On Amazon. It’s kind of fun to track which books are selling best each day, and each month. So far, for July, my best-seller is Short Stuff, by far. This is a fun T-Tale about a short (for a male) attorney who finds personal fulfillment and love as a perfectly-sized female. It’s rated ‘E’ forContinue reading “My personal horse race among my books…”

On Kindle Vella. This is my continuing T-Tale about a teenaged transgender witch-in-training, and the terrifying creature that seeks to destroy her just as it did her mother. Take a look and see how you like it! A continuing episodic story on Kindle Vella.

Just posted to Kindle Vella. This is my continuing T-Tale about a young trans witch coming of age and coming to terms with her own inexplicable and prodigious power. I promise I’ll pick up the pace of my writing now. This story is fun to write!

It would almost be funny, if it weren’t so pathetic, that a number of Amazon reviewers have decried that a number of my books call out the obvious transphobic hate speech of so many on the Right. I wonder how those folks are feeling now that the emboldened fascists are calling for trans people toContinue reading “Conservative hatemongers”

…of Short Stuff. A reader complains that soy supplements could not produce breast growth—even though that part of the story is based on my own personal experience. Then this same reader complains that I don’t understand the difference between a cross-dresser and a transgender woman and suggests I learn more about the subject. Sigh. Honey,Continue reading “A Puzzling Amazon Review”

In my book Solstice: A Transgender Tale, one element in the story is Roko’s Basilisk. This is not something I dreamed up but rather an actual thought experiment proposed back in 2010. Hopefully, that’s all it is—a thought experiment. https://slate.com/technology/2014/07/rokos-basilisk-the-most-terrifying-thought-experiment-of-all-time.html Solstice, by the way, is available this week on Amazon at no cost. Enjoy!

Of The Night Festival, from a reader on Amazon: Captivating Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 3, 2022 I really love this author’s writing. She has the ability to draw you in to her well crafted story. The trans characters in this book are believable and the situations that they experience are realistic andContinue reading “Another Wonderful Review…”

Is now available on Amazon. Very minor edits—fixed a few typos, added just a few clarifying sentences here and there (it is a complex plot, after all) and added a tiny new detail at the very end that occurred to me. Solstice, for those who don’t recall, is a sci-fi Twilight Zone style story. YoungContinue reading “Slightly revised Solstice edition…”

…about my blog post regarding correcting a typo in Night Festival, based on input from another reader: I appreciate your willingness to make such corrections. So few writers bother once a work has been published. Your attitude shows in your writing, which is exquisite – realistic when set in the real world, with verisimilitude whenContinue reading “A lovely note from a reader…”

Just got brought to my attention by a kind reader. Such things are the bane of a self-published (and self-edited) author! I will put up a corrected version later tonight. Thanks, Terra!
