Author Profile
In my personal life, I'm a pharmacist, and a mom and grandmaw. I share my home with my daughter, granddaughter, 3 cats and 4 gerbils. I've always loved to read and discovered science fiction in Junior High when I picked up "Have Spacesuit, Will Travel" by Robert Heinlein. As far as fannish activity goes, I lurked for a long time, attending Houston, TX area conventions in the late 70s and 80s, but I didn't really know anyone and was too shy to try to introduce myself to other fans there. It wasn't until I attended a Blake's 7 convention in New Orleans that I started really getting to know other fans, and that was my first introduction to zines and fanfic. I loved it and craved more. A local fan club I joined decided to publish its own zine, (Standard by Several), so my first attempt at writing was for that. Since then I have written several zine published stories for Blake's 7 and Highlander. I was hooked on The Sentinel from the first episode. The story was interesting and I thought the sidekick was a real hoot. It's the first fandom I've been in since I got online, which is another fascinating experience. The fanfic available online is staggering in number and, with The Sentinel in particular, amazing in quality. The most important thing I have discovered in fandom is the friends I've made, here in Houston and everywhere else. It feels like I have a great big, extended family all over the world, and sharing my fanfic and participating at cons and online is like coming home.– Jamie Ritchey at Cascade Library (last updated 14 November 2005)
