Author has written 14 stories for Coronation Street.

I had received some lovely messages from users on this site, even though I haven't been on here for about five years. Many were asking where they could access the stories I had uploaded here years ago, but sadly I had deleted them all, including many of the drafts from my laptop. I stumbled across a few rough drafts as I was clearing off a USB, and I thought I would re-upload what I could find. I can't guarantee I'll find them all, but I appreciated the kind words from those who sent messages, and felt a bit inspired to start writing again.

So much has happened in Coronation Street now that I wouldn't even know where to begin writing, but I think this would be as good a time as any to begin anew.

Coming Home by Lunacy1111 reviews
This is for Char and Em, who always get so excited and are so supportive :) This is set around the July 19 episode when Peter attacked Gary about the roof. I was super annoyed that Carla wasn't it and there wasn't more AngryPeter, so this... happened. Rating is M for smut in chapter 2. Possible Trigger Warning for reference to suicide. Please let me know what you think :)

Slip Into My Lay-by reviews
She almost chuckled out loud at the thought. If someone had said to her this time last year, that Carla Connor was en route to have sex with her ex-husband in a cab, at a lay-by near the airport, she would have laughed in their face and suggested that they seek some psychiatric help. Oh the irony... And yet here she was, sitting in her ex-husband's cab, speeding down the motorway
