Happy 2026!
It is our 30th anniversary here at Space Dock 13!
On the web since 1996!
You have encountered an extremely old website that continues to exist in old web ways, the same way it has done for now three decades.
In spite of being now 30 years old this year, started in 1996, it is still heavily active and old pages updated daily, new pages added daily, still now in 2026. All hand written, all hand coded (no AI), all by me, same as it ever was.
We Still Exist: The Old Web Did Not Go Away, You Just Forgot How To Find Us
|
This site was NOT designed for mobile devices (as they had not been invented yet when I created it) thus this site looks best on a computer, at 1280x768 or above. |
This is a very old website created in 1996, so, yes, javascript is needed for the site to work as it should. If things don't function, you may need to update javascript drivers on your device |
This site tries to be mobile friendly but it's been online since 1996, so old pages may not load right on mobile devices, and as this site has had pages added near daily for 30 years there are now over 20k pages here. |
Having started out in life as a GeoCities site, this site contains glitter, bright colours, blinkies, moving gifs, and other things the old web was known for. |

Update Sept 3, 2026:
I am able to get around enough to take Koko to dog park... today is 29 days since getting out of hospital. My diet is still mostly liquid, but im eating some solid food again, but its like rice or soft mushy baby food type stuff because I still can not chew yet, though I can swallow again. My jaw is still not functioning good so im having trouble talking still. So there's been slight improvement to my mouth, throat, and jaw, but, zero improvement to my eye, which is a major concern, be Im almost fully blind right now. im legally blind since birth in my left eye, so I have no ability to fall back on using my left eye. My right eye is the one injured and my vision in it is "40% decreased" according to my doctor, but it wasn't good vision to begin with, and right now my right eye is not much different from my legally blind left eye. Which I why I have to have someone drive my car for me instead of me driving my car myself right now, which is very frustrating, because, being a female, I had to fight for over twenty years to be allowed to drive. I started sneaking out at age 31 and dressing as a man to go to Old Orchard Beach high school to get a ged, because us females are not allowed to go to school. And i was 37 years old when snuck out to the DMV and got a driver's permit and started going to college. I was 42 and 8 months pregnant when my family found out I was going to college and thats when I was punished by the backhoe driving over my house and my spine broken with a golf club and my baby born right then and killed with same golf club. So it's very frustrating now, so soon after finally being able to drive , to now not be able to drive because of an eye injury, especially after 14 years of being paralyzed from the golf club and not being allowed to have a wheelchair, again, because i am female and we females are simply not allowed to do anything. I hate the culture I was born into. I wish I had the freedom to go to school and drive a car the way American women do. I wish having my spine broken with a golf club and my baby killed with a golf club and a backhoe driven over my house was not how men in my family punishment women in my family for learning to read and write. Its so frustrating not being able to to drive again, so soon after 14 years being paralyzed, and being paralyzed by the golf club was the punishment for getting a driver's license back in 2013 after 30 years of men not letting me have one. I hate my family's culture and how they treat us women.
I get so sick of Americans telling me how they wish they could be a Gypsy… they are either misogynist woman hating pigs, or delusional idiots who haven't got a clue how shittily we Gypsy women are treated by Gypsy men, because no one in their righ mind who knows anything about Gypsy culture would ever want to be part of it. I hate that I was born a Gypsy.

"You would not make a good teacher"... what does that mean, and why are there so many people on Railroad Ave and Western Ave and Cutts St why walk up to me and say that to me?
I find it very confusing. I have low functioning Autism (the Rain Man type) and so i have very little understanding of words beyond the basic ones, and i never went to to school, so I never learned maths or sciences, and I only had remedial classes at Southern Maine Community College, because I did not have an education to enroll with regular, I was there taking every reading and writing class they had to learn how to read and write, and also took speaking classes to learn how to talk (i spoke Shetland Scottish language because that was language my grandmother spoke but she died when I was 8 so I only knew that language to speak and write, and I was 37 when I went to college and 42 when I learned English speaking and I still cant speak English good yet), all the other classes I took were art painting and cooking.
