About the Author: After a few years of starvation called college, I elected to join the US Navy and became an Aircraft Ordnanceman for nine years. It was great working with explosives. My career even made one season of the Discovery channel's 10 most dangerous jobs in the world list, twice, due to aircraft carrier flight deck duty and fun with things that go boom.

My naval career was a blast, after all, seven lucky years of it was in New Orleans. I might have stayed in, but by early 2001, I had found myself in the role of a single, sole-custody dad. The full-time military career was over, since I couldn't drop off my son at the local Kindercare to pick him up in September.

I published my first novel, since it was one my things to do before I accidently choke to death on a pretzel list. This is rather amazing, since like John Grisham, I'm a right brainer and will forever be in need of a professional editor. Even wierder, the book sold as far east as Finland, as far south as Brazil, as far north as Canada, and as far west as California. So, I was not too shabby for a hack. =)

As for now, I'm a Program Assistant in the Department of Homeland Security. I'm still a single dad, but that's a perk in life, rather than a job.

About the work: I actually started this fan fic on a lark for two friends on the TSCC wiki. The original webpage for it is listed here. It might be worth checking out due to the multimedia links that I'm not sure I can reproduce here. This is also a transplant of what I wrote there first, so the green on the original webpages was my wierd thought of how to do something more creative against the black screen there.

I'm so old that I remember the days of the old Apple II, thus it evoked memories of the first terminator movie for me. Yep, I'm in my thirties. For most of you, that means I remember the days of the Dinasaurs fondly, when we ate rocks and walked to school uphill both ways.

So, if you are someone that likes the work herein you actually have two posters named Nonprodigal and Zuluseven too thank. I'd be a jerk not to thank my muses.

I didn't see an exclusion clause for posting other work. So, I'll post my only novel here as well through the Barnes and Noble link: Here

Some of you might be aspiring writers. I'd like too pass on the advice I got from listening to NPR one day, while they interviewed a rather famous author by the name of Stephen King, who if I paraphrase, pretty much said, don't let your perfectionism kill your ability to finish your own work.

If you're anything like me, you can get completely OCD about putting your writing together. Sadly, that's not the hard part, the hard part is going through the publication process.

If you are going to do so, know ahead of time, that fanfics are about the hardest thing to get published, so take the time to create your own mythos. You should get a good literary agent, which the "Literary Agents Guide for 20XX" is a good place to start. Don't try to figure it out on the internet, there are far more scams than honest agents.

A real agent will never require a fee to review your work. However, once you are picked up, as the author you are required to pay copying fees while they pitch your work to various publishing houses. This is business standard.

It's also standard to never get feedback on what they thought or which houses liked your work. If you are a writer this will drive you insane, for we are a rather needy lot, but it is just how it is.

You'll jump through all of those hurdles. Then, you might be the product a house is looking for at the right time, that quarter, or you might self publish, and then, yes, you too can go insane with the lifetime of selling your work that comes afterwards.

Then again, you could try for screenplays next. The average advance is down to about ten thousand for books and the guy who wrote the "Scream" screenplay got half a million for his first one, which he never had too pitch or sell again. That's just sexy. =)

So, good luck too all you aspiring writers out there. May you be the next Stephen King or J.K.Rowling.

Too all those readers out there that make that possible, thank you ever so much for loving those dear scribbles we madly write down. Without the rather divine gift of you and your imagination, we writers would never have the ability to fly.

Nitpicker notes for, "The Book Of Cameron"

1: The actual date of entry for the Connors into 2007 is assumed to be 10 September 2007. FBI feed of the bank scene marked the date is 9-10-99. The jump scene from the pilot didn't show a change of month or day, only the year. This also corresponds with road sign that stated there would be construction from 09-03-07 to 09-24-07.

2: S1,E3 "The Turk" Tarissa Dyson states its the tenth anniversary of Miles Dysons death. The actual events of T2, originally figured to happen in the summer of 1995. Both T3 and TSCC change John's age at that time from 10 to 13, so a time adjustment would have to happen. S1,E3 resets the date to approximately 15 September 1997 and it is assumed to be such for this fiction.

3: S2,E2 "Automatic for the people" used a phone code that marked the date two days after John's Birthday as 16 November. That means the timeline used for the series has John's birthday as 14 November 1983. This removes certain continuity issues, such as Kyle Reese being sent back in 2007 rather than 2009 (as established by the first movie) and John's original birthday being February 28, 1985, which would have made him 14 at the time of the pilot. This fiction will use the timeline of 14 November 1983 as the date of John's Birthday.

4. S2,E2 "Automatic for the people" introduces the character Kacey Corbin who is 7 months along in her pregnancy on November 15, 2007. No show showing her as still pregnant will be dated further than January 15, 2008, or two weeks later if she has a late pregnancy.

5. The date of S2E4 Allison from Palmdale is assumed to be November 24, 2007.

6. As is being increasingly noted in the series, the timeline is shifting and events in the present are changing the future and sometimes the past. Here's a thread I attempted to explain this with for those curious few that would really wish to read it:

7. Events do not perfectly match the last half of Season Two. As you might have guessed, this is a slightly different timeline.
