Whatever Happened to Charley's Aunt - Chapter 10 of 10

Author: 

The last chapter has 3000 reads and no comments which is pretty sad. It is a well written "who done it" story. Charlotte Dickles is an exceptional "gotchu" writer in the style of, if one figures it out before the end they have to be psychic. When writers post stories on Big Closet, Fiction Mania or any of the freebie sites their only payment is gratification from the readers who leave comments. The numbers such as 3000 readers is nice but still just numbers.

12 TG women killed already this year

Author: 

I can't say it often enough. Don't put one's self in a non defensive position. I know everyone wants to be accepted. Predators are the most accepting kind. One time I made a list for not only TG but any person to follow for safety. Especially TG and women need to be extra alert of their surroundings and the body count in that clear space. If anyone is closer than ten feet make sure one's hand is wrapped around mace, pepper spray, or other weapon. Because of my lifestyle I pack heat, usually on my hip with a shirttail draped over it. More than once I have uncovered my defense.

Best Dressed at the 2015 Met Gala

Author: 

Some of the ladies thought it was Halloween??? I swear some of those outfits made me physically shudder. Only way I would ever be caught in many of those dresses I looked at was if I was dead. Has everyone forgot what class is or is shock the new normal? Looking at a few of the ladies caught in the background I saw many who still had the idea what a woman should wear to an evening event.

Maybe more than most want to know about transgender

Author: 

Over the years I have learned, hoping with knowledge and time transgender would finally start being understood by the general public is an effort in futility. With the hate and fear mongers spreading their own biased opinion of transgender being a mental sickness or some such, far too many buy into the lies. Scientific research aside, facts discarded, the hate group hasn't a clue. Their hate and bigotry stops with their own personal fears and opinions.

Snake Oil Publishers

Author: 

When we were actively publishing it seemed I spent half my time warning wannabe writers to watch for the con artists. Writers give birth to a story. Because it is their baby they are willing to do almost anything to see it in print. Whether they are thinking of being the next Tom Clancy and famous and rich or just famous, the author stops thinking of risk.

Raw Subject Guns

Author: 

There is an old saying, God made people, Samuel Colt made them equal. If one thinks about it there is a lot of truth in there. A hundred plus pound girl has the same equal defense against a four hundred pound bear, rabid dog, six hundred pound moose, three hundred pound man, etc.

Ghost Inside My Child

Author: 

Amazingly when I read someone and tell them about their life or lives before the present one they are trying out, it is all familiar to them. Usually they bring some of their past to the present without knowing why they feel a certain way, act a certain way, or why knowledge of different aspects of a job comes naturally to them. And yes most everyone tries out a different gender as they go through one life after another. I only read two different people that never changed from boy to girl or girl to boy. That one seems to be the hardest part for some to accept.

Transgender Transition Taking Place

Author: 

A friend pointed me toward Bruce Jenner who is making the news as she is switching her nouns from him to her. I had already been reading stories of the ongoing event and most of them are biased against Ms. Jenner. I had hoped with time and knowledge we were putting a lot of that behind us.

Not a Doctor

Author: 

I see so many emails, posts, and talk to people who tell me, "John died. He was sick."

Years back I knew if a person had something wrong when I got close to them. Every disease, every illness has its own peculiar smell. I met others who had the same sense of smell but only one who knew exactly what the problem was by the smell. She was a nurse of all things. The doctor she worked with would always ask her about his diagnoses of a patient.

No driver's license

Author: 

Russia has included in their infinite wisdom to ban all sexual disorders from holding a driver's license. A short list and by no means inclusive, transgender, cross dressers, homosexual, gay, lesbian, and probably anyone carrying or even thinking of porno. I wonder if women are allowed to wear pants and drive? Funny but I didn't realize how one dressed, considered sex, or gender affected their driving abilities. Unless of course we included chains and whips and all that other kinky stuff that could affect one's ability to operate a motorized vehicle.

writers manage to find readers dispite and because of Amazon

Author: 

I don't like the pricing scale of Amazon. They aren't doing the heavy lifting in book promotions. They provide a venue for authors and readers to find one another. What I do like is many authors who would not ever get published by the big mainstream publishers are able to find an outlet for their talent. More than that, the main stream publishers are no longer the gods of publishing deciding who their anointed one will be.