So the phrase "You would not make a good teacher" makes no sense to me because it seems to imply that I am trying to be a teacher, but I don't have anything close to the education ti be a teacher, and im not trying to be a teacher. So I don't know why people keep saying this phrase to me and I assume it must have some sort of a slang meaning, but I can't figure out what it could be of why do these people keep saying it to me.

update Sept 15, 2026:
I have some slight movement in some my fingers again again after over a decade being paralyzed
you remember how I used to be a professional doll making, pattern designer, and embroiderer, back before I became paralized and before my son was murdered and being the backhoe drove over my house?
all my equipment, sewing machines, ect were all destroyed by the backhoe driving over my house, and I have been quardepelegic for over a decade because of it so could not use my hands to sew or draw or embroider, and so only continued to do my writing of novels since then because I could do that with dragon dictation software,
well, since 2016, I been playing Witcher 3 and don't starve video games on twitch livestream, one hand two fingers, as part of my therapy to regain nerve and muscle use of my fingers, and now after 10 years of that, I have somewhat more movement in my fingers and im thinking maybe I can try to do embroidery and doll making again, but not sure, anyways, now im rebuying all of my sewing and embroidery equipment that the backhoe destroyed when it drove over my house, and hopefully I can use my hand enough to embroider again.
waiting for stuff to arrive in mail, so soon I should find out if ten years of twitch gaming has given me enough muscle strength to use my fingers to embroider again.
update to the previous video, answering viewer question about lack of hospital vs broken spine
Wheelchair Fundraiser... I need to upgrade to a power wheelchair, the manual one just isn't enough anymore. But the power wheelchair is $25k. Yes, twenty five thousand dollars. Wtf? I can get a car for a quarter that price, why are wheelchairs so damned expensive? That's more money then I make in five years, so I need to start a fundraiser for it.
Write more books
Was on Reddit today. And found two questions to warrant one answer. Here they are.
Why is the answer to the great mystery of self-promotion always "write more books" how does writing more books work as self-promotion?

Why is the answer to the great mystery of self-promotion always "write more books" how does writing more books work as self-promotion?
I've noticed that whenever someone who is new here (including myself) asks about how to promote your book... many of the answers always say "write more books."
Now I don't know how it is for the more experienced writers here, but for me at least, producing even a single book, takes several months, even a couple of years.
So how is that exactly supposed to work for promoting your previous work?
Sometimes, it feels like this is a dismissive statement to get newbies to stop talking about their sales woes.
But I digress. I want to learn. Why is "write more books" given as advice ?

I wrote a romance novella and it doesn't have a sale or single kenp read after a week

>I wrote a romance novella and it doesn't have a sale or single kenp read after a week
I have one sold copy that came from a family member. Nothing else. Is this normal? Have I really screwed up? first book. Just hit publish with no marketing. Priced at 2.99 for 28000 words.
Some things to consider here:
It’s your first book.
It’s 28k words.
There is no marketing.
It's only been a week.
Stop, take a deep breath, and carefully look at that list there and see if you can not figure out for yourself why you have no sales.
It’s your first book.
It’s 28k words.
There is no marketing.
It's only been a week.
Can you not see how these things which you yourself have listed off, are self explanatory?
Quaraun and Lich King Gwallmaiic aka BoomFuzzy the Unicorn (humanoid form)If you can not see the answer, I shall explain what I mean.
It’s your first book: You have no proven track record. No fan base. No previous releases. No one looking forward to your book, because they have not yet read your previous book, because you have no previous book.
It’s 28k words: It is very, very, very rare for any Romance story to be under 80k words. 80k words is the industry standard used by Harlequin, Kensington, Avon, Signet, and all the other big publishing houses who specialize in Romance. Most of these publishing houses state they want you to stay as close to 82k to 83k words as possible, adding that they will look at nothing under 79k and nothing over 85k. They are THAT adamant that you stay at 80k words.
Your 28k words SCREAMS to readers that you not only do not know the genre, but you also did not bother to make even the slightest attempt to research the genre.
And that’s a huge red flag for Romance readers are very vocal in their vehement hatred of writers who ARE NOT AVID READERS of Romance.
