The Girls Club (Book) - 9/16/2007 11:05:32 AM
Overall a very good story! Something unusual for a pleasant change :o) It's strange what reading a book can conjure up in your mind. I thought of my stint at Edinburgh's Royal Mail HQ office. The bitching, gossiping and competitive Chain reminded me of my fellow female workers. No wonder I left and without fear of subsequent dismemberment! I also thought of the interesting film "Secretary" where the delightfully kooky Maggie Gyllenhall plays the object of James Spader's often-tough desires. Spader represents Sarah "Sainted Twat" Steiger and Gyllenhall is everyone else! The appearance of the Chain girls made me think of the music video for a brilliant song called "The Creeps" by Camille vs Fredde Le Grand. All immaculate and power suits! The book was a interesting insight into another way of life, this being my first Gay read. I enjoyed the twists and turns of the story and Karen and Rochelle's love of each other was so strong, I felt it. The best part was having them live together safe (I hope)and happily ever after under the romantic cool mist of... Blackpool! Rock on!! Beats all the other cliched locations ;o) Thanks for the book Jax! Looking forward to the next installment, Spaz XXXXX

Sage Sweetwater endorses Jackie Coupe, peer and woman lover. I'm in the process of reading The Girls Club you sent to me, Jackie. The cover is catchy, that black and pink is HOT!
Only you could have written it this way, Jackie. I have thus far truly enjoyed the first two chapters. The highlight for me in your chosen lesbian genre is the title you chose 'The Girls Club' and the way you started out with the young ladies in their secret clubs. This fits just so well internally with the structure and growth of lesbianism. I especially like the way you incorporate the lesbian into the workplace...like this finale line, you breezed this one, Jackie...
"To go from a small British town to LA and an office full of love hungry lesbians."
These chapters are hot and also the story is literary. Many lesbian novels are lame and not worth the time to read them. Most women cannot write lesbian storylines worth a "blue fuck." I love your usage of this line. Your dialogue is strong and intended. 'The Girls Club' will have a strong presence in the lesbian community. I wish you all the best, Jackster...
Warmly,
Sage

Right, my friend, well done, you're up and running as an author - brilliant, congrats to you. By way of encouraging you, I am ordering the book - 'roit nah', as Mandy could say. I have sampled the two chapters as prescribed my my freewill, good taster, now to eat, relish and digest the rest of the meat.
Nice cover design, by the way.
Ye're awright, hen, nae bother, eh?

My dear lady, this is where I leave off with emotions that recall a same scenario, perhaps I'm even living it now...I'd be lying if I said I'm not living it right now...I'm really all too emotional to even quill a proper review...a woman that I have wanted for a very long time...if I could only have this one night you describe, perhaps I could come the way I need to...and I need too...Jackie, you write fabulously and your passion for women seers my thighs...just as it should...Blessed Be...

She was the first (Short Story) - 3/18/2007 11:03:02 AM
I have discovered throughout my life that human nature cannot be scripted; it is open for discovery, constant revision and embedding of experience contrary to so - called social norms - that in themselves are forever being deconstructed and rebuilt. Life is riven with so many textures and complexities that defies a million galaxies worth of perceived logic. We are each by any definition, unique, possessing our own DNA that for any one to have the same would require odds somewhere in the region of 3 trillion to 1. In other words, no two Lancashire toreodores are the same! Shuttup, Formby!
On a first visit to a work location, I introduced myself to a clerk. I don't know why, but as we shook hands by way of introduction he felt it necessary to tell me that he was gay. I held onto his hand, looked at him, smiled, and said 'It's better than being a miserable bastard! Is there any water in that kettle?' I see him regularly. As a Scot I time my visit to his office just as he is going for breakfast. Yes, you guessed it, he buys it - I perpetuate the stereotype uh? Got any oven bottom muffins lass?
You write honestly and in a style that keeps the tension going, thus keeping the reader's attention - who do you think you are? Me? :)

The Girls Club' first two chapters as free read (Short Story) - 3/1/2007 9:20:02 AM
Sounded autobiographical in the first chapter eg. first person narrative, then sudden switch to third person and lead character's name in the second - threw me a bit. Interesting device to use clubs as markers for Karen's journey to self - discovery, propelled further by taking the step to America. She certainly discovered herself rapidly, even comfortably without much conflict other than disliking men and losing Jess. Have I missed out a sub plot, or is their one in the making throughout the rest of the book?
I enjoyed the dialogue style, gave the narrative pace. Not sure how an all female company could survive the discrimination laws in America but then again, it's a novel.
Enlighten me further with the plot, your writing style is entertaining and captivating.

