A life long lover of westerns, Joan was immediately smitten when she first saw Lancer in daily reruns back i

Lorraine Mumaw lives in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. She and her siblings watched every genre show around. If the show had science fiction or fantasy elements, they loved it and most they watched with the blessings and active participation of their parents. Lorraine, however, also liked Westerns. Many of Lorraine’s favorite shows were canceled before their time, which left an itch she could not satisfy until she discovered fan fiction, and fanzines in the eighties. Her first fandoms were British shows like Blake’s Seven and Dr Who, but she soon expanded to American shows.(Far too many.)

Her interest in Lancer began when the show was first aired. Lancer, along with The Quest, Laredo and Wagon Train, was one of her favorites. When she discovered Karen’s site, she was ecstatic. Soon that led her to several lists, and to her first online posting.

Lorraine has written in many fandoms, ROS, Hercules, TLG, Equalizer and Highlander, among others, but never a western. This is her first foray into that genre.

Lorraine works for a Honda dealership as a bookkeeper, a job she never would have envisioned while she was enjoying herself earning an Anthropology degree in college. For herself, she belongs, and is very active in the Masonic fraternity, the Order of the Eastern Star, and writes and reads fan fiction.
