What's in the works

Ok... I've decided that I want to be a professional writer. What, with three really good novels already completed (The God Bless the Child trilogy) I think I have a good foundation. As for the original book GBTC I have it available on Amazon, Lulu, and now Smashwords (After 2 hours of trying to figure out the editing and resizing the title page).

Wren is editing Growing Up Jenny (I hope I get an update).

And then I can work on the mammoth Finding Jenny. Here is my thoughts. I will publish each as a separate book and then do an omnibus addition (I will probably have to include a small story about Jenny to justify doing so) that includes all three. After that, I think I will write Phenom. Phenom takes place during Jenny's senior year of High School. The book will mainly focus around the budding baseball career of a one Mr. Shawn Sweet. He is an ace pitcher at high school and is projected to be the top overall draft pick. He wants to propose to Jenny, but Chase and Skeeter won't give permission until Jenny reveals her past to him (the fact that she was born in a male body). Before she has the chance to do so, someone leaks the story out to the press that Shawn is dating a Transsexual and he gets bombarded with questions like "what is it like being the first openly gay male in baseball?" A good meaning friend (probably a new character) tries to lure him away from Jenny and towards the rock-star lifestyle. I also have plans that Chase is running for some political office, perhaps senate or congress, so the outing of his daughter will have some ramifications there as well, since Chase is no doubt a republican. It's a really good book, once I write it.

In the meantime. I plan to release an e-book of short stories. I was thinking of The Dress Punishment, No Greater Love, The Wishing Blanket and summertime pinks. I could really use an editor or editors to clean it up. I've looked at them to long to be of any use. I might remove one of those stories and replace them with something completely new, if I can come up with an idea for a short story.

I am also planing on writing my first novel length non-TG story. It's called Fallen Angel, about a baseball player who gets a brain tumor.

I will continue to post stories here as well. I plan, after eating some egg salad, to write some more on the cure and hopefully post something by Monday. I also have plans for my first romance story. I really have to start scheduling things and keeping track of what I want to do. I think I might be at the point of almost having real talent at telling a story and actually writing it well. Or I'm delusional, which is just as good.

Also

Also, since I forgot to put this in my original post.

I am still looking for people to review GBTC on Amazon. And now Lulu and Smashwords. I am willing to reciprocate.

I will leave the novels up on this site probably until the New Year and then take them down.

Writing is what you do when you put pen to paper, being an author is what you do when you bring words to life

Or....

I think I might be at the point of almost having real talent at telling a story and actually writing it well. Or I'm delusional, which is just as good.

Why not both? Giggle.

No, seriously. You are a talented and good writer. You spin very good yarn. Part of, in my honest opinion, that yarn spinning, has to come from some mighty grand delusions. I know when I manage to come up with something I consider good, it involves some mighty fine ones.

Sounds Great

Sounds great I think that most of the authors here at BCTS are good enough to go main stream and write for pay . Some of the novels are pretty darn good. Mystery,international spy stories , love & heart ache.

GOOD LUCK Little Katie what pen name are you going to use so we know who to look for when they get printed.
