Author has written 13 stories for Combat!, Rat Patrol, and Garrison's Gorillas.

I'm a country girl at heart but that doesn't mean I'm a country music fan. It is never about the type of music but the music itself just like my interest in TV shows, it has never been about the type of show but the characters that make up the show. If I connect to a character then the show will be watched faithfully...at least til the character is no longer associated with the program(laughing).

I take life seriously but try to enjoy the heck out of it, we only go through it once so making the best of it seems like a good idea to me...Good or Bad I take it as it comes and try to maintain a positive outlook...

I never use the P word (PLAN) experience has shown me that when using that word (shivers) something always happens and not always in a good way (smiling)

I prefer to say "I have an Idea of what I would like to do" this phrase seems to work better for me.

I would love to learn to speak Spanish and French fluently (though i can speak a few words of both) German would be interesting. For writing purposes I use Google Translate...so if you have read any of my stories forgive me if my German isn't on target I can always blame Google...LOL

I'm new to writing for FanFiction.net and though I currently write mainly Combat! Stories I have tried my hand at The Rat Patrol. When I write I find it's whatever motivates me and once the story starts playing in my head it has to be written...Good or Bad...coz if it doesn't get put to paper it keeps nagging at me until I break down and start typing.(smiles)

Maybe we'll meet somewhere down the road...one never knows...

Rat Patrol: The Charting of Waters Assignment reviews
As Sgt. Moffitt drives an injured Hitch to the nearest Field Hospital...Sgt. Troy and PFC Pettigrew continue with the current assignment...to follow a rough drawing of possible water holes within a 60 mile radius of where their jeep currently sat. They were to gather samples of the water when found and make note of coordinates for future reference...easy...right. Hope you enjoy!

A LITTLE DOWN TIME reviews
Garrison and his Gorilla's have been going non stop for a year...back to back assignments have left them in major need of rest & relaxation. Their current assignment should have been a milk run but plans haven't worked out very smooth of late, sometimes that isn't a bad thing.

I HAVE TO TELL HIM reviews
At the end of "Beneath the Ashes" Kovac says to Sgt. Saunders "I have to tell him" to which Saunders replied "You can tell him later...we still have a job to finish." Kovac asks "Do you think he'll understand?" Saunders didn't really give an answer...of course I started to wonder how Kovac would tell the LT and if Hanley would understand...this is what I came up with.
