and more from the May Queen.

I realise that in the last few years, my upload schedule has been, to put it bluntly, crap. This is despite the fact that I have no fewer than 21 chapters in the backlog that need editing but are otherwise ready to go. The reason I haven't, well, edited them is due to a lack of free time.

its been more like soggy June so far!

I've double posted The Magician's Daughter - Chapter 20. Can one of the lovely administrators of the site remove the doppelganger?

I got a 503 Backend fetch failed message the first time so I saved again. To my surprise it got posted twice. Twice is usually nice but not in this instance.

Thanks for your expeditious response!

a rhetorical question of course but one minute it was starting, the next its gone! At least, that's what it feels like

We have mondy coming in Friday but money going out today and tomorrow.

Personal reserves are rockbottom so we have to hope we don't need them.

Ad revenue is way down, expenses are up. We need more revenue. We're stepping up book production, which will help, and thanks to everyone buying our books!

But we depend a great deal on contributions from our community to meet the expenses of the site, phone and internet access for each of us.

In the past year, Melanie and I have put more than $5,000 dollars of our own money into keeping BC operating. We can't keep doing this.

If you can help, please do. It's greatly appreciated.

Hugs,
Erin

Any more word on what has happened with Bailey Summers?

The last I heard anything about her was Sephrena Lynn Miller's blog post in January 2025.

I miss her. (Or was it "him"?)

is no longer melting!

Gaby and the Apollinaris junior squad are off to their last race before the summer break.

I usually don't post long stories. The only other story longer than 10 000 words was a special experiment.

I occasionally post sequels but those are conceived separately.

The cereal was just my way of having fun with you. All 8 parts together was shorter than most stand-alone stories here.

Now I wrote a 10 508 word story. I posted in two partes.

Part 1 uou can finde here: Just an Ordinary Boy part 1

EE Nalley died a few days ago.

Just posted Ch.7. Enjoy everyone!

What is happening?

I've been doing research (never a guarantee of safety) and think I have found a good reference for Vic's facial appearance. It's the Circassian in the bottom row, second from the left: https://tinyurl.com/pjpp6wu5

Vic is a bit darker and a bit more Asian looking, but that's pretty close.

Hey peeps.

I'm almost finished with Mud Creek. I'm planning out my next story.

I want to write something more "down and dirty" but also something a bit more "supernatural"

I want to use 1994 Mud Creek as the setting. So same old Southern Illinois town.

I'm inspired by the White Wolf games I dabbled with in high school, Especially Mage The Ascension

It's about two college buddies getting into the world of Occult and biting off more then they can chew. One thing I can't decide. Is the magic real or is it all a ruse?

short bit.

for young Madeline!

Part 5 is now posted. Enjoy!

Over the last few days, I've used three different AI programs to help me produce a 30,000-word novel in a second draft, so far. Anyone who would like to participate by beta-reading this revision before I complete a final revision this week, please PM me here on BC, and I will send a copy.

RE: Unfinished Projects:

Several years back, I started writing a story about a beautiful young transgirl who moves in with her wealthy "uncle" while attending art school. At first they get along fine, but then he begins demanding unusual "favors" in return for food and board:

For those of you in Utah, I’ll be at my first in-person author event tomorrow at Davis County Pride. If you’re around, feel free to stop by my booth and say hi.

In the spirit of that, I’ve put the ebook for Fractured Rune on sale for $4.99 for a bit. No pressure, just thought I’d share.
