"Update from the Author of the Frevven Stories"
From an August 2002 essay:
Kerwin L. Schaefer a.k.a. Kerry Lindemann-Schaefer
Karen MacLeod asked me to do an update on my life since Frevven, for those new S~G fans who have begun reading my stories, and for those of you who might remember me from years gone by.
Some folks have been asking about more Frevven stories. Sorry to disappoint you, but I've pretty much said all I have to say about him years ago. I've moved on to, and through, various other fandoms since then. About the only way I'd be likely to come back to writing more about Frevven would be if there were any interest in a professional version of his story, now that the novels are being reprinted.
In case anyone is interested in some of my more recent writings in other fandoms, they are all posted on my website at https://web.archive.org/web/20021202121946/http://www2.cconnect.net/Kerry/Default.html Along with some of my original fiction, I've also done fanfic for ALIEN NATION, KUNG FU: THE LEGEND CONTINUES, and HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS.
For those of you who have read and enjoyed the Frevven stories, or any of my other writings, I'd like to acknowledge here my debt to Jacqueline Lichtenberg, for taking the time to teach a new writer the elements of writing, most notably how to plot. Few professional authors are willing to spend the time and energy such a thing requires. S~G was the first universe to inspire me to write stories meant for other people to read, as opposed to scribbling stuff for my own eyes alone. The fanzines provided a way to place my writing in front of other people, and JL's attention and encouragement over the years gave me the courage to do this.
S~G played a very important part in my life, giving me a way to deal with issues that concerned me in a symbolic setting. It is my hope that my readers might have seen some of their own experiences and issues reflected in these stories also.

Probably the most interesting aspect of my life, however, is that I've gone through a rather unusual form of changeover.
Almost two years ago, I began identifying myself as a female-to-male transsexual.
