I can't believe how excited I am. I have just been given the opportunity of a lifetime. A very influential member of the trans community has asked me to help write their biography. And when I say influential, I'm talking on a national level. So for the next 5 days or so she will be crashing on my couch and I will be putting in 8-10 hour days at the keyboard. Not only is their a major publisher already involved, but a movie coming out in March (so we're rushing to print).

So, I'm ready to publish again (and soon post here on Big Closet). The new book is a departure. It is an adult romance with bonus erotic ending. But, like usual, I am torn on what cover to go with. I do have my favorite, but I want to hear from others. Pick from below.

I released But, I'm not a boy two days ago and I already got results. As it sits now, I have the number 1 book in my genre in england.

Sometimes I really do feel like I'm a scam artist with all this writing stuff going on. It's the end of the month and end of the quarter so I am getting money from both Amazon and Smashwords. I don't know why but I always feel like it is found money, like I didn't do anything to deserve it. Sure, I strung a few sentences together in a semi-coherent way to make a story, but that's not work, it's fun. I think I need to put my writing in a different light because thinking that getting paid is scamming people really is belittle what I do.

I finally got some news on the illustrations for the worlds first transsexual children's book "but, I'm not a boy". They are done. Finished. In the mail (so to speak).

For the most part, I've avoided writing any graphic sexual content. It's not that I don't think that there is a place for it, just not in my writing. Mostly it's been because I write about kids and that's just icky and wrong. In the past if I wrote anything sexual it was to show the true horrors of sexual abuse and was never intended to be for arousal.

I hope I don't overstep my bounds, but I would like to offer up a writing challenge for the month.

The title: The Tranny Shop

I always thought that Sexual Reassignment Surgery would be out of reach for me because of the cost. Thankfully that problem was solved and I was able to get a majority of the surgery done at no cost at all. Thanks to my job, while delivering the papers last night I froze my balls off. Now, I'm half way there.

Brr.

I'll be here all week.

I am hoping someone will be able to point me in the right direction.

So this might sound weird but I am having major problems with my boyfriend. I put it here because he is on facebook and reads everything I write.

After some initial run around that got taken care of by noon yesterday, I got the estimate to fix my Prius.

This is my very first giveaway and using Rafflecopter, so I hope it all goes well. In celebration of hitting 10,000 sales on Amazon I am giving away a hardcover autographed copy of God Bless the Child (the book that got this whole ball of fun rolling). Sign up today, let's have some fun. Only one winner this time, but more fun to come in the upcoming months.

I heard this comparison twice in the last two days and by two completely different unattached people talking about two different stories, one not even a member of the transgender community. I've heard this comparison before as well and I wonder if there is credence to it. I figured I would bring it up here and hopefully people will weigh in on the matter.

I have been, on occasion, compared to Charles Dickens.

There, I said it.

Ever since I sat down and decided that I was going to give being a published author a try, I have been very conscientious about the choices that I make and what I put down on paper. I know I am only a self published author using technology to my advantage, but certain questions should be raised.

What is transgender literature saying about the community as a whole?

Are you happy with the message?

How do you feel about terms like Sissy, Tranny, Shemale, Ladyboi, Slut, Bimbo?

Do you think the majority of stories accurately represent your struggles?
