Note to my Visitors:  With the news in 2013 of a television take on "12 Monkeys", I have had some renewed requests to view my Trilogy of Fan Fiction sequels from 2008.  The legal notice I received from Universal Studios was enough to make me take them down in 2010, I thought forever.  But after the SyFy serial plays out, which will undoubtedly take the story in a very different direction from my own vision, maybe I'll make mine available for viewing once again.  If you want to see what the supporting website looked like, 2008-10, I have an archived image here.  I had a lot of fun with it!

However, my work did not go to total waste.  I adapted the stories (tore them apart and reassembled them) into an apocalyptic trilogy of my own:  "The Mawr Pneumonica".   The main character is named Rose Morrison, with a different personality from Kathryn Railly.  But this epic trilogy is, after all, an adaptation of my 12 Monkeys sequels, which were all you ever wanted to know about what happened to Kathryn following the airport scene. 

It's hard to calculate how much of my 12M sequels remain; overall, perhaps 2/3rds.  But there's no time travel, no James Cole, the virus isn't spread by some guy flying around the world in an airplane, and no one's living underground afterward.  There are, however, scientists (as would be expected in any pandemic story), though not as many as in 12M.  And to a degree, since I enjoy that type of story-telling so much, if you were to read my Trilogy you might just imagine Terry Gilliam directing it!

If you're interested, "The Mawr Pneumonica" is up on my author's website, with a free preview of the first 10% or so:
