A little about myself--I am just a wannabe writer who lacks the courage to publish my stories for public view. I have spent many years attempting to teach children the joy of writing and sharing their works, but the teacher lacks the moxie to do the same.

I was born and raised in the military environment then married and have worked in similar environments all my life. I have been blessed to live in various places around the world. When I discovered the Necessary Roughness fandom I was drawn to Nico because of his military experience and his physical likeness to a man who is very significant in my life. Strong determined women and flawed characters also fascinate me.

Then came Blacklist--what an exquisitley intriguing character Raymond Reddington is, offering so many avenues for a writer to explore! I am especially intrigued by character studies and by the use of humor in a well crafted story. Red Reddington lends himself so well to these endeavors.

Thank you to all of you authors who continue to keep good writing and great characters alive. Every story published has some value and gives us readers the joy of sharing your inspiration. Perhaps one day I too will try publishing my musings and perceptions of these fascinating characters.
