Author has written 30 stories for Bones, X-Files, House, M.D., Castle, Mentalist, Rizzoli & Isles, Xena: Warrior Princess, Once Upon a Time, Blacklist, and Killing Eve.

I joined this site because of the brilliant fanfic being written and I thought hey, I wanna be just like these guys when I grow up. Now I'm "grown up" it’s vaguely concerning that the most satisfying use of my time is still trying to get into imaginary people’s heads.

I love moments, I love "between scenes" takes, I love good banter and all the things that swim below the surface.

On Twitter as @writagal for cat content interspersed with earnest threads.

...Thanks for reading!
