My seventh book is out on Amazon!
This is a collection of stories based on the expressive and performing arts.

"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.

"Other than the fact that we know that magic somehow exists, we don’t really know anything about it.”

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

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.

(Yes, I am one of those people who welcomes the Christmas season the day after Halloween)

“A Cracker Barrel Christmas” takes place in a small town in Western Tennessee and focuses on Nicole Armitage, the youngest of the family, and the one who is caught in the middle of all of the arguments the family has every Christmas. This year, her oldest—and self-proclaimed hero of the town—brother is bringing his family home for the holidays and Nikki dreads having to defend her life.

Chapter titles are based on songs by Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

Life Decided Otherwise

A quickie for you

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.

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.

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

Writing is an odd business. I mean really.

There was a bit of a posting glitch with yesterdays update so you may have come to a dead end when you tried to look at the new Gaby chapter. This is now fixed - follow the link below

'There's more from Gaby today in the latest chapter of Ontario, #27, Farmed Out. I'll admit that its not exactly action packed but questions are answered and its time to partee in the Ahrtal!'

well I suppose this late in October that's only to be expected!

In November 2007 I posted a story here called THIS QUINTESSENCE OF DUST. It was my 4th or 5rh work of transgender fiction but it was the first one of any length, and the first I worked really hard on trying to create credible well-rounded characters that I hoped the reader could empathize with. And it was a challenge for me because I wanted them to be a pair of normal cisgender guys who were intelligent and more or less decent and not just buffoonish caricatures. In a way my creating them was my attempt to grow beyond my often misadrist attitudes toward males.

I haven't posted a new picture of a dormouse for a while, this was one that escaped while one of my colleagues was checking a nesting tube and took refuge in a tree. The photo was taken with my phone and I have tried to enlarge it.

X the Last Woman

I was thinking of writing a reverse version of Y the Last Man. In the series and the book (graphic novel) the women are pretty screwed , Most of the world's infrastructure is still kept running by men. In a prophetic line about truck drivers the new president says that the country was run on trucks delivering things. She says only 5% of truck drivers are women. (there is a shortage of truck drivers currently in a few countries since covid) A dam breaks and floods towns as there is no one to fix it. Power is off etc.

I hope to start posting the chapters of Angel of Earth next week. In the meantime, here is some music I use for inspiration in writing the Malak stories:

Not Dr. Bender's "Heaven and Hell: Lucifer's Daughter"(Fictionmania) excellent addition to Maggie's Heaven and Hell series.

Though has a similar scene backstage in a theatre

Almost 100% positive that the story that I'm after has no myth, legend or magic! and is a story with more than 1 posted part

In case you are unaware, Battle for Earth, the prequel to this series is now available on Amazon Kindle. Please consider supporting me if you enjoy my work.

Well, after an extended hiatus Legacy of Earth is back! I hope you all enjoy!

Legacy of Earth: Genesis Machinations By Daniela A. Wolfe Kayde meets with the conclave counsel, but she discovers that with her grandmother's passing, that the balance of power has shifted.

Slight delay in getting Part 6 of Light And Shadow posted. After discussions with my awesome proof-reader it was realized that the division of the Parts needed adjustment to pull in one more chapter to better round out 6's complement. Hopefully they will get to that chapter tomorrow and I can post the now-extended Part 6 up by the evening.

Long ago, back in July, I started uploading a new story, Vacation, to bigclosetR.us. After lots of fine constructive criticism from the readers, I finished a 13,000-word novella for you.

I enjoyed working with the fine readers here at bigcloset.us and was determined to complete a novel based on the story. I dug myself in and created a 46,000-word story that we called Lowell's Vacation. (Our editor, Tom Peashey, suggested that Vacation was too overused as a title)

I can happily say that it's now for sale on Amazon for your reading pleasure. Thanks, Leslie

Were fisticuffs all that common in BC writers' school years?
