I started these stories when I first began writing UFO. The original story, which I never continued, was, to be honest, dreadful!
And, on reading the early Rachel stories, I have to admit to blushing with real embarrassment. Yes, they are the product of someone who had no concept of canon, or even what the characters were really like. I was working from memories that were far too old, so my characters were…..well, ‘warped’ is probably the best description. I had the incorrect spelling of one name, Shroeder, in several stories, but I went with the common English spelling (Schroeder) and my beta reader at that time didn’t pick it up either, so I don’t feel too ashamed.
The main thing is that I wrote them with love and passion and a heartfelt longing for more adventures of Ed Straker and Alec Freeman and Paul. I tried my best.
They get better as they progress ! Honestly. ( but don’t bother reading Redacted )
Anyway. Here they are. Unexpurgated, untouched and available to read. (well.. I have to admit I did tweak some stories- I LIKE Paul Foster now!)
Just don’t laugh too much. Please.
Ltcdr: I don’t pretend to be a writer, I don’t pretend to be an artist. I do this just for fun.
