Author has written 19 stories for Criminal Minds, and Lie to Me. "All is a riddle, and the key to a riddle is another riddle." Ralph Waldo Emerson Hi, it's great that you're here. So, you deserve at least some random trivia about me to feed your curiosity. I love crime novels and movies/shows - especially those that take a closer look at human nature and psychological aspects. That's why Criminal Minds is among my favorite shows as well as Lie to me (always worth a re-watch; such a shame that it was cancelled). A while ago, and after having read fan fiction for ages, I gathered all my courage and de-lurked myself to post my own stories. If I had known how much fun it is to receive reviews and get in contact with other readers and writers, I would have done this much sooner. Therefore, if you are struggling with the same decision - take a leap in the dark. It is worth the effort! I absolutely loathe unfinished stories. Once I am hooked, I need to know how it ends. And that goes as well for stories I read as for my own stories. Thus, should I ever abandon one of my stories, I will at least give you a hint here so that you can loathe me. Rarely, I decide to write a sequel, but sometimes it happens: - The darkest hour & The longest night - More than a dance & From London with love Anyway, you do not necessarily have to read them in that order. They all also work as standalone stories. One more thing: Although I love to read and to write in English, it is not my first language. This is not meant as an excuse for spelling mistakes or bad grammar. I'm just saying, and I'm constantly learning. So, probably (and hopefully - otherwise, there would be no improvement at all) there are fewer mistakes in my latest stories than in my previous efforts. Thank you so much for your interest. Nothing makes me happier than your reviews and alerts. - Cee - Twitter: @solveariddle Tumblr: http: // solveariddle . tumblr . com (just remove the spaces) Disclaimer: No copyright infringement intended. | |||||
