I've long been a fan of Stephanie Plum. I admire her tenacity and spunk. I like Morelli, but I love Ranger. I have been reading FF for a number of years. After lurking for several years, I registered an account and found the courage to leave my first review.

A year later, it was with sweaty palms and trembling fingers (that might explain the typos!) that I pushed the submit button to post my first story. In the time I've been writing I've made close friends on this site. It has changed my life completely, in a very good way.

I appreciate all reviews good and bad. With each story I write I try for a happy ending. RL is hard sometimes, and it's nice to have a place to go where every thing works out.

I've recently taken a couple of slight deviations in my writing career.

My longtime beta and friend jago-ji and I have collaborated on a story and now can be found on fanfiction as ThePardoGirls. We hope to work together on a regular basis to create lots of Ranger-friendly stories. We believe in happily ever after!

And the second deviation is—I have an original novel completed. Phaleeta's Obsession...inspired by my favorite fictional hero! You can find it on Amazon and the other usual sites, with the author name of Cathy Crowne. I'm currently working on several Plum FFs as well as another original novel.

I still remain an avid reader of FF and am constantly amazed as a reader, and humbled as a writer, at the level of talent on this site.
