Woke up at 3 in the morning and began work on putting my manuscript together. I'm going to type it all up throughout the next few weeks, so just files right now. Spent a year and a half working on this.

Already got a rough outline for a sequel, but I'll see how this does when it's done and out.

My first, and only non-fiction, book Transsexuals Walking Away, due to be published soon. It will contain stories from UK transsexuals of the 20th century, all written entirely by them. Some long, some short. More updates soon.

"The Samurai of Mount Huangshan" by Newt Leadbetter, chapter 1

It was an overcast afternoon in 16th-century China. The distant rolling of thunder echoed through the mist-shrouded mountains, a stark reminder of the tempest that loomed on the horizon.
