Author has written 24 stories for Murdoch Mysteries, and Dexter.

Let's see, what do I have to say for myself? I will now give a mind-numbingly long list of things I like. Read through all of it...if you dare!

Fav tv shows include but aren't limited to Murdoch Mysteries, Fringe, Breaking Bad, Dexter (especially S1, 2 and 4), Scrubs, Modern Family, Castle (excluding S4), Parks and Rec (excluding S1), Game of Thrones and S1-5 of Supernatural.

Fav books: Pride and Prejudice, Count of Monte Cristo, Three Musketeers, To Kill a Mockingbird, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, HP series (in particular the third even though time travel paradoxes perplex me), A Song of Ice and Fire series (in particular books 1-3), Frankenstein, Ubik, and there are probably many more that I am not thinking of at the moment.

Fav movies: Driving Lessons, Hot Fuzz, Gattaca, 2002 version of Cristo even though it is riff with inaccuracies both in plot and the fact that like everyone is British sounding even though they are supposed to be French. But it's got Richard Harris and Jim Caviezel in it so I forgave all of this. And on that note, I would like to add Frequency to this list. Watched it recently again and it is still really good IMO. It gets slightly cheesy at points but given the subject matter, I'll allow it.

Fav musicians: Josh Groban, Michael Buble, Jeff Buckley, Alicia Keys, Adele, Of Monsters and Men, Radiohead, Walk Off the Earth, Emma-Lee, Soundgarden, Incubus, Mumford and Sons, Sara Bareilles, Stereophonics.

My vision of what the final scene for the series should be. I'm assuming we are getting at least one more season.

13. It's Not a Wonderful Life Yet » reviews
My take on Brackenreid's (and to a lesser extent Murdoch's) life before the events of S1. Inspired by Nordique's version of events for Jilliam.

14. The Case of the Lost Ferrets » reviews
Note: I like the sounds of this title for some reason even though it has nothing to do with the story. I can't figure out why I like it so much. An incredibly handsome young man has an unexpected rendezvous with a beautiful stranger. For anyone who doesn't know, rendezvous means secret meeting. I learned that from Henry. Also, cochon means pig. That parrot was very silly.
