(On going story meant to show anyone out there it's ok to be different. you are valid despite what the bigots say)
At thirteen, Will knows three things for sure: the Texas sun is brutal, their sister Lila is the only safe person in the world, and the feeling they get wearing her clothes means something they're not ready to name.
Will is a trans girl. She just doesn't know how to say it yet.
In a small town near the Texas-Oklahoma border, where "boys are boys" and being different is a sin, Will fights to survive every day while keeping the truth buried deep. But when Lila catches her sneaking into her closet again, something shifts. What begins as a protective older sister's quiet support becomes the spark of a life-changing journey.
Renaming herself Mia, she steps slowly into the light-through secret LGBTQ+ support groups, late-night talks, school hallway battles, and glitter-streaked pride parades. But when hatred crosses a line no one saw coming, Mia is forced to confront the brutal cost of visibility. With Lila, best friend Kris, and her growing found family at her side, Mia rises-scared but unbroken-and becomes a voice for those who can't yet speak.
This is a story of resilience. Of chosen family, first love, and unstoppable courage. A coming-of-age tale about what it means to fight back when the world tries to erase you, and how one girl's truth can spark a revolution.
"The girl in my reflection" is raw, beautiful, and unapologetically queer. A lifeline for anyone who's ever felt unseen-and a battle cry for those who refuse to disappear.

Waking up to a new reality
Eric was the younger of twelve year old twins, just approaching their thirteenth birthday. Although only six minutes younger than Lauren, she was clearly the alpha character when it came to sibling rivalry; she had an effervescent outgoing personality and exuded confidence in everything that she did. Eric, on the other hand, was introverted and largely lived his life in under the shadow of his sister. That was until Eric was diagnosed with a life threatening condition. Admitted to hospital for emergency life-changing surgery. Waking up a different person there was a new-found confidence and optimism that results in a metamorphosis into a life that is far from the shadows. Born out of Covid-19 lockdown, this was conceived as a light-hearted short story to counteract the doom and gloom that was resulting from the pandemic. It grew longer than expected, as I got to know Erin. The story might still be a bit rough round the edges, but I wanted to release it in time for summer vacation reading. There is no violence or hatred, just kindness and acceptance. For those that discount this as unrealistic of the real world, I counter two arguments: 1) It is a complete work of fiction. 2) My son went to Lycee (Senior secondary school) in rural France, where attitudes are generally very conservative. Despite this, there was a girl his his year, who believed she should have been a boy. HE was accepted for who he was, without prejudice. Hopefully it offers a little light reading with a happy ending. Not that the story is set in Scotland and the spelling reflects British convention, perhaps with some Scottish dialect thrown in.Complete
A Series of Embarrassing Monsters
Abandoned by the famous novelist who gave birth to her, Evangeline grows up near a disused theme park where ballet is taught from the ballroom of a crumbling castle. The teen years of a misunderstood artistic genius are tough. Early experiences quash her dreams of becoming a writer, and she only manages to earn a few crumbs of approval after she pivots to ballet. Too bad they come from her smart-ass competitor, Miskomin. On her rise from mediocrity, Evangeline is thrilled when Magda, the artistic director of a contemporary dance company in need of a sixth dancer, lays claim to the park. But things go awry as Magda attempts to rewrite Evangeline's entire world. To further complicate things, Evangeline's sporadic forays into story writing bring her inner demons to life. Literally. While contending with her monstrous off-spring; navigating an ever-shifting relationship with her frenemy, Miskomin; and adjusting to life under the power of a vampiric task-master, Evangeline gains the self-knowledge and confidence she needs to face the final boss: Herself. She must learn to look beyond the artist she wants to be and accept the person she is. *A Series of Embarrassing Monsters is a solid first draft which will eventually be replaced by a stronger, more concise manuscript.*Complete
