It all comes to a climax as everyone collides in Bill's Condo. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE NUMBER MISTAKE ON THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER. My fault entirely. Thank you for all the wonderful comments on this story. I really appreciate the support. I hope you all enjoyed the story of Nell, Bill and Rowan. I certainly enjoyed writing it.

It's Sunday. Bill and Nell grow closer and Rowan gets closer to catching up with her wayward brother. Once again, thank you for all the comments. They mean a lot to me.

Off to The Keys to get to know Bill better. What could go wrong? Thank you for all the comments. As always, I love reading your thoughts on my stories.

The date went well. Now what? Thank you for the comments. Please keep them coming

It's date night? How will Nelson deal with all these new experiences? Thank you for your comments. I really appreciate them. I'm glad that some people are enjoying the story.

Nelson steps in to help out his company when his twin sister, Rowan, unexpectedly leaves to take another job. While assuming her identity, he realizes that there is a lot more to the world than he'd previously known and he decides to take some chances he never took before. I hope you'll enjoy the new story. No political this time. Thank you for the comments. It's nice to know if people are enjoying the stories.

No political this time - I need a break.

Thanksgiving week means a visit to the courthouse for this group of friends. Everything is on the line for Bill and Joe, and Connie feels responsible for the whole situation. This wraps up the Found Family story. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you everyone for your support and (usually) kind words. It's always a happy time when I can present a story to my friends at Fictionmania. Stay well, everyone. I hope to return with another story someday. TTFN.

Connor takes a stand for the first time, while his friends worry about what might happen in court. Thank you again for your comments. I know this story and the one prior have a political bent to them, but in this day and age, when people are being attacked and vilified just because they are living a bit differently than those in power, a story about coping with those attitudes is kind of needed.

Connie takes more control of his new life while Bill and Joe deal with problems at work. Thank you to everyone who was commented and sent 'welcome back' greetings. I always love to hear from everyone. Once again, there political aspects to this story. If that isn't your thing, maybe this isn't a story you'll enjoy.

Connie and Toni decide to explore things a bit more and Connie becomes more comfortable in his new persona. THANK You to everyone who commented and thank you for the warm welcomes upon my return to FM. I'd love to hear more comments. I hope you enjoy the story as it progresses, BUT as I warned in the first installment, there are political aspects to this story. So, if that is not something you want to read, please pass over this story.

Due to a cooking mishap, Connie opens up a long dormant part of his personality. It's been a while since I've posted a story. RL has been turbulent but has calmed down and I'm happy to be back. I will post this story in 5 parts every few days. I hope you enjoy it. PLEASE NOTE: There are political aspects to this story, so if that isn't your cup of tea, please don't read it. Also, before commenting on the safety of pressure cookers, please do a Google search on injuries by pressure cookers. I hope you enjoy the story. Please comment.

Our story comes to an end with this installment. I am so grateful that so many people seem to have enjoyed this story. That really is the paycheck for an author on FM. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to everyone who read the story and many extra thanks to those who took the time to leave comments and critiques. Have a wonderful summer, or winter, for those of you in the southern hemisphere. I hope to be back with you all very soon.

Halfway through the gala and Skyler is still in the running. In fact, he's doing quite well. Hopefully things go smoothly from here. Thank you so, so much for all the comments! You are all amazing. I am so happy that you're enjoying this story. Please let me know how you like the rest of the tale.

Why can't things just go along without conflict? Well, it wouldn't be a good story if everything went well, would it? The stakes rise and the pressure mounts. Thank you all for reading and thank you for all the critiques and comments. As I've mentioned, this story was a long haul for me, so I am very happy that it seems to be being received well.

As the Gala approaches, Skyler focuses more and more on what needs to be done, while outside forces threaten to cancel the event. Thank you for all the reviews and comments. I'm really thrilled you are all enjoying the story. Please continue to post your comments. They mean a lot to me.

Well, I obviously did something wrong yesterday when I attempted to post this chapter. Oh, well, better late than never. Things are moving even faster for Skyler as he plunges deeper and deeper into girlhood. And now some decisions regarding what will happen after the gala need to be considered. Thank you for all the reviews and comments. Please keep them coming. It is always wonderful to her from you.

