Author has written 56 stories for Man From UNCLE.

Though I've written fiction, particularly fantasy fiction for years, I only started writing fanfiction in 2009. My passion is MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E., and that's the only fandom in which I currently have an interest in writing.

I have done some professional writing, but that has been more in the form of plays (which have not been of the fantasy genre) rather than stories/novellas.


7/23/12: Since my MFU stories are all in a "universe", I have added the TIMELINE to the story summaries so that readers can get a handle on how everything comes together.
