Author has written 35 stories for Terra Nova.

Hey there - Jen here, long-time fanfic reader, but just started writing it. I’ve written several original short stories and a novel (none published, but here’s hoping for the future!), and I’ve read fanfic for years – but never was inspired to write my own. For some reason, BAMF (Terra Nova Wash/Taylor) inspires me.

The short story re: me, attorney, just back to work after my maternity leave - most of my stories were written then, during naptimes and such! I've been publishing them only on Live Journal, so I'm now coming back here and adding them, pretty much in the same order I published them on LJ.

I've only written for Terra Nova, but I love to read FF for Stargate Atlantis, NCIS, Criminal Minds and Hawaii 5-0, to name a few.

I was asked to provide a timeline for the stories, as they aren't published in chronological order. All of my stories EXCEPT Who We Were are in the same universe - so this is my attempt at putting them into chronological order.
