I've been re-reading my stuff, and realized some of my best work takes place in someone else's sandbox. My Mercy story, my Phoenix story, both (In my humble opinion) really good stories with genuine feels in them.

Now, I'm not sure what this means for me going forward. Can I take something from those stories, and put them into a unique setting, or am I doomed to only be able to do good work inside someone else's universe ?

Sam and Del 4 is up on Patreon for Patrons now, early next week for everyone else.

Mom is all smiles as she takes Sam to a salon to get his hair done by a professional. Sam enjoys the attention but he's suspicious of purple vegetables in his future.

Som readers have mentioned how they thought the story was close to ending. In a way they are correct. Though I didn't say it at the time Part 24 is the end of Book 1. Yes there will be a Book 2. There is a lot more story to tell.

On July 10th I will start posting Book 2. At the same time Book 1 will be removed for publication on Amazon. It will not be available on KU.

okey day so!

I play a lot of SMITE, for those who don't know it's a game where the gods - and more recently, fictional/legendary figures from history and fiction - fight it out. This has inspired me to make a story. The idea is that the ancient gods and demons were shattered in a great war eons ago, but fragments of their souls and power have flitted amongst the populace, dormant.

I didn't know it, didn't realize, was unaware that perhaps the majority of my stories include the protagonist being romanced by a strong, commanding man who is handsome, strong, and regal beyond all reasonability. In the reality of my own life, I am often frightened of men I encounter to the point of paralysis. Once in a while, a man will be gentle and shepherd like with me, and a flip occurs. I am left completely stricken with the need to be obedient and held affectionately, not allowed to flee in terror. Those encounters are in my dreams and upon awakening, bereft sadness floods over me.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that Deshima is currently delayed because I lost the flash drive it's stored on and I currently have a sprained ankle, so I can't walk around the room looking for it. Also, I am stoned out of my god damn mind.

Sadly there probably will be no Wayward update this week. What with the sweltering heat and crap, I've fallen a bit behind. I've only been able to write in the morning when its cooler. Its a pain in the ass when you don't have an AC :(. So hopefully I can get a few more chapters written up again before posting Ch.4. I'll update as I make progress, probably on Discord :)

Three apparently random words

And so here we are, Wednesday.

Is there a list of color codes that can be used on this site? I have need to use two different colors but when I try using the html codes for color they won't change and I noticed that an abbreviated version is used here. I can't find anything to help me figure that out. Also what font is the default for stories as I am thinking of using it instead of what I do when I write.
Thanks
Fiona

My revision of "The Saga of E-Girl" is up: https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/17639/superiors-saga-...

Okay. . .there was a huge vote for LGBT rights in the Supreme Court today. Much to the surprise of some, including me, the conservative packed court voted 6-3 to acknowledge gay rights.

I’m doing my happy dance.

There’s a blog about this that has drawn some comments. I would consider most of the people who have commented to be nice people I’ve enjoyed speaking with for years. Yet. . ..

I’ve left little doubt where I stand on most issues. I’m a liberal.

Yet. . .if Erin sees fit to take down that other blog, I’m not going to be upset.

at least for this week

Edited I have received enough offers. Thank you all

Well I've given myself a project.

I was making another story in my "Superiors" universe (Which I used to call the "E-Girl universe") and went looking at "The Saga of E-girl for some details, and realized that I'd changed a few things in the universe other than the name. Added to that is the fact that "The saga of E-girl" was the very first story I made here, and I'd like to think I'm a slightly better author now, and I think what I need to do is totally revamp it.

Wish me luck ...

And it made me think about one of my most special friends, Denise Trask. I am ashamed to say that I have been so busy lately, and so buried in my own issues, that I have not thought of her in some time.

So, because I missed last week's update I decided to append an additional scene to this part. I hope you all enjoy!

The Fall of Kruhl - Healing Factor By Daniel A. Wolfe As forces battle without, Amelia awakens within an unusual room filled with strange creatures and dark contraptions.

If you haven't read the chapter this might give some of the story away so proceed if you wish

Billy makes a deposit and a withdrawal, and Chad makes an offer of dinner. Billy's tummy says, "Yes!"

Special FX -4- Ballpoint is available on Patreon for anyone to read. In fact, all four chapters are free right now.

The 13th Gaby book, 2nd edition

"Is that short for Samantha?" the policewoman asked while writing on her tablet.

I stared at her. "No, it's short for Samson." I might have put the teensiest bit of snark in my voice.

 
Sam and Del 2 is up on Patreon now for Patron members, it will be available for everyone on Monday.

On Thursday, the first book I tried to have published...with limited success...will be free for two days.

This book was on BC but had to be removed due to Amazon’s practices. If you never read it before, give it a few pages.
