Author has written 25 stories for Emergency, Bonanza, Big Valley, and Tour of Duty.

I'm a fan of Michael Landon, Stephen Caffrey, Michael Douglas, Lee Majors and Randolph Mantooth, so I luv shows like Bonanza, Streets Of San Francisco, Little House On The Praire, Emergency, The Big Valley and Tour Of Duty. I'm also a fan of Mod Squad. I enjoy reading the stories written by fans.

I don't own the characters portrayed in my stories. I may change the characters to suit my story but it's with no disrespect to the original tv series.

My Emergency stories; obviously influenced by the tv series which I watch regularly and as much as I love the show I really don't think the writer's gave the characters a lot of depth so I make up my own and hey, if you don't like my stories then don't read them. That's cool, they're not perfect and they may not be to your taste. *AU* means alternate universe (Not strictly canon).

I've tried to make each story different and involve different characters from the shows I'm writing about. Enjoy the stories for what they are, just stories.

I have three children, my eldest is studying acting in LA (NYFA) and my youngest is also an actor. His short film Miracle Fish was nominated for an Academy Award in 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cpKY2XI1NY and he has his own tv show All For Kids http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3503950/.
