Author has written 26 stories for Lord of the Rings, StarTrek: Voyager, Transformers, Sentinel, Misc. Movies, and Man From UNCLE.

This is the start of something big and long which is updated just about every single day. (There are at recent seven books to this story. Here is the intro to the first one)

The Diego Diaries, Book One: A Transformers Story

Prologue

This is a story of the Transformers a decade in the making. This crosses all universes and includes both cartoon versions of this fandom and the movie verse, too. It starts with a prank war between Ironhide and Ratchet, spans outward and comes to include all the possibilities of life once lived on Cybertron including Cybertronian football.

Yes, I said Cybertronian football.

Consider Prime standing on a hill side at the end of the Transformers, the first movie ...

Prime speaks of unity, honor and family. Then he puts out a call to the universe for all Autobots wherever they may be ...

‘Come to me.’

And they do.

And so do the refugees that hear him. They come ...

Millions and millions and millions of them …

And the Decepticons. Them, too.

Those guys.

Soooo ... let's get right into it.

This is a continuation of the universe started in Diego Diaries and continued through parts two to six. The premise is a joke that led to world building.

I love TF: Prime and finally got a plot in my head. This is that story and group in an AU that has their elements but my direction. This is about hidden truths, humor, drama and adventure. This is about humans and bots saving themselves. This is about my reaction to the Autobots always being underdogs. There will be no spoilers.

A River Flows: How It All Began reviews
This story is about how the Canaan Land arc began from Academy days forward. This is the only story that is gritty and worthy of an M warning. All of the others are K or T in this series. This reflects Tom's fall and rise, Chakotay and the Maquis and how they found each other. It was written in 1998, another lifetime ago. I almost feel like I'm editing someone else's story. :D
