Author has written 16 stories for Harry Potter, Sherlock, and Doctor Who.

I am a 25-year-old who has been scribbling for as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest stories could be considered fanfic - I used to write new mysteries for Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys when I was 8 or 9. When I was a teen, I got hooked into Bonanza fanfic, and also a few Scarlet Pimpernel stories. I discovered Harry Potter a couple of years ago, and rediscovered my love of fanfic.

I'm currently in the process of revamping my Harry Potter WIP - Fidelius - and have been dabbling in a series of one-shots for Sherlock - when minor characters met him for the first time. I'd love as much feedback as you can give me!

My dream is to be a professional writer (yes, as in "novelist"), so I am always open to feedback of all sorts. I want to hone my skills as much as possible before making the leap into manuscript submission. Fanfic gives me a chance to practice and have loads of fun.

Oh, and I am a Texas girl, through and through. If you mess with Texas, expect to hear about it from me. :)

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

Periodic Tales by sevenpercent reviews
As a chemist, Sherlock uses the Periodic Table for many reasons. A collection of short fics that add up to a better understanding of what he is and how he reacts to the catalysts in this life. Calcium is now up.

His Brother's Keeper by Kaelir of Lorien reviews
Mycroft remembered the first time he had been forced to pull John aside and explain. It was obvious that no one had warned the doctor that the addiction came with a higher price, when Sherlock's control floundered and the spark of his restraint went out, leaving him in darkness.

Listening By Ear by StillWaters1 reviews
Lestrade figured that anyone who thought John Watson wasn't important, and that Sherlock hadn't changed since meeting him, had to be completely, bloody deaf. Because it was all right there, in every sound Sherlock made. For anyone attentive enough to listen.

He's always been the one who rushes to help. As a child, he was the one who always picked up little sister when she fell, the one the younger kids knew would be there when the bullies came.
