A compilation of stories about the brave transgender military personnel who served throughout the years; their deeds perhaps known to all even as their true selves were hidden from view. And thanks to the brave ones who continue to serve today.

The following are previously published short stories and novelettes. Real Life, heartache and sacrifice, celebration and joy, fantasy and even romance are included herein to hopefully bless all. Thanks to every one of my friends here who served and who yet serve on our behalf.

Down to Earth - 2 of 2



Four women, centuries old, versed in the ways of Draoidheil, the old art, not of witchcraft as we know it, but rather blessings and help for mortals; they are charged to bring strength to those living in doubt and fear.

Cause all we are we are
All we are we are

Romance Along the Mississippi


Previously published in serial form as

Did you break me to see if I'd break

'Cause there's nothing now
That you or anyone can say
So save your breath and walk away



Sandy's Romance

by Andrea Lena DiMaggio


Sandy wasn't in the least bit more self-centered than anyone else who was mired in their own depression; that no one understood him was likely the most commonality he had with a lot of folks, but he'd never know because he insisted no one understood.
