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.

Something I'm working on sporadically. A little blurb about the book I've got sitting on the back burner:

Hi everyone,

I have a new story coming soon, and before I post it, I need your help with something important.

The cover.

I’ve put together a few possible cover images, and now I’m stuck trying to choose the right one. Since you’re the ones who will hopefully be reading the story when it goes live, I thought it would be fun to let you guys help me decide.

For the moment, I’d love to know which cover catches your eye first, which one feels the most intriguing, or feels like the strongest first impression.

for some of the UK!

Part 3 of Gamma Girl Life has been posted :D

https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/110358/gamma-girl-lif...

my brain has been rotting with a story idea for a while now and its been difficult to sort of visualise one of the main leads but I think i've probably got it....

Hey,

I’ve got something new coming this Saturday, April 18.

Riftbound Flesh is a prequel set in the same universe as The Aeldstorm Saga. It sits at the beginning, the event that sets everything into motion.

This one leans more heavily into the science fiction side of the story.

It’ll be available first as a short early-access release on my site, before I open it up more broadly.

If you’ve read Fractured Rune, this builds toward some of what comes later. If you haven’t, it still stands on its own.

Elsbeth disappeared six years ago today.

The first chapter of Taylor's second book, Gamma Girl Life, has been posted. I hope everyone enjoys!

Just thought I'd share the cover for the book I'm working on

"You okay?" asked Gadgetive.

"Rat," gasped Energia. "Giant rat. Giant, fire-breathing rat! Giant, fire-breathing, exploding rat!"

As a few of us are already aware, AI is now capable of taking a simple sketch and converting it into a photorealistic image:

I’m sorry to report that there will be a one- or two-day delay in posting the new chapter of Surprise Offer. I’m away from home for work, and we’re taking the opportunity to do some last-minute editing. I’m hoping to have it posted tomorrow or Friday.

So...over the past few decades, TG fiction has gone through several distinct phases, and one of the most striking changes is the near‑disappearance of what I'll call the old "coercive discipline" trope — the strict guardian, the melodramatic punishment, the exaggerated authority figure who pushes a character toward transformation. In the 1990s and early 2000s, these elements were everywhere. They weren’t treated as realism; they were part of a larger tradition of heightened, symbolic storytelling.

Hello everyone! It's been a while, although I've had a few emails from people, which were lovely. <3 to you.

I've had a tough year after my house move, which they say is one of the most stressful events in anyone's life. Especially settling into a new community, something that goes on forever. And I had a lot of difficulty settling down to write, and more importantly edit. Another issue with getting the books out is the finances of it. To have a proper author ecosystem behind me, including a publishing setup, I need to build my savings before I GO BIG with Amazon.

Here's the next chapter in TAYLOR's story :D
