I love getting reviewed on Amazon. Wait, that's a lie. I love getting good reviews on Amazon, really hate the 1 and 2 star reviews I get.

The few people who follow me and care no that for the longest time I have struggled with where my body of work falls in the large scope of things. I have often felt on an island, alone (or with few others around doing the same thing). For some reason, I thrive on being defined in a group because I think that gives me direction and parameters to work under. It could also give me sources where I could see what worked for others and what hasn't.

I'm starting to plot out the sequel to Unreachable and I've come up with a major snag and I haven't even written word one yet. See, Unreachable and the Christmas story are both written in the first person. Now I have this sequel, which is going to be even more complex, and am wondering if I "HAVE TO" stay with first person because it fits the series. Should I swap to third because it would help tell a more complete story. Can I swap back and forth between chapters when I need to show action outside of Ms. Rosenthal? Thanks for the help.

A long time ago I belonged to a wrestling club called World Class Wrestling (not what you saw on tv). I was one of the better wrestlers to come out of the club and was voted Mr. Florida my senior year of high school before going on to winning two national championships and the Coca-Cola international tournament in Honduras while in college.

I'm going to pose this question and I hope to garner some serious answers and discussion.

I am sitting on something very hot right now. I am half way through writing a biography about an undercover narcotics officer for a major metro police force who happens to be transgender and just went through SRS.

I know I have had some success self publishing, but this is well beyond the scale of God Bless the Child and Unreachable when it comes to importance and marketability. I admit, I might not have what it takes to make this book the success that it should be on its own. I need an agent, but I have no clue how to find one or where to really look.

It's termite swarm season here in Florida and guess whose house has got them. MINE. For some reason there was a roll of Toilet paper on the entertainment center and when I went to move it I noticed all these wings just laying around. Weird, I thought, the pixie's decided to hoof it. I went to move the toilet paper back to the toilet paper room (a.k.a. bathroom, a.k.a. danger zone). To my surprise, thousands (maybe less) of termites were crawling in and around the TP roll. So I threw the roll out and hopefully all the termites.

As I general rule, I always picture myself as a bottom rung kind of person who is trying to get to the next level but always seem to have some difficulty. I hardly ever see myself as popular or good at something and that mindset helps me continue working and improving. I oft times have this theory that something bad is going to happen and that people general dislike me for various reasons. I know my writing doesn't appeal to everyone, but whose does?

How many people really care about what happens to Jenny from the God Bless the Child series? Would anyone be interested in seeing a story from when she is in high school?

For those of you who have been following my blog for the last week know I've been doing some kind of weird experiment on Amazon.

The great experiment is about to begin. Can a transgender fiction book break into the top 100 on Amazon? This book has a shot. It has been ranked as high as 58th in thrillers, surpassing people like Stephen King and W.E.B. Griffin. So, for this week, and this week only, Wrestling Against Myself is priced at .99 cents to send a message to Amazon that yes, transgender fiction can sell and should be featured prominently. Let your voice be heard by spending less than a cup of coffee at McDonalds and when you are done reading the book, leave a review as well.

I know we have some artists and aspiring artists here, so I wanted to afford you the opportunity to get this free book on drawing manga style stuff. I figured a few of you would really be into it and we can get stories with pictures. It's free today and tomorrow and if you could, leave the poor chap a review. He has given me some pretty good input on my covers and stuff and it's nice to help people outside the community too.

I'm thinking about being more vocal about subjects as I enter the world of public speaking, focusing on equality and acceptance. Here are some of my messages for those who are struggling:

Just so people don't think I dropped off the face of the earth as an author, I figured a few updates are in order.
