I am a bit surprised that there have been no comments on my recent story "Lucy".
I rushed a bit to publish this because when I was looking for images I discovered that there was that YouTube video and reference to the TV short, neither of which I knew about when I wrote this. I had assumed that this was a largely a forgotten piece of American history that had been excluded for inappropriate content ... but it is a great story. I hope that the TV item will be a dramatization of her speech to the court of which I have included a fragment.

Life isn't just a walk in the park for Jonny as he finds out that his former best friend saw him very differently than he saw himself.

I just saw this on FB:

"First transgendered suicide hotline is now up and running in the U.S. You can reach Trans Lifeline at 877-565-8860."

Well, for those of you following The Arctic Fox, or any of my other stories, it's going to be kinda slow getting the chapters up for a bit. This is a rather busy time of year for me, although COVID has slowed things down from how it usually is.

Anyway, please bear with me. The chapters will be posted. Just might take a bit more time.

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!

well, I accomplished some stuff today.

I got my eye exam done and new glasses ordered, I got my laundry done, and I went through all the paperwork in my paperwork drawer and put what I need to keep in an accordion file and threw out the rest.

so not bad.

After months of reaerch and i have to admit, prevarication, today i've made a good start on the new Trixibell Heartswoon 'adventure'! The working title is a bit of a mouthful, A Leipzig Ring des Nibelungen which may be changed by the time i publish! It's set, as you might guess, against a background of a Gothic adventure to Leipzig. I will publish each part to Patreon as its completed so if you've been kind enough to support me through that portal, head over there now to read part one!

I just tried uploading an image (an 800px PNG) to BCTS but it failed. Resized to 600px and converted to JPG but all failed. Is there a known issue with image uploading?

(I was trying to announce a new mini series .....)

Hi everyone,

Okay so I've been trying to be mindful of my emotional state during my current manic phase, and I think I found out something. I'm more suspectable to anger while manic.

I guess this makes sense, since I've seen people who are normally mild mannered turn angry and hostile after say having a few drinks.

So that's something I'm going to have to watch out for, but at least now I know it can happen.

As usual in the UK, the authorities, to avoid upsetting business, once more have us 'celebrating' a National day not on the day itself but on the following weekend, today then, the National mourning for those lost and injured in military conflict kicked off at 11.00am this morning. I always try to observe the 2 minute silence, its not always possible but this year a pause in the day's DIY efforts was enoiugh to take part and to see those in power doing their symbolic wreath laying at the Cenotaph in central London.

I just received word that Smashwords has awarded my book Premium Status! That means it goes out in their premium catalog to potential Ebook retailers. I am SO excited!!!!

Below is a link to the book's new sales /order page.

Hey all,

This fascinating article appeared in today's i newspaper and it concerns the history of transgender people and how the law treated them. Very few knew of a court case from 1968 which was heard in private and the details hidden away. It certainly affected the conduct of the April Ashley case in 1970 and is basically about the establishment elite giving the rest of us, especially transsexual people the heave-ho until the European Court of Human Rights caused Blair's government to amend the law.

I was flicking through Youtube (as you do) I found some video's with feminists asking stupid questions. Really dumb stuff, why are men seen as the stronger sex? Men should be taught not to rape etc.

Ricky Gervais answered that one

I understand Feminists want (wanted) equality, that's fine, but men and women are not physically "equal" . Our bodies are designed to do different things.

Just an amusing bit of U tube. Happy Okovango 'Piss-artists'!

11-11 Remembrance Day\Veterans Day, There are many stories here at BCTS that are suitable for rereading today.

Here is a link to one of my Favourites

It's November 11 where I live so here's a reminder of what governments can do to kids who can't even vote.

Okay, so I think I hallucinated yesterday.

For some reason I looked at my left hand palm side up, and I saw a bunch of fine scratches. Nothing new about finding scratches, I do that to myself all the time and don't remember when, but then, a couple of hours later I looked again . . .

No scratches. No signs there had ever been scratches there.

I don't quite know what to make of this, folks . . .

Well, I got some things done today, but at a cost.

I helped sweep out the grate, and went to try and get my meds. I got the one med, but the blister pack wont be ready until Friday. By the time I was coming home I was crying from knee pain.

Then I had to somehow get things under control so I could drive south and pick up Sam at work.

Ah, well.

I have had a super frustrating day.

Sharon originally asked us to come down at 9 AM so Sam could give her boss a direct deposit slip - only to call us just before we left to come down at 11 30 instead, then she called at 1030 and asked if we were on the way yet - it only takes us 20 min to get there.

then we get to Sam's work, and since its a pizza place nobody was there yet so we had to go to the mall so they could kill time until the manager would be there.

