Author has written 81 stories for Mentalist.

I'm a nonprofit geek in the metro DC area who, in my limited spare time, is obsessed with The Mentalist. I read fanfic a lot in the late 90s but was never inspired to write any until Crimson Hat sent me in search of a fanfic community. So I will always be very grateful to the show for opening a new world—and what a wonderful world it is!

I'm an introvert and crazy-cat-lady-in-training, with the stereotypical geek love of all things sci-fi. But I also love strong female characters and puzzle-solving, so The Mentalist diversified my TV watching.

If you are interested in checking out my original work, I’ve begun publishing on Wattpad under the name Anna Idan Berg with my novel Wayfarers.

Jealousy reviews
A sequel to "Habit," also sort of a tag to The Golden Hammer. Spoilers for some upcoming episodes as well.

Happiness, Rediscovered reviews
"Suddenly he was struck with the truth of his situation: his past wasn't just holding him captive.

Second Hand reviews
Follow up to In the Cards. It's not necessary to read that first, though this will definitely spoil that one if you haven't. Patrick Jane finds it's not always easy getting back to normal after a tough case.

Recovery reviews
Follow up to Repentance, so you'll want to read Redemption, Regret, and Repentance first (they go in that order). This is more or less AU at this point but started out based on spoilers for My Blue Heaven. "She'd been back in Sacramento for a week, and she already wanted to kill him."

Facing Facts reviews
Set during 6x2,so spoilers for that. "Red John had taken more than one happy memory away from him. Lisbon's face had long been a source of comfort—perhaps his greatest comfort. Now every time he looked at her, he saw the afterimage of the killer's mark. And yet he couldn't stop looking."

Carded reviews
Lisbon receives unexpected—and unwanted—congratulations on bringing down Volker. Despite the title, this has nothing to do with my other fic "In the Cards," I'm just not that creative when it comes to titles. Friendship with the barest hint of more.
