Bio:
Hello everyone. I am a 74 year old Mother of one girl and Grandmother of two girls, all of them grown adults now. I've been an ardent and devoted fan of Queer as Folk since the very first airing of Season 1, Episode 1, which I had to watch after seeing the British version shortly before the American version was aired. And although the British version was truly wonderful, nothing could have prepared me for the magnificent talent of the actors who took on the American version, or the compelling storylines they played out. Eventually I discovered the world of fanfics after my girls gave me my first computer, and i've never looked back. I started as an avid reader of QAF fanfiction and was finally convinced by fellow QAFers to try my hand at my own fanfics. That was more than a decade ago and nothing has given me more pleasure than writing my stories and hearing from readers who seemed to enjoy them. I've been dormant with my writing for the last few years due to a number of reasons, but I do hope that some of my old work will still find an audience that likes what I've written.
As for my personal life... I've grown up all over the United States until the age of 19, when I settled in the Dallas, Texas area, where I remained for 48 years. About 5 years ago I finally made a move with my girls to Pennsylvania, and am now very happily living with my youngest Granddaughter in Lancaster. Oh yes, I also became a devoted fan of another television series called 'Spartacus'. There is a loving gay couple called Agron and Nasir that have also inspired me to write fanfics for their characters and you will find one cross-over story involving this couple with Brian and Justin. Hopefully there will be more stories in my future, but only time will tell. Thank you for checking me out.
This story is a gap filler for the end of Episode 12 of Season 5 to the beginning of Episode 13. Justin has accepted Brian's proposal and Brian wants to show his appreciation by treating his fiance' to a Valentine's Day he will never forget. Many thanks to Eka for the lovely banner and Pat for her great help as my beta. Comments are always welcome.

This story is based on the words of the old Peter, Paul, and Mary song, 'Some Walls'. In the story, Brian reflects back on the walls he had built up around his heart as he takes that final step in tearing the walls down when he proposes one last time to the man he loves and receives the answer he was looking for. Many thanks to Eka for the wonderful banner and Pat for doing beta work for me.

This is a story based on the words of the Clay Aiken song 'Solitaire'. It is strictly in Brian's POV as he remembers all the events that happened in Season Three from the moment Justin left him for the Fiddler to the moment he got Justin back into his arms, where he belonged. I owe a debt of gratitude to Eka for the beautiful banner and Pat for her beta skills.

This is a beautifully written story set in 1944, featuring Brian and Justin as gay soldiers in WWII serving in occupied France. One of my favorite stories from this amazing author - Lorie
It is the Winter of 1944 in occupied France. The allies have landed and slowly, so slowly, made their attempt to push to the borders of Germany. Sergeant Brian Kinney is too busy trying to keep his men alive and do his duty to worry about anything else, much less a personal life. Everything changes one day when one of his men, recently killed in an ambush, is replaced with a raw new recruit, Private Justin Taylor. The kid looks like he's barely out of High School and totally wet behind the ears. The Sarge is not happy, especially when without warning Sergeant Kinney finds himself fighting a different kind of war than the one on the battlefield.
I am dedicating this story to my late father who served bravely and honorably in WWII and the Vietnam War. I am also dedicating this story to all the GLBT men and women who also served with honor, but in silence throughout history. Many thanks go to the amazing Eka for her brilliant banner and to my friend Pat for her beta skills.

This is the sequel to Double Trouble and it will help you to understand the characters and their motivations if you've read DT first. Hopefully this one will stand up well on its own. This story picks up four years after DT ends. This time it is Gus and boyfriend Jason who are graduating from college and their sisters who are graduating from high school. The story will look back on the previous four years and then move on to their new lives together. Brian and Justin, still happily married, look with pride on the kids they helped move into adulthood together. I hope you will enjoy this continuation of their saga and remember that I welcome all comments. Many thanks to the genius work of Eka for the banner and my friend Pat for the beta work. Enjoy!

The story is set a dozen years after that final heart-wrenching scene, when the couple parted so that Justin could move to New York City. Eventually Brian joined him, and they both thrived in their careers. Unfortunately Brian's success has slowly caused an imperceptible wedge between them with his constant absences for work. Brian, fearing that their relationship is faltering, has decided to show Justin just how important he is to him by planning a Valentine's Day vacation he will never forget.
I want to thank my beta, Judy for her invaluable help and Kim for the beautiful banner.

Happy Holidays, my friends. The setting is the night before Justin makes his historic first-time trip to Liberty Avenue. I know, I know...this happened at the beginning of the school year, not December. Read on. Trust me, it fits in with the theme. LOL! I hope your holidays will be full of love and peace and with all your loved ones nearby, no matter how you celebrate this Season. An extra special thank you goes out to my eldest Granddaughter, Marika for producing the banner. This is her first one for me and I truly appreciate her work.

This story is dedicated to both Judy and Anita who suggested to me that the lyrics from this song would fit perfectly in a B/J story. I agree and I hope you will enjoy it too. The setting is right after Brian proposes to Justin and is turned down. This is a What if? story so I've changed Brian's response to the rejection. I want to acknowledge the wonderful lyrics of the song which belong entirely to the lyricist Jerry Herman. I also want to thank my dear friend, Pat for her beta skills and my Granddaughter, Amy for the breathtaking banner.

This time I'm going back to my beginning and giving you a sequel to the original story. This time I'm sending our boys to Europe instead of Chicago. I hope you'll enjoy the mischief this wonderful couple get into. I must offer my deepest thanks to a group of ladies who have made this journey for me the greatest adventure of my life. I dedicate this story to Judy who became my beta as well as good friend...to Lori who provided the means for me to continue writing and become a dear personal friend...to Becky and Gerri for their support even before I began...and to dear sweet Sunny who also went from reader to wonderful friend. There are so many more I could name for their cherished support, but I don't want to turn this dedication into a short story too. LOL! Let's just say that I truly appreciate each and every one of you. A special thank you to my darling Granddaughter, Marika, for again providing such a great banner for my story. I hope you will enjoy! Much love, Grammy

This little story is just for fun. It's a combination gap-filler and what if. What if Brian suddenly shows signs of being allergic to poor Justin only a couple of weeks after they have gotten back together following the Fiddler Fiasco? What could be causing the problem? And is Brian doomed to avoid his favorite bed-mate thanks to his 'problem'. I hope you will enjoy the humor of the situation, although Brian certainly doesn't seem to be. Many big thanks to my friend Pat for beta help and my beautiful Granddaughter Amy for the banner.
