Yup, much like most of the UK, Bell acres has had its share of snow this week, its still white outside although there is a bit of a thaw going on today. Net result is no bike rides for a week, which wouldn't be so bad if my muse hadn't decided to go for a vacation at the same time!

Hey ho.

Anyway you do get a new Gaby chapter today, Strange Reunion so there's something to cheer.

I've been sitting on several chapters of the second book of Bian, so I decided to start posting them. It's not going to be more than about once a week but I'll try to stay ahead of myself and keep the story moving. :)

There's a bit of a recap in this chapter since it has been so long since the others were posted. I might do some blogs on the story behind the story, the creation of the World of Difference and of Bloddish, the made up language in the story. :)

But I hope you enjoy the story of Deputy Sheriff Gus Gallant living the life of Alenna.

Hugs,
Erin

Thank you everyone for all your help. I've located the stories I was looking for with your help.

Re:Joe Gunnarson. HOLY CRAP!!!! Can this guy write or what?!!

The whole story arc regarding Eric Mahren and his transformation into Caitlin and the events in Darwin Australia may be the very best I've ever read.

Again, thanks to everyone who helped me find this great story arc.

Well, I am pleased to announce another installment in my pathfinder series is up. I hope people enjoy it!

I wanted to ask if any readers to “Unwritten Rules” would like to see one chapter where the flow is reversed and the chapter features scenes with dialogue between Eric and Samantha, ending with a page or two about the “present situation” with Rebekah.

Just a quick thought....

Almost every high school has the popular kids, the athletes, the nerds and the outcasts.

Some kids have issues with hygiene or physical issues like weight or acne. Others have problems communicating due to language limitations or overwhelming shyness or fear of certain social situations. Self-confidence is a major problem in high school children as they learn to build different relationships.

Other students look at it as an opportunity to pick on others and they gain satisfaction from the humiliation and demeaning of other students.

Has anybody heard from Sara UK i hope life is going good for her

Pretty sure that Dementia is setting in on me. Things have been seeming increasingly bizarre lately. I don't know how fast this stuff moves, but if I make less and less sense as time goes on that's probably the reason. Yesterday, my eyes passed the test to keep my Driver's License, and I mentioned to my Doc that I am concerned about my cognition.

Would like some feedback.

Been thinking of editing, and repairing Camp Kumoni and Princess and the Plague and publishing them on amazon like so many others here have with their works. Would there be any interest in that?

is the new Gaby chapter from the wild and snowy North! So if you want to catch up with things Bond, click right here!

As you might have guessed, the 'Beast from the East' has arrived in my neck of the woods, cold wind with copious supplies of white stuff riding in on its back - about 4-5" so far with more forecast over the next five days.

Hopefully there will be more from me next month but that depends on the weather!

Okay, I think the title says it all.

This past Saturday afternoon, my Inbound freight manager, a beautiful woman by the name of Dana, and I boarded a plane in Charlotte, NC, headed for Phoenix, AZ. Beyond our good timing at escaping the bizarre ritualistic festival surrounding Billy Graham’s funeral in Charlotte, we were headed to Phoenix for the annual RILA gathering which was scheduled there this year

I'm about 3/4s of the way through re-reading Catwalk Confidence

I was reminded of another story, the protagonist is similar to Alex's sister Ellen who is a student in couture.

The story begins in the US, Protagonist is a couture reporter I think.
The investigation takes the protagonist back to the UK, London?, where she bagan as a student in couture.

European 'designer' stealing designs from students in couture, who drop out usually for family related reasons.

Let me first get the debate about that word in my heading out of the way:

Back in 2009, the following was posted:

"Oxford Corrects Spelling of Weird
Posted on April 01, 2009 by happysteve
Oxford University just released news that the word WEIRD has been misspelled in the Oxford English Dictionary for quite some time now and has been corrected to WIERD. ..."

Please pay attention to the date!

I am pondering something in my head that I would like to try to work out, could anybody please tell me if they are aware of another author sharing the universe built by Megan Campbell and Connie Alexander, I am not fussed at the time taken to work this out as long as get some sort of answer.

This is for Erin & all of other techies that maintain this fantastic website, how hard is it to code in something that will take someone to the corresponding top of each starting letter in the persons name?

Back in September I had posted a blog that said I'd been busy. Boy was I right.

