SarahSwan7hide bio
 Author has written 26 stories for MI-5/Spooks. I'm obsessed with Spooks, Silk, Smash, Death in Paradise, Doctor Who and Broadchurch. Spooks: my main project is 'Four Walls' (which is now finished) and I've used combinations of characters that weren't seen on screen just to see how that might play out... I have recently finished my story called 'Insomnia' which has a chapter for each main character. Multi-chapter fic featuring Ros called 'How to Break the Broken' is also now complete. Coming soon... - a story from Jo's perspective in Series 6 with her thoughts & feelings about Zaf's disappearance. In my opinion there are nowhere near enough Zaf & Jo stories out there and so this is something I will attempt to remedy - the first half of Series 5 from Ros' perspective - now uploaded & completed, titled 'Know My Mind' Zaf will always be my favourite character - I think he was under-used and so I try to compensate by writing lots about him :) Kudos own all main characters. |

I Can Make Your Day reviews
I like the idea of 'random acts of kindness' and wanted to see how it would work with the Spooks. This'll have a couple of chapters so that each character (I borrowed the ones from Series 5) does and receives a random act of kindness. I tried to resist obvious combinations like Harry & Ruth (but couldn't resist Zaf & Jo) to see how different characters would react to each other.