So, I do apologize for my silence as of late, but I have a good reason for that. In my previous blog I mentioned that I was working directed (mandatory) overtime and, well, I have been working fifty hour work weeks for the last three weeks straight. No word on whether or not I will be working it again this week so I cannot say whether you'll be seeing another serial part this coming Saturday or Sunday. So, I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

I do apologize and hope you have a deliciously devious night,

My seventh book is out on Amazon!
This is a collection of stories based on the expressive and performing arts.

Well sort of!

I've been trying to monitor my emotional state in terms of my bipolar issues, and I think I have discovered something.

I had assumed that my cycle followed a simple pattern - a slow curve up during my manic phase, followed by a slow curve down during my depression phase.

Apparently, its a bit more complicated than that.

During my current manic phase, I've had a couple of what I'm going to call "quick drops" - times when my mood suddenly went way down.

There was a beginning

Well perhaps not quite so emergency as it was.

"Other than the fact that we know that magic somehow exists, we don’t really know anything about it.”

It's a long time since I've felt such a strong urge to write but this latest series of The Joiners seems to make me want to write instead of doing other things. I should be studying not writing fiction while listening to Carpenter's CDs.

Just a quick fyi,

This is about a Canadian Christian Colony but it is not about their religion. They are called the Fort Pitt Hutterite Colony and they grow all sorts of grains on the Canadian prairie. When I write a story I try to make it sweet and romantic, with the characters having kind relationships, free from abuse.

I especially like the colorful, pretty dresses the women wear. I don't have direct experience with them. Sadly, I can not join their community. I hope that you enjoy this video.

Do trans women have more problems in the UK or USA?

Much of America seems a lot more religious than the UK. Our official religion is Church Of England, that usually means going for christening', weddings and funerals for most of us. C of E accept trans people now.

Sorry folks; I'm still sick. Going to the doctor this afternoon.

I did a lot of writing on _Angel of Earth_ the past couple of days, but it was mostly rough stuff, just getting basic ideas down.

Update: I hope none of you ever have to change a flat tire before going to the doctor. :-(

I failed (Passed?) the flu test, so it's not that. (Unlikely, since I've had this year's shot, but possible.) They also tested me for Covid-19, just in case. That result won't be in for a couple of days.

I was half asleep in my bedroom, sorta listening to some show or video my wife was watching in the living room. I had almost drifted off, when I heard a metallic clang. And then ... I was someplace dark and cramped. I sorta knew I wasn't actually there, but it still felt real. I think I'm mostly grounded again, but I'm still smelling paint every once in a while, and my heart starts racing. Got all the lights on, which is helping a bit. Still a bundle of nerves. Not sure if I'm gonna be sleeping any more tonight.

(Yes, I am one of those people who welcomes the Christmas season the day after Halloween)

“A Cracker Barrel Christmas” takes place in a small town in Western Tennessee and focuses on Nicole Armitage, the youngest of the family, and the one who is caught in the middle of all of the arguments the family has every Christmas. This year, her oldest—and self-proclaimed hero of the town—brother is bringing his family home for the holidays and Nikki dreads having to defend her life.

Chapter titles are based on songs by Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

Life Decided Otherwise

As the previous installment was a day late, posting this next one an entire day early! Woot! Part 7 of 8 is up in which more things are revealed and things are set up for the ride to the finish...

Thanks to everyone who's been reading, and especially to all who comment or message! I'm looking forward to getting the last bit of book done and posted, and then comes the fun of re-reading the whole thing and laying out the rest of the story arc for the next few books.

Hope all who read enjoy!!

Interesting article, it seems that the US is moving to make it easier to be who we are.

So I'm looking for a story I read on here 4 years ago or so. It starts off with a middle aged man going through a shopping District. Suddenly a large monster rampage through the shopping District and out into the street while everyone runs away he follows to watch. Then a teenage girl attacks the monster and kills it but is incapacitated and bleeding. The man runs to the girl thinking to help but she shouts for him to stop but he ignores it. So he tries to help getting her blood on him just as the army arrived in hazmat suits.

I was a little disappointed that so few responded to my request to compare the two stories I posted on the weekend and tell me which was the early one and which the more recent.
I still feel that I am very new to this fiction writing gig, although I am always writing for work and some of my colleagues accuse me of fiction.
I am just curious as to whether I am getting any better or falling away under the burden of prolificacy.

I have a Medicare Physical next week where they test my Cognition. I am really frightened, and may cancel it.

Yep, unless i've got my calculations wrong, this weekend the clocks change in Europe for potentially the last time, returning the UK to GMT.

My next Kindle release will be 'Deathtrap', incorporating the Aftermath story. It is being fully revised with new, previously unseen, content. Of course, Alecia is on board for that. Currently that is expected in late November but ... sometimes things happen sooner!

Meanwhile there are two brand new Tammyverse stories in production with one just about finished. Unfortunately they can't be posted here yet but there will be fresh, unseen, Tammy on this site before Christmas! Posting is likely to continue into 2022, after which there will be a break.
