Thanks for the great review, ey?

Many thanks to Bene Diction Blogs on for the great review. However, to my surprise, Bene finds my series of websites to be rather like a jigsaw puzzle. Hmmmm. You know, when it started out, it was all very simple. SO to help you newbies navigate my site, here is quick overview of my web history:
In very late 1995, when the web itself was new and growing, I left AOL and joined Pipeline.com.

I had commercially published some kids adventures with a small press, but I really enjoyed Doctor Who, the old Brit Sci-fi show. So I used my web space to post Doctor Who stories I had written. That's how Always the Third Doctor got started. For years, my entire website was just Doctor Who stories.

Black belt training and memoirs
Then in 1997 I was preparing for my third degree black belt test and keeping a journal of my training and my class experiences. This writing project turned into a larger project to write my memoirs as a woman who had been in martial arts for two decades. In late 1998, I was motivated by my studies in martial arts to write to Lynn Redgrave, the actress, and offer her advice on strategy as her seemingly deranged husband (now former husband) had humiliated her several times in public. She agreed, and I wrote a series of essays for her based on Miyamoto Musashi's BOOK OF FIVE RINGS. As she benefited from these essays and never purchased them, I edited them for a general audience. I put them on line as Jeri's Martial Arts Pages and eventually added more martial arts related items, including texts of two martial arts classics.


I had also added my novel, VALKYRIES, which was huge. And I posted several essays on the Christian and the study of literature. So I referenced these on a page called The Christian Fiction Gateway. Ultimately Moody Press purchased VALKYRIES, so I had to take it down from my site, but the essays are there, as well as one or two other items.

All of these non-Doctor Who additions prompted me to make my home page more generic. ALWAYS THE THIRD DOCTOR became part of a larger site. My home web site is simply called Welcome to Jeri's Pages, and it provides links to all the other sub-sites: Doctor Who, martial arts, Christian fiction, and most recently, The Emergency Preparedness FAQS which I compiled just after 9/11.

Meanwhile, as I started doing research on abuse in Independent Fundamental Baptist religious circles and learned more and more about the KJVO movement (the King James Version is the inspired Word of God and not just a translation), I started writing about these abuses on a forum called the Fighting Fundamentalist Forum. I chose the screen name "BASSENCO". The name "BASSENCO" is a phonetic re-spelling of "BASS AND CO." As I am a confirmed fan of Bass Ale, I thought it a good choice, and not one likely to be traced back to me. I also started this blog (BLOG ON THE LILLYPAD) to discuss all things Christian in my life but especially the unaddressed and uncorrected abuses in IFB Fundamentalism.

In August of 2003, inspired by James Spurgeon's hilarious TALES FROM THE TEMPLE, I started the SECRET RADIO blog. I wanted to tell the story of corruption from the girls' side of the story. I used a pen name, Grace Jovian, to shield myself from the personal attacks that would surely follow if I used my own name. I wanted SECRET RADIO to be read before I let the IFB preachers get their knives out and attack me (and believe me, they have attacked me!).

As you know, a blog is read with the latest post first, and the reader moves backwards from today's post to yesterday's, to the day before's etc. So I also posted the SECRET RADIO ARCHIVE (updated weekly), which posts the story in normal narrative order, from the start of the story first to the most recent episodes last.

Finally, as readers asked for a bound edition of SECRET RADIO, and as I saw that the most crucial need for recovering Fundamentalists is to read solid books that teach Jesus Christ instead of IFB's nutty version of truth, I have started BASSENCO's Bookstore. This online bookstore sells books I have written or produced by and about Fundamentalism, and it also carried a selection of Amazon.com books that are especially helpful to people harmed by IFB excesses.

OK, so that's a rapid tour through my web links. Here they are in summary:
