My favorite character is Marty Deeks. He is the main focus of all of my stories. I have enjoyed creating a backstory for him and delving into his childhood. I also love seeing what trouble he can get into and how the other members of the team respond to him and help him. My characters express more emotion than on the show which allows me to add more depth to their relationships. I like psychological drama and I explore that using Deeks. I have created several original characters who inhabit my stories from time to time, some good guys and some very, very bad guys. Hope you enjoy getting to know them.

I am a visual person, and have had a long career in graphic design, and writing is now my creative outlet.

As you all know, the characters from NCIS:LA are not mine, but the property of their creator Shane Brennan, the writers and CBS, and I thank them every day for creating Marty Deeks and for hiring Eric Christian Olsen for the part. I do lay claim exclusively to my original characters, George and Joe Atwood; Elan Hand, and his long lost son, Soldier; Jim Littleshield; and Lily Roche. I also can't forget Pete Archuleta or Miguel Rodriquez, otherwise known as Miggy, and the Rafferty family, especially Mick, otherwise known as Raffy.

The Atwood Chronicles

I have created a series of multi-chapter stories I call The Atwood Chronicles, during which Deeks unexpectedly finds a family. In this alternate universe, his mother died when he was just a teenager, so he is a loner. These stories are not canon, but the characters remain very similar to those on the series. Each story is a creation all my own and are connected to each other in an overarching storyline. They are listed below in the order in which they were written:

Judgement: Deeks finds himself alone on a mission after the team is ambushed.

Vengeance: Sequel to Judgement. The team is on alert after Deeks is threatened.

Promises to Keep: Deeks is assigned to guard a little girl. Third story in the trilogy.

Crossroads: Deeks and Kensi go to Santa Fe with Arapaho Elan Hand to search for his long lost son.

Yesterday's Fire (This is a look at Deeks, Kensi, Callen and Sam, and the Atwoods as they might have been in old west Wyoming in the 1880's)

Brotherhood: One of their own is missing and they struggle to find him before its too late.

Breakthrough: A sequel to Brotherhood. Deeks discovers what happened in his last assignment follows him home, making him come to a decision about his future with Kensi.

Choices: Deeks and Kensi return to the Atwood Ranch in Wyoming and become embroiled in the interactions between Elan Hand’s teenage son Soldier, and a wealthy local family.

A Whisper of Regret: Deeks and Elan are drawn into the dark world of an assassin hunting Lily Roche, Elan’s former lover.

The Family: George is in trouble and Deeks and the Atwoods find themselves fighting for the heart of their family.
