today

I would like to thank all those who chose to read my little tale 'Jools'. I originally had no intention of a follow up to 'Jools'. But I was enamored with the characters and the setting and just could not resist. Plus... What better way to screw up a decent tale than with a follow up? I now want to go to Denmark and spend the rest of my life eating smoked and pickled fish and cheeses.

Andy has a new plan. Tommy asks, "Is it going to get us killed?"

Andy continues his exploration of the hows and whys of being queer. Tommy's sisters make corndogs for the boys.

I just had a nightmare while sleeping on my couch.

In it, some guy had me pinned to the ground with his knees holding down my arms. I pushed and wiggled, and even tried to bite his equipment through his pants, but I couldn't move him off of me.

needless to say, I'm kind of shaky

Is anyone else having that problem?

This is al i remember

Married couple,
He Retired executive of a family owned manufacturing company (there may have been some dogey dealings with the buyout)
she ?

They come to the UK, for a vacation (can't remember if its to do with Ancestry or visit to friends from service days)

they return home and sell up as they decide to move to the UK

as they are people of leisure, they act on their adventurism in the bedroom to spice up their lives

Hubby slowly and willingly becomes wife.

I posted a chapter on three of my stories today, and I realized belatedly that I put a bit of a cliffhanger at the end of each one. Whoops!

But, I suppose, that's the reason for the end of a chapter. Or the end of a chapter is for a cliffhanger.

Hello out there,

Writing Walker's Path Chapter 14 is now live on my website!

I hope you enjoyed this week's Chapter and enjoy your weekend.

So today was a brain-fart day.

I wanted to go to Costco, because we had bought a new cell phone there, and I wanted to get automatic payments set up.

Only when I got there I discovered I had not brought the phone, the phone number, or the account number.

So back home to get the stuff and go back, and they gave me paperwork to take to the bank.

Go to the bank and they say all they can do is give us paperwork and send us back to Costco.

I remember Charlotte Church from when she was not yet adolescent, and her singing was wonderful. Her heavenly tones helped me to survive the really hard times, though I was still hospitalized a half dozen times. These days it seems that the tears of failure are cried. Blessings to you and yours Charlotte Church.

Two is the only even prime number. That makes it the odd prime out.

As Brittney sings, 'Oops I did it again', I messed up my postings big time. Thanks to a blog by Maryanne Peters, I found that I have posted one part of County Sheriff well out of sequence.

There are a number of parts that should have been posted before 'The Interview'. One comment got me thinking and then when answering Maryanne's blog post earlier today, it clicked.
It goes to show that no filing system is 100% perfect.

Taylor Ryan's, Bailey Saga, which starts with Summer of Bailey.

I was the one who suggested Taylor should post here and I'm glad she did, the saga is a detailed description of the tribulations of adolescence made worse by the background of gender discomfort and bigotry or homophobia from some quarters. Virtually all the main characters have a story to tell as Bailey grows as a person and grows up in general. It is a very well written series that brings into focus the roller coaster ride that is adolescence and one person's in particular.

although reading it there is certainly scope for more!

In the UK recently there has been a lot in the newspapers and the news about the conviction of a police officer who raped and murdered a woman.

I am not making light of the pandemic; I lost my mother to Covid. She lived in Mohave County, AZ.

Hi I'm looking for a Proof reader for a non-TG book that I am writing right now

So, I have a new story in the works that I am sharing with everyone.

All i can remember is a particular scene

Written by Julie O
Protagonist Ally Burns (Assistant Director of the Agency. i think)

Ally has to deal with a problem at a regional office of the Internet crimes investigation office

the lead agent has lent agents and equipment to other agencies, as he (if i remember correctly) doesn't see the department has a use in the agency.

Also i think there is some resentment as he sees Ally as an affirmative action hire by the Agency.

One of the biggest questions I get here, is 'What happened to Woodcrest?', which is kind of an exaggeration because most of you aren't even reading it. So why did I stop writing it exactly? I first want to say that when I first started writing here, I began with Allison's Pledge because there were no good sorority stories on here. Now I know that many of you are going to provide links to what you think is the best sorority story on here and I just want to say no, it isn't.

I'd really like to have my daughter and her family over but even after all these years I am apprehensive about being enfem when she comes. I do not own male clothing and almost never wear anything but skirts and dresses. My breasts are very noticeable, so short of binding them, as if...

I won't forcibly thrust my life style on her.

The story I am writing at the moment has the main character wanting to be a woman, but not wanting any surgery (currently) . It has raised the question for me. What is is to be a women.

Is it the clothes you wear? The role you have in society? The way you act and interact? Your Chromosomes? Or the fact you possess a cervix.

The last one is something a Labour MP has said "only women have a cervix". So is she saying trans men aren't men or women born without a cerix or have had it removed aren't women?

Well, it appears I had spoken too soon.

