What Is the Name of this Movie

For more than 40 years my wife and I have been trying to figure out the name of a movie we had seen on late night television in Little Rock in the late 60s.. One of the stations stayed on all night. That was a big thing then. After the last late night show was over, they'd play old movies. This was before we started going together. There was a particular movie that we saw several times. It had a music theme that was built around a piano concerto. It may have been Rachmaninoff or Grieg.

Nina Kiriki Hoffman's "A Red Heart of Memories" and sequels

Nina Kiriki Hoffman’s sequence of novels A Red Heart of Memories (1999), Past the Size of Dreaming (2001), and A Stir of Bones (2003) may be of interest to this site’s readers for one major transgendered character, who is onstage in Past the Size of Dreaming and A Stir of Bones and appears in flashbacks in in A Red Heart of Memories. Several other characters are more or less atypical in their gender identity and presentation. Hoffman has also written a number of short stories about the characters from these books, some but not all of which are in her short story collection Permeable Borders.

My idea cupboard is getting bare

Well, after being one of the most prolific writers on here for the last four and a half years, I am facing the real possibility that my ideas cupboard is growing close to bare. Maybe all my brainpower is wrapped in my autobiography, but its possible that outside of a few crumbs that I might be able to bring to life, my days as a writer are numbered ...

If that occurs, I want my friends to know I will continue to contribute in other ways. I will comment and encourage other authors, and I will keep my blog going with whatever is happening in my life.

I guess I didn't visit the site as much as I would have liked recently since life has bee getting in the way. I had to face up to new challenges but as tough as they are they are nothing compared to some I read recently here.
I should count my blessings. So I picked up on the Christmas story I started and hope to get back into the swing of things. So many people here support and encouragement and even a nice thought or a wish or just a touch of kindness.

Yay! First Review!

I got my first review for my book up at Kindle, 'Heroes of Justice.' It was mostly positive with the reviewer giving me four stars. Apparently despite all the people who have looked it over, mistakes have still persisted. That's annoying since I think at times I can recite the whole book given how many times I've gone over it.

On a humorous note, the review claims to have bought it accidentally because of Amazon's 'One-Click' Button.

However, one review is better than no review!

Google glasses and hot nerds

Well while I was eating I looked to the table next to me and saw this really hot nerd guy and realized he had google glasses.

Poor guy almost choked on his food when I ran up to his table practily screamin " OMG, are those google glasses!" He ended up being really cool and let me try them out, it was awesome.

Happy holidays to all

Hi everyone, I just wanted to take a moment to say Happy holidays to all of you, whichever holidays you choose to celebrate. I'm a witch so I celebrate Yule on the winters solstice personally, though Martin is having me celebrate Christmas with his/her family this year as well. In fact we need to leave soon for a Christmas Eve gathering. I do have a little present in the works for all my wonderful readers.

The End of the World: The Last Christmas

Hello everyone and Happy Holidays with a Merry Christmas to all who wants one! For the first time since I've been here at BCTS I'm not entering the Christmas Contest. Too much real life and I had other stories that my muse demanded I work on. Unfortunately none of those had three wise-men in them.

The kinda Sorta Christmas story I just put up, does have three aliens bearing gifts, but that was more an after thought and doesn't really qualify, to me at least.

Has anyone at all heard from Sephrena lately? I don't recall having seen her commenting to anything lately and one of her last blogs over a month ago mentioned her health problems. Does anyone know if she's okay? I know people got concerned for me when I dropped out of sight for a while and Sephrena is a big part of what makes BCTS great. Maybe I missed something while I was offline all that time but before that it was unusual for Sephrena to go very long without commenting on something so I'm getting a little concerned.

As for my book, you'll have to input the whole name along with my author name to find it. Unfortunately I wasn't thinking about marketing this thing when I wrote it. There's only about million titles that has Heroes and Justice in them.
