After four years, my newest Dragnet story entitled The Big Witness is finally complete.

I have been writing stories on and off for nearly 30 years, although the writing focal point has been more present in the last 23 years or so.   I wrote my first complete fiction story in 1993, and struggled with a few unfinished pieces throughout my high school years. It was in college that I began to take a more serious look at the craft of writing fiction and also discovered the atmosphere of fan fiction. In 1998, I wrote my first fan fiction story and have thoroughly enjoyed this genre of writing ever since. 

As you will soon notice in the pages below, my stories tend to take place in another era during the 20th Century. This should be no surprise to those who truly know me and are aware of my respect and admiration for the subject. The decades I enjoy researching and studying range from the 1920s to the 1970s. If I had to choose a favorite decade, it would be the 1940s. I feel that the war years were so special and extraordinary in their own way, and that there was a certain poignancy of those days that we, in this modern age, will never have the chance to experience. Since I do not remember any of the above decades first hand, I use the written word to transport back in time.
