Author has written 9 stories for Monk.

This series of stories is my first attempt at writing fiction. I just discovered the TV show Monk through Hallmark reruns in 2019, and it has become my favorite show. It had comedy, drama, action, and hinted at a little romance which all of the Monk/Natalie shippers will resoundingly attest to. I started writing the stories because I was dissatisfied with the ending of the show (really the last half hour). I felt that Adrian and Natalie should have gotten together, and did not like leaving him as a man who had exchanged one unhealthy obsession (not being able to experience a full life without Trudy) for an even worse one (stalking Molly). This series of stories picks up where the writers left off and attempts to redirect the ending into what 'might have been' in the future.

If you are a new reader to my fanfic, I've labled the stories with a number so they can be read in order. If you like them, drop me a line. I love hearing feedback!

Continued thanks to Alex Hoodle, Country2776, Dmander4483, KittyKat06, TrixieDixie6,other readers, Guests and now, New Reader, for your valuable input. Receiving your encouragement and critique makes for a better story and better writing. We just broke 300,000 words as of 8/17/19 are at 175 chapters in this series since May! Thank you for sticking with it!

I have tentative titles for the next two stories, and will still be stopping at #10 - Monk's favorite number. I will leave it open ended though, with the possibility of writing more in the future - though I'm not sure I have the suggested 100 stories in my brain :) . These are truly special characters and really a lot of fun to work with, which is obvious from the fan base that remains 10 years after the series end. Thank you all for your support and special thanks to all of the writers, actors, and staff for the television show that made it one of the best series ever produced.
