Author has written 54 stories for MI-5/Spooks. I concentrate on writing MI5/Spooks fics. At the moment, I don't really have the time (or the inclination) to write for any other fandoms. There is also this thing called 'real life' which has a habit of getting in the way of writing, unfortunately. I'm a huge MI5/Spooks fan - it's the best drama on British TV. I'm also a huge fan of Peter Firth - a talented and rather gorgeous actor. I've always been interested in espionage/spy dramas - TV, film and books. Possibly because I got introduced to James Bond at an early age ;-) I hope you enjoy the stories I write - they tend to be predominantly Harry/Ruth so if that's not your thing, you're probably best passing on through without stopping. Comments and thoughts on what I've written are always appreciated. Thanks for reading. :) | |||||
