Author has written 37 stories for Stargate: SG-1, StarTrek: The Next Generation, Sanctuary, and Doctor Who.

Just a note that my Stargate SG1 stories are centered around the Sam and Jack ship. I try to write in accord with the show's canon, at least to the point where official canon ends, but I firmly believe that as of the end of S8 Threads, Sam and Jack are together, and my work reflects this.

As for my Sanctuary and Doctor Who stories, my thanks go to jenniferjf for her beta skills and inspiration.

And for anyone who reads my Star Trek: The Next Generation novel, I wrote this because I couldn't stand the idea of Picard and Beverly separated at the end of Nemesis and wanted to put everything right in their universe. As noted, I tried to tie it to the canon of the television show and the subsequent movies and not the extended universe of the published novels, although I did incorporate some of those events into the story. Thankfully, TPTB have finally resolved this ship on their own and it is now canon. It's about time.

As always, the characters and everything are the properties of those brilliant folks who originally created them and no copyright infringement is intended. Thanks for letting us play in your worlds!
