I had a nice conversation with Sigh last night, and I just wanted to thank her publicly for talking with me, and tell everybody she is a sweet woman who I am glad to consider a friend.

Remember, remember the Fifth of November by watching 'V for Vendetta.'

I found a great new tool for authors who want to publish eBooks and need to create cover art. It called "Gimp"

There's been a lot of stuff for pumpkin in my story so far and I'd like to just add a few things recipe wise.

1. Pumpkin Marmalade...

There is quite the balancing act going on with my new post: Unreachable. It seems that there are some who are really enjoying the story and I wish I could just throw it all up at once, but it really is too long (180k+ words). Add on top of that that I'm selling it on Amazon and it leaves me in a bit of a lurch. Of course I want to sell books, it helps with the bills, but I also like sharing my creations as well. I also like reviews and comments and kudos in abundance.

If you would be so kind, take a moment to send a positive vibe to Jaci today, as it is her first day back at work since surgery.

Thanks!

In just about any story, whether it be a TV show or a written work of fiction, the writer often finds he or she needs to include a nameless character in the mix in order to make the story more interesting or carry a scene. I used to refer to these as throw away characters since many of the ones I included in my stories shared the same fate of the extra crewman Captain James T. Kirk often included in his away team. You know the guy, (and they were always guys in the early Star Trek days), the one who went behind the boulder and was zapped.

This video is awesome. I had to share.

I found this blog on de-transitioning, and thought I would share it. It bothers me, because of how similar our stories are, giving me fear that should I get the surgery, I'll only end up doing what he's doing ...

You’re at lunch with Megan and Sandra, who both report to you in your department at Sales, Inc. You arranged the lunch because you know that their work has been suffering due to a conflict that the two seemingly haven’t been able to solve on their own.

Three years ago I signed up to BC.
Then on 2010/11/18 I posted my first story. My, how time flies.

To my dear friend, Annie Galliver, and all round good egg who completes her sixth decade today.

Just wanted to explain why I haven't posted anymore chapters.

as she came home sooner than I had expected did not think she would feel upto travelling so soon, or allowed for that matter. But just after the twins left for class my Aunt and Jas arrived at the door it was such a wonderful surprise.

Jas seems so much happier, I guess I was not as observant as I thought.

I is just so great to be in her arms once more.

She has been busy getting her filing information ready for court and will Have a new Birth Certificate with in the next month.

Goddess Bless you All

Although it is actually the second cooperative effort between Persephone and myself, 'God Save the Queen' is the third of our works to be published on Kindle under the names HW Coyle and Jennifer Ellis. It started as a lark but took on greater importance when Crewman Number Six decided to take a more important role. More on that later.

We both hope you enjoy it.

I am sure many of you are aware we are part time antique dealers specializing in silver. We had done shows for about 20 years before my prostate surgery. For the last five years we've been doing only on-line auctions; however, a few months ago we decided to rent a showcase in one of the nicer antique malls in the area. It basically is giving us a chance to sell a rather large accumulated inventory. We had aske the operators of the mall about getting a larger showcase, and a couple of weeks ago one became available. Two weeks ago Saturday we moved our inventory into the larger case.

Since I finally, after an untold number of weeks, have cleared the sleep deprivation-induced fuzz from my brain, I decided to make use of the writing generators this site links to.

Every Day by David Levithan (Knopf, 2012) is a novel whose main character, A, wakes up every morning in the body of a different person. "The Safe-Deposit Box" by Greg Egan (Asimov's SF, 1990) has the same basic premise, but a very different plot and tone.
