I have been unable to update for several weeks due to a hand injury.
I now have a brace that allows me to use my fingers, but am only able to type for a short time
at each sitting.
Hopefully chapter 12 will be out by next weekend.
I really and truly apologize for the delay, but it couldn't be helped

Hi! I’m Signal27, Or you can call me Sig27 or even just Sig…heck, you can call me Tigz….just don’t call me before 5 a.m.

Visit me on my LJ account. My Username is the same as here. (Signal27) I would give the link, but I think outgoing links are prohibited.
but, if you were to type in say..."signal27" then put in a dot (which is actually a period) and then type in "livejournal", then put another dot then add "com" you'll find me. ;-)

About me:

I am considerably older than many of the people here on FF. I hope that doesn’t push people away. I am female I am severely hearing impaired and have been since my 20s (see, told you I was older) I have an adult son and a 13 year old daughter. (She does her writing over on WattPad) I am a straight ally of the LGBT community I rarely watch TV, But when I do, it is usually by binging on shows via Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon.

My Favorites

Movies

Excalibur – released in 1981. My favorite Arthurian Legend movie by far. (and I hate to say it but also my favorite Merlin characterization. Star Trek 4, The Voyage Home Star Wars – the original 3. The prequels were rubbish. Young Guns and the sequel Young Guns II - hey, Emilio Estevez and Kiefer Sutherland? Need I say more? Three Musketeers (Walt Disney) – Again, Kiefer, what can I say?

Singers:
Men:

Bryan Adams Sammy Hagar Collective Soul

Women:

Bonnie Raitt Melissa Etheridge Helen Reddy – yeah, that is really going back some years. LOL

The ONE SONG every woman should teach their daughter from infancy: I Am Woman (Helen Reddy) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6fHTyVmYp4
