We'll start with the new book, The full fat version of Book 23, Ontario is now published! 300 plus pages of typical Gaby adventure and angst, excitement all the way to the last paragraph!

I apologize for the late posting this week, I had some personal issues in the real world and it's just been a very strange week for me.

Having faced down her own demons Amy must now face down Sapphira's, but will she have the strength or will Chemosh triumph over them both?

Well Amazon surpassed themselves this time!

So in case you got impatient checking I can advise that the book has, finally made its Kindle appearance a mere 3 days after being submitted. Just search Gaby Ontario and it'll bring up all 4 parts. Do so through a BC link and you'll be adding to this site's coffers too.

For the more patient of you, i've got the full volume ready to launch tomorrow. Yup, the whole exciting kit and kaboodle all in one 300+ page volume. The tension runs all the way to the last paragraph with more going on in young Bonds life than ever!

I dont know how many of you guys know, but I am the admin of a facebook page dedicated to fans of this site (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1418685195068872/ ). I and some others often post content there related to or linked to stuff posted here, and it occurred to me that perhaps if some of you have social media accounts on sites such as Twitter or others and are willing to do so, you could give this place the occasional push on those sites.

Just so you readers know, a small comment on the last chapter of my Shadowsblades story... a Whateley based fan fic.

that one small comment, a small 'thing' and not a bad 'thing'? Just a mention of fact or noticing a small story 'bend'...that one little comment, WILL make me after I pondered it for a few days and thought about what to change around the 'mistake' or 'goof'... has lead me in a totally different direction of story plot.

I'm looking for help in locating a story that featured "LC", a young Australian who'd taken on the persona of a reclusive actor. His/her experiences contributed to redefining / enhancing the actor's image. I'd love to re-read and update her adventures!

I have just finished reading, Nick B's "Lost Girl - Girl Found" & three parts of "The Lost Girl - Girl Found Chronicles"

Is Nick still about?

Yes, I have just managed to scrape a bit of Interweb time after a nice trip to see the GC.

Well here we are again.

When I started writing "Myrna and the Grievous Error" I wasn't sure exactly sure where it would go; however, as it progressed I knew I had to address certain issues within this particular universe. I have maintained that magic had to comply with the laws of physics and chemistry. Arthur C. Clarke said, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." That is the philosophy and approach I have taken with the "Cynthia Chronicles." Magic cannot do anything that is not possible in our physical world. Previous stories in the series have addressed this phenomenon.

So Hurricane Callum has reached even GOC this weekend, not nice even with just the fringe, best wishes go to everyone suffering more acute symptoms than a stiff breeze and a few puddles.

Sorry people! I know the delay has been problematic, but at last I'm ready to reveal the results of our Double Dip Story Contest!

Indeed, none of your foreign Frikadel today just pure 100% beef (?) Hamburger!

Just posted a little pre-Halloween treat for you all. hope you enjoy!

Sorcerer's Marks and Morpheus' "The Academy" which I am reading again thanks to Carpe Diem's blog entry 'Looking for a story'

While reading "The Academy" the MC is discovered to have a Sorcerer's Mark

This reminded me of a similar story of a magic academy, but this one was more of a Summer School\Camp, one of the MC's friends is a goth and her 'SYMBOL' (for want of a better term as I can't remember what the story called them) was a "Jack O Lantern"

Well, here I am, back in the land of my birth and a few of my forefathers. After a week of predominantly warm sunshine, no sooner had we landed did the rain start to fall, the temperature definitely 10c cooler than when we left Germany! If you go here there are a few pictures which give a flavour of the trip.

My weekend was crazy, and I don't think I got more than 2 contiguous hours of sleep in the last 3 days, so yeah; contest results will be up in a couple of days. Sorry peeps.

Greetings all. So, wow, a lot has happened. I had to move again because my landlord sold the apartment out from under us. Good news is that my roomies and I got a much better place.

I've had several notices from the Hospital that I should attend there to see the Endo department. It seemed clear to me that they were going to do an Endoscopy, which end, I have no idea. Their persistence led me to imagine that there was something emergent going on in my bowels, and that caused me to be nervous enough to not sleep well last night.

I have posted chapter 95 of Vol 5 of Footprints on the Sea today. As always, Charlotte continus to lead a quiet life...Well, almost a quiet life.

Vol 6 before Christmas I hope and Vesta's hearth as well with luck and then I'm off to Fairyland for a holiday and a bit of instant SRS.

Now that the September competition has finished, I would like to say thank you for all the kudos. Your support is very much appreciated.

Love, Frances

As usual, my latest posting has led to a few readings of my older stories.

To all who kindly read my stories and might wonder why they haven't seen a chapter about Harriet's adventures in a while - I fell over (sober I must add) and broke my arm - my first ever fracture. I can still type but the arm aches if I do too much. It's my prefered (left) arm. I've found that showering is especially difficult and I'm a very bad car passenger - there's a dent in the floor where I keep pressing an imaginary brake! If my marriage survives this it will survive anything.

Okay folks

So i've just finished writing chapter 23.29, the second of an 8 hour writing session!

Tomorrow then will see the arc completed, a full day it will be, a longish ride in the morning/afternoon then into writing mode in the evening - I already have a fair idea of what's going to be included in the chapter so it will hopefully go quickly! Then it's into assembly and editing so that I can release to you lot on Sunday.

I wasnt sure I would finish it in time, but I managed to make a 2nd entry for the double dip contest, this one for the music side: https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/76051/synchronicity