The fact is, you have shown Romance readers that you DO NOT know the genre, can’t be bothered to reach to expected word count of the genre, and don’t give a rats ass about reader expectations.
Simply put: readers look at your word count, know you know nothing of the genre’s expected word count, which leads them to think you also do not know the beats or tropes readers expect in the genre either.
Is it possible to sell 28k word Romance? Yes. But only if you are well read in Romance of that word count and know what readers of that word count expect to see.
Is it possible to sell 28k word Romance if it is your first book? Not likely. If you pay careful attention to the authors who are big sellers in this word count in Romance, they usually have 20 to 30 novels of 80k words each, BEFORE they start publishing the 20k to 30k novella length books. Meaning, they already had a really big fan base before they started publishing novellas.
There is no marketing: While it IS possible to sell books without marketing, it’s rare and highly improbable that a first book will do it. Most of the biggest sellers in any genre, are also the biggest spenders in marketing. They are usually people who have an extra monthly $10k to $30k in spare chance laying around, allowing them to buy $10k to $30k in ads each month.
It's only been a week: Publishing is about long-term sales, not immediate sales. This is why your goal should always be HOW MANY BOOKS CAN YOU PUBLISH PER YEAR/MONTH.
Self publishing isn’t really geared for people who take several years to write one book, this is a very harsh but true reality that most new writers do not want to see or accept. They always think they will be the one hit wonder exception who will sell millions with only one book published.
I'm one of the top sellers in my niche, because I've literally FLOODED the niche so much, that it's kind of difficult to ever get done scrolling through my books enough to find books by any other author.
Since 2010 I have published 138 novels (150k to 175k words each), 423 novellas (20k to 75k words each), and over 2k short stories (7k to 18k words each). I publish a new title about every TEN DAYS, around 40 new titles a year. All titles for ONE series following ONE character's life. EVERY title is a standalone. EVERY title can be read first, last, or in whatever order you want, because there are no continues, no parts, no one plot to follow forever.
I also had multiple dozen novels published before I started writing novellas.
And, I also started publishing in 1978. Yes, five decades ago. That means, I was traditionally published for three decades before I started self publishing and I brought a fan base with me. I did not start out self publishing as a no name newbie, nor did I start out with novellas.
Yes. I did.
But it was in 2014, when there were still fewer than two thousand self published authors on Kindle. It was not my first book, I had DOZENS of traditionally published novels, dozens of traditionally published novellas, and HUNDREDS of traditionally published in print magazine short stories. And I bought a $2k 24hour ad on BookBub. And the book was not a novella, it was a 157k word novel. And it was not the only book of it’s set. There are HUNDREDS of titles in the series.
Readers get hung up on the character, fall in love with him, then want to read everything featuring him, and, well, with over 2,500+ titles to choose from, they can literally jus keep coming back every week to buy more of my books, never run out of new books to buy and, never need to look for any other author in my niche, because they got plenty to read by me.
Learn touch typing, teach yourself to type 100+ words a minute (that's over 5k words an hour), I type 10k to 20k words DAILY, so, its very EASY for me to publish a new 30k to 50k word novella EVERY WEEK.
...and if you can't publish MINIMUM four books a year, you REALLY should not try to do KDP self-publishing as a money making career, because you will never keep up with those of us who put out books monthly or weekly.
Without seeing your book, without knowing its cover art or plot or title, it’s obvious why there are no sales.
It’s your first book.
It’s 28k words.
There is no marketing.
It's only been a week.
The solution is:
Write more.
Match the reader expectations for the genre better.
Start marketing.
Give it more time.
Those who do this for a living. How?

Those who do this for a living. How?
Hi all.
I have been self publishing for nearly 2 years. I published my first short story in June of 2022. Since then, I have published more short stories, a novella and a novel. The short stories are in erotica, and the novella and novel are in romance.
I feel like I must be doing something incredibly wrong. With the results I have made so far from KDP, I feel like they are low. As of writing this post, I have earned £25.50 That's how much I have made from self publishing for nearly 2 years. I know there are likely others who have been publishing for the same length of time as me or longer, and may have published more books, so I know I am likely not the only one in this situation. It's just with the genres and niches I write in, I thought I would have reached a higher amount. Nothing crazy like a grand, but say something close to £400.