I talked to my insurance company, and I had not let my insurance expire, as I had feared.

Still will have to pay the damage on the other person's car, since it will probably less than my deductible, but still, its a big load off my mind.

Well hello there,

I know I've been a bit absent as of late and I do apologize. There for a while I thought I might drown amongst the tide of chaos, but I held on for dear life and have washed back on shore. There are a lot of details I WON'T get into, but suffice it to say there was a lot of drama in my personal life. There has also been a lot of positive change and progress made, I am now living as myself full time and in about half a month I will be hitting a full year on HRT! Wow, I can hardly believe that it's been that long!

For most if not all my life, I've struggled against self-sabotage, and failed.

Over and over again, usually just when I started making headway, I'd do something stupid and blow everything to pieces.

If I had any hope that the work I've been doing on myself the last few years had cured me of that ailment, last night proved otherwise.

See, I went to pick up Sharon, and on the way there had to merge into the other lane because of construction, but unfortunately there was another car already there.

Here is a call for help.
I am not a reader of TG fiction on Amazon, but I am a writer, and I have been in touch with Amazon regarding the curious categorizations employed in the LGBTQ area.
So, we have the various categories for Kindle E-books including "Romance", "Teen and Young Adult" and "LGBTQ+". Romance and TYA have a subcategory of LGBTQ+. LGBTQ has subcategories including Romance, Literature & Fiction, Erotica, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Mystery & Detective, Biographies & Memoirs, Comics, Manga & Graphic Novels etc.

Tried to read Transfemme's blog post and got this:

by a whole day!

Watching the Cycling World Road Championships Women's Road Race in Belgium at the moment. And while keeping my fingers crossed for Lizzie. It’s daft I know, but I still have half an ear open to hear where Jenny or Gaby Bond is! All your fault Madeline Anafrid

I read an obituary today in my local paper. It was for Bishop John Shelby Spong who died this month at the ripe old age of 90. I had heard him talk on the radio in the mid-eighties and he came across as a radical Anglican with modern views. He openly admitted that he considered himself an atheist and then went on to explain that he believed in God, it was Organised Religion he had a problem with. Well, they had a problem with him at times. He was ordained in 1955 and served in North Carolina and Virginia before becoming Bishop of Newark, New Jersey where he stayed for 24 years.

A few weeks ago, I'd been in an online writer's group, and shared a chapter of one of my stories. One of the people in the group asked me why my character was talking with a Southern accent. Does anyone else who's read my stories see any accent like that? The only places I've lived have been New Jersey and California, so I'm really not sure where I might have picked up a Southern accent.

The Masks timeline has been updated. The revised version can be found at:

Please report any formatting problems, etc. here. (I hope that is the right place for the update. This is being done in a bit of a hurry due to personal obligations. I'll check back on this later.)

I finally finished chapter 7 of my story. I'm so proud of myself. I've had A LOT of problems IRL so finally finishing this makes me feel good. Sorry it took so long, I hope you can understand.

Hello out there,

I was right. It took another week to complete chapter 13.

I need to edit it today or tomorrow and then it should be ready for Friday.

While chapter 13 is fresh off the press (of my fingers on a keyboard) I can't help but mention that chapter 14 is already some of what I would consider my best work. I only started writing it today and I'm blown away at how well I am at expressing these particular emotions.

No spoilers, just know that I am really feeling chapter 14. Mostly because the emotions in it so far have been pent up in me.

Suscribed to hatbox but not able to get stories.

Why do some posts have Unicode #009d after close quotes?

A new Facebook scam targeting authors. https://annerallen.com/2021/09/warning-to-writers-new-publis...

seems to be an ongoing issue for Madeline Anafrid

I'm just ... so tired of these nightmares. I'm tired from the lack of sleep. I'm tired of the emotional drain. I'm tired of needing to go around the house, and turn on the lights. A lot of the time, I won't remember what I dreamed about. I'll just wake up, feeling scared, or angry, or something like that. I remembered what I dreamed about last night/this morning. I'm not sure if that's better or worse.

The middle bit of Light And Shadow is up! Halfway to the finish, wherein various things are indeed revealed!

Please do mind the trigger warnings though. There are a few darker subjects in this one.

Thanks to all who've been reading, can't wait to get the rest of this book posted! We're getting to the good stuff! ;)

Every now and then I stumble across an author who makes me feel like the world’s biggest hack.

My spouse reads about three books a week. That’s how I “found” Sue Monk Kidd.

Kidd writes historical fiction. The first book I read of hers was “The Book of Longings.” It is the fictional autobiography of Jesus’ wife published in 2020.

I remember writing this story but did not know it was attached to a true story. Today, I met the uncle of the murdered Transgender teen. The assailant, a Bosnian man got 20 years. He tried to use the excuse that finding out was so upsetting to him that he lost his mind. Apparently, Washington State has passed a law that bars that as a defense.
