I'm a forty something (I'm not going to tell you everything) IT analyst who has always been scribbling story ideas (some based on TV programs, some not) for my own entertainment. Then I discovered Fanfiction and found others who do the same.

I've been attending some short writing classes which I highly recommend for anyone wishing to improve their creative writing. I've certainly learnt that I have a few bad habits that I wasn't even aware of. I appreciate receiving feedback from my readers both positive and negative as this helps me improve my writing and lets me know when something I've tried has worked.

I'm a keen sci-fi fan and love the mythology basis of Stargate & Stargate Atlantis. Atlantis is my favourite and like most women I drool over Joe Flanigan as Col Sheppard.

I don't understand why the producers have stopped making a show that was still so popular. In my mind Weir never left and Carson did not die. I may allow Keller to play in some of my future stories but not at the expense of Carson. It is good to find others who feel the same way.

Okay what else is there to say, I'm a keen amateur photographer (a sample of my photos can be found on my home page - which you can access via my new blog, just follow my Homepage link). I am happy to receive feedback on my photos as well but please do not use them for commercial purposes as copyright is attached. If you wish to purchase a copy then you'll be glad to know that I now have an account with RedBubble where anyone can purchase a copy of my photographic work. It can be accessed via my Homepage link above.

I love bush-walking and animals, especially the big cats. My husband and I manage to combine these loves into our holidays when we get the chance which isn't as often as I would like but hey that's life. I still want to see Antartica, Galapagos Islands, Alaska and I also would love to go back to Africa.

Now for my stories. I only have one on the go on this site so far and it is slowly marching to its completion. I have started drafting a sequel to this story that is likely to be shorter. There are another couple of story ideas on the boil. So it is a race to see which is likely to be ready for posting first. Somewhere in amongst this I hope to complete the draft of my original story that I'm hoping a publisher will want to print - although I know it can be hard for first-timers to break into the market. Even Matthew Reilly had to start by self-publishing. He's an Australian author who writes very fast paced action novels mostly around a character with a call sign of Scarecrow. If you haven't read his work then you don't know what you're missing.

Anyway please read my stories, view my photos and if you like any of it at all then drop me a line. I'd love to hear from you.
