Author has written 35 stories for Star Wars, Star Wars, Firefly, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica: 2003, Heroes, Horatio Hornblower, Jericho, Mass Effect, Bones, Dragon Age, and Naruto.

I'm a thirty-something Knowledge Base Writer who obviously has 'designs' on being a novelist. Sadly, my original work often takes a back seat to the inspirations of Fan Fiction.

I have a tendency to be inspired in one-shots. Most of my work begins with a "What if" or "Why didn't they" question and continues only until that is finished.
