Most of my fan-fiction writing to date has been a part of the “Bob-White Universe” that includes the “Bob-White Trilogy” and related short stories of “Sleepyside 10562”.
A Bob-White
Trilogy- A trilogy of stories about the three Bob-white girls—Trixie, Honey, and Diana—and their lives as young adults.

10562
- A group of (mostly) shorter stories, featuring the characters from the Trixie Belden series. They may or may not lead
into longer works in the future. Some of the relationships depicted follow a non-traditional arc.

Nation
- My most recent universe debuted in 2009. The young adult Bob-Whites face many challenges as they come of age during
the turbulent 1960s. Will their friendship survive or will they scatter like butterflies across our nation?

I've also made a VERY public confession of my addiction to all things Trixie:
As a Jix Author, I've participated in some writing challenges:
Please note: The stories located at this site contain minimal uses of profanity, sexual innuendo, or adult subject matter, and should not
offend most people. However, they are written for an adult audience and not for children. The Bob-Whites depicted in these stories are
responsible, moral individuals, but they are facing contemporary adult situations and decisions. The author has attempted to deal with these issues
sensitively, so as not to offend anyone. However, if you think you might be offended by reading about the Bob-Whites as adults, please don't read further.
