Author has written 24 stories for Radio Dramas, Smallville, Burn Notice, Cape, Eureka, Shadow, Castle, Covert Affairs, Sherlock, Avengers, Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., Misc. Movies, and Once Upon a Time.

Greetings, I am the Red Fedora, avid fan of 1940s detective serials and classic noir fiction and also of the game 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego' -- hence the inspiration for my name. (and yes I do own a red fedora)

I enjoy a wide variety of shows, comics, books and genre so my stories will most likely be varied. I don't write Slash (sorry if that offends you) and will keep my ratings at T or lower as I usually write for kids productions (which won't be published here) and so I don't really think out plots above that rating. I am willing to beta stories (see my list of categories) but I don't read stories with ratings over T.

I have been a reader and reviewer of fanfiction for several years and have enjoyed the stories very much. I hope you will enjoy mine as well.

Many thanks to those who have read and reviewed my stories so far! More to come!

Ciao!

Note 1/31: To all those who have read Once Upon a Time (the Castle/OUAT crossover) - I give you permission to take the story line and run with it:) I would love to continue (and might someday) but for now my time is limited. Have fun! and thanks for your reviews!

Note 3/12: To the readers of When the Dead Walk, I haven't forgotten it and I will finish it - I promise.


1. When the Dead Walk » reviews
"And when the dead walk, the living will fill these coffins."

2. They Might Be Giants reviews
Based on the movie by the same title in which George C Scott provides a brilliant performance as Justin Playfair, a retired Manhattan judge who believes that he is Sherlock Holmes. The film leaves the audience with a rather sudden cliff-hanger. This is my humble attempt to fill in what might have happened after the screen went dark.
