Thorntonshide bio
 Author has written 17 stories for Mentalist, and Folly series, Ben Aaronovitch. Avid reader of Mentalist fanfiction - may try writing some one shots but I am not sure my talent lies in that direction. Loved the Mentalist great ensemble cast and two terrific lead actors - the characters live on through fan fiction even if the show has ended. Find it hard to believe the person that created something as beautiful as the Mentalist also created the debacle that is Gotham - but that is just my opinion. Also loved Frasier, Sherlock, Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes but I am not currently hooked on many shows - though I tend to watch more US shows these days. |
