Why does this seem harder than giving birth?

My day job is saving the world. (I'm a little known super hero.) And then in stolen moments, I come up with fantastical ideas about imaginary people's love lives. Go figure. What a strange place the mind is.

Current obsession: Adorable short men who roll their Rs.

Gush! "All I Have to Do" won for BEST HETERO at http://deathlyhallowsawards.blogspot.com/. I made the link to the Deathly Hallows Awards page my "homepage" here. Thanks to whomever nominated the story and to all who voted. You made my day!!

New Reasons to Gush! "In Answer" and my two Edith and Anthony stories picked up awards at the Highclere Awards. http://downtonabbeyfanawards.forumup.co.uk/index.php?mforum=downtonabbeyfanawards

Go Team Edith!


1. Yes, I Will » reviews
Marcey had called him later. Of course she had. And Greg had trusted that she would. Although certainly, not just anyone would have known what those three quick flashes of her tail lights meant as she drove away.  But the flashes had said, 'Yes. I will.'

2. Vital » reviews
It was the word 'vital' that had beset him. Yes, yes, everyone who knew her considered her a vital, lively woman. But Higgins now felt that she was vital to him. A necessary, life-affirming thing that he was meant to... Mine is, most simply, a story of sudden realizations and slow declarations. Now with a new chapter far too late for Valentine's Day!

4. Rare » reviews
Can the present be something neither the past or future could? And should it? This is my Anthony. Although I love him dearly, he is prone to getting things backwards. Thinking what should be said when he should say it instead. Or, saying the wrong thing completely. But that's alright. Edith is her own woman now – or trying hard to be – and she doesn't mind driving.

7. When Half Gods Go » reviews
