Author has written 27 stories for Hardcastle and McCormick, NCIS, and Mentalist. Hi, I'm South African, (as you can see from the little flag!), and proud of it. I've been publishing on FFnet for a couple of years now, and I've met some really great people online. The warm welcome for my first story is what brought me back a second time, and things have snowballed from there. I have delusions (most likely) of one day publishing a 'real' novel, but in the meantime, I practice my craft here. The folks who review are, for the most part, really helpful, and it's always good to get advice and comments. I'm a very slow writer, as I have to spend a lot of time in the real world paying the bills and keeping up with friends and family, so the wait between stories is often long. Thank you for your patience! That said, I don't ever intend to post something that isn't finished before I start uploading it - I hate getting involved in a story only to find the author hasn't any intention of ever finishing it. I prefer to read, rather than watch TV, so my stories tend to concentrate on only a few shows. I'm always open to suggestions for stories or good shows to watch, though, but if I don't feel I could do justice to the characters I won't be writing anything about them. This is the main reason why you're not likely to see any more 'Hardcastle and McCormick' fiction from me, as I appear to have lost the knack of getting the characters right. But who knows? This is only fiction, after all, so nothing's set in stone. Other than that, I love to hear from anyone who reads my stories. Thanks for dropping by, and have a wonderful day! Barbara | |||||||||
