Dear G.L.,

   My god, I am completely and utterly exhausted. It took me the better part of two weeks to read your saga.  That's what it reminded me of, one of those old norse sagas.

   Let me see, there was Ian Fleming meets Robert Heinlein meets Ursula LeGuin meets Stephen Hawkings meets any one of a number of very good authors that work in the transgendered genre.  What I can't understand is why aren't you published yet?  This was a five star, ring-a-ding, avalanche of a story.  It sweeps you along in it's wake and you can't get out of the way.  You are absolutely inundated by it.

   I must confess, even though I consider myself a fairly intelligent human being, I got lost in most of the physics.  But it didn't matter,  I doubt you have too many people reading your story that have doctorates in theoretical physics or quantum mechanics.  It was still, as the English say, 'a ripping yarn'.

   Actually, the TG element quickly became an afterthought.  I mean, it was there throughout the whole of the saga but wasn't the overriding theme as we've seen in almost all the other stories on this site.  And yet, strangely enough, paradox of paradoxes, it was.

   There were one or two minor quibbles regarding spelling or punctuation or whatever.  The only one I can remember for certain is as follows.  When one is speaking of someone who is an assistant in the military or corporate sense, one is an 'aide'not an 'aid'.  I can't remember what the other one or two things were but they were so minor it doesn't matter. I gave up trying to be a proofreader a long time ago.  

   Anyway, thank you for a wonderfully stimulating story.  I hope there's more where that came from.  I'm anxiously awaiting new material.

 I am impressed - VERY impressed.  Perfect English and nigh on perfect grammar too, and a delightful story to boot.  It is rare that a dream comes true, especially the dream that was Cynthia's, and how real you made it all sound  Conratulations.

I shall wait a few days before starting on book two, I cannot imagine it can be better than book one, but we shall see.

I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful story and was sad to see it end. You did a great job developing the story in an orderly and believeable progression. I especially enjoyed your emphasis on hairdressing and the "correct" graphic descriptions of all the procedures. (I hate it when a writer says "he entered the salon and walked out 15 minutes later with a headful of newly permed curls".)The use of curlers in lovemaking was a nice touch and is something I have personal experience with. Most of all, you made the characters warm and loving.
Thanks for sharing with all of us. I can't wait to read more of your stories.

Hi George, Further to my earlier comments about the fiancee/husband/fiancee thing, I have read it again and now do understand. I'm getting on in years and am a bit slow to follow things and always too quick to criticise.
Anyway I have read all and thoroughly enjoyed.
You say that you have tried to get published. You must keep trying again and again and someone will accept your work. I used to work in the book trade and have met some authors who said that it took them years before they were published. It's worth trying!
However I do look forward to more from you as you are a terrific writer and I, for one, do appreciate much description even if others do not. I write stories, but simply for the pleasure of losing myself for a short while in the worlds I create. Maybe my stories are publishable, I don't know nor do I care. As long as I get pleasure from doing it I will continue as I hope you will.
Good luck for the future.

Pauline

I,too, have read your story in one sitting. It just leads one on. I throroughly second Pauline's comment about your good spelling and grammar. You are a pleasingly literate writer, something this former English teacher really appreciates. Your plot line is believable and your emphasis is much more on joy and happiness than on the difficulties and persecution an alternative lifestyle can engender. There's enough hatred in the world as it is, so I much prefer to dwell on the positive.

It sounds as though you have another book, dealing with the daughter the newlyweds are now expecting, in the works. I hope it will not be too long before it makes its appearance.

Wishing you well,

Wilma

Comment by Pauline on 07/21/04
Hi there, Well I have only read about half of the first volume so far and I am delighted that there are no spelling errors. Too many stories on this site have atrocious spelling. Anyway I love the story and look forward to reading the rest. Just a little confused though as to the reference to fiancee and husband then fiancee again near the beginning of first story. Read it again and am still confused! Honestly, no sarcasm intended but can you please explain to this simple person.
Secondly if you are able to write such a descriptive story why are you not doing something which can be published in the real world and make some money out of it???????

Very best wishes to your future writing

Comment by Elaine on 07/21/04
Very good story and I read it through in one sitting. It would have been better though without the long narratives. It seemed that the heroine isnt sure and then is very sure that this is what she wants but in the beginning she doesnt really resist the changes that Cynthia wants.

Comment by T-Fox on 07/21/04
Excellent story

I hope the airport security thing is based on stories you've heard, and not anecdotal (I've seen them be rude to T*s, but never that East german secret police kind of treatment)

I stopped flying a while back because of them
