My Barbaric YAWPhide bio
 Author has written 39 stories for Star Wars, Indiana Jones, M*A*S*H, James Bond, Remington Steele, Moonlighting, House, M.D., Doctor Who, Catcher in the Rye, Ballykissangel, Bones, Grimm, Spirited, Lucifer, and Inspector Lynley Mysteries. “The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me, he complains of my gab and my loitering. I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable, I sound my barbaric YAWP over the roofs of the world.” ~Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass I have this thing for characters. I can’t explain it. They get into my head and run around until I put them on paper. It’s not always pretty, but it’s usually entertaining. And they’re usually not mine—that’s why they end up here. So look around, review, and enjoy! |