I would like to be a self published author for a living. It is my dream job. I know that is the case for many of us here. But for me now, being self employed as a author, has gone from being a dream job, to something I most achieve. Like a new year's resolution or a goal in life, I am determined to reach this goal, and I am frustrated that I am nowhere close to write for a living.
What makes me feel more disappointed with myself, is seeing my books tank immediately after release. In January, I published my first full length novel. It has 8 pre-order, and once it released, it has earned like 2 sales. It did get a lot of pages read through kindle unlimited, but even that has tanked. Same goes for my erotica books. They make a few pounds during the first few days or week, and then after that, they tank as well. It's just so frustrating to see it.
A big part of why I know I must be doing something wrong, is that I see other posts or comments here on Reddit or elsewhere online, about someone self publishing their first book and reaching 350,000 pages read via Kindle Unlimited within a month, or someone published their third erotica short story, and has made $3000 in two months.
I will try to get out of this mentality of comparing my success with others. But, a part of that isn't necessary to compare them against me, it is also wondering what they are doing that I am not. How are they reaching higher levels of success with one book, that my 13 books in total haven't done?
For my romance books, which there are only 2 right now, I would say the covers are good and garner attention. They were both made by GetCovers. For my erotica covers, some I have made myself, others I hired cover artists. The ones by the cover artist are great and definitely garner attention. Funnily enough though, the book I made my own cover for, was one of my better performing books for some time.
The blurbs for the romance books I do think are good. Especially for my novel. Now, I would say that for the erotica books, I do find myself struggling writing good blurbs. I have posted on the critique thread on the erotica sub, and I will be doing that again this Thursday for my recent book.
Now as for the writing itself. I have received mostly positive feedback for my erotica books. I even have a few 5 stars. For my first romance book, the novella. I did receive mixed results upon release. I have gotten a few four stars and one 5 star since then. My romance novell has received a more positive rating nd good feedback upon release, compared to my novella.
I do think my issue is marketing and ads. Also keywords. I am terrible with keywords. Well, I think I am, even though I use Publisher Rocket to help me discover relevant keywords.
How niche can I get? Can I share my niches with you in a DM?
I do think some of my earlier erotica books are tame by comparison to what is out there on the market. But my more recent books are more raunchy and niche driven, and yet the results are near enough the same as the books that are more tame.
I understand, but unfortunately the niche I am writing in now, doesn't have its own category. So I just had to select regular basic erotica categories like, erotica, BDSM and suspenseful erotica. These are generic erotica categories, but unfortunately, Amazon doesn't have a wide range of sub categories for erotica.
I do mention the niche in my keywords, but that doesn't seem to help. Also, it doesn't change the category. Even with mentioning the niche in the keywords, the book is still swimming in the ocean of other books in the generic erotica categories.
I have not heard of erotica authors promoting on OF and Twitch. TikTok, yes. I have heard of some marketing their books on that app.
Some of the covers for my books are professionally made. I do not hire an editor. For romance, I will at some point. For erotica, most likely not. Many erotica writers seem to do fine without an editor.
I wasn't sure if Facebook ads would allow erotica others to market their books.
How do you advertise through Google?
I do market my books across social media platforms. As for ads, I haven't done any. I have no clue how to start with them and budget money for them. Also, I could only do ads for my romance books. I can't do ads for my erotica books, at least not on Amazon anyway.
But how are authors of erotica making a lot of money from their books, when erotica books are not eligible for ads?
I am also communicating with other authors across various social media platforms. It is helpful and the support is nice from them.
I market my books across social media platforms. I do not have my own website. Part of the reason being is that I make my books available through Kindle Unlimited, so I of course can't sell ebooks anywhere else, so there is no point in me making my own website. If I had more print books to sell, then I would create my own author website. Recent experiences have me second guessing if KU is worth it for erotica. For romance, it is still too good. So many romance readers go through books with kindle unlimited.
