Author has written 40 stories for Thunderbirds. What can I say about myself? Well I live in south-east England, I love reading, especially anything with a science or history theme. I also love music - as you will probably guess if you read my stories. Age? Well, when I watch Thunderbirds I feel about 10 years old again on the inside, but I remember the series from when it first came out, which should give you a clue. I've been making up stories in my own head for years, and always thought I was a bit mad. A friend introduced me to this site and - hey!- there are others like me too! Why did I choose 'quiller' as a name? Well,a while back I discovered the mediaeval word 'rebus' - an image that represents your name (see, people were doing this long before avatars were even thought of!) and I chose the symbol you see here as a pun on my name (Pen). So when I needed a 'pen-name' 'quiller' was the obvious choice. And for some reason I think it looks better with a lower case 'q'. A final word about my stories. It bugs me when I am half-way through reading someone's story, only to find that they never finished it. So I always try have have a story complete before I post it here. However, this means there is no point asking for more - if one chapter is all I've posted, then I'm afraid that's all my Muse has seen fit to give me! One last note. If you want to put a story of mine in your C2 list I would appreciate being asked first. Many thanks. //Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.
