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.

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

Part 2 of Call of the Light is up!

Wherein certain mysteries are revealed and more hinted at. :) Hope folks enjoy.

Thanks to all who read! And please let me know what you think in a comment or message!

Come on over and tell me what you think of Warrior's way and the new characters???!!!!

"Need input!" says johnny 5!

What our your ideas on Penny's armor being made into a modern Roman/ Greek armor set or something along the lines of a Donna Troy from DC armor?

and anything else you can think of!???

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.

ok so a few days ago I watched the youtube channel the nostalgia critic do a take on the movie "The Wall", and it brought me back to one of the darker moments of my childhood.

See, when I was a teen, I saw the Wall, and I saw the movie as a cautionary tale of what I could become. Because I had walls too. Walls that protected me, but also isolated me. So after the movie, rather than seeking help, I decided to try and take down my walls on my own.

It ... didnt go well.

for the Wunderkind!

I'm discouraged and do not seem able to cure it.

I was just reading a very interesting discussion that I had been taken with, but as soon as they crossed an unseen line, I was finished reading it. It feels awful to condemn someone's work just because they crossed a conceptual boundary for me. At least I know it is there, but as to changing my mind about it, that seems unlikely.

After all sorts of grief about backorders and such, my new hard drive is -expected- to be delivered by 8PM central US time tomorrow. So mayhaps some new Stuck in a rut soon?

Well the weather might be a bit damp here in GOC but the first medals of this years cycling world championships have been decided.

Part 1 of Book 3 'Call Of The Light' is up!
Apologies for this one taking so long! Between job changes, moving, and dealing with plumbing (ugh!) things kept interfering with proper writing time. But the entire book has now been drafted so new parts will go up as each part gets edited!
Hope folks enjoy! (And that I didn't miss too much during edits!!)

Thanks to everyone who reads, and especially to everyone who comments! They really do mean a lot!

Well here we are - eventually I've done the photo bit, well started the process!

I'll post these in a series of smaller documents to avoid overloading BC with images so click on the link and you can see the first pdf.

Today is International Talk Like A Pirate Day!

Three (3) years ago today, I posted the first chapter of my first BCTS story. My first serial story, Mary Celeste, was submitted as part of the 2016 Zombie/Ninja/Pirate/Spider challenge. The Mary Celeste serial story was never completed.

I'm getting old...Next month will be my 15th year on here...Been busy with life, but I'm writing all over the web...besides working...

I have made some significant additions to my Joy of High Tech page, at:

Those with an interest in technology and science - especially from a historical perspective - might find this interesting.

I had a strange experience yesterday and I really need to talk about it. I was part of a group meeting all day, and even though I know the people well, I began to have a really unusual way of distancing myself - I began doodling. I'm no drawer, but I started making little pictures of anything I could think of. I still engaged others, but I couldn't stop drawing. I have no idea what this means, but it worries me.

Just a brief vent and maybe an update...

Here's my vent. First, I appreciate all the people who take the time to review Leslie Moore books. I read each one and try to learn. But sometimes, I get confused. Here's an example

Just finished up the restarted, "Twice Removed", and it is still echoing in my synapses.

The other day I watched an old movie, "Starship Troopers" and was disappointed. Apparently they decided to rework it in 2011, and they made a right muck up of it, in my opinion. The first movie was intact, but the others were not recognizable. The Videography was dark and they strayed from the original plot line. What a mess. I wish they'd left it alone. It was childish and immature but fun.

The writing group I'm part of is back, and they liked the little piece i brought -"the care and feeding of huggles"

Down at the Women's Trust Center this morning for checkup. Come to think of it, I didn't get "ma'am" one time while I was there. Okay, in all fairness they used Barbie to address me. All women so..., Let's see, at the restaurant, Best Buy, and Costco it was ma'am. I'm wearing jeans, big ol cowboy belt and big silver buckle, boots black cowgirl felt hat. Okay, a gold satin blouse and I'm a solid 34 C

I had to put down my little girl Pepper(cat) this morning. She had kidney problems that she was meds for but it wasn't working and she was not eatting or drinking. This morning I found her trying to find a place to die in my house.

Bringing her in while mewing was so dam hard it broke my heart to pieces, again. My friend had to be there while they put her to sleep I just couldn't do that again. Holding my mother's hand all those years ago was so traumatizing. Doing that to my little girl I just couldn't.

Paying out almost three hundred hurt me pocketbook wise as well.

I went though every line and edited it, and did my best to help the flow.

I edited the third chapter and now will work on the fourth.

The story has three Clans takes place in the school and other dimensions and they were fighting demon like creatures

Its been a bit of a strange week, this time last week I was in Hamburg!

On more part to go! I can hardly believe it's so close!

Just a brief note to let you know that I've just published the final chapter of "There is Nothing Like a Dame", the third novel in the 'Harriet' series. I tried to put 'Final' on the chapter number but whether this was the problem or something else, it didn't want to go onto the site. I've decided after all that it's not the last you will hear of Harriet. I feel sure there is one more book in the saga.

Well here you go, another Gaby chapter, The Right Honourable, I won't feel so bad now!