Dad has since fallen about 3 more times. This past time he broke his left femur. He has been in the hospital since the last week of January. As of the last post he has moved back into his home. It took them nearly four mouths to finish the work they had to do. We were in a hotel from August to just after Thanksgiving. We also went from the town he lives in and then to 3 other towns. each at least 35 minutes from his town.

In the story (Title unknown too) the ,
01. Set in the US
02. Protagonist "mutates"
03. Protagonist is highschool age, 15-17?
04. Protagonist can drive
05. Family becomes hostile
06. Runsaway - point 3 - term used as protagonist just short of Adult age.
08. Takes Car - point 3 - questioned ownership on age grounds
09. Car breaks down outside destination town
10. Protagonist's suspected other parent resides in town

Lee is Everyone’s Cheerleader, the fifth book in the Lee Corcoran series, follows Lee Corcoran, a senior boy in high school whose life is not going as planned.

In the first book, Boy for the Cheer, Lee became involved in a girls cheerleading program where he was reluctantly introduced to crossdressing. Lee finds that he enjoys the softer side of clothing. Circumstances seem to be forcing Lee to wear a feminine wardrobe in more situations. His freshman summer stole any attempt at masculinity.

Help needed from Julie Jordon, Sapphire Stevens, Monica Rose, Beth Moody and Joyce Melton. I'm currently locked out of my Facebook account and need to "Call or talk to my Facebook friends and ask them to go to https://www.facebook.com/recover and get me a code to prove who I am.

Since I don't ever see any of you and don't have your phone numbers I can't do that. I don't know if I can get it done this way or not but it's the only way I can think of to do it.

OK, I was reading a blog about Althea Garrison. I was intrigued by it and opened other tabs in my browser to find out more. I came back to the tab with the blog entry in it and attempted to comment. When I clicked on the "comment" link the "comment page could not be found."

I then loaded a fresh BCTS home page and the blog entry was no longer there.

At any rate, I was only going to add a link to the Boston Herald story.

Deathtrap 18 has been published two days later than intended as I wasn't initially happy with my editing. The next chapter should appear on Wednesday and the story ends on Chapter 20.

For a bonus, this time, I've included a google map of the locations used in London.

The Long over due, Long awaited for Chapter 12 to Wrong side of the bed has been finally posted. sorry it took so long but my muse wrote that cliffhanger and I didn't know how to write myself out of it.
I hope I did it justice.

Enjoy. A.A,

I'm hooked up with a thing called "Instant Freebie" and get a lot of free eBooks through that. One of the authors sends out a news letter sent out an invitation to get to know you. She gave a little information about herself and then invited me to contact her via Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. She included her email address.

I emailed her, explaining that I didn't really use social media all that much, so I was emailing. I'll insert come excerpts from the exchange. After giving some (very little) information about me and my family, I wrote:

Hello there!
Romance isn't dead - well it looks like Gab is checking out that idea in this weeks, thrill a second instalment of Gaby - Sweet Sixteen!

Having a funny old week, not just as I'm approaching a minor milestone birthday but buying nursery furniture at the same time! Kids, who'd have 'em?

That's it for today

So, I am thinking of taking up drinking on a limited basis.

I like yellow IPA Beer

I do not like Wine but once found 1972 Gewurztraminer to be pleasant.

The very few times I tried the hard stuff, Yukkk !!! Double Yuk. It tasted like cough syrup.

So, I like Licorice, and I like Molasses. Maybe something that is thick and nice and sweet and to be drank in a snifter? But not to get drunk on.

Finally decided that organized religion is for the simple, so just want to kill the pain a little. If someone wanted to bug me some ...?

I am SO excited about the next few chapters of this story being posted, I can hardly contain myself. I just want to post them all right now. but then what will you do after you're done bingeing on them?
Just finishing up Chapter 8 or is it 9? of this part of Erika's story. and feeling very accomplished.

bonus. a couple of the upcoming chapters won't fit into my 3,000 word episode average, so you'll be able to enjoy a few longer parts of the story.

I really hope you all are enjoying it.

So I've been away for a while... I'm planning on working on some of my unfinished works as I have time but I wouldn't expect things to happen very fast. I'm not sure where the various works stand and I will have to re-read them to try to figure out where i was going with them in the first place...

Chapter 38 now amended as necessary.