I am writing a lot, but man, I feel discouraged from writing sometimes when I see my latest book that I spent hours on and paid for a great looking cover for it, only to make pennies within the first week or so.
I don't make posts everyday for a book. For a book that I have just published, I will post something about it everyday for nearly a week or so, after that, not so much
As long as I can make around £20k a year, I would be happy. There must be some people doing this for a living, as some authors have told me they do so, and based on their output, I believe them. These authors pump out books left and right, so they surely don't have a regular job to be at.
Even for the time being, 10k would be fine. If I can reach 10k, I know I could go higher than that.
I am venting at this point, but my goal with this post is to hopefully receive feedback on what I may be doing doing, and what I should work on and improve.
I am absolutely sure that I am messing up big time with keywords. I got Publisher Rocket a few months ago, and while that may have helped a little, I don't think it has been the saving grace it has for other authors.
Can I share my keywords for one of my books here or in DMs?
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
>Those who do this for a living. How?
>I have been self publishing for nearly 2 years. I published my first short story in June of 2022. Since then, I have published more short stories, a novella and a novel. The short stories are in erotica, and the novella and novel are in romance.
So, you only have ONE novel? There’s your problem right there.
Short stories do not sell, neither do novellas. Novels are the big sellers.
Write your next book is the best way to get more sales. But write your next book means write your next NOVEL, not your next novella, not your next short story.
People always point to me and say “But you sold ten million books and your write primarily novellas and short stories”.
Yes, I DO write primarily novellas and short stories. But MOST of my short stories have YET to reach even one thousand copies sold, and while a FEW of my novellas have crossed one thousand sales, NONE had reached 30k sales, with the highest being at 27k sales. AND I have MANY short stories and novellas that have yet to reach ONE HUNDRED sales.
I have published 423 novellas and over 2k short stories and all titles combined have YET to reach 100k sales.
People spend so much time saying “that novella and short story writer sold ten million books” that they forget one very important thing: it was NOT my novellas or short stories that got the big sales, AND those sales were largely to just TWO titles.
In addition to 423 SELF-PUBLISHED novellas and 2k TRADITIONALLY PUBLISHED IN THE 1970s short stories, I also have 138 TRADITIONALLY PUBLISHED in the 1980s novels.
I had ALREADY CROSSED: THIRTY MILLION SALES to one TRADITIONALLY published non-fiction book in 1997, DECADES before self publishing.
And the two self-published books that crossed a million sales each were Epic Length Dark Fantasy NOVELS, one at 157k words (540 pages in it’s paperback edition) and one at 175k words (750 pages in it’ paperback edition)... and here the kicker: these were self-published REPRINTS of two books that ALREADY HAD A FAN BASED and had been PREVIOUSLY TRADITIONALLY published decades earlier. They were 35th anniversary editions.
So, the two self-published books that reached a million sales, were NOT from a non name debut writer, they were NOT novellas or short stories, and they were REPREINTS of books that had been previously traditionally published 35years prior, had been out of print for twenty years…
AND…
The reason those two books were picked, was because I had put up a poll asking my fans “Which titles do you want to see reprinted for the 35th anniversary edition set?” and those were the books readers requested.
So, when those two books went live on Kindle, they sold a million+ copies each in 7 days BECAUSE there were die hard rabid fans lined up and waiting to be the first one to buy the coveted 35th anniversary rerelease of books that were out of print for 2 decades.
Far too many people look ONLY at my sales numbers without looking at WHICH titles got those sales and WHY they got the sales they did.
Another misconception people point out about my sales is this:
People like to say “She’s sells 2k books a month!”
Yes. I sell on average around 2k paperbacks, around 300 hardcovers, and around 5 (yes five) ebooks a month.
So, yes, I DO average around 2k books sold each month.
AND, if you look at my books, specifically their sales rankings, you will notice that my HIGHEST SALES RANK is 4MILLION, while the bulk of my books have a sales rank of 6million to 13million.
What does that mean?
A book with a 4million sales rank on Amazon is a book that sells around ten copies a month, while a book that sits at 10million sales rank on Amazon sells around 1 copies every 3 months.
Meaning, all my books sitting in the 10million sales rank sell around FOUR copies PER YEAR.
