Author has written 54 stories for Battlestar Galactica, Stargate: Atlantis, and Lancer. British, living in London, two cats and a husband to rear, no kids. Obviously ageing - given the writing of choice is a TV programme from more than 30 years ago, maybe I should just own up and say, I'm obviously old. I'll only be posting the milder stuff here, I think, as ff.net is a bit picky. So you get the lighter ones where I'm trying to be funny. The hotter, very long and angsty stuff's at my own site, www.celestialdome.com. Feedback always welcome. That way I learn. | |||||||