I'm wondering if anyone who had worked as a solicitor or in a solicitor's office in England can help me get the facts straight for a proposed storyline in my latest novel "There is Nothing Like a Dame". I know it's only a story but I do like to get things as accurate as I can. Any assistance will be gratefully acknowledged.
Regards, Bronwen Welsh

Hello all, i was wondering if anyone remembers a story about a black character who has a druggie mom who just used sex and drugs? and then he meet this "rich boy" and they feel in love? Thanks

Just a quick update for anybody following my silly little blog:

My brother is home from the hospital, but pain in the non-replaced leg is slowing his recovery. Nothing we can do except slog through things ...

Meanwhile, my aunt does have cancer - stage one, apparently, so she's also looking at a long slog before any recovery ...

And me?

Well, other than the fact I've done no writing at all this week, and was sick today to boot, I'm hanging in there.

I promise to be back at writing as soon as my spoons allow ...

I would be very interested to hear what young transgender folk are experiencing in terms of Endocrinology. For the people in my generation and almost as old, some of us experience almost no breast growth, even post SRS. For me, breast growth has been rather generous, and I suspect that is due to variations in genetics ???

I just read a story about a young woman in Austrailia who has persuaded the authorities that only she and her Doctor need to be involved in her life and not the Judge.

Light's Promise Part 2 posted!

God bless the students who died at the hand of very angry and disturbed person.
R I P and God bless the families who lost their children. Valentines day will never be the same for those families.

Maybe I missed something, but anyone know what happened to Hypatia? She had some great stories and hinted at more to come, but... nothing.

I emailed her yahoo addy, but no response yet.

From the Guardian ( where else?) a report of something which many of us dream about.

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/feb/14/transgender-...

and heave and splutter and are THE PITS! Yes as you may have guessed, I'm still laid low with the cold / virus thing, Lemsip is my friend and doing anything remotely strenuous is out. So no riding still - not that the arctic temperatures, snow and rain have exactly encouraged outdoor activity! But hey ho, it can only get better right? More concerned about my dad who's got a dose of the same but what can you do?

Now I've got that off my chest, (but unfortunately not the cold) we can get down to business!

Happy to announce that I recently added an illustration done by the incredible Kylene Devlin to the end of my story "Twin Swap." You can see this illustration at the end of the "Twin Swap Epilogue" (https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/72783/twin-swap-epilogue) and see more art from Kylene at https://kylenedevlin.deviantart.com/. Hope you enjoy!

In local news, a man was charged in the cold case slaying of a transgender woman whose body was found in Roosevelt Park.

I'm trying to find a story about a UK policeman (DS I think) near Reading. He's on duty when a train wreck happens, and a young girl is on the train with her mother. He suffers a heart attack? and is in the same hospital as the young girl who was in the train wreck. They apparently both die, but his spirit inhabits her body, and he becomes the young girl. Any help you can give me in finding this story is appreciated. I've tried numerous different algorithms searching for this story to no avail. Thanks. Rach

Part 1 of Light's Promise, sequel to Into The Light is up!

I'll send a few cents in respect to "commentator" who straightened up the graphics on my last story, among other things. Time is something we all have a limited amount of. I can not replace the time he-she spent on helping me. Not too sure how much of that stuff I have left for myself anyway.

To all the ladies who keep BCTS up and running. Many thanks and hugs for hosting the many gifted author's stories who wouldn't have found a home to share their love of writing if you weren't here for them.

“When She Stops Saying She Loves You“ is a combination of two stories I tried to write a long time ago but never had the subplots:

Jumper
Sun-Eyed Girl

The first one dealt with a family falling apart with the husband not sure if its really his fault or not and he goes to a violent extreme to make it all right in his mind (yes, the title is a three eyed blind reference)

Just letting everybody know that my brother is home, and beginning the long slow recovery/rehab process. And apparently, that was good enough for my muse to send me another little story to share with you all:

https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/73081/rivers-babylon-...

If you have not been following "The Job" by Cyclist then you really must do so. Start at the beginning. Chapter 30 is due up soon. (I hope! I am on the edge of my chair! )
I wish I could write like this!
A.M.

For those interested. You might want to refresh and or get caught up on Camp Kumoni and Princess and the Plague. I just finished writing 2 chapters tonight that will blow your socks off. (proud author) Too bad they won't be posted until after Valentines day.

Just saying

A.A.
