Author has written 13 stories for Criminal Minds.

Hello,

My name is, of course, Shelly Hoffer. I love to write. In fact, I have been writing stories ever since I can remember. I have written all kinds but I really love writing episodes for TV shows and sequels for movies. Maybe someday, if I ever get them typed, I will put them all on here.

My favorite TV shows are, of course, Criminal Minds, NCIS, and The Walking Dead. I love fantasy and action genres. My favorite author is Terry Goodkind and his The Sword of Truth series. My all time favorite movie is Star Wars: Episode 5 The Empire Strikes Back (the three originals being soooo much better than the new ones!) I also love horror movies, but so many of them don't even scare me - most I find hilarious, but I love being scared even if I do have a high threshold for fear.

Let's see, what else? I love to laugh (even if my writing doesn't show it) I love messing with people as I do have a very twisted sadistic streak! (Just ask some of my friends and my sisters) *evil grin

Anyway - if you're reading this because you have found and read my story - Thank You! Please leave reviews (authors love them even if they are short) A few seconds to let me know what you think would be awesome!!

I have a new webiste that shows all of my stories and some the characters: thetalesofhoffer (dot) weebly(dot) com (no spaces, of course) It is under construction, but will be finished soon

Outside the Lines by Melody Harper reviews
Coloring inside the lines isn't always possible. Or right. Or the best way to live. Everyone strays outside from time to time. It's only bad if you're caught. Takes place after 'The Storm,' season 11 finale.

Night Music by Melody Harper reviews
Parenthood is hard when each case steals a piece of you, leaving something of itself instead…embedded deep…the stench of tragedy. Sometimes you have to find a way to let it go…let it out…save yourself from being crippled by it.

Pleasure is a Game by Melody Harper reviews
A riff on "Pleasure is My Business." Hotch, Prentiss and Morgan fall prey to Megan Kane and her love of games. But sometimes games can be educational. Sexual content and language. Runner up in 2015 Profiler's Choice Awards for Best Drama.

Be Careful What You Wish For reviews
Runner-Up of the 2015 Profiler Choice Award: 'Best M-Rated'. Part seven of the Hotch/Kahlan line. Life gets busy for the Hotchners, and Hotch gets so desperate to spend some time with his wife that he eventually even wishes that the BAU would get a case that Kahlan could help with just to have her close. He should be careful of what he wishes for.

Misinterpretations reviews
Winner of the 2014 Profiler Choice Award: 'Best OC-Driven Fic'. Part 5 in the Hotch/Kahlan line.
