I read and write FanFic for fun and stress relief, nothing more. J.R.R. Tolkien is my all-time favorite author. Sir Doyle is a close second. My son, JB, thoroughly enjoys C.S. Lewis, J.R.R Tolkien and a variety of the DC Universe.

Harry and Hermione are my favorite characters from the J.K. Rowling books. I was disappointed when book six took the Harry/Ginny Ron/Hermione path. Found hope in book seven until Ron came back. This is why all my fanfics will more than likely center these two even if they don't seem to start that way.

I try to do things unique and not 'borrow' any ideas. Some common thoughts cannot be avoided, but I try really hard to at all cost. Everything I write has a purpose and I try really hard not to write filler. I do love a good twist though! My writings border the darkness but stay on top; riding it like a razor's edge.

My son, JB, tries to emulate my writing style. You can expect his stories to stay on the lighter side. I'm hoping that writing FanFic will help teach him how to develop his own characters.

To state the obvious:

Disclaimer

We don't own the Harry Potter Series, Universe, or anything in it. That all belongs to J.K. Rowling. We don't own the DC Universe or anything in it. We don't own the Marvel Universe or anything in it. We don't own Jane and the Dragon or anything in their universe. We just enjoy making up all kinds of fun stories about them! This is, and always will be, just for fun.

Check out my Fiction story on Fiction Press. It's called The Pretender's Game. It's a Fantasy story about a young woman named Amy Watson. She thought she was just a simple college student until she was abducted from her apartment. Held captive against her will and forced to live inside a wooden crate, her thoughts slowly turned from escaping to dying. That was until a young man rescued her from her prison and turned her world upside down.

Update: June 29, 2018

Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer! Just wanted to give a quick update. Thanks to the help of my son, JB, the following stories are back underway! An Ace in the Hole, The Falling: Darkness Rising, Poor Decisions, The Last Great Secret, & When Harry Met Jane. Two new stories have also been added: Behind the Mask & Cloak and Dagger (One Shot for now). Stories in-progress will be updated on a regular basis of at least once per month. JB is still deciding on what to do with The Trial of Harry Potter.

Remember to check out, The Legend of Chip, written by Stanley Campbell, and edited by yours truly! My other Recommended Reads are listed below.

P.S.: It's so much easier to edit other people's stories than it is to do your own! Just saying ... ;)

Update: December 27, 2017

Hope everyone had a very merry Christmas! It's been awhile since my last update and a couple of people have become concerned. No worries. I'm still here. Just been incredibly busy! Between getting my new novel ready and becoming a paid editor, life has been hectic. I will be updating An Ace in the Hole and The Falling: Darkness Rising. My helper for Poor Decisions dropped off so, updates will come when they can. My son has gotten wrapped up in writing flash fiction so, I The Trial of Harry Potter and When Harry Met Jane will remain on hiatus for now.

Check out my list of Recommended Reads below. I will continue to add to the list as I read and edit new works. That's it for now. Happy reading!

Update: July 8, 2017

Either my life is getting shorter or I over-exaggerated how long it would take me to write my own fantasy novel! Just finished the SECOND book in what will now be a series!

The first book's release has been dramatically delayed, but the final revision is almost complete and the illustrations are done. I really have to give the editors a lot of credit. The book is looking polished and it's almost ready. I'll keep everyone posted (really excited)!

Update: April 21, 2016

I've been receiving a lot of encouragement to keep writing and people wondering when I will update my current stories again. Thank you for your concerns. Truth is, my laptop was stolen and I'm having to rewrite what I lost. (I'm aware of Dropbox. Actually had an ownCloud account for a while.) The hardest part was losing my notes. Having to remember some of my ideas again has been difficult (the best come in the middle of the night). Good news is that I've been able to get a lot rewritten and will be updating soon! Thanks again for all the encouragement!

P.S.: My updates will include the start of my sequel to The Falling.

Update: September 5,2016

A quick update. As many have been wondering, I have NOT taken a hiatus from writing. Instead, I've been working very hard on recouping what I lost with the loss (THEFT) of my favorite computer (AND BACKING UP EVERYTHING). They say that plumbers have the worst leaks... Anyways, I will be posting more chapters soon. Thanks for all the encouragement and interest in my stories.

Update: February 5, 2017

Sorry for the long delay again. Life, Holidays and the release of Season 4 of Sherlock completely shutdown my creative processes. Had to sit back and watch all four seasons of Sherlock on a 20 hour binge to wrap my mind around the fact that such a great series had ended. Now, I'm over it and back on the wagon! I will be focusing on updating all four of my open stories, though The Darkness Rising and An Ace In The Hole will have the lion's share of my attentions. My son JB is completely distracted by the Netflix series, Voltron, and by several school projects so, I would not expect anything from him until the summer. I could be wrong though. Children have a way of proving their parents wrong. Thank you to all of you that encourage me to continue writing.
