I guess I was having a bad night. It certainly isn't reader's comments that keep me writing. No one could exist on such paltry feedback.

I also understand that the beginning of New Job put off lots of people. Too bad, I guess. It could have been softer and gentler, but the two main characters were both deeply damaged people (what other author has ever explored the psychology of the domme, or let her become a real person? And where else would you find three dimensional gay male characters who are not preying on the helpless heroine? But I digress), and their ultimate ability to thrive in life and find love was, I think, much more moving when you understand where they came from and how hard they had to struggle to overcome their pasts.

Still, I appreciate everyone who commented on my blog. You were all very thoughtful, probably far more than my petulant little rant deserved.

And no, it's not the end of Kelly Ann. In fact, I have a new novel-length story ready to post. It's in the ultimate throes of the last edits, where I try to reconcile my own desires for how the story should end with the different opinions of my editors (including Jill MI and Dimelza Cassidy, who you all know well, and Dee West, who you may not know. She's a brilliant writer. If you don't know her go to FM and read Home on the Range or a Touch of Palm. Bliss) who have already proven to me they are usually right.

This will be my most realistic story yet - a husband and wife deeply in love when she decides it's time to let him more deeply explore his cross dressing. The story is about their stuggles to find a way to live with each other. I guess it's a common theme, but this time there's no good fairy or evil devil looking over them, so all bets are off.

I'm going to publish this one in chapters, something I've never tried before.

Give a couple of days to get the first one up.

I learned my lesson from New Job, though; the beginning isn't at all painful!
