Author has written 35 stories for StarTrek: Deep Space Nine, Star Wars, Stargate: SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis, Office, Star Wars, Shield, Star Trek: 2009, Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Walking Dead.

I'm not writing Atlantis pieces anymore, but for those of you wondering where to start with my McKeller stories, here's a few that I feel have aged fairly well:

1. The Fuse

2. A Night with the Jersey Devil

3. The Far Off Hymn

4. The Lost Year

5. Your Yesterdays Ain't Nothin'

6. The Broken Charade

And though there's a lot of Radio Nowhere that I'm no longer happy with, that still seems to be the one that people most enjoy.

Thanks to everyone who's read my various tales, across all fandoms, and taken the time to offer feedback. That's very kind of you. It can be frustrating when folks "favorite" or "alert" a story, but never critique it, so that you can entertain the things they liked and the things they didn't.
