Hi All,

So, my name is Kim.  I live in California at the moment but we've lived all over - Oregon, California, Oregon, Guam, Texas, Maryland, California, Japan, Great Britain and then Virginia.  I love moving and going to new places.  My husband has now retired after 20 years of military service and that gave us an amazing life.   

I have three kids who are nearly as fanatical about Supernatural as I am - hard to believe I know.  They are growing up so fast that it scares me. 

I have few hobbies but writing is one of them and, I have to say, the most satisfying.  I also enjoy photography.  My favorite thing to do on a bright sunny day is get in my Mini Cooper and drive someplace - any place.

I don't know what else to say about myself. 

I do want to say to everyone who reads - thank you.  I say it a lot but I really appreciate it that there are people out there reading what I write - wow, the rush that gives me! Review or not, thanks for reading.

Update:  I did something I never knew I'd do - I've written a series.  If you are interested in my Ben Braeden Winchester series read in this order:

Sword and Shield

To The Rescue

Choices

A Walk on the Wild Side

Torture for Torture's Sake

Milk Bottles

It's 24th January and Sam has a masterplan. Just for once, could things go The Boys' way?
More special guest appearances than you could poke in the eye with a stick to see if they're faking.
Rated T for language, F for farce and O for ‘oh no you didn’t’.

Exactly what I was hoping it'd end up being, a gathering of all the people they've interacted with (still alive).  I still love the interspersing of reality with the show and the fangirl was perfect! 

Dean is perfect, by the way.  He'd hate this and Sam would love standing back and smiling while watching Dean's discomfort. 

This is fabulous.

Excellent theory and one I'd love to see.  I agree with others - I can't stand Ruby and I think she's become less ambiguous this last episode.  It would be interesting were Ruby the ultimate big bad...but can the actress pull it off?

Thanks for a story to make me think about a possible ending to this all.

The story describes the culmination of the last 8 months during which Sam has sucumbed to the darkness within him and become the leader of the dominions of evil. He and Dean now face their final bitter and bloody confrontation.

by bulletbabe

Thank you Lou for my beautiful banner. I think you know how much it means to me. xx 

This is darker faire (bring a torch to light your way!) than my usual writing and may not be to your taste. It is rated M for theme and language and to all you Sammy girls - Mea Culpa!

Thanks as always to Kirsty for beta-ing me and to many friends for advice and help with this one. Special particular thanks to Jane for your invaluable help without which it might never have got to here (oh and i'l put pirates in the next one!).

And to Kripke - thank you for letting  me play a little with your beautiful boys.

To those who voted for my story in the Ungen awards...Thank you, you made my day!

My last review for you was just one word and, as you know , it's because the words I read were so beautifully written. 

This story has a completely different feel.  One of the things I love best about your stories is that your "voice" changes with the story.  In this story your voice is short, sharp and to the point.  It compliments the story so perfectly and makes the reader feel the pain and the anguish that the characters are feeling.  There was pain in "Vampyre Kiss" but there was beauty in that pain - as there should be with a vampire tale -"Darkness" isn't supposed to have that same beauty.  We are meant to be in the darkness that the brothers are in and we are meant to find our own way out of the darkness, just as they are.  An amazingly written tale!

Thanks for an amazing read, Bev, you are truly one of the most talented writers I've ever had the pleasure to experience.

Well that about makes my day hunny...that is such a nice review! This one is grittier and earthier as is the mood of the piece, as was my mood when i wrote it.

I enjoyed every minute of this story.  Always a wonder how Sam got through his childhood clueless to the people that populated his life.  I liked this moment for him to have a glimpse into his brother's childhood.

I'm looking forward to the next story.



Author's Response:

Thanks!  I always enjoy hearing your thoughts on the Winchesters and my stories.  I find it fascinating how different characters perceive events differently.  With the age difference, Sam was shielded from a lot of what went on.

Dean was forced to be an adult with John and Sammy was the only one allowed to be a child.  I love protective Dean and he was an awesome big brother, but I also love seeing Sam realize all the sacrifices and then want to step up and take care of Dean too.

Their childhoods are so very intriguing because it shaped their views now and the men they became.  Thanks again, B.J.

Wonderful come back and I accept your peace offering. 

I would love to know more but a part of me feels it's too much.  There is no way to handwave this one or give the television fix - Sam is going to have that scar for the rest of his life and I don't know if I can stomach it. 

Your descriptions were exquisitely, painfully accurate.  I love the juxtaposition between sound/no sound, movie/no movie - it made it all feel so real because when the unthinkable happens time ceases to exist and our thougts are not our own and our senses are out of control. 

Brilliant.

Looking forward to rereading all your stuff that you are updating so I can remember your stories.  I had you listed as one of my favorite authors for a reason - now I am reminded why.



Author's Response:

I totally agree - Sam's going to have that scar forever. That's why I decided to list it as AU too. I might be willing to brave one more chapter, though, just to see what happens.

 And I'm honored to be one of your 'fave authors' - hopefully I can continue to earn the place I hold on that list!

Beautiful, very beautiful.  I read one of your responses to a review and I agree with you, there were two John Winchesters, one before the fire and one after.  It is the true tragedy of the story and the one that has to be learned by the brothers, we have to move on from tragedy not be consumed by it. 

Thank you for the opportunity for a cathartic read, very necessary sometimes.

It took a split second, the longest split second in Dean's life to understand. And once he did, he wanted to scream even louder than Sam had just seconds before. The realization pulled the floor out from under Dean's feet.

Bobby to the rescue!  Yea!  I knew he'd save the day.  And danged if I don't hate Ruby even more. 

Well written, great pacing.  And to tell this from the point of view of someone who can't do or say anything, well done.  Its a style that some TV shows have tried lately to varying success but you do it very well in this story.  The temptation to take this from Dean and put it in Sam's POV must be overwhelming. 

I could go on and gush but I think I've made my point.

Thanks for a great read, I'm looking forward to the rest.



Author's Response:

I have to admit that the temptation to shift pov *is* overwhelming. And I very nearly did, after the first two or three chapters. Simply for the reason that sticking with one perspective, and being unable to write any gestures, expressions or movements to underline what is being said or thought is a lot harder than I thought it would be.

But I decided ot stick with it, and in the end I'm glad with how it came out, no matter the temptation. I'm thrilled beyond words that you like it so much, and that it seemingly came across the way I wanted it to.

Thanks a lot for the great reviews, I really appreciate that you reviewed along as you read the single chapters.

Somehow, that actually sounds kinda scary... Imagining a mini!Bobby peched on your shoulder, whispering in your ear here. eep!

Knives and lives, songs and wrongs, bitches and stitches - and not necessarily in that order. An old friend needs The Boys. But as usual, it isn't as simple as it first appears.

Obviously I have a story to find that involves these characters.  Love Moon and can't wait to find out more about her.

Your Pam is perfect.  Dean and Sam perfect as usual...I'm so glad that you're posting again.  I can't wait for more.



Author's Response:

I was worried people would think this was a sequel to 'A Helluva Level Of Malevolence', but it's not and nothing that happens is anything to do with where Moon originally appeared. Sorry if that's confused anyone. 

But thanks for feedback on Pamela - I absolutely love her character and thought it was about time I tried my hand at her. Glad it's worked out so far...

Thanks for reading and reviewing! And the stars - better than pie!

As for the story, it's beautiful.  I like its familiarity with "Footprints in the Sand."  And you're right, on some level Dean has great faith, he just insists on questioning it.
