Author has written 177 stories for Rat Patrol, and Combat!. I have a husband and three great kids, three grandkids, four horses, one donkey, two dogs and a barn full of cats. Writing is my stress reliever. I admit that suzie2b kind of pushed me to start publishing. I was enjoying her stories and wanted to contribute. I feel like some of these writers could be great friends. I love the reviews and I definitely don't mind some constructive suggestions. I would encourage anyone who likes to write to do so. It's a lot of fun! As for my depiction of the characters: I am trying to keep close to the series. I admit that I have a favorite 'rat' but I do try to give all of them their due. Hitch gets hurt a lot in my stories, but then, he was the one who got hurt the most in the series. Tully is quiet, he never had much to say in the show and I think it added to his character. I like the calm, quiet guy who is always there when you need him. Troy was the undisputed leader and the one who came up with the 'crazy' ideas. Moffitt was the expert in most things and the voice of reason when things got hectic. Let us not forget the guy we all love to hate, Captain Dietrich. I found him honorable and fair, but still a German, there is no getting around that. If you disagree with my assessment, please feel free to PM me and we can discuss it. I hope to keep all four 'rats' involved as much as possible and I like to include the captain, but again, he wasn't the only German out there. I do admit that there are times when I only use one or two of the guys, but again, they did that in the show sometimes too. My goal is to keep the guys alive and active in my fantasy world and maybe share my passion with others who feel the same. So please, enjoy the stories, and feel free to review to your hearts content. Say what you want, I will not refuse to allow any review, good or bad. Thank you for the time you share with me. Now- back to my writing. Note to Lawrence Lay: I can check into the series and see what I can come up with. It sounds like an interesting idea. Give me some time. Thanks for the idea. |
