Welcome to Bombshells ~ Series #1
Welcome to the series of Bombshells - arguably one of my most popular pieces of writing.. What begun as a simple Jack/Daniel/Angst/ Will they?/Won't They? story took on a life of its own when I created a character called Philip Simmons.
Philip was 'supposed' to
appear in one scene, in one part, in the first series. In fact, there
wasn't going to be 'further' series of this story. It was due to end soon
after the encounter between Jack and Daniel at Daniel's apartment... Only I
didn't count on Philip (who was making a small appearance in that scene)
capturing the hearts of so many readers - so darn quickly!
After posting the part where Philip made his entrance, I was inundated with emails from readers saying "I love Philip. Will we see more of him?"
I was like, "Um, gee, you weren't meant to...." but I decided to see where this could go. So I allowed my muses to romp in my head and Philip started to take on more of a life of his own.
He was recently nominated for Best Original Character, but - alas - he didn't get enough votes! Not to worry - to me, and to many, many others - hee is a winner :)
Especially to Jack....
So, Let me warn you please, this is a LONG story and it is not a love-story between Jack and Daniel - rather a 'best-buddies' story for those two, though their friendship goes through some very rough patches.
This story deals with HIV and later, full blown AIDS. It does have the death of a beloved character (Series 3) but I hope you'll stick around for the whole ride.
This hasn't always been the easiest of stories to write - but for some reason, Phili drives me on to write it. Research went into this (I researched this story better than I've been known to research stuff for my Uni Degree - and as I scored Distinctions (highest mark) on my Uni studies, you have some idea of how much I researched this. Please be aware that while all caution has been taken by me, the writer, in my research of the topic of AIDS and HIV status, this work is NOT set in stone and do not use the information here as any kind of guideline to treating/handling AIDS infected people.
Philip Simmons remains my
character.
* All five~foot~ten~inches of him..
* All long, shaggy black curly hair of
him..
* All cimmerian shimmering dark eyes of him...
* All witty repartee of him..
* All round nice guy image of him....
..... and what parts I don't own.. Jack does instead ;-D
Every inch of Philip Simmons belongs to me (I wish!) . Please do not plagiarize him..

I hope you enjoy Bombshells, Series 1 and please remember that I don't get monetary reward for my hours of work - the only reward I get is a note from you telling me you read it and if you enjoyed it. Please take a moment to drop me a line.. nessessitee@iprimus.com.au
