Author has written 8 stories for Transformers/Beast Wars.

Just kickin' back with some ideas. You might find a bombshell of a story, but hopefully no literary shrapnel comes flying your way!


Age: 37

Location: Somewhere in the middle of corn and soybean fields in the midwest.

Transformers Fan since G1! I used to race home from school every day just to see it.

Favorite Transformer: Kickback (could you tell?)

First Transformer I Ever Owned: Wheeljack (And I still love him)

Other Fandoms I Love: Mega Man (all versions), X-Men, GI Joe, TMNT, Pokemon, Kirby, Sonic the Hedgehog


Current Projects:

4/29/2014:

Transformers Prime: Invasion has been discontinued due to the show cannon constantly mangling my story each week, but I'm leaving the episodes that I did write up for those who enjoyed them. Now that Transformers Prime is essentially over, I'm working on a long-term novella that picks up where the series leaves off, instead.

Pax Cybertronia: Still working on this. Rise of the Predacons kind of wrecked my hopes of using something canon, alas. Needed to buy and read Covenant of Primus and Transformers: Retribution to complete it; now that I have, I can get back to work on it.

Transformers: Last Generation: Biggest case of writer's block EVER. Trying to power through a SINGLE SECTION on Chapter 5 that has been holding me up for months.

Potential Projects:

Life Cycle: Shrapnel, Bombshell and Kickback discover that scanning insect alt-modes came with unforeseen consequences. (G1)

Head, Hands, Heart: Empurata had become a convenient crutch - something he could blame his actions on. When an experimental technology restores his head and hands, Whirl is forced to deal with the wreckage of his life. Help comes from the last mech he ever expected it to. (IDW)


Author's Thoughts:

I like using original characters. Not because I like self-inserts or want to use an OC as a wish-fulfillment vehicle, but because sometimes when you're using characters from a set series, there are gaps in certain roles that no canon character fills. I also like to use OCs to experiment with certain ideas and plot points, and I respect canon characters enough not to jerk them around and change them in ways that just go against their intended grain. Remember: Every character in a series you liked started out as SOMEONE's original character!

The Making of a Mech by DesertCoyote reviews
Blast Off is aristocratic, aloof, and "civilized". Not exactly your typical Combaticon. He's also cold- yet lonely- working to hide his true feelings. So how did he get to be the way he is and become a Combaticon? (Mostly General Audiences but rated T for hostile aliens and being somewhat dark/dramatic)