Let that soak in.
Not 4 copies a month, not 4 copies a week, not 4 copies a day, but 4 copies PER YEAR.
So, how exactly is it that I average around 2k books sold per month.
I have over 2,500 titles up on Amazon. And most sell fewer than 1 copy per month.
I have 2 novels that each sell 10 to 30 copies per month, 5 novels that each sell around 5 copies per month, 423 novellas that each sell 1 or 2 copies per month, and 2k short stories that each average 5 to 8 copies sold per year, and yes, do the math that comes out to around 2k copies sold per month.
But it is NOT 2k copies of one title. It is 1 to 3 copies a month each of 2k+ titles.
If I did not have 2,500+ books on Amazon, I would not be getting 2k+ sales per month.
None of my books are bestsellers. MOST of my books sell fewer than 5 copies a month. In fact the bulk of my books average just 5 copies sold PER YEAR.
There’s the reality check that most people on this sub are never going to be able to face.
I’m in the top 7% on Amazon. I’m one of the authors Amazon lists in their lists of top highest selling authors, and yet my books struggle to get 5 sales per month, per title.
I’m not one of Amazon’s top sellers because I wrote one book that sells lots of copies each week.
No.
I’m in Amazon’s top list of highest selling authors of all time, because I have TWO THOUSAND books each of which sells ONE copy per month.
MOST of my books sell fewer then TEN copies PER YEAR.
I only sell 2k copies a mont, because I have 2k titles that each sell ONE copy per month.
Next time someone tells you “write more books” but neglects to tell you why. This is why.
Because books don’t sell more then a couple of copies per month, That’s just standard average normal.
If you want to sell a lot of books, you NEED a lot of titles.
Plan on never selling more then one copy of a book per month, figure out how many books you want to sell each month, and that’s how many books you need to write.
You want to sell one hundred books a month. Great. Now all you got to do is write one hundred books.
Too many people get hung up on the number of total sales and forget to count ACROSS HOW MANY TITLES those sales are.
Yes, TWO THOUSAND books sold each month sounds great… but it is NOT two thousand sales of ONE title. It is ONE sale each of TWO THOUSAND titles.
The REASON the biggest sellers have 300 or 500 or 1k or 2k or more books in their backlog is because they NEED that many titles in order to get the sales they get, because harsh reality is MOST BOOKS sell fewer than FIVE HUNDRED copies in its lifetime.
If you sell 500 copies of ONE title, you are already in the top 1% highest selling authors.
Think on that for a while.
Let it really soak in.
If you sell 500 copies of ONE title, you are already in the top 1% highest selling authors, not just self-published, but traditionally published as well.
The people making full time incomes from writing are NOT selling huge numbers of a few titles, rather instead they are selling low numbers of HUNDREDS of titles.
You’ve been publishing since 2022. That’s barely a year.
I’ve never seen an author succeed at a full time career in anything under three years, though for most it is 5 to 6 years. And it’s not about the years, it’s about how many titles they publish. For most they did not start seeling full time incomes until after they crossed ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY titles in their backlog which usually takes 3 years to do
If you are aiming for novels, usually it takes 12 novels to do it, so again, usually 3 years, assuming you publish 4 novels a year.
For novellas plan to publish one a week for 3 years before you see a full time income.
For short stories 3 to 5 a week need to be published for three years, before a steady income starts to show up.
The TL:DR is: you have not published nearly enough titles to see steady sales yet.

Do you know who drove this backhoe over my house at 146 Portland Avenue, Old Orchard Beach, Maine on August 8, 2013? If you have any information, please give it to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 of the Portland, Maine FBI office.
My house at 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, July 4, 2013, photo taken because we had just finished building a baby room on the back. vs My house August 8, 2013, when the same group of people (yes group, the golf club woman was not alone when she attacked November 14, 2013, nor was she alone with her second attack July 2016.) who murdered my son on November 14, 2013 at Southern Maine Community College and crippled me July 26, 2016 at scarborough WalMart,... they arrived the first time with a backhoe on August 8, 2013, that they used to drive over my house, during a time of day that I normally was home asleep... I had to work a different shift at the Waffle Cone Pizza Food Truck at George's Parking Lot by Bill's Pizza at the OBB Peir, that day, otherwise, I too would be at the bottom of a landfill, along with my house and everything I owned that was also in the house. I was 5 months pregnant at the time and have been homeless for just under 14 years, homeless ever since....
