Just to let you all know I am still alive and well and keeping the Balcony alive, I have finally dug out and dusted off some old files on my hard drive and completed the Seasons Collection at Beverly's Balcony with all the stories thus far. Yes, I know it's long overdue. I blame all these excellent authors who keep distracting me and maybe real life issues too.

More recent updates are also posted as well so come by the Balcony, pull up a chair, grab a drink and enjoy the view!

I just published Part 20 of my series Catwalk Confidence and I have a few minutes while my characters are distracted to get this information out. This isn't my story! My story took a completely different tract. My characters were different. Alex was really born male!

I try to keep the cycling element of Bike as fairly realistic as I can, and although Cathy gets into scrapes, she's so far pulled through. Cycling is not without risk, even for the experienced rider.

One of our club, a very fit 76 yr old, died on Sunday morning doing a time trial when he ran into the back of an abandoned car - always a risk when you're racing, especially time trialling. It's just difficult to believe I was talking to him the day before.

The only consolation is that he died doing something he loved, maybe he's the lucky one.

I have mentioned several times that I would never post a story until the entire story was completed. Well, I was in error. Several readers felt that Jim and Margot Campion's punishment was far too severe. Hey, they did steal more than $50,000,000, and cheated at golf. Some also felt that they shouldn't have lost their personalities. I'm not sure that fact was ever established. Well, I began to wonder what actually happened to them. We had left them under the very loving care of Bob and Hilda Brewer. What could possibly go wrong?

Tired of the old limit of male/female in gender selection boxes when signing up for accounts on websites?

Hello fans at BC

I need some help. In chapter 10 I will mention six unicorn names. These six are paired up. When they come to Twainor from Earth, they give birth to a mare and colt each.

I know this is early. I'm getting your imaginations revved up here.

The others are paired up already. Avel and Makaela, Einhorn and Athena, Silverwind and Star Dancer. They have colts and mares. The first six unicorns each have a human soul and spirit, that will be explained in Book 2 for their backgrounds. Also the other six will have human souls and spirits as well.

They are now calling her a transsexual supermodel, this offering from the Observer is quite reasonable.

Sadly, I must inform everyone that my wife Nancy, ended her 1 year, 7 mo struggle with lung cancer this morning, 31 Jul 2010 at 0730 hrs. She passed peacefully in her sleep which is all I hoped for. Her goal after being informed of having the cancer was to live long enough to see our youngest grandson, Deacon (age 3 on 1 Aug 10); get on his first school bus, because she had put all our other grandchildren on theirs.

Well, out of organised religion…

Well, I think I have reached a plateau. Going out in public was good, and I am glad, but now i have to return to pratical matters. I am still in need of a full time job, and i need to get cracking on it. Ah, well.

She brings a certain something extra to her portfolio.

Don't bring an attack on a BC author from another site over here and expect to be allowed to rant on my time. And especially don't do it as visitor. This will get your IP address banned from the site and just did, so you ain't the one seeing this unless you login using a different computer. There can't be a clearer signal that one intends to act as a troll.

No trolls allowed except as characters in stories. This meant you, but you don't know it, trollass.

Hugs to everyone else,
Erin

There have been unfriendly comments made recently on blogs and stories. This will stop because I will remove them.

Hugs to all,
