Amore Tutto Cambia, Two Worlds Collide and Jacob's Downfall

Amore is my first one shot and was written for the charity compilation for AJD earlier this year. I'm proud of the money that was raised for this wonderful charity! Thanks to every one that donated. Amore will be released for posting on FFn May 3, 2012.
Jacob's Downfall is a LDTW outtake for the Fandom For No Kid Hungry compilation. Editing is being completed and the teaser had been submitted to the Fandom4NKH blog. Will be submitting my story soon so please donate to this worthy cause.
Two Worlds Collide is my newest full length and first AU fic, and I am very excited to get this one rolling. No psoriasis in this one, but if you're a more mature reader, you might enjoy this storyline. :) I hope to begin TWC this weekend. Maybe have the first chapter posted by May 6th. Thanks!

Thank you, Fandom Fanatic!!

With no personal laptop (yes, still no laptop. Had to pay on too much taxes to get one when I planned) I've had to resort to asking for help adding affiliates and buttons to the blog. Credoroza a.k.a. Fandom Fanatic has graciously helped me with adding these buttons and links, and I can't tell her THANK YOU enough. She's added a link to all of the interviews and write-ups (to my knowledge) that LDTW has had since its inception. Please feel free to click the links and check out the wonderful reviews and articles.

Thanks to the lovely @Agrutle for the sweet review and write up. It's an honor and a blessing to be recognized. Thanks as always to @kare831, @twimom817 and @darcysmom for making my work look and sound so much better than I could alone.

Two Worlds Collide

Introducing my newest fic, Two Worlds Collide. Mel K@vbfb19 has outdone herself again and made me a gorgeous banner. Thanks a million, bb!! <3 I'll be starting TWC very soon and I'm excited to branch out into the AU world, and the Edward I fell in love with.
Brief synopsis of TWC:
Bella is a thirty-something English professor with a secret addiction to the Twilight Saga, especially Edward. What happens when tragedy befalls Bella causing her RL and the fantasy world to collide? Can relationships grow and survive in a world that can't exist? I hope all my LDTW readers and new readers alike will give TWC a shot.

A beautiful LDTW review to share!

Rebadams7 left this lovely poem as her final review. She's allowing me to repost. Thank you for the sweet words.

There was a girl
Who closed her world
When ignorant barbs let fly
She built her walls
And quietly crawled
Tears and years roll by
There was a boy
Straight and true
Searching for dragons to slay
He spied the tower
And knew inside
The dragon held court
Twas push and pull
The dragons eyes to find
He drew a sword
And praise the lord
The maiden fair did fall
Into his arms
Against all charms
He'd thought his challenge
Run
But one dark night
Again did light
Upon the girl now maiden fair
No troth to plight
He made the fight
To steal a prize so rare
She'd filly with might
The live made right
And gave in all a stomp
Venged father roused
And justice tromped
The slimy villain doused
Thus cupids pair
In future fair
In twilights sweet embrace
Bright future theirs to face

So moved by this. Glad I could share.

The final regular chapter of LDTW is live!

Hard to believe. I'm sad, happy, relieved, accomplished, satisfied and honestly a little lost. This has been the most spectacular ride!! Many thanks to my editing team, kare831, twimom817 and darcysmom, for keeping me honest and making my writing look much better than I do in the pre-published stage. I love you three like family now. Thanks to Mel K/vbfb19 for the sweet banner and subsequent graphics I asked for. Thanks to anillicitwriter for creating my blog and manips, and for her and Credoroza maintaining said blog when I didn't have access to a computer. Thanks to all the readers and blogs that have rec'd and written articles about LDTW or me as a writer. Thanks to whoever nominated LDTW and me in the Sunflower Awards. These seemingly little things made my confidence grow and made me want to do better work. I guess that's all for now. Love each and everyone who's read, alerted, favorited or reviewed my story. It's been an honor. See you with chapter one of my new fic soon!

Chapter 35 LDTW teasers

Hope to post the final chapter of LDTW later today. Here are a few pics (some repeated) to whet your appetite.

Plot bunny has bitten me yet again!!

I was having a conversation tonight with my good friend and one of my beta's, kare831, and we were talking about a pic I posted of my little 3 month old nephew and that I "almost" wanted another baby (mine are almost 23 and 20). One thing led to another, and a new fic idea formed. I've been wanting to write vamp E but couldn't find an original idea that I liked. Anyhow, I made a decision to give this a try. Bella is a forty year old with a fascination with the Twilight movies/books and a huge Edward addiction. She gets pulled into the fiction world where she meets 17 year old vamp Edward pre-Twilight novel. What happens when two worlds collide? Can a relationship be made in a world that can't be real? What about the age difference? Edward always said he was content to stay by Bella's side as she grew old. Let me know what you think! I'm excited to start this as soon as LDTW is complete.

Just signed up to write for F4NKH!!!

Just signed up to write an outtake from LDTW for F4NKH (Fandom for No Kid Hungry). I'm very excited to contribute to such a worthy cause. As a mom, I cannot stand the thought of someone's child going through life hungry. It's just not acceptable. My story will be entitled "Jacob's Downfall". For my readers, it will be focused on the time between Jacob leaving La Push to go back to Bella at the cabin through the end of the chapter. Please make sure to contribute to this cause and you will receive a wonderful compilation of work from some very talented authors. Thanks in advance! http://nokidhungry.org/

Dare To Wear Black-Psoriasis campaign




NATIONAL PSORIASIS FOUNDATION

Dare to wear black
by managing your scalp psoriasis

Wednesday, April 25 | 5-6 p.m. PST

Black goes with everything, but, if you have scalp psoriasis, it can be the last color you want to wear. Scalp psoriasis and flaking are tough to control, and are often so visible that some people throw away their black cocktail dress or refuse to wear a favorite black T-shirt.

Please join us for an informative discussion about scalp psoriasis and its treatment options with dermatology nurse practitioner Melodie Young and hairdresser and psoriasis patient Fran Klapow. They will "get to the root" of the matter, sharing advice and experiences and providing you with ideas you may have never tried before.

Teaser for chapter 34 LDTW

Jake had been gone for hours. Part of me was glad. I didn't want to know what he had planned for me when he returned. I'd never been so wrong about someone in my life. He was evil. Hatred oozing from his pores. He'd not gone into any detail, but I knew. I was paying for Leah's sins.

Proud to be from Big Blue Nation!!

Sorry, this isn't Twilight related, but it has been a necessary distraction in my house. Shout out to BBN!! Proud of my UK Wildcats for bringing the championship hardware back to the state of Kentucky! That is all.
