown's "ORPHAN", I was reminded of another story, in which tennis is a part.

If memory serves, the MC begins a new school, I think all goes well until after the Christmas break, when the weather begins to get warmer, the sports curriculum changes and one of the sports that is played in spring is Tennis.

Looking for a sad story

I am 99.9% certain that this story was a single post (SOLO), and that it is an older story

and this story is different as the MC is a diary

Mother finds her child's diary, after child's death, and reads last few entrys

mother adds last entry to the diary, while the diary is asking 'What are you doing?'

I do remember that there is an image in this story, it is of a yellow Post-It Note™®, although I can't remember what was written on it
