Long-time crazy writer person who's into anything interesting -- I've been a 1-900 tele-psychic, a computer tech, a radio DJ, and a fraud investigator. I'm an artist, a cartoonist, a writer, a website designer, a kite-flyer and bike-rider who makes the Best Pizza In The World and who has been married for over 25 years to the Absolute Best Husband In The World & owned by two fuzzy cats. I've had two short stories published, but have a huge backlog of original novels and tales all mostly set in the same world that's been eating at me for over 20 years.

My tales started as fanfic and grew away from it, but now I'm delving back into fanfic in a totally different 'verse -- and having tons of fun doing it! The current tales grew out of the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) craziness -- c'mon, fellow writers, join in on the NaNoWriMo fun over at http://www.nanowrimo.org!

I'm a HUGE stickler for correct English usage, as well as good story-telling style. I have no patience with folks that post unreadable error-ridden research-failures. You've been warned.

Current fic 'verse: The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries -- the '70s show with Shaun Cassidy & Parker Stevenson (with some shades of the Mickey Mouse Club serial of the '50s). I'm taking on the eps' predilection for supernatural phenomena and running very, very far with it; you tell ME how well it works. :) So far, my story order (in progress, completed, and planned) goes:

Blood Circles: Voodoo Doll (1st tale written -- posted, complete. Based on ep of same name.)

House on Possessed Hill (set 3 years before Voodoo Doll -- posted, complete. Based on ep of same name.)

In Excelsis Deo (set 9 years before Voodoo Doll -- in progress. Original).

Blood Circles: The SF Vampire (set two months after the end of Doll -- has been pulled for rework. Original.)

Arson & Old Lace (currently the start of my Frank/Nancy, and based on the ep of the same name -- work in progress, not yet posted)

The Witchmaster's Key (not yet posted, work in progress -- TV show rework of the infamous blue-spine)

Sole Survivor (yes, THAT episode. not yet posted, in progress)

Wind That Shakes The Barley (my retake on "Last Kiss of Summer". not yet posted, in progress)

Creatures That Came On Sunday (yeah. The aliens episode. planned, not posted)

Rocky Mountain High (original, title tentative, not yet posted, in progress)

Wipe Out (title tentative, original work in progress, not yet posted)
