Author has written 43 stories for Gladiator, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, King’s Blades, Doctor Who, SeaQuest, and Tudors.

About Me (in short): I am a lieutenant in the US Navy. As such, my writing gets spotty at times--but I do not stop writing.

About My Stories: I've written in many fandoms, but my current fixation is Doctor Who and (because I can't seem to get away from it) Harry Potter.

My newest story is War By The Numbers, the titular story for a series on the Last Great Time War that I am writing. It will feature the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th Doctors in the main, with important parts going to Rose Tyler, Amy Pond, Rory Williams, Romana, the Valeyard, the half-human Doctor (10.5), and of course, Rassilon. Not to mention loads of Daleks and my own personal favorite, the Dopplegangers. The 'official summary' is:

War By The Numbers: When something twinges the Eleventh Doctor's memory, he begins to realize that everything he remembers about Amy and Rory is wrong...and so are years worth of his memories. Nothing ads up, and he finds he still has a part left to play in the war he thought he'd finally left behind. Here is the story of the Last Great Time War. Everything that was, everything that is, everything that must not be: a Time War in every sense of the words, death and destruction and loss in a non-linear form.

That said, many of you know me mostly from the Unbroken Universe, or "UU". If you're a late comer to my stories, the UU is an AU that begins when Sirius becomes James and Lily Potter’s Secret Keeper, inadvertently changing everything. We begin in 1991, as Harry’s first year at Hogwarts begins, but this is not a simple rewrite of canon. The UU is a completely different set of events that illustrates how many changes can take place when the world has been at war for twenty years…and that one choice can change everything. What makes the UU different? At the end, it is a story of friendship. Of four friends who could have faced anything, so long as they stood together. In canon, we see the “Marauders” break apart. In the UU, we see them come together. This is not Harry Potter’s story, though Harry plays an important role. It is the story of four friends.

Below is the suggested reading order for the main stories of the Unbroken Universe. The oneshots can be read in almost any order, though I suggest reading those in the order they were originally posted. If you are interested in learning more about the UU, please check out the link to my homepage; it leads to the Unbroken Universe Yahoo Group, where you can find multimedia, snippits, and more relating to the stories.

0. Promises Honored (in progress)

1. Promises Unbroken
2. Promises Remembered
3. Promises Defended

What else am I working on? Well, the answer to that question is never simple. I am (always!) working on a story in my own original universe, tentatively titled Night Rider and promising to become (as usual) much larger than I’ve ever intended. In fanfiction, I am also sporatically writing an AU based in The King’s Blades, by Dave Duncan (a marvelous series if you’ve never read it), entitled Harvest Rebound. The first few chapters are posted, and the story is ongoing. In the UU, I am working on Promises Honored, the prequel to the trilogy, which tells the story of Sirius' years in Azkaban and the middle years of the war. Sailor Sol, Telepwen and I are also still working on Promises Mistaken, the Alternate Unbroken Universe story, though it is somewhat on hiatius (it is posted here under the username of "the SARS Entity"). Please check back often and feel free to contact me if you want!
