Wrote a little belated happy-birthday story for Drea, and its up now.

Huggles, Tante!

Hi everyone

This is for those few who still like the old fashioned way of reading - PAPER BOOKS

I have just published two more of my existing novels as paperbacks through FEEDAREAD.COM

This spring or summer I want to go camping in the Oregon Outback and have found a place that is at least 40 miles from any urban lighting, on a plateau of some 5000 feet, in isolated solitude. In my youth, I loved amateur astronomy, and once had a small reflector, so plan to resume that hobby once again.

In the mean time, I must find ways to prevent any lights from coming on in my car, or cover them in red cellophane. Any camp lights I have must be red also.

Sorry about my earlier posts. I think I overreacted just a tad. As a person who wears her heart on her sleeve I take things personally more than I ought.

Many stories involve our lead character depilating - so my question is "with the various methods how long does it actually take before inconvenient prickling and stubble occur ?"

I've not intentionally shut my site, I'm trying to get hold of Cat / Piper who look after it for me to get things rectified - heeeelllllllpppppppp!

It is really hard to say this. I am finished with religion, particularly the Mormon Church. I feel so sad because I actually believe in the Mormon "stuff" too. They have been really loving and kind to me and I healed of so much stuff and pain.

Just thought I'd give people a quick update about what has been happening with me and writing lately. To be honest, I'm not sure what's happening to the DRU. I've tried to get my last two stories flowing but I just can't seem to get either of them moving. I'm not going to quit though, I'm just going to try brainstorming my way around the problems.

In the meantime, I've come up with something else I want to dabble with for a bit. Its not DRU or any other universe, its a stand-alone that was inspired by a manga I've been reading recently. So I hope everyone likes it :)

In the last five or six years, I've been spending all of my free time (time not at work) wearing 100% women's clothes. Even at work, only my outer wear is men's clothing and only then because I'm a truck driver and my company issues a uniform; otherwise I'd be in women's jeans and polo shirt. Even at work, I wear a bra with breast forms as well as all other women's underwear, including my socks. Even my shoes are women's.

Anybody know what's up with Maddybell.com? GoDaddy sez the domain is for sale. How are supposed to get our weekly (nominally) Gabriel/Drew fix?

Thank you!!!

Recently I came across the scariest webtoon of my life while looking for information of ghosts that inhabit the internet. I don't mean the movie. I came across this, which didn't look scary at first, but watch out, read the disclaimer. It almost made me, who cannot be scared off by ghost stories scream in fear. Well, to tell the truth, I did scream like a little girl.

I present to you Bongcheon-Dong Ghost Don't worry, it's in English.

Well, for whoever is interested, I'm publishing the last chapter of my autobiography today. I may put it as a whole on fictionmania, I'm not sure, but otherwise its time to move on to other projects.

To those who have read it, I hope its been interesting.

When the system was being a little flaky, a number of messages and such were lost, vanished into the ether. So when I went to review the advice and such that I got, I found a lot of nothing.

When I was in my early 20's I use to cry when things were too intense.

I am looking for a story, it is about cross dressing boy who is becomes a sale flyer model for an department store, and starts an pigtail hairstyle fad.

I just have to thank everyboby that post on Amazon i am very lucky to get a lot of the books for my kindle from amazon Germany so those of you who have wonderd wich crazy german is buying there books that would be me proberly i search dayly for new stuff to read so if some of you have posted but i have not found you please tell me where i can find you ^^

I read a story about a young boy who gets a dress from his grandma for christmas this leads to a transition of sorts does anyone have any idea of where this story is or the title

My wife forwarded this to me as part of the 8 women she was supposed to forward it too. That says a lot about the level of acceptance she has regarding my feminine nature.

So, I send it to all of you in hopes that it will touch you the way it touched me.

Well, a surprise yesterday, with an e-mail at work sent to my male name from someone I used to work with many, many years ago (80s). In summary, "Hi, remember me? Living back in Abergwaun* now, someone from Dover says you are writing books now, how you doing? I was in a writing group, any tips?"
[My reply]

"Oh! Astonishing! But hey, no problem. Can we talk about writing? I think I'll buy your books"

I'm about to start posting some of my stories and thought I'd give a quick introduction

Erin and her magnificent crew have just reposted Simoné and the Second Time Around. If you enjoyed the story please give it Kudos, as they have been lost. If you haven't read it yet, please do and comment. It is my latest addition to the Cynthia Chronicles series of stories. I think it's a sweet tale.

2Day is my Birthday

Here's an interesting chart, prepared by a friend of mine. It takes some sophistication, perhaps, in reading scientific percentile graphs to understand since my engineer brother was baffled by it but it is interesting and relevant.

Here's a link to the list of "lost stories".

Lost Stories

Hi. I seem to be having a wee problem posting my stories. I get as far as 'preview, but when I press save, the page crashes and I get a message 'Error number 502 Bad Gateway, This happens every time but when I go back to basics the main home page opens without a problem. I have obeyed Erin's instruction not to try to repost old stories like Mermaid 111 and 'No riches' after her scolding me but this was a new chapter. I don't know what's gone wrong cos' other people seem to be able to post stories.