... which means it is now only a few weeks from the 14th anniversary of my son's murder. I was 8 month pregnant November 14, 2013, and a student ay SMCC, and coming out of the Buglight Lighthouse art studio after art class, when a still unidentifiedwoman wielding a golf club attacked me, severed my spine, while I was 8 months pregnant, triggered early labour, then killed my son minutes after he was born.
While accusing me of being transgender, screaming "transvestite freak" and "look at that thing, that's Ken's son in a dress"... while I was 8 months pregnant.

The backhoe driver returned November 14, 2013, armed with a golf club, used it to break my spine and smash my baby's brains out on the ground
On November 14, 2013, my son was murdered. I was 8 months pregnant, leaving my college classroom, and just getting into my car, when 3 strangers, a man and two women, armed with golf clubs leapt out from behind my car screaming "kill or be killed, kill the transvestite freaks, kill them all before they kill us! look at that thing! That is Ken's son, look at how it's dressed! kill the transvestite freaks! kill or be killed"... while the bald man and the red haired woman chanted this over and over, the blonde woman, lunged with the golf club.
She severed my spine, I am now a quadriplegic, and been paralyzed arms and legs, and in a wheelchair for 13 years now. She broke my hips, my knees, my legs, ruptured most of my discs, and shattered three of my vertebrae so bad that the shards of bone acted like glass and embedded themselves into my spinal column nerve bundle.
The attack also triggered labour.
My son was born in that parking lot, and he lived only a couple of minutes, before the deranged blonde woman, beat his head in and smashed his brains out, with the same golfclub she had just used to sever my spine and leave me crippled for the rest of my life.
Realizing that I was not transgender, and they'd just murdered a baby, the man grabbed the 2 women and forcibly dragged them away to a 4 door white pickup truck, and they left me there to die.
The FBI told me later, that a few weeks before this attack, and transwoman, had murdered a cis woman, in a parking lot, abou 20 miles away from where I was attacked. The FBI, believes that my attackers, had somehow found out I wrote transgender fiction, connecting my real name to my penname, (my father's name is in fact "Ken", and I do have a brother) and believed that I wrote transgender fiction, because I was myself transgender, even though I'm not transgender. The FBI, believes the attackers, thought I was my brother, pretending to be a woman.
The FBI investigation, into my son's murder, has dragged on for 13 years, and still now in 2026, continues on, with the FBI, still not having yet identified my attackers, and only guessing at what their motive was.
Thus we come to 2014, and the full swing change of the series I write. WHY my series, went from just a transman main character living life, to the full blown Mpreg genre series that it now is today.
Before the attack, I had a chance of having a baby. I don't know. And because I'm in America, I'm too old to adopt. You have to be under 45 years old to adopt a baby. That is the law in America. I was informed this, when we tried to adopt, now that my injuries leave me unable to get pregnant a 9th time.
Thus began my obsessively writing, my transman main character, pregnant. Always pregnant now. Every time. Every story. Stories that now fully focus on pregnancy, labour, miscarriages, babies dying, babies living, raising babies... the whole series, since 2014 has devolved into an outright baby obsession.
Meanwhile, reborn baby dolls were suggested to me by my therapist, and have also become a deeply obsessive part of my life. Because 13 years ago my son was murdered minutes after he was born, because a transphobic bigot mistook me for being transgender, I'm STILL in a wheelchair, struggling to relearn to use my arms and legs, now 13 years later, and I'm still DAILY dealing with police officers and FBI agents who while they are trying to find my son's killer, they are also daily reminding me... oh, yeah, my son was murdered, literally ripped out of my belly, by a transphobe. Who still has not been located and walks free to kill again.

