I found out yesterday that Wes Boyd, who wrote The Girl in the Mirror, amongst many other novels, died on 8 March, 2018.
His daughter and son-in-law plan to maintain his website, and continue posting his finished work until it's all posted; apparently there are eight more books after the one currently posting.
All proceeds from the sales of his works will go to help support his widow.
With the permission of The Professor, I created an omnibus collection of his Ovid stories, and uploaded them to the Internet Archive. The files are in .ePub, .awz3, .mobi, and .pdx. I'll be looking into what would be involved in making them available via the Nook and Kindle stores as free eBooks. I'm open to suggestions as to other eBook distribution sites that might be likely to be visited by readers of transformation fiction.
It's been a while since I've been able to find it, but at one time there was an alphabetical list of stories on this site, a vast multipage listing that listed everything, by chapter (yes, skipping past Bike took forever). What happened to it? Too resource hogging? It was handy if one remembered the title, but couldn't remember the author. It was also nice for just browsing.
I'm not hallucinating, right? Does anyone else remember this as being here?
While searching for Mills College web site to inform them of the death of my mother, who graduated from there in the 1940s, I came across this article. Mills is a progressive woman's college, yes indeedy.
I just finished reading Wes Boyd's The Girl in the Mirror, and was very impressed. While not trans myself, it struck me as being a very good novel following a trans girl through her late adolescence, RLT, and following on post-op. Very sympathetic, very well written. I heartily recommend it to all of you.
My understanding from Kristin Darken is that Bob was hosting sites for a lot more than just the TG community. The following is the post I made on the Crystal Hall, which may be pertinent to the BCTS/TG Server/Site Rescue Taskforce.
If the servers for the non-TG sites are on physically distinct machines from "our" sites, our (narrow vision) end of things would be relatively easy, just get "our" machine(s) moved elsewhere.
