Original Writings

HIATUS

My Dear Readers,

Due to a small thing we all know as Real Life, all stories have been put on hold until further notice. I won't apologise, but do try not to be too disappointed.

Laurie R. King
The Beekeeper's Son
is currently being re-written. After looking through my notes and reading Laurie R. King's Language of the Bees, I decided quite a few changes were necessary in order to fit in with the series.

Liberty's Kids
An epilogue for A Beginning was specifically requested.

BBC Merlin
I watched this show when it first came out and was completely hooked after two minutes. I like to be able to say that I liked this programme before it was cool. I am currently researching for a full-length adventure story to be expected in late autumn.

Alex Rider
My For Neither Queen, Nor Country series is basically about how working for MI6 effects Alex and what his motivations are. It also relies heavily on what the people around him do to influence him. Due Diligence is a filler story for this series and is soon-to-be finished.

Make sure to take a look at Shaken, Not Stirred, my response to the Firm's monthly prompt challenge. If you haven't already, you should go ahead and jump on the bandwagon.

Also, in my silly story, Child's Scoop, I cast Sabina Pleasure as Alex's wife. That shocked a few people, to say the least. You can expect a rather long, adventurous story of how this came about. I'm hoping to take Anthony Horowitz's sarcasitc attempt of a romantic interest and make it somewhat believable. It takes place in the future, as both characters are now adults. Alex is a bona-fide SIS, somewhat stable, agent with MI6 and Sabina is a journalist.
Update:
On hold.

Finally, have a look-see at The Firm--a project collaborated on by various AR authors. Including me.

Simply,
Shelby
