I could really use some rock solid and awesome TG/TS scifi or fantasy reading material.  Any recommendations?

I've Got a Time Bomb by Sybil Lamb, available from Top Side Press (an all trans publisher). If you like Sci-fi, this book will blow your mind.

My latest works are kind of moving toward a transgender sensibility as I get settled and parse the experience of my transition with the kind of hindsight I can write about.

Currently, my books are more about the initial shock of discovering I was trans, and they do it more by way of allegory; my books are all about competing narratives of identity and reality, or about reincarnation, since both seem to really capture the mind-warping experience of a late-onset trans case. 

The only thing readers here might not like is the fact that I write most lucidly about gay male characters since I lived as a gay man for 8 years and I've only been actively transitioning for 2 years.

My latest and greatest is a science fiction story called "The Vimana Incident."  It's got elements of time slip, alternate history, reincarnation, and some classic space opera elements as well.  It begins in the West Country of England an alternate 1939 where the second world war has been pre-empted by a space race and jumps to 2606 on an off-world colony, 1153 in France, 1946 in postwar England, and 2039 in northern California.  It's been compared to Nevil Shute's work.  The protagonist is faced with a true identity not merely as himself, but as an entity reborn in continuous phases throughout time and with a universe that, like gender, is infinitely more complex than it appears.

It can be purchased here:

May I recommend "Yumori of Kasuga Hotspring (Spring of Reincarnation)".
I have written 25 fictions in the TS/TG category and I would like to recommend this one as the most touching.

Kasuga Hotspring ("Kasuga Onsen" in Japanese) is located high in the mountains in Saku, near Japan Alps mountains. It is known as "The Spring of Beauty" as the skin glows silkier after taking the bath. The story is about a "yumori" (meaning hot spring keeper in Japanese) who knows the secrets of the hidden hot springs which, when combined properly, turns an elderly person to a 20 year old youth of the opposite gender.
