Hello, everyone!

My name is Nancy (well, that's obvious) and I'm a fifty-something female living in the Metro Atlanta area of Georgia, in the good ole US of A. I am the mother of a 25 year old son, Jimmy, who, as a Marine, has recently returned from three years in Okinawa, Japan. My interests include: reading & writing (historical romance, action/adventure, military, science fiction, mystery, western and comedy), watching television and movies (same genres), genealogy (my ancestry is mostly British but I am also Cherokee, Creek and Choctaw Indian), photography (that's why I'm in so few pictures), and Facebook. Yes, yes...I know...I'm addicted.

Speaking of addictions...let's talk about the shows I write fanfics for...or should I say about. (I WISH I wrote for them. And when I grow up, I want to be a screenwriter.) My very first fanfic (unpublished) was a ST /TOS and ST/TNG crossover. (I would love to finish that someday but would have to recreate it from memory as the original work was destroyed.) Then, back in the mid to late '90's, I was a HUGE fan of the couple Mike & Carrie on Days of Our Lives. A dear friend of mine challenged me to write a fanfic about them. I swallowed hard and said, "okay! I'll do it!" So, my very first published fanfic was "Without a Trace". The basic premise was that Carrie was kidnapped on her wedding day to Mike Horton and taken to...oh, wait...I see what you're doing...no, no...you gotta read the fanfic yourself. ;-) I FOUND WITHOUT A TRACE!! I recently found this fanfic hidden in a file within a file. Abby and McGee would be proud. Please, read and review!! I continued writing fanfics based on DAYS characters but mostly stayed with Mike/Carrie and Shawn/Belle writing under the names "Shawns_Girl" and "MikesLuv". I've also written fanfics based on Burn Notice, JAG, The Pretender and most recently, NCIS and Bonanza. I am a HUGE Gibbs-aholic folks and on the message boards, you'll find me writing under "GibbsGirl Nancy". While I should be working on the fanfics already in production, I've gotten a hankerin' to write a Bonanza fanfic series written under the name "Adams_Lady". I'm sorry folks. I gotta go with what the bunnies tell me.

A word about The Pretender fanfic...I have been contemplating finishing this story. It's just hangin' out there with no ending and I wanna end it the right way. Yes, it's a bit "adult" and I have been thinking about "G"-ing it up and resubmitting. Does anyone have any thoughts on that?

I am blessed to have some awesome friends on the site and am also blessed to have the encouragement and beta skills of some awesomely (that's a word, right?) prolific writers as well. :wavin' to my girls: I love reviews (good or bad) so keep sending them in. As HildeJ puts it, "it helps the bunnies".

Now, a word about my current fanfics:

UPDATE: I have recently bombarded with requests to work on the Bonanza: The Lost Years fanfic. So, yes...I will continue the story. I have been working on it albeit slowly and have a lot to write down. I tend to "write" in my head and then put it to paper in a flury. Be on the lookout for the new chapters coming out soon.

Just uploaded Chapter 2 of the NCIS fanfic, A Dirty Little Secret. Please read and review. Also, I had found a few things I wanted to clear up in chapter one so I've reloaded it with the corrected version. Nothing major, just subtle corrections. I'm still writing this fic so please be patient. I wrote chapter 2 in 2 1/2 hours so I apologize if it seemed rushed. I'm taking a poll...the majority wins. Does anyone want to see more of the Confession series? I got good reviews but just wanted to double check to see if there was any interest. Just published chapter one of my Bonanza fanfic, "The Lost Years". I would love to get feedback on that one. I've been working on it for a while now.

I have recently submitted three stories in the Confession series: Drunken Confessions, Sober Truths and Truths and Confessions. The third story, Truths and Confessions, was written in Gibbs POV first person which I've never done before. My apologies if it doesn't turn out well. I can always rewrite it. I'm taking a short break from my NCIS stories to work on "Cats in the Cradle" which I so desperetly need to finish. Once that one is finished, I'll be working on a new fanfic I've already created but not posted. More about that later. I'm also working on some background info on a Bonanza fanfic. See, I told you...too many irons in the fire.

Again, thanks for all your support and for reading my fanfics and most of all, for your friendship. Y'all are awesome!

hugs

Nancy
