In this world of algorithms and jackasses, certain things do and do not count.

Bezo is a jackass.

BC needs revenue to stay viable.

BC generates a considerable amount of revenue through the sale of my books. The more positive review for my books, the more books Amazon will sell. I don't take anything from this revenue flow.

Therefore, please read the book, and then review the book. The cash coming into BC counts.

Bezo's jackassery doesn't count.

I have had nothing but grief from Amazon/Kindle over publishing the latest book. What really grates is that it is entirely done by automated message.

Their gripe is that my writing is still here, and therefore I 'do not hold copyright'. As an attempt to break the routine of their bots, I have therefore removed the contents of the stories in the new book. If it works, great, and I shall then try and restore them here.

The work this morning to enable that was further interrupted, first by a Micro**** auto update, and then by a power cut.

A member of the British aristocracy has been in the news media rather a lot recently and it took me a moment to remember that I had included a very minor scene in one of the stories that included the name of said person. Today that's been airbrushed out of the story.

I don't remember having to do this before, but I guess it might happen again as my stories live in the Real World (tm)

Was reading a book awhile back about a guy that is mistaken as a girl while taking a exam for the school to choose 2 boys and 2 girls to go to a exclusive school, he is emancipated and a singer who sings disguised as a girl, he meets a girl and ends up transitioning

Like the title says, some news about the writing and a question for you all.

Here it is, my latest book published on Amazon.
The link to it is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09PYMKXW6

Hi all, was looking through my kindle library and I’ve realised it’s been a year since Tanya has published anything.

Has anyone seen/spoke to her?

Pete and Megan need to find out... is either one of them a lesbian?

about the twenty seventh Gaby Book.

Cathy called. She's home now and recovering still, grateful that no one will be waking her up for her sleeping pill now. :)

She seems to be in good spirits but is tired easily, so it may be a few days before she can say howdy.

Hugs,
Erin

Sephrena's computer exploded last week, just as the holiday weekend was starting. Then she got snowed out today when she went to pick it up. So? Tomorrow? We can hope...

Hugs,

According to one article the most popular New Year's Resolutions are:

1. Exercise more
2. Lose weight
3. Get organized
4. Learn a new skill or hobby
5. Live life to the fullest

That same article states that people making resolutions are successful 46% percent of the time.

My success ratio for the hundreds of resolutions I've made is zero.

However, I'm curious if any of you have made a resolution regarding your writing or reading practices on BC.

Hi!

The final "Dragon's Mark" Chapter (Chapter 9) is on Patreon!

I am working on Book 2 (Dragon's Fang) and will start posting it once I have a few Chapters drafted.

Happy New Year!

HUGS!

I’m looking for two stories

One is about someone makes a bet with a friend because his girlfriend who I think is named M (something) left him so he can’t get a promotion because it doesn’t look like he is settling down. His friend has to pretend to be her in front of his boss I think it was on Crystal story site and the male character might be named John.

The other one is a body swap where a young male student maybe a musician swaps bodies in the middle of the night with his teacher who is having sex with her husband and ends up being a better mom.

I think I first discovered this site when I was about 14 or 15. I must've come here every day to read the stories posted here. These stories got me through the absolute worst moments in high school. I fell off when I went to university, but throughout the pandemic I was feeling nostalgic and I went back through the site (and some old bookmarks) to re-read some of my favourites. It was crushing seeing how many names have since been added to the memoriam. I just wanted to thank everyone.

Maybe it's only interesting to me but these were some of my absolute favourites as a teen:

The latest chapter, #5 of my autobiography is up on Patreon.

Chapter 5 - Painting the Chinaberry Trees

Momma, Daddy and me (age 3) head for California to rescue my Aunt Opal.

From the beginning.

My adventures as a bratty toddler crossing the western US several times. :)

What? Another story? How did that happen? In my problems over the last few months, I sometimes had trouble focusing on certain things. This was a new idea which came to me at one time and I ran with it.

Yep, that's Chrimbo day gone, done and dusted!

I had hoped to offer you another chapter of Ontario this evening, -'ve got as far as first draft on the site but despite many attempts it won't preview so I can't post it. (this is from my phone). After best part of 2 hours of trying i've now given up, life is too short to waste it waiting for the site to work.

"Boy what day is this? "

"Why Christmas day sir, but I'm a girl! "

"Sorry I've just woke up. The spirits have shown me the error of my ways."

"They didn't tell you to be careful about misgendering trans people then?"

"This is 1843, anyone that say they're the opposite sex is often locked away in a mental institution."

I wanted to comment on my story, "Moments of Madness", and offer some support to people who might feel similar, even if different, to how I felt at that time.

I am reposting the story mainly because I needed to fix it up and get it out there again. This is mostly because it is to help me and my feelings I have now, but maybe someone who reads it might feel a connection, and it might help them, perhaps.

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to make sure to let you know that I have been able to write again. My two jobs kept me busy the last few months and I have been struggling with anxiety and mental health in general as well. Mostly due to Covid but other things as well.

I will soon post the next part to "The life of Riley". I'm sorry for the long wait. I hope I didn't disappoint anyone too much.

I'm just Wondering when some more Book for the Morfs Universe is coming out????

Look i told you not to plug that last Santa in, now we can't watch Chitty or even listen to the Queens Speech!

I know that there are fans of classic Sci- fi here and I have just finished what I believe is the best robot book since Isaac Asimov. It's Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguru. Ishiguru is a brilliant writer and takes Klara to a level beyond what Asimov did in his robot novels.