Am I still on the naughty step?

I've been a member at Big Closet Top Shelf for nine years now. That seems both too short and too long. Like it was just yesterday, but feels like forever.

In the last year we've lost Holly Hart to pancreatic cancer. Since her death I've lost a good friend, and the husband of my first cousin to the same scourge. This is such a horrible disease because by the time it's discovered, it is usually too late for the victim. Let's home they can find a solution and cure soon.

I was just wondering if anyone has heard from Big Sister's Barbara Allan,Torey,Little Becky Anne,Elsbeth,& Saless at all.I really miss reading some of there great stories

I have combined From Knight and Courtship and I think it combined well but I am wondering how other readers feel about it? Does it flow together well since they were written several years apart? Do they fit well together? If you read it please give me your criticism. I am thinking of publishing it on Amazon kindle and want to make sure that it is as perfect as I can get it. Any thoughts on it will be accepted as I am my own worst critic.

Shin Eris posted “Selling TG fiction on Amazon” below, and Katie and Tanya posted comments with useful guidelines, but I'd like to bring up Fifty Shades of Grey ... not as literature but as marketing.

I've read some blogs on Bigcloset lately about selling your book on Amazon and Kindle. My question, does it actually work? As in does it actually make money? I'm not talking about a payment of 100-200USD once in a blue moon, I'm asking if it's enough for someone to live in conditions that can be described as middle class in a city like, say, Boston for half a year.

What are the pros and cons or special considerations for selling in such a place?

Alright, so here is the announcement.

I am watching Fox & Friends Weekends here at work, and they were doing a story about a high school that got rid of white graduation gowns for girls and blue for boys, and after a vote by the students went with maroon for everyone. While discussing this Clayton Morris one of the hosts brought up Facebook and their addition of all the variant genders and orientations they added. Something that at the time he said some disparaging things about.

I ran into another snag with my insurance company.

Well, I'm feeling much better today. Not only has the pain in my stomach subsided, but I got to spend an hour at Erin Payne's house, and got licked to death by her two dogs. Who knew the cure for depression was a couple of fuzzy little critters?

Hi Everyone,

In case anyone is wondering where today's post of Dollar Runaways is... well it'll be posted tomorrow. I posted in one of the stories that I was dealing with some real life stuff, and today was basically one of the most major things to deal with. I'm okay, but an unexpected promotion and the fallout leading to that promotion have made life a little crazy! Not to mention just a little stressful! I got home late enough tonight that I'll have to format and post the next chapters tomorrow. Hopefully life will smooth out now for the foreseeable future!

I'll have the post up tomorrow evening, thanks!

I think I mentioned it here, but I know I definitely mentioned it on Facebook. After all the hubbub of the bad review, I received an email from a pastor in Teaneck New Jersey (oh the imagery that comes to mind) who wanted permission to mention my work The Transsexual and the Cross in a blog. I never have issues with that and thought it was nice that he asked. Well, I assumed it was going to be a paragraph or two. It's a few pages and pretty much is a detailed outline of my book. Here is what I posted on FB about it:

Well, the volume of spam has become overwhelming, so I've created a new email account. To all those with the old one, and anyone else interested in corresponding, send me a PM and I'll provide you with the new addy.

In other news, pop over to So Many Thoughts, So Little Mind for an update on my writing progress!

I just wrote a long comment to Katie Leone about why she was seeing so few comments and Kudos for OEM. I read six of the seven chapters today. I had to search for them as the list of chapters at the right of the screen was screwed up.

The same was true of the forward and back controls. Sometimes they were absent, sometimes they gave nonsensical options. Chapter 7, for instance listed chapter 4 for back and chapter 5 for forward.

A big hat tip to Karin Bishop for highlighting this over on the Book of Face.

Even Classic novels can earn a single lonely star in reviews at Amazon and other online book retailers. Take the following comments for example:

I can't say that I'm feeling too joyous right now. I just got another review on Amazon and I am at a loss. Let me post the review:

I love having long hair. I love the way it moves, the way it feels, and how feminine it makes me feel. Unlike many people, I never dared having long hair when I was trying to be a boy, so all of this is new to me. Maybe someday, the novelty will wear off, and I will be tired of pushing it out of my face, but until that happens, I am gonna luxuriate in my long hair, and be so grateful I took the chance on letting it grow.

My court date finally arrived.

Due to the sites unfortunate crash along with several days of hard work performed by those creative people to resurrected and breath new life back into its unfortunate demise the question I have is how story posting is being affected.

Case in point is the number of stories that are being posted. This leads me to ask about those that are being pushed further down the pipe than they normally would be. There were several that I'm sure were reposted due to the time differences from A to B.

Just to say a big thanks to those who voted for my story - Three men and a Christmas Spirit in the Christmas competition. I was so pleased to get fourth place, as the other sories were so good.

Thanks also to those who asked me if there was more... as the end seemed a bit abrupt.

The answer is, yes!

I have written another 11,000 words, and extended the book, giving it a new Title - A TALE Of TWO T'S

Sometimes words just can't express what needs to be said, and the only way to express what is really felt is a hug.

To Erin, Piper, Cat and the Crew,

Read and Weep
