Hey Julie:
 
  You actually had my pulse raised and I was really worried about Ally. Ach, of course I couldn't stop reading. I was even a little surprised at what happened. This story did build a little gradually for me but I am glad as you gave my poor heart a workout. Ally is such a sweetie that I was extra worried about her. Any similarity to anyone we know?

  You did a great job Julie and I am impressed. Using your military intelligence background (or whatever it is exactly) is riveting.  I think you should get a few bottles of Merlot for this one.

Hugs,

Kristi

A excellent story, I couldn't stop reading till the finish (Got nothing else done). A nice touch was Steve Williams making a cameo. Like I said a good story, well written, hope there's a part three.

Love Karen.

Julie O - I'm a big fan of yours, reading all of your contributions.  Thanks much!

I did enjoy the story, very much as it did bring out a lot of important issues. But, I wonder why Ally Burns feels the need to go through SRS? Why not have her stay a male/female, and in that way she can take the best of both sides!
 Is it because each time she catches a scumbag, she feels that its "her," a man, and she is repulsed. That she needs to get rid of what is left of her "Manhood," so that she can be one of the others. That in so doing, she is no longer one of those "hims," as in "Get him out of my sight!"

I really enjoyed this story and the first part which I also read. I like your intermeshing of the internet team with the transgender issues of the protagonist. I find the stories where there is more than just the TG element far more satisfying and generally better literature.

You have entertained me and I thank you for these well crafted stories.

That is a great story she a real Transgender hero keep up the good work my dear

This is essentially a competent, well-written, by-the-numbers police procedural story. I enjoyed it, but it felt a bit like any number of TV cop show scripts.

Ally's transgendered nature didn't seem to be developed into a very significant element, beyond her sympathy with the victim Stacy. The profiling insights into the killer's personality and motivations came from Denise rather than Ally, so would the story have been any different if Ally had been a genetic female police officer?

Hmmm. The above sounds a bit more negative than I feel, but somehow this story seemed to lack... something.
