Author has written 46 stories for White Collar.

Sometimes I think I've spent way too many years playing in various fandoms. And after a nasty split amongst fans of a different show, I had pretty much stopped writing. But White Collar changed that. I fell in love with the 'bromance' between Peter and Neal, and from the very first epsiode I knew I was watching what is, quite possibly, the best chemistry between two actors on television today. So it's been fun trying to get under the skins of these characters, figure out who they are and what makes them tick, and put them into new adventures.

I currently live in Tucson, AZ - finally got out of the cold and snow of Minnesota! I think not having my brain (and other body parts) frozen for half of the year has been good for my creativity :-)
