nic73hide bio
 Author has written 83 stories for Mentalist, and Guardian. I thought since I am writing stories I should have a something of a profile. I have watched lots of different cop shows over the years and The Mentalist is my favourite. Patrick Jane turned crime solving on it's head. Also a big fan of the Guardian and I love going into Nick's world while writing a story. Love this site and appreciate all the contributors for their stories. You have brought me hours of pleasure I have not written a story since school many many years ago and have found I love doing it and feed back makes my day. |

The Making of the SCU & A Makeshift Family by LouiseKurylo reviews
How did the SCU start? How did a motley group of people become a tightly-knit team and makeshift family? By necessity Jane doesn't appear till chapter 5 since this story takes it back to the formation of Lisbon's team and the gradual team bonding. Promise it will be interesting anyhow! / I do not own The Mentalist and reap no economic benefits from this story.
