So, after a good night's sleep I'm feeling somewhat better and able to string two sentences together!

that there has been no update today, basically I'm too tired - i'll explain tomorrow when I will post the next chapter of Express.

After I retired, a couple of years ago and move to a small town in the foot hills of the coast range in Oregon, I got bored and decided to drive school bus for the local schools. Now, while I don't make any real effort to hide my trans status, I also don't flaunt it. As such, I generally look pretty androgynous. That means, long hair, past my shoulders and and my full size breast forms in a bra every day. My hair is usually pulled back at the sides and captured at the crown of my head with a simple brown barrette. Even so, most people clock me as male.

Several people have been asking about authors, so I will too.

Does anyone know what has happened to Tas, author of Ilos, Christine Myr, author of Caught in Slips, and Konzill, author of Achievement Unlocked?

Whatever happened to Sleethr, Bailey Summers, and Megan Campbell?

While in the store I saw a beautiful Christmas dress and since the store started playing "Dress you up in my love" I modeled the dress against my body and danced.

Gad I'm SUCH a girl sometimes ...

I have no idea of the story's title, or of the Author.

On another planet far away, men are vying for power, and one of the opposition gets zapped with a mysterious device that sends him far away, to another planet, a primitive one. The man emerges on this planet buck naked, and transformed to a woman. In a few weeks she finds that she is Pregnant. Fortunately, she emerges at a temperate time of the year. She learns to kill her own small game, avoid being eaten by a predator, and learns to catch and cook her own fish.

Yes indeedee, today you can read the first chapter of Gaby Book 20, Express, here on BC for absolutely nothing.

I'm still alive and well at 76 and still work 2 to 6 days a week, as needed. I always said I'd reconsider retirement at 75; now I say I'll reconsider at 80. I love to work, especially in health care, as I can make a real difference to my patients quality of life. I still laugh and sing every day; dance too, though a bit slower.

I remember a story about a ts girl who could fix mowers etc, eventually gets courted by a french geezer i think working out of his old building on a golf course fixing his golf buggies. Any know what it was, cant remember if it was finished

Maybe its a sign

I've apparently been on BC for 14 years 12 months now - so that's 15 years of Gaby, I can't believe you lot aren't bored yet!

Hey everyone,

Just a quick note to let you all know that I'm finally starting to feel better, I'm merely down to sniffling, coughing and a bit of sinus congestion. So still a bit under the weather, but a far cry better than I was doing at the beginning of the week. I'm hoping that I can be somewhat back on schedule by Wednesday now that my head is somewhat clearer and I can think again, or at the very least manage a chapter of I Wish.

Anyway thanks to everyone for your warm thoughts and patience and I hope to be back in full swing soon.

*big hugs*

At times being out and post operative as a transgender woman can be a "Hard Knock Life", filled with desperate emotions.

A genetic woman I know has been a good friend for nearly a decade, and lately she has started listening to "Candace Owens" and her "Walt Heyer" Videos. She is driving me nuts in trying to use his nuttyness to get me to change my life. In my opinion, Candace is in the video making racket to make money, and he's gone round the bend, perhaps into Dementia?

So I have been asked, about my writing, over the last few years. The most understandingly typical is my original serial.

I have tried to get back into writing, for some time now.

However it appears the fates, are not quite or were not quite in favour of such.

I AM getting my muse back & I have planned and came up with a great deal of story idea’s

Over the last few years, those that have kept in touch and or read a number of my blogs, know my life has been anything but easy, and rather too busy to do anything involving anything solitaire to my enjoyments.

I had writings I was working on, but Hackers & viruses etc, screwed up 2 desktops on me & now 1 Laptop... which thankfully but lass then I desired am paying off a new less satisfactory laptop.

My caretaking days & babysitting has been well vacant from my life, as the grandparents mainly my grandma passed away 2 years ago.

But abuse kept me from myself & I had to flee my home with nothing & spent 4 monthes in a woman’s domestic abuse shelter (under classified contract)

So struggling with poverty, famine etc personally with literally nothing more or less... it has given me more or less any effort for my creativity to flourish or at least put any in any action.

But, that I think is coming to an end, solitude has messed me up but also provided me more push to write again, just as I was like more or less back when I first began...

Maybe that is the rub, solitude is my muse.

I will no longer give time periods on anything... I hate saying anything that hold no weight... I believe you should always fall back on every word you make.

