Author has written 43 stories for Sound of Music, Gilmore Girls, JAG, CSI, Army Wives, and Downton Abbey. My ships are as follows: Sound of Music: The one and only ship, Captain and Maria JAG: Harm/Mac Gilmore Girls: Lorelai/Luke and Rory/Jess CSI: Grissom/Sara It has been a long time since I updated my profile, and it needed doing. Some of the ships I was for as a much younger woman make me shake my head now. Furthermore, some of the stories I wrote as a girl of 22 make me cringe as a woman of 40. Some will be taken down, and others will be rewritten. One thing that hasn't changed over the years is my delight in writing angsty triumph over tragedy stories. Can't help myself, for my own life has been such. I do hope you enjoy reading. I ended up creating two little "universes" for my von Trapp family. The first one is Snapshots - which is mostly one shots, though some are more than one part, showing different points in the family's life from arriving in America to the hard choice to leave their farm, to the joy of birth and the pain of loss. They are listed below in chronological order not in order of publication. There is also the "Trust" series that was supposed to be one story but is now three with more to come soon. Below is the current timeline for the Snapshots series. I will fill this in as new stories are published: 1. Home of the Brave - July 1940; 2. Day of Infamy - December 1941; 3. It Could Happen Again - December 1943; 4. I, Friedrich - September 1946; 5. What Lasts a Lifetime - April and October, 1957 6. Isaac and Ishmael - January 1962 7. Georg's Thanksgiving Prayer - November 1962 Below is the Trust Series in chronological order: 1. Learn to Trust - Coming soon 2. Building Trust 3. Trust Built 4. Veritas 5. Papa's Little Girl - coming soon 6. Guiding Lights - Coming soon - VERY ANGSTY, Character Deaths 7. You Can Let Go - coming soon - Character Death |
