The fifth and last chapter - at least for the near future - is now available. I hope my first story managed to extract a few laughs and tears. As always, I'm eager to hear your thoughts.

Today I added chapters 3 and 4. They are both rather small, so there will still be a chapter 5 following at a later date, probably tomorrow.

Big step for me, small step for mankind: my first two chapters of my first story ever are now - hopefully - published right here on TopShelf. I ended chapter 2 with a cliffhanger so I can find out how many readers actually care about the story from the complaints about it. *evil grin*

I intend to keep this series very small, probably only one or two more chapters. Right now, it's more a matter of wetting my feet, but I plan to keep the option open to perhaps add some more chapters later.

I've been busy around the house. Though the bug to write something is nipping at my heels. I have late evenings and next weekend available to write, I do need to finish sewing up some more tops, trousers, tent sides and Rope standards for Palm Springs Ren Faire which is 23rd, 24th, and 25th of March (less than 2 weeks). Sew soing is going to come first over writing until I get back from faire and visiting my folks which will be around April fools day.

For those of you that love a lovely gown like I do, you've got to watch the PBS special "Celtic Woman - A New Journey". I loved the original special from two or so years ago and bought the DVD; so when I saw the new special on tonight I had to tune in.

Let me tell you, those women are wearing some of the most beautiful gowns I've seen in a long time! If you love to dress up, or dream about dressing up, you'll want to see these gowns! And the music these women perform is absolutely fantastic! Five singing angels and a beautiful blonde fiddle player, it's well worth the time.

Hello Everyone! I'm blogging here because I was concerned that the Comments for my Deal or No Deal Story was getting a little off tropic but I decided that I did have more to say.

WOW!

Is this site Great or what!!!

For those of you that read the teaser for Coeds, the entire story is now completed and posted on Stardust.

I was reading about the Largo FL city manager who is being fired for being transsexual. Ignorance and bigotry strike again. The "so called" religious leaders who spoke against this person show they really do not understand religion or what they purport to teach. God is love not their petty and devil spawned bigotry. Pontious Pilate and Torquemada would be proud. No doubt Hitler and Stalin would be applauding them also.

Yours in disgust;

Hello everyone! I have finally posted my entry for StarDust's contest. You can find it of course at StarDust! Strange Happenings in Ragnorak County was my third try at a entry since the first two started going way way over 10K words. Many thanks to Holly Logan, H.E.R, Paula, and special thanks to Angel for their help. Enjoy!
Hugs!
