Colleen17hide bio
 Author has written 31 stories for Emergency, Bonanza, Big Valley, and Tour of Duty. I'm a fan of Michael Landon, Stephen Caffrey, Michael Douglas, Lee Majors and Randolph Mantooth, so I luv shows like Bonanza, Streets Of San Francisco, Little House On The Praire, Emergency, The Big Valley and Tour Of Duty. I'm also a fan of Mod Squad. I enjoy reading the stories written by fans. I guess you could say I'm stuck in the sixties and seventies as far as TV shows go. I tend to watch DVDs of Emergency and other favorites rather than current TV. I don't know why they appeal to me so much, since back then a lot of characters weren't given much depth or consistency. I write about my favorite characters and I try to make my stories different. I don't write to better myself at writing. I just write to tell a story. My stories are by no means perfect so if you don't like it, don't read it. I certainly don't read every story on this site and I'm very cool with that. Everybody's taste is different. I believe everyone has a right to their opinion including myself which is why I write. Its a form of therapy for me and I like to share my ideas. If someone gets enjoyment out of the story then that's great. I may portray some characters differently to the original show but that's my right as the writer. This is fiction and I like to spice it up a bit. When a story is marked *AU* it means alternate universe (Not strictly canon). I've tried to make each story different and involve different characters from the shows I'm writing about. It takes a lot of courage for me to write some of these stories, some come from the heart so I hope you get something from them. Enjoy the stories for what they are, just stories. I have three children, my eldest studied acting in LA (NYFA) and my youngest is also an actor. His short film Miracle Fish was nominated for an Academy Award in 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cpKY2XI1NY and he has his own tv show All For Kids and has recently been filmed in a few episodes in the new NBC TV series Camp, due to air 10 July 2013, hopefully will become a permanent cast member in season 2, http:///name/nm3503950/. |
