Author has written 22 stories for Merlin, and Batman.

All of my Batman/Robin stories are loosely based on the 1966 Batman TV show. I say "loosely" because I see Adam West and Burt Ward but then I write the characters the way they come out of my mind and they are not always "historically" accurate (this applies to all of the genres: tv, movies, comics, cartoons, etc.). I don't own any of the characters from the shows, movies or comics and I'm not making any money off of these stories.

Just so you know, I rarely go into the medical/healing side of things. I usually end a story before that or skip to the future (i.e. One Month Later). You get to imagine/create the healing process if that is something that interests you. ;)

If you decide to read my stories, I love reviews and constructive criticism is always welcome! Story ideas are also always welcome but, if I don't use one of your ideas, please don't be offended and I'm sorry in advance. Thanks for reading! :)

(Raised a glass of sparkling cider on 6/10/17): To Adam West, the "Bright Knight" of Gotham City and the man who will forever be my favorite Batman.

P.S. After finally watching the 1943 and 1949 serials, and having seen most of the movies, I have to say that nobody wears the cowl as well as Adam West. Also, Burt Ward is the quintessential Robin: just young enough to be slightly naive and vulnerable yet just old enough to be intelligently observant and helpful. The writers, casting directors and actors were geniuses! Just my opinion... ;-)

Firework by paganpunk2 reviews
Orphaned and removed from the only life he's ever known, Dick feels like there's no light left for him in the world. His new benefactor, however, still sees something worth saving... Chronological beginning of the Spark in the Dark series. T for language, abuse, and death imagery.
