Author has written 7 stories for Star Wars.

Hi there! I'm a big Star Wars fan, just old enough to be able to remember seeing the original film back in 1977. :-)

I'm fairly new to writing, but have been enjoying it! My normal creative outlet is music.

I've completed a Star Wars story called "The Final Betrayal - The Fate of Ahsoka Tano" - my take on what happens to Ahsoka and offers a good explanation for her absence in Revenge of the Sith and beyond. UPDATE - it finally happened that The Clone Wars series officially rendered my story AU with the closure of season 5. I knew it would happen someday. Well, I think mine's still a good story! :-)

I'm in the middle of posting an epic serialized story called "The Best Laid Plans." It centers around a pair of best friends named Soraa and Ja'Ina. Bored with their backwater world, they long to live a more exciting life. What they don't know is that excitement (not always the 'good' kind) can sometimes find them! The story starts about a year before the battle at Yavin IV. It's OC-centric so it shows a unique point of view of the Galaxy Far Far Away at the height of Palpatine's Empire.

I've also started working on a couple of stories that are offshoots of "The Best Laid Plans", and also a sequel continuing the adventures. Please shoot me a PM if you're interested in reading more about the crew of the Queen Valkyrie.

Thanks for reading this, by the way... :-)