Skyler becomes more determined to win the Gala, especially after discovering that not all of the contestants are nice. He joins Regina and Paula for their first modeling gig and then, of course, life gets more complicated. Please continue to comment and review. I truly love to read your comments, and, even though this story is pretty much completed, your comments do influence my writing. Thank you for your assistance!!! P.S. There are no music links at the end of this chapter. Only 2 new pieces are mentioned and they are fairly modern songs that are easily googled if you don't know them.

Skyler's prep for The 45th Annual Gala of Tiresias continues and he has to make a decision about how seriously he is going to take his prep work. Thank you again for all the comments, reviews and even the emails regarding this story. Please continue to offer your opinions. It's always great to hear from all of you!

Skyler has to make some decisions - should he resist his transformation or should he go all in to try to win The Gala? Thank you for all the reviews and comments. I did understand that using a real life political issue would not agree with everyone. I'm sorry if my point of view veers from yours, but that is the nature of political discussion. At times, we must just agree to disagree. Please continue to leave comments and reviews! I truly appreciate it and it's awfully nice to be back here with you all again.

The slope becomes more slippery as Skyler slides inextricably towards femininity. Thank you so much for all the reviews and the 'welcome back' messages. It's nice to have completed a story after six months of writing and rewriting. As always, I love reading your comments - both positive and negative. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Skyler finds himself in an awkward situation and, because the situation could lead to a huge scholarship, all the women in his life seem to want to keep him in that situation. As I have done in a previous story, there are links posted at the end of each chapter that will bring you to a YouTube version of the music mentioned. There's only one link for this chapter, but there will be more as the story progresses. Please feel free to leave comments! A QUICK NOTE: This was a long and somewhat challenging story for me, AND it was written during the most busy, exhausting and frustrating six months of my life. I hope it appeals to you. If it doesn't, that's cool, too, but regardless, it was my link to sanity during a tough time.

Why is this a day late? I have no idea! I must have messed up the up-load some how. I am sorry, but MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE everyone! Whether you observe or not, it's still Christmas Eve. So, to the synopsis: Now what? Deedee had found her true self and that had led to friends, love and happiness, but the pettiness of a rich rival had torn that all away. So what happens when her friends and classmates find out she's not 'really' a girl. What happens when Willie finds out? Will it matter if Dr Martin loses her position at Greenwood Academy, anyway? Let's find out.

Things get better, things get worse, things get so much better and then things get so, so, so, so much worse. I do appreciate the comments, I really do. I am truly happy that so many people are enjoying the story. It's a pretty busy week, I know and I appreciate you giving me a little of your time. Happy Chanukah, Good Kwanza and Merry Christmas.

Five weeks into his time at Greenwood Academy, four weeks into the school musical, lots of new friends, a new found appreciation for all things girlish, a sweet boy who likes him... what could go wrong? Well... lots, apparently. Let's see how Deedee copes with some adversity in this installment. Thank you all for the supportive comments! They mean the world to me! I do apologize for leaving the number off of the third installment. Oops. My mistake. Happy holidays, all!

A movie with a group of friends, including boys, a very special boy at that, an audition and an enemy. It's everything a teenaged girl could ask for.Thank you so much for all of the reviews. I am very happy that so many people are enjoying the story so far.

In part two, Dean, with the help of his classmates, Robin and Jade, explores more and more of the nuisances of girlhood. Then there's the audition for the school musical and the excursion to the movies (with boys!)... will it never end? Happy Chanukah, everyone! and thank you for all the reviews of the first installment of this story. I hope you are all well and enjoying the holiday season!!!

Dr Martin has an opportunity to become Chancellor of one of the most prestigious girl's prep schools in the country. She's starting mid-year, which causes a problem for her son, Dean. None of the nearby boys' prep schools will accept a student mid-year. So... It's only one semester, right? Just 20 weeks.

As the week continues, then comes to an end and Allie's life goes on, decisions must be made. How will Allie's life be lived? How honest will Allie be with the rest of the world?Thank you to everyone who went on this journey with Allie and me. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for all of the comments and emails as well. They really do mean the world to me. Stay well, everyone. I hope to be back quicker next time.

The week at the ski lodge in New Hampshire continues as does Alice's tutelage of Allie. Thank you for all the kind reviews. They really mean a lot! I never know if anyone will like these stories until I post them.

