I just loved 'Summer Switch'.  I guess that's every Transgirl and Transboy's dream come true.  A gentle, romantic story with a reasonably plausible plot.  OK maybe only 98% but I just enjoyed the story!

Hugs,

Susie

Another good story from one of my fave writers. I am so impressed with your creativity.  You make so many variations on a theme; and you always work to keep a familiar situation from becoming trite. When ever I see a story of yours in a list, it is the first that I download and I put it in my Jennifer White folder.  Thank you again for gifting us with your talent.

You have such a fertile and sweet imagination.

You need to work some on your mechanics to take your stories from very good to excellent.

Stories flow better with timely exposition. When you tell something too late in the story it causes the reader to pause. TG readers are very willing to suspend their disbelief, but even those gentle readers have a limit. For example, in your story it would have been better if you had told us up front about the wealth on one side of the family.

You needed to give us a plausible reason for an uncle and aunt to have never seen either their nephew or neice.

At the end you needed to give us a plausible reason for two teenagers to be allowed to live whereever they want.

Punctuation helps the reader. You need to include a commma before the attribution. As in, "I think you're wonderful," Tom said.

There is some dispute, but most writers seem to think you should always say "Tom said" instead of "said Tom". If you think of "said" as a verb you will understand why.

After a question mark it should be "asked" not "said".

Readers don't want to get bogged down in needless repetition. Tell once, rarely tell twice.

Instead of telling us how happy someone is, show us.

You have great talent. Your stories are getting better. Try reading this book. It will help.

      The importance of reader feedback cannot be overstated.   Authors rely on it to improve their future works, and it gives them the incentive to write more stories if they know that their hard work has been appreciated.  I am not saying that comments must all be lauditory.  Authors often appreciate honest, constructive criticism over simple remarks like 'Great story', although simple praise is appreciated also.  There is no limit on how much you can enter in the 'comments' box.   Sentences will automatically word wrap at the end of the line so please do not use your carriage return/enter key except at the end of your paragraphs.

      It is not necessary to use your real name here, and, email addresses are optional.  Posting your email address will allow the author to thank you for taking the time to post your comments, and/or discuss critiques and address possible concerns.
