Author has written 15 stories for CSI: Miami, NYPD Blue, NCIS, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, and Mentalist.

If you're reading this, I guess you either like my stories or, like me most of the time, are distracting yourself from real life and actual work. Either is good.

For anyone wondering over the pen name, Lakshimbai was a 19th century Indian maharani who led a rebellion against the British Empire. She lost, but hey...from what I read, she seemed like a rather funky character.

As you can probably tell, I have a minor (all right, major) obsession with CSI Miami, and this has led to way too many plot bunnies, which in the end threatened to overwhelm me unless I started writing them down. So look out for plenty more stories in which Horatio inevitably gets the bad guy, after ridiculous situations that only he would manage to get himself into. I love the guy, but really, Bruckheimer and co need to give him a break.

I also love NCIS, although I read more fics than I write for this fandom. I'm branching out into NCIS at the moment, and, if it goes well, may even write some more. And I will follow tradition on this site, and make sure Tony gets hurt. I wonder why we all seem to enjoy injuring Tony? It couldn't possibly be some deep-seated desire to be the one to nurse him back to health now, could it?

My aim, one day, is to actually have the courage to attempt some Discworld or Wheel of Time fanfiction. I adore both of these series with a passion that annoys my friends and worries my family. However, both are so brilliant, in their own very different ways, that I feel far too daunted to write any fics myself. I bow down to those who have the courage to write stories here, after all imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so we are told.

One final thought: reviews make me happy. Deliriously so. So, please let me know what you think, if you read anything by me.
