Author has written 19 stories for Sherlock Holmes, StarTrek: The Original Series, and Sherlock.

Greetings,

Hope you enjoy my stories and if you're new here, do check out my favourite authors and stories lists; there are several excellent authors on this site :)

I'm a registered nurse in my early 30s. I've loved Conan Doyle's SH stories for many years but never tried my hand at fanfiction till April 2009.

I may be found on LiveJournal and watsons_woes as med_cat.

Avatar made by KCS--check out her excellent stories on this site if you haven't already :)

Some of my favorite quotations:

"I don't like work--no man does--but I like what is in work--the chance to find yourself."

(Joseph Conrad)

"Grant me, O Lord, a sunny mind,

Thy windy will to bear!"

(Emily Dickinson)

"If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?"

(Hillel)

And what quotation list could be complete without Shakespeare and the Bible?

"I can easier tell twenty what were good to be done than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching."

(Portia to Nerissa in The Merchant of Venice)

"Faith, hope, and love; and the greatest of these is love."

And the third most-quoted author in English (after Shakespeare and Bible):

"Let such teach others as themselves excel,

And censure freely who have written well."

(Alexander Pope, "Essay on Criticism")

And these to finish:

"A long life isn't good enough, but a good life is long enough"

and

"The two most important words: Thank you"

(Rabbi Jungreis)