An insecure salesperson struggles to make ends meets. When trouble strikes, kismet intervenes.As readers of my stories know, I move slowly. So if you're looking for instant gratification, this is probably not the story for you. I hope someone likes it, though. I hope everyone is well. It's been a long haul between stories for me. Lots of family health issues, but we're all rallying now.

The game continues - as does Hunter's life. I am so, so, so happy that Hunter touched so many hearts. Thank you all for reading and for so many comments and emails. I really enjoyed these characters and I'm so happy that you did, too. Please stay well! See you all next time!

A big couple of days for Hunter. A big dance, a big game and a big talk with his dad. It's a lot for a little kid whose already going through a lot. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your comments and support. Honestly, I was afraid that this story may not connect with a lot of people. Hunter is a much younger protagonist than I ever created before. I'm so happy that he has captured your hearts the same way that he captured mine.

The big semi-formal dance looms large in Hunter's psyche as Mary Ellen tries to find him some much needed help. Once again, I am humbled by the number of supportive comments and emails. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I hope you all enjoy where this story takes us.

Thank you all for so many positive and supportive comments. I am truly thrilled that you enjoyed chapter 1. I hope that you enjoy chapter 2 as well!

Just as summer vacation begins, Hunter's family discovers that he's been hiding two very big secrets.I hope that everyone is healthy and happy in this very challenging world. Here's a little bit of sweet fluff that, hopefully, will make you feel better as the story goes on. Looking forward to your critiques.

Brook meets with his mother and then prepares to go to the homecoming dance in an elegant gown.Sadly, this is the end of the Brook/Brooke series, at least for now. I know there are a lot of aspects that could still be explored, but I have to take a break from these characters.Thank you, again, for all of the comments and emails I've received about this series. I truly appreciate all the support. Please stay well. As for me, I am currently battling my 3rd round of COVID. Nothing too horrible this time, but I do wonder how many vaccines I will need before I no longer get this freaking virus. Oh, well... I'll be back with another story at some point. Until then, TTFN.

Brook finds that the majority of his classmates barely take notice of his decision to present as a girl, but there are still those who will pick on him just to feel superior.

I hope you enjoy the next few chapters of Brook's life. Please let me know what you think and how you are. Stay well. This isn't over.

Brook moves forward to heal his family and establish his new life. This is the last installment of THIS PART of Brook's story, but as soon as he tells me more of his tale, I will share it with you. It won't be too long.Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the comments and support you have shared over the last few days as this story posted. It is so wonderful to hear from so many of you.

I am so happy that so many of you are enjoying the story. This has been a very tough week here. COVID is back with a vengeance and bringing so much illness, isolation and stress. Please, please, please take care of yourselves!

A suitor and a trip to the doctor's office keep Stevie on edge. Thank you again for the comments and reviews. Once again, I am a wordy writer, so only read if words are something you enjoy. Also, if you complain that you don't understand a character's motivation while also admitting you skipped parts of the story, then... never mind. I hope you're all remaining well. These are such stressful times. God bless.

Stevie finds himself exploring more and more of his feminine side as he settles into his sister's home and begins caring for her family. Thank you to everyone who commented on the first installment. I do love knowing that you are all well and hearing from you. I appreciate your support. A word or warning, though - I do try to explore the feelings, emotions and motivations of my characters and that requires using words. So please be forewarned, if you don't like wordy stories, there are a lot of great really short stories on FM for your reading pleasure.

Stevie needs to move in with his sister and brother-in-law. That's when they all start noticing that something's not right.

Against his better judgement, a man gives his wife a very feminine piece of lingerie for their anniversary. She does not appreciate the gesture and makes an offer that he takes her up on.I am trying something different. I know that I can sometimes be irritating to my readers because I take a week to ten days between chapters. This time, I've written the whole thing in advance and I will be posting chapters on consecutive days until it is complete. The upside is that readers will get the story faster. The downside is that reader feedback will not help my writing. Let's see how it goes. Please respond with comments, anyway. I really do like to see how I am doing.

In this, the story finale, Quinn needs more help than he can imagine and finds more than he ever expected.I cannot thank you all enough for sticking with this series.

Each has their own struggles as they try to figure out what is best for themselves.Thank you, as always, for all of your reviews and comments, both positive and negative. I truly appreciate them.

Really, that's all that we all want, I think.
