Author has written 13 stories for In Plain Sight.

First and foremost, I absolutely love In Plain Sight with just about every fiber of my being. My other entertainment pleasures include: Friends, Frasier, Mad About You, and The West Wing. I am also a huge fan of elite gymnastics.

I love kids, and due to this, almost all of my stories will have Mary pregnant or dealing with some baby in some way. I don't write fan-fiction because I think the show is terrible and feel I need to fix it; the writers and the creators do more with it than I feel I ever could. My scenarios mostly come from things I think would be fun or interesting to see. Five of my stories all exist in the same universe, which I refer to as 'The Sam Saga.' They start mid-season-four and go forward. Those would be, from earliest to most recent in case you don't want to go digging around:

- Look to the Sky

- The Girl You Are

- My Way Home

- Needing A Chance

- Downy Feathers

Three other stories also exist in the same universe, affectionately called, 'The Holiday Series.' They start almost immediately post-finale and go forward. They are, from earliest to most recent:

- Independence Day

- By Thanksgiving

- Every February

Other than that, 'Collide' is a stand-alone (and my first IPS story, so be kind,) that I wrote before the series ended, when it was on hiatus between seasons four and five. 'Inseparable' is a 'fic-lette' or mini story, and 'Over and Airwaves' as well as 'Glowing Embers' are stand-alones. 'Over the Airwaves' is post-finale, but 'Glowing Embers' is mid-to-late season four.

That's about all there is to me. Along with the fan-fiction, I enjoy making fan videos and creating banners/blends.