One of the biggest issues, which may seem small, is all the story details, I had wrote out... It was left behind when I fled, so I have to redo that too

So not sure if smart to do this or not, but I would love your feedback on these idea’s, pretty please

well its been years since i was here . life has been ..... interesting im a lot older hopefully wiser and have not written anything since go figure does that mean i am lazy or just not interested in writing any more hard to say . hope all here are well . rues

Hey guys, I wanted to see how this went, but I need help getting my two bunnies fixed, From every source Ive read or seen, or been told, it helps prevent cancer.

If you guys can, help these two cuties out!

That's right, I have another, yes, another book, live right now and ready to sell, sell, sell, on Smashwords!

Enamored: A Transgender Romance Fiction Two pack!

If you like my stories "Romeo and Roomiette" and "Little by Little," then this is the pack for you! Enjoy both on your favorite reading device for the low, low price of only 1.99 USD.

the reception to my last two posts is disappointed. And while I did get a nice personal message that the second chapter of Revenge hooked them and they enjoyed it. That helped inspire me further on that
I hoped someone would tell me what they thought about the Star. I do know that may be of the most brutal stories

My story 'Lost Luggage' has just gone over 400 kudos points.

Lost Luggage link

It is rather a dark tale but one that I like a lot.

A big thank you to all who have read my stories and found time to 'like' them via kudos or to comment.

It was a personal story from an author written four years and one of the points of her story was people obsessed about weight and being skinny. I pray she has finally found herself.

Part 3 of Call of the Light is up! This one took a bit more editing than expected, several scenes needed slight re-writes. But this completes the first half of book 3 of what I've mentally been calling the 'Heaven's Light Saga'. This part bears witness to the attack on Whateley (oh no!) and a small peek into the beginnings of Heaven's history...

You've been patient, I've been blonde, but here, finally is the penultimate chapter of Girl's on Fire.

When I hit a wall trying to expand my already started stories (Three! ....what was I thinking???) I refuse to be stifled and just open a new .doc file & start spilling out whatever distraction the muse puts in my way to keep me distracted. (sigh)

Perhaps I have been kidding myself in thinking I don't actually like men?

I can't actually figure it out. Maybe he could be my Daddy? I never had a proper one. :(

He is actually a Fireman on a Steam Locomotive. You don't actually see the picture when the Video is playing, but it is the little picture that shows before you click on it.

Just so everyone knows, the fire in Calimesa is about two miles to the west of me, down in the canyon, and the wind is blowing north. I'm fine and the dog is fine.

Hugs,

Hey everyone

I have no real reason to post other than to say thank you to all the authors I've read on her over the last three years. Such wonderful stories. I don't want to start a list because I know I will leave someone off and that wouldn't be fair. Thank you for giving a poor lil transgirl (ha! "lil" like I'm not 6'0") such entertainment over the few years I've been blessed to know of this site. Y'all will never know...

I wonder how my stories fit here. So far I posted a story about a prince being treated badly. I have posted a story a husband who is being abused at work by his boss and faces a feminization and a forced marriage to a sadistic mobster with high level connections. And a strong wife who is determined to do anything she can to stop it. I have a lot planed there but it is brutal

I have also posted a recent story about a very abused and manipulated submissive husband who was cheated, and ignored, only there to serve his wifes sadistic boyfriends plaything.

This is simply a thought, and it might be more work than the admins and moderators wish to take upon themselves.

After re-reading several older stories, it occurred to me that with many of the authors that have ceased to post, their status is unknown for most people.

Might it not help to add a line to authors pages to give whatever information was last known about them? Active authors, of course, could do something similar. "As of 11/14/1776, I'll be going dark to pursue my goal as a crab fisherman in Maui."

Heya everyone! I just wanted to share with y'all that I've got a brand-new book available on the interwebs! It's called "Grue's Frightful Tales Volume 1," and is a collection of short horror fiction!

It's good! It's cheap! It's creepy, but no more scary than the ghost stories when you were a kid! It's seasonally appropriate! It may or may not mean the difference between me being able to pay my bills in November! BUY NOW!

So I got pointed out to me rather bluntly I dont pass at the evening service at my church Sunday night.

Sighs ...

The walkway from the campus library to the student union was lined with rainbow flags mixed with blue, pink, and white transgender flags. The Pride Week flag display guided the noontime pedestrian traffic toward the busy plaza filled with food trucks, merchandise booths, and tables representing advocacy organizations.

