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

Well done.  Hope there is more soon.



Author's Response: More to come soon, I promise.  Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

 
Summary: Past Featured Story

An appealing Hunt turns up right under the brothers' noses and it's smiles all round for Sam. But in this game, nothing is what it seems.

Mid-season 2, no spoilers.

Rated T for innuendo and mild language.

I really like your writing style.  It's smooth and flowing.  You have the guys down pretty good also.  I also like the pacing, makes me want to keep going on.

Good job.

Too funny, love Sam's response.  I also liked that Jessica saw the article and recongnized it just a little for what it was.

Intriguing.  I can't wait to go on and find out how all this works out.

Yikes.  Dean had best be just fine when all of this is over!  Great story.

Funny!  But I have to say that I'm insulted that you would consider "The Big Easy" a classic - I'm NOT that old!  Great movie though (even if I did see it when it fist came out).  Enjoyed the story.

Author's Response:

Hi! Ta for all the chapter comments!

I do consider 'The Big Easy' a classic - not cos of time, but in an undiscovered witty piece of amusement, LOL

Just for fun, the other night I made me flatmate watch the DVD with me and she loved it. Makes me laugh my arse off every time Remy handcuffs those two to his car and reads them 'their rights', LOL

Ta for reading and reviewing!

Okay, I want to know what was in the enveolpe!  Good job. 

Author's Response: Thanks!  I left the envelope purposely vague.  Basically, Dean was being inquisitive and opened it, what was in the envelope incapacitated him so the witch could tie him up in the closet.

 
Summary:

Sam goes missing, again, and Dean has to find him. Too bad for Dean something's after him too, and it's not necessarily supernatural either.

Huge thanks to bulletbabe for another awesome banner, she is totally awesome!!

Ha ha, just kidding.  Glad you like it!

Not confused at all.  Although I am intrigued.  Can't wait for the update.  You managed to do long speaches without being tedious....well done!  Those are so hard to do without loosing the train of throught.

Thanks for a great read.



Author's Response: Thanks for saying it wasn't confusing.  I'm glad it was my own head messing with itself, and thank you for reading it!

Summary: Past Featured StoryJohn in Hell knew exactly what was happening in Cold Oak. In fact he had known what was happening to his boys the whole time since he made the deal. Now he had the front row seat to Sam’s death and Dean’s deal. And just how did he know?? The demons in Hell made sure he knew, that’s how… 

And how did he get out??

I just left a great review but I'd timed out so it disappeared.  Anyway, I don't usually like stories that go over what happened in episodes but this was brilliantly done.  I felt all the emotions I did the first time I watched the episode and to read it from John's point of view was heart wrenching. 

Have fun on your trip.  I look forward to being able to continue this story when you are back.

Thank you.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for such an huge compliment! I have been keeping up with your work (lurking while I am writing *cringe* but back to reviewing shortly...) and such a comment from you is much appreciated and highly valued.

Don't you just hate it when you time out! That's happened to me heaps of times and I just wanted to cry in frustration!

Great story.  Love the two old women.  I love they work the guys into doing what's best for them. 

Starting out the story with an ending hunt was great and now I'm anticipating what's going to come next.

 Looking forward to more.



Author's Response: Yeah now I just have to pick a baddy and find something to hunt...lol.  Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for reading - K

I like the idea of the guys investigating a non supernatural case.  still loving the two women, those are two tough old ladies.  Thanks for a great read.

Author's Response: Man I'm always so happy to hear that an outside character is working for you guys.. Though I love the boys, I love their interaction with others just as much.  Glad you're enjoying and thanks for the review - K

Gads, I love these women.  I hope they aren't bad....they'd better not be bad!

Can't wait for more.



Author's Response: LOL, so glad you're enjoying.  And no worries, the aunts aren't bad, just pushy...lol.  Glad you like - Kel

I still absolutely love these two old ladies - don't we all wish that's who we could be when we get that age?

Still enjoying the story.  Thanks for a great read.



Author's Response: I absolutely agree, how nice to have that much get up and go....I think mine energy's already gotten up and left ;)  Glad you're enjoying - Kel

I love these two women, never take no for an answer.  If that's the answer then just do what you wanna do anyway.  Love it.  I can't wait to see what Bobby and the women do to save the boys and the baby.

Wonderful story that I have been enjoying very much.



Author's Response: Thanks so much for the stars lostatc and for the comment it always means a lot when a writer you respect gives you the thumbs up and tells you they've been enjoying ;)  Kel

Do you think we will ever get that moment in the show - you know the one where Sam actually thanks his brother for raising him or acknowledges Dean was more of a father than John was?  Me either so thanks for your story.

Author's Response:

I think your right, we won't see that, but if we do, that will become my new favourite episode! Thanks for the review lostatc, and I love your work.

Beautiful descriptions.  I would've loved more of the story but this works so wonderfully that I can be happy without it.

Author's Response:

Howdy!

Thank you so much for your review :) I was actually writing more but then I cut it because it seemed to ruin the flow and the over all finality of the piece...and plus it was growing late and my writing skills were slowly going down the sink hole lol! But thank you for wanting more, you're very kind, thank you again!

-Bex

 
Summary: The prayer in his heart doesn't translate to words because there are no words for the desperate ache, the desperate longing.  He bows his head and his whole body trembles with it. And then there are words; childish words, reflexive words. God, give me my brother and I swear I will never doubt you again.