Jax, that was such a lovely thing to say! Your account of how so horribly lost you were was funny, just goes to show how any situation in life can trigger the weirdest, long-forgotten memories! Sadako-san feels like she has been permanently freed from the well, accepted, liberated! When I think of our new friendship, I think of some chicken & cheese combo - perfect and made for each other ;o)

Fantastic article! And YES, I do give a "blue fuck!" I'm from The Girls Club, remember? Look at you in the blue...you have captured also some triangular light with this bottom photo...very vaginal viewfinder and geometrically filtering the spiritual senses embedded in where it once stood, house grave and grain, black and white grain where your aperture setting and f-stops mount history, (you mount very well) and the white light in the tree picture above it is an archway to the soul, Jackie...I can pick out a perfect arch that carries me away to many fantasies of lesbian nature...your text on the history lesson is well-documented...be well dear woman...Blessed Be.
Love,

All the reasons for these industries still exist yet we import the goods from overseas. Why have they not shut down their industries? This is the negative side of the capitalist economy. Socialism is no alternative as the failure of the Soviet and Chinese examples prove. Too deep, Dai, ye're gettin' too deep!
Cry baby cry, she's old enough to know better.

For me, playing there is like a dry run, looking for a place I want to be if anything is there in the ever after.
Dont want to get stuck in a place where I can't hear children laugh, or tears of love falling on the ground.
Very well done!!!

The Blackburn Boneyard (Article) - 3/7/2007 3:06:57 PM
Y'know, Jackie, we have this in common, perhaps for different reasons, though I suspect not too far apart.
You'll have to enlighten me about the entity that is in the shot that makes you frightened to be alone.
I visit a local cemetery when I return to Scotland. There are bones in there that I knew - know. I have a poem on my page called The Gate of Silent Rest, which is about a specific grave that I visit. Death has always intrigued me especially in the knowledge that none of us are going to escape this life alive. I have lost two brothers, both while young. Peering down at your own generation as it lies still, silent, colourless and cold in a box numbs your perception. Morbid curiosity compels me to stand rooted to the spot and stare, trying to look beyond the physical into the ethereal.
Because of my connection with welfare, I have visited the 'operations room' at the crematorium in Preston (might have been Blackburn - there was a sizeable green belt), and also here in one of the London crematoriums.
There I go again, rambling...
I'll have to dig out some of my haunts to share with you.
Oh, one of them is Scheilhalion, a three thousand two hundred foot mountain in Perthshire. Why is this a fav haunt? Well, besides the spectacular view from the top - Cairngorms, Glencoe, Ben Lomond etc -my late brother's ashes are buried up there - so in a sense, it's my wee mountain top cemetery.
Now, Dai, 'Oan yer bike pal, ye're nuhin' but the dug's pish wi' awra speil yer dolin' oot te the lassie, ye ken'
'Aye, ye're right, ya bawheed that ye are, gie it a rest, eh?'

So sorrowful, so painful, to read. I feel for this angel, so close to heaven, and yet so far. This reads like human experience on the earth. We yearn for happiness and something always blocks the path.

What beautiful words you have used to describe your true feelings! Your girl will feel on top of the world reading this. I can feel the emotions you've described and it reminds me how I feel about my boy! Love is like a circle, no ending can be found.

If my life was a guitar chord (Poetry) - 6/24/2007 1:00:49 PM
I learned to play the plectrum first before I went anywhere near the full works never mind a-minor. I always fancied myself as a wandering minstrel. For the fun of it, decades ago I asked a job centre clerk if the queen was looking for a court minstrel. The lassie smiled the kind of smile you see etched out longways on the side of a battered haggis.
Have you ever tried the old elastic band between the teeth ploy? I play a mean Chopin this way.

This makes me question the already corrupt 'justice' system! Very well written and illustrates a valid point. I'll take extra care when I'm out - even during the day - and I'll remember to use my walking stick in self-defence. Mind you, I'll be the one that gets into trouble....twisted isn't it?