Hey everyone,

I'm sorry to say that I won't be posting Syryn's Song ths week. I was already behind on writing this week due to RL issues and general busy-ness, but now I've also caught Martin's cold. That would make it hard enough to focus on the very long chapters that I write for SS, but I also read something recently that has made me turn very introspective and now it's damn near impossible to focus on finishing it before tomorrow.

Sorry again to everyone who was looking forward to it, but I'm just not in the state to finish it :(

*big hugs*

A recent story here reminded me of one from an Author that published one about 8 years ago, and then they disappeared. I do not want to pop any bubbles or offend any sensibilities, so I won't name the Author nor Story Title.

The Pique of my curiosity "peaked" to night so I decided to see what happened to that Author if I could. After searching for too long tonight, I think the story came from a Sci Fi Book as Fan Fiction, or perhaps from a Video Game.

Hi everyone,

I had really hoped that I would have Twice Removed finished on time his week, but a thunderstorm and power outage kind of slowed my progress. It's almost ready though and will definitely be posted sometime Friday. I was trying to stay up to finish it, but I'm just too tired, so I'm going to go to bed and get some rest so I can finish it properly in the morning.

*big hugs*

When I decided I wanted to share a story I had been thinking about on this site I promised myself I wouldn't whine about the reception it would get. The story has a lot of content that might not be everyone's cup of tea and I respect that. But I had to write it the way it came to me and I even embraced some of the more challenging aspects of my inspiration on purpose, trying to do it MY way and not how I have seen it done countless times before. The irony would be that the story would be couched in familiar tropes and settings. I was shooting for subversion.

Anyway, I knew that the audience would be limited and skewed towards the "lurkers" among us. I think I've made my peace with that. I think. What has surprised me is the silence. I've had a few very enthusiastic supporters DM me and that has been absolutely lovely. But I kinda thought there'd be more comments (none for my last 3 chapters and a total of 4 for my last 5). I thought that by posting it I could learn something about how my writing affects people.

So far, I do see it being read. Not like some of the more popular stories, but again, I knew that going in and at least someone is reading it. So, whether or not you've read any of it, here's a chance to tell me what you're thinking without having it be associated with my story.

Its only taken a couple of days but I have at long last got everything dry after my trip to the sometimes damp Cycling World Championships!

I know I mentioned this not long ago on Facebook, but I just wanted to mention again here the importance of leaving a review on a book you bought on Amazon (and I don't just mean All for Love available on Amazon for $2.99 :) ) The reviews really do help and if you enjoyed the book and want to see more of them from your favorite author, leaving a review helps that along. Just like comments here, only more so. My latest book has been out for several weeks and has managed only one review.

My older brother lost his SSI because he suddenly makes too much money at work for it. We need help with the electric bill this month.I started a Go Fund Me, any help would be appreciated.

New story up!

https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/81195/floodlit

From the NYT review:
'At the center of “Pet” is 15-year-old Jam, a trans girl who is loved and protected by her family, and an entire city. Lucille is more than a safe space for Jam. The city represents a sacrifice redeemed, a battle won — but not forever. Emezi opens “Pet” with an evocation of the struggle of good against evil. Once there were monsters everywhere in Lucille. There was a revolution and, in the end, the angels won. We’re reminded of the simplicity of it all: Monsters hurt people, angels can save us. Yet this idea also underlies the novel’s poetic complexity. We all know what monsters are, but, as Emezi puts it, “when you think you’ve been without monsters for so long, sometimes you forget what they look like.”

The major rewrite of You Are a Meany is coming along great. I am taking my sweet time so I do not fall into the mistakes I make when I rush myself. I also have a great editor to help me.

I do want to pay back the site for helping me find an editor and also for when I post the blog about the book being on sale. The best way I am able to do that is by posting a free story. It is a revised old one from me. I added a lot to the story so it is just not me catching more of the spelling and grammar errors.

Love N Hugs
Sarah

come on and leave a comment.... don't make me threaten the lives of Pixies to get your attention!

I've forgotten the name of a book - I'm not sure if this is where I should be asking if anyone knows the book name?

Basically it's a body and gender swap novel. From memory the female wanted to be male and was acting out with her/his parents. The male who is the MC had no known gender issues. They met while on family holidays and there was some sort of accident that meant they swapped bodies. Because the families lived in different parts of the country the plan was for them to go and live with the others parents.
