I'm a Midwesterner stuck in a winter wonderland even tho I'm not a huge fan of snow and cold. But I just cant take the SW USA because of the brown-ness! Oh well... if I could only win the lottery I'd find the perfect place!

I started writing my fiction a while ago and found that once I started there was no stopping! Went so far as to buy a netbook that I stictly used for writing purposes (now is that extreme or what!). I went like gang-busters for a while but have slacked off a tad. One of these day's I'm going to have to go back to work in the real world, so I best either finish the "novel" I'm working on or find a good point at which to put it on hiatus.

You'll notice most of my writing is centered around Major Evan Lorne of Stargate Atlantis. I hope no one becomes offended by the liberties I've taken with the characters in my work. If so, there's a little X in the upper right-hand corner of the page - please feel free to click that at any time. Although I hope you will read and enjoy my attempts at telling stories.
