I wrote my first ever fan fiction in January 2006. Since then I've discovered writing is a delightful pasttime in which I can take my favorite CSI characters out to play whenever I like. I never expected a hobby (that I started just to see if I could do it), would grab me and not let me go.

I am currently working on a very long piece, Dead Ringer, a cross-over between CSI and Manhunter/Red Dragon. Posting schedule: As of October 20, 2007, I am on a posting hiatus. Read about it here on my LJ: http://dreams-of-him.livejournal.com/111314.html. I will finish DR, but I don't know when new posts will commence. My apologies to everyone who is waiting for DR to be completed.

I also post at GeekFiction on LiveJournal under the name dreams_of_him. Those stories often include special artwork I create specifically for each entry. There are also a few NC-17 rated stories there: ones that I could not post here. To see my artwork and/or read my stories on GF, click here: http://community.livejournal.com/geekfiction/tag/dreams_of_him.

I have co-written stories with mingsmommy under the nom-de-net of dreamsofming. Read those stories here on ffnet (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1371051/) or on GeekFiction by following this link: http://community.livejournal.com/geekfiction/tag/dreams_of_ming.

Thank you for reading my work. I have received many generous and positive responses from readers here: your thoughts mean a lot to me. I welcome comments and questions.

The Series:

Waiting By the River is followed by the sequel, Lost Passage

Lost and Found is followed by the sequel, The Hidden Truth
