I write for the joy of meeting new people–my characters–and learning what happens to them. I'm very interested in the discovery of a person's true nature and sexual identity, and exploring different genres and structure. If I may offer some advice: Try not to got caught up in medical or scientific details. While I try to be accurate, it's not this medical procedure or that genetic revelation that matters–it's the character's journey that is most important.
I call this the "Star Trek Phenomenon". People will accept Klingons, transporters, Spock ...and yet they get upset that the Enterprise makes a 'whoosh' sound when it flies past the opening titles of the show. They point and yell, "There's no air in space so it can't go whoosh!"
Yes. Scientifically accurate. On the other hand, they accept the theme song and don't point and yell, "There's no air in space so you can't hear an orchestra!" Also scientifically accurate. And, like the 'whoosh', it has absolutely nothing to do with the next 59 minutes of story.
Accept the 'whoosh'. Accept that the medicine or genetics in stories are the vehicle to move the character from one point to another–
Sort of like the Enterprise ...

Star Trek
I've only ever seen one episode and that was years and years ago (we haven't owned a TV since we were married in 1967). The only thing I remember about it is the split infinitive at the beginning but then, you Transponders seem to always split infinitives at every opportunity. I'm not sure which is worse - split infinitives or sentences that use prepositions to end with.
The most amazing thing about your stories, Karen, is that you seem to have so many stored away. I can't imagine how you resisted the temptation to publish them. Well perhaps the most amazing thing in fact is the stories themselves and their characters. I'm simply flabbergasted at the quality. Thank you.

I've Read Several of Your Series
I've enjoyed all that I've read so far. Thanks for your "sort of mission statement". A few of us have gone off the deep end a bit on the mechanics (how it would work in the real world) aspect of some stories/series; so, your point is a good one.
You've really burst onto the scene here at BCTS in a very good way with several series and daily postings of the current ones in progress. I'm pretty much spoiled already.
Thanks for sharing and posting here. I hope you are satisfied with the response that you've received.
enjoy

your books at Lulu
Well, it was an adventure, downloading these e-books for a first-time noob of this type, but well worth it. Based on my enjoyment of all your stories here, I bought all 6 and am reading, and enjoying, Fashion Class.
