Co-writer on the Star Wars fics Interregnum, Interregnum II: The New Order, and Interregnum III: Imperial Justice with the lovely and talented Admiral Byzantium. If you're looking for a different and hopefully better take on the post Thrawn Trilogy (Legends) EU. Expect character growth, lots of Jedi, Fringe, and starfighter action, and even some politics you hopefully won't hate, these could be for you, I'm super proud of them! One year after "The Last Command," the New Republic attempts to recapture planets lost during Thrawn's campaign. On Coruscant, Leia Organa Solo and Talon Karrde negotiate the official creation of the Smugglers' Alliance, a coalition of Fringe groups who align with the New Republic. There Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade reunite, while subtle foes plot in the shadows... The Empire faces a grim future. Leia works to build the New Republic, while Wedge Antilles takes command of the Super Star Destroyer Lusankya and prepares to take the war to the Empire. ISB fights to prevent worlds from defecting to the Republic, and the Inquisitorius grapples with Luke's new Jedi order. But on Yavin 4, an ancient evil lurks... Interregnum III: Imperial Justice The Empire has a new Emperor: the young Irek Ismaren! A Regency rules the New Order with an iron fist. Admiral Pellaeon and his allies reject the new government, struggling against the might of the New Order. General Wedge Antilles prepares to liberate Corellia, while Luke and Mara continue to recruit new Jedi. What no one outside the New Order knows is they have a secret weapon...Also, The cloning facility was secreted deep in one of the Empire's most secret bases. From this hidden bunker the reborn Emperor would launch his revenge on the galaxy. That had been the plan, anyway. Something might have gone wrong. Why I do what I do: I write because it's fun. I love AU and Crossover stories, and ultimately, I'm here to entertain. On reviews and new chapters, and feedback: I like reviews. Reviews tell me that people enjoyed my writing enough to spend time to comment on it. They mean a lot to me, and I like to get feedback, constructive critcism and questions, (Which I attempt to personally address as often as possible,) and an idea or implication about the chapter/story that I may not have considered, but reviews are not necessary for me to post new chapters. I'm writing to entertain myself and and you folks, not to raise my self-esteem or ego by demanding unearned praise for substandard work. I will post a new chapter to a story when I feel good about it, no sooner, no later. Frequently, this means chapters take a while as I figure out what I want to say, sometimes they take no time at all. If you have enjoyed my work, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting.