I am a legally blind quadriplegic, and low verbal, I have also published 138 novels in the last 48 years. It's not as impossible as people think. The problem being blind and quadriplegic, medically have different meanings then how those two words are used medically.
Fewer than 3% of all blind people see nothing. While 97% people who are classified as fully blind are able to see up to two feet in front of them. Legally blind means I can see more then two feet in front of me but not far enough to see twenty feet in front of me. In my case I can see about eight feet.
Quadriplegic, has varying levels, it means having a damaged nerve bundle in the spinal column causing limited mobility of all 4 limbs, (in my case this was done by a women wielding a golf club, who also beat my 8 month infant's head to pulp on the parking lot tarmak, at the same time she severed my spine with the same golf club; both on November 14, 2013; the FBI investigation into my son's murder and my being crippled has gone on now for 13 years, a few weeks away from 14 years now, and the FBI has still not identified the killer or her motive). Contrary to popular misconception, quadriplegic does NOT mean ZERO movement, it means means limited movement, specifically in means unable to lift arms over head, unable to grip fingers around objects to pick them up, and unable to stand for more then 5 minutes to a time. Because there are so many thousands of nerves in each limb it is actually very rare for there to be 100% no movement, but how much, and to what extent varies by patent depending upon the specific point of injury to the spinal column.
Meaning typing is still possible for over 60% of all quadriplegics.
In my case, it was the lower spine that was severed, cutting off completly my ability to move my right leg, leaving limited feeling in my left leg, and an ability to stand but not walk, with crutches, for the first 9 years. I regained enough nerve growth in my legs by the 9th year to be able to take ten or twelve steps allowing me to get out of bed for the first time since the golf club attack; This in turn lead to me being able to start using a wheelchair, as I was able to sit upright for the first time as well.
Because the shattered vertebrae bone fragments are broken off completly and embedded into the nerve bundle just above my tailbone, doctors were saying I would never walk again, but now at 13 years, I am able to push mu wheelchair like a walker, a distance of almost a thousand steps a day. Though doctors are still doubtful I will ever walk "normally" again, I have proven them wrong, when their said 13 years ago, that I would never walk again at all.
But because of the placement of the damage to my spine, regaining hand use, was always thought possible, it was just a matter of waiting long enough for nerve regrowth, along side daily finger exercises. I was able to continue writing, after becoming quadriplegic, because I still have use of my right thumb, and 2 fore figures of my right hand. And can type 90 words per minute with those 3 fingers.
I however have no wrist strength, elbow strength, or shoulder strength, so I am not able to form a fist, or lift objects, or brush my hair, or my teeth, all thing I have to have my caretaker do. But, those things are not needed for typing. Unfortunately, my pinky and ring fingers are "nerve dead" and drag over the keyboard, and cause horrific spelling errors and typos, which are incredibly frustrating to deal with.
Unfortunately trying to edit errors myself, just makes the errors worse, because those same two fingers drag over the keyboard yet again. Prior to the golf club attack, I rarely had spelling errors; now I got more spelling errors then someone is learning English as second language. Editing is a challenge, that I've had to accept, I simply can not do myself, and I have to hire several editors to help with that.
Low verbal means sounds can still be made, sounds that software programs like Dragon can be trained to recognize and translate, and type into full words. More then half my novels were typed with this method.
I still have a long ways to go before I am anything close to being able to do the things I could do before the golf club woman beat my baby's brains out and shattered my spine. And you know what's more frustrating then how slow mu medical progression has been? The fact that it's been 13 years and the police and FBI are still coming up at dead ends as to who the woman who murdered my baby was, or why she even did it.
My son's 14th birthday is only a few weeks away, but he didn't even get to live long enough to celebrate his 1st birthday, I don't even know why. And I can't wait to regain my ability to walk again, because regaining my ability to walk, means gaining the ability to go outside and start looking for my son's murderer myself instead of sitting at home trapped in a wheelchair waiting for the police and FBI to to find her. So, writing isn't a big priority for me anymore. I only write now, as a way to exercise my hands, in between relearning to walk.
Never let a disability stop you. Plenty of writers, artists, athletes, do not let either blindness, speech impediments, or limited mobility hold then back from perusing their careers.
