Thanks so much to all my readers out there. The first chapter of my Trios story just hit 100 kudos. It's my second story chapter to break a hundred with chapter one of Music Magic being the first.

Hi all,

An eagle-eyed reader spotted an awkwardness in the previously published distance chart for the Bray/Palar valley.

I have just posted the next segment of Havens Salvation. I am hoping that this is an original story not based on any others work. It is hard to know for sure beings I have read so many stories both here and in other circles but a extensive check of my memory I can not find any thing like this elsewhere.
I am trying to bring the characters alive for my audience giving the people you read about warm flesh and blood reactions to there environment and to each other. You my audience will be the final judge of that.

I know the reaction to Op Rescue: In Plain Sight has been very significant (judging by comments and kudos). That makes me wonder if the audience as a whole considers this better than, on par with, or less than Op Rescue: New Co-Ed. The main reason I ask is that while New Co-Ed has a lot of hits, it has few kudos. That makes me wonder if it was as good as my latest effort, or worse. Or is it an artifact of posting a link to a PDF file (as opposed to a 450+ page story in the form!) so the kudo button wasn't accessible? Was it because New Co-Ed was too long for most people's tastes?

The third book in the Gaby saga should be available for kindle by the weekend - as usual search for 'Madeline Bell'

I hope I don't overstep my bounds, but I would like to offer up a writing challenge for the month.

The title: The Tranny Shop

Katherine Jenkins, my favorite singer is doing "Requiem for a Soldier" on the grounds of a huge old castle in Wales. Can you tell me the location, please?

I was going to reread Alandria's Song http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/book/25622/alandira-s-song but the content seems to be missing -- or am I missing something?

I have "sort of" completed a new story and universe. The working title is "Here Be Dragons", I am unsure if I should give it a few days or post "as is" so to speak and make any changes based on your suggestions.

Happy New Year,
Sunwolf

Due to somewhat underwhelming sales in its first week even by my own meager expectations (2 copies,) I have slashed the price on my Josie's Con book from 1.49 down to .99 americans.

Sorry my brain has turned to mush (or more mush than usual) and my eyes hurt, so apologies for not posting anything tonight. Hopefully, I'll feel better tomorrow.

Not bad for two days. Don't expect it next week, I'm back in work and have to do my accounts for the taxman.

Happy New Year to everyone at the Big Closet: The readers. without whom one of us would be here. The authors, who give us so much of themselves and their imaginations. And to Erin and the staff, who make this place great. May the new year bring you all health and happiness.

For my readers, I am half finished a new chapter of Alex in Wonderland and 21000 words into Syryn's Song the new Hyperverse story I mentioned in my last blog on Christmas Eve. It's a bit longer than I was expecting so I'll probably have to break it into several stories of which Syryn's Song will be book #1.

I know many here are looking for their favorite serial. Others are looking for a stand alone story.

Well here's your chance to read something different.

To everyone--a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year to all of you!

I've been going through some of my older unfinished stories and reading them lately. I came across one from Lilith Langtree called 'The Soul Does Not Perish', it's a well written modern day D&D type story. There were 9 chapters of it posted by Lilith and then nothing. I've not seen anything posted by her in a while and was wondering if anyone knew if she was still writing??

OK, I am waiting for a story about this phenomenom. :}

Nina Kiriki Hoffman’s sequence of novels A Red Heart of Memories (1999), Past the Size of Dreaming (2001), and A Stir of Bones (2003) may be of interest to this site’s readers for one major transgendered character, who is onstage in Past the Size of Dreaming and A Stir of Bones and appears in flashbacks in in A Red Heart of Memories. Several other characters are more or less atypical in their gender identity and presentation. Hoffman has also written a number of short stories about the characters from these books, some but not all of which are in her short story collection Permeable Borders.

I have a visitor staying and sometimes real life and real people have to take precedence over my imaginary ones. We're going to Bath tomorrow, the city not the ablution, assuming the trains are running.

Normal service will, I hope, be returned tomorrow.

I got my first review for my book up at Kindle, 'Heroes of Justice.' It was mostly positive with the reviewer giving me four stars. Apparently despite all the people who have looked it over, mistakes have still persisted. That's annoying since I think at times I can recite the whole book given how many times I've gone over it.

On a humorous note, the review claims to have bought it accidentally because of Amazon's 'One-Click' Button.

However, one review is better than no review!

After a brief discussion with Elrod, I decided to re-read "Trick of the Mind" by Maeryn Lamonte.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to take a moment to say Happy holidays to all of you, whichever holidays you choose to celebrate. I'm a witch so I celebrate Yule on the winters solstice personally, though Martin is having me celebrate Christmas with his/her family this year as well. In fact we need to leave soon for a Christmas Eve gathering. I do have a little present in the works for all my wonderful readers.

Hello everyone and Happy Holidays with a Merry Christmas to all who wants one! For the first time since I've been here at BCTS I'm not entering the Christmas Contest. Too much real life and I had other stories that my muse demanded I work on. Unfortunately none of those had three wise-men in them.

The kinda Sorta Christmas story I just put up, does have three aliens bearing gifts, but that was more an after thought and doesn't really qualify, to me at least.
