Author has written 10 stories for Mass Effect, and Fallout.

Hi All,

I'm a scientist and jill of all trades and mistress of none but am willing to give anything new a go to express my artistic side. I would like to thank all those who have taken time to read and review. I am extremely welcoming to those who wish to critique further, in fact please feel free to pm me. Constructive criticism beyond "your piece is good" (although appreciated!) is what I crave and I will respond to all those who take the time to give me any pointers as to how to improve my writing skills.

Long Way Home, is on hiatus until I can find my groove back for the story.

Until then It will be mostly Fallout stuff.

Thanks for all your support.

BG

Update 5 February: In Robert Joseph MacCready hell.
