Author has written 16 stories for Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew.

Update: June, 2010 - As some of you know I recently had to say goodbye to my best friend, my constant companion, my protector, my confidant... my baby, Rebel. He came down with a very serious and fast moving infection from what was supposed to be a relatively routine, minor surgery. He was suffering terribly with no chance of recovery and I had to make the heartbreaking decision to euthanize him. It was very sudden and unexpected and I am totally devastated. Needless to say, my heart just isn't in writing and posting fanfiction right now. All stories that I have posted to date are complete so you won't be left hanging but I have no idea when I will resume posting.

Thank you to the kind words and expressions of sympathy from so many of you. Knowing other people understand has helped more than you know.

To my beautiful sweet boy, Rebel - I miss you more than you could possibly know. Wait for me at Rainbow Bridge...

Hi there! Thanks for visiting my profile page. :-)

I've been writing Hardy Boys fanfic for about eight years now.

A few things about my stories...

In my little AU Hardy world, the boys are older, graduated from college and have gone into the 'family business' with their father. Frank is 24 and newly married to Callie. Joe is 23 and he and Vanessa are living together.

To quote my good buddy Phoenix, all my stories are "Nancy Drew Free zones". If you're looking for Nancy, you won't find her here. Nothing personal against Nancy, I was just never a fan of hers.

Joe is my favorite brother so all my stories are 'Joe-centric'. Frank IS very prominent in all my stories but usually in the protective big brother role. As far as I'm concerned, there is no better big brother in the world than Frank Hardy. :-) (Just don't tell Dean Winchester I said that :p)

I never start posting a story until it's completely finished so you don't have to wonder if it'll be months between updates or if the story will be completely abandoned halfway through.

And while it wasn't my intention when I started out, it seems, with the exception of a few stand-alones, my stories are actually a 'series' as they do follow a timeline. So it's probably best to read them in order. All stories are complete unless otherwise noted.

Under The Influence

Guilty

Innocent

Trust

Vanished

Happy Birthday

Triple Jeopardy

At All Costs

Love and Loyalty

Sleight of Hand

Any other stories are not part of the series and can be read whenever... ;-)

Blanket disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Frank, Joe or any of their friends or family. If I did, I would be sitting on a warm, sandy beach right now, drinking drinks with little paper umbrellas in them and counting my millions. ;-)
