Your Fic came to me as recommended. I've thoroughly enjoyed it and hope you will continue writing it. I thought it was a completed work so I was bummed that it wasn't complete. So the wait begins...
thanjs fir sharing your talent.

That was so sweet, I just wanted to hug them both!Edward might as well start thinking along the same lines as Bella, because she's not going to let it go, about changing her! It wouldn't hurt for him to be just a tad selfish and keep her with him forever!
Author's Response:
Lol, they did have a kind of wonderful/terrible day, the poor kids.
I agree with you abt changing Bella. We shall see what Edward thinks... ;)
Thank you for reading and reviewing!

The combination of Victoria and James will be more than enough to deal with now! I wonder if Edward will think more about Jasper's suggestion of turning Bella? It sure would be one way to protect her from a lot of dangers!
Author's Response:
Mmmmmm....he might!
Date: 24 Aug 2014 9:15 PM Title: Chapter 21
Some other vampire was there, below them I'm almost certain! Probably Victoria or James, about to make trouble! Just when Bella was making progress, too!
Author's Response:
There is some other vampire, but I'm not telling. Fortunately, the next chapters are up! Thanks for reviewing! xo

Very brave of Bella to declare her love for Edward, especially without hearing the words from him first! Of course we already know Bella is a bit ahead of her time, being raised by her forward-thinking mother! I'm glad she has convinced Edward it's natural for her to love him, and not a result of some "vampire magnetism"!
Author's Response:
lol, it was a tough sell, but he finally believes her. He did tell her he loved her, back in the meadow, and once or twice since. Thanks for your comments, as always. Mwah! - Linda
Date: 12 Aug 2014 9:54 PM Title: Chapter 19 - Comburere
No relief from Victoria's predations, it seems. She picked the wrong victim this time, since Carlisle seems to have n o pity for her! I'm curious as to how Edward and Carlise came to be together and for how long? If Victoria hasn't envenomated Esme, surely Carlisle won't let her go back to that animal of a husband, only to be beaten again?
Author's Response:
Good questions - you'll have answers very soon!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I enjoy hearing them!

Date: 12 Aug 2014 9:36 PM Title: Chapter 18 - Historical Note
Thank you for the historical notes, I found them interesting, but not necessary. I guess some people are a bit on the picky side, or else have never paid much attention to history! I never found anything objectional in what Edward and Bella did with each other!
Author's Response:
Thanks for saying so! But yeah, some people thought it was wacky, so I figured I'd address it. I'm trying to keep things appropriate for the time as much as I can.

I think Alice is correct and Bella has made a momentous decision. She and Edward shared a wonderful day, including the time with Mrs. Bundy, and it no doubt cemented her thinking about Edward!
Author's Response:
Almost entirely correct! Tomorrow is another day... ;)

Oh, if only things could be as sweet and lovely for them always! However, I know that won't happen, so I'll adjust my seatbelt and hang on for the ride!
Author's Response:
Sweet and lovely wouldn't make much of a story, though...we'd have to say "Hapilly Ever After, The End." ;) But I know what you mean. :)
Thanks for reviewing!

This story has been such a wonderful surprise! I am loving both Edward and Bella -- the layerers of the story go from sweet to romantic to scary to mysterious. I can't wait to read what happens next.
Author's Response:
I'm so glad you're enjoying the story! I especially appreciate what you said about it having layers - that makes it challenging, but also great fun to write. Thank you so much for reviewing. It means the world, in part because it's the only way authors have of knowing anyone is reading! ;) You're one of the good ones! xo
Date: 15 Jul 2014 3:56 AM Title: Cognoscere

Thank you! You're such a dear to review every chapter. It makes me smile to know that you're still reading. :)

The plot thickens, indeed! It had to happen, I suppose, that evil Victoria would meet up with evil James Hunter, and she would change him for a newborn companion! This, I'm sure will become a danger to Bella and Edward's future happiness! I shudder to think of the possibilities!
Author's Response:
Yes, Victoria and James were in cahoots long before Hunter ran into Bella at the boarding house. Victoria must have a soft spot for him, to follow him all the way to Sacramento and agree to change him. Definitely trouble. ;)
Thank you for reviewing!!

I hope his passionate declaration has allayed Bella's fears! She seems to have no trouble hearing Edward's past, except for sympathy over what hurt him! Now that Alice and Jasper have joined the Cullens, I hope Bella visits soon!
Date: 04 Jul 2014 1:44 AM Title: Outtake: Caesula
It's such a foreign concept to Americans, but in those times, slaves had no rights, even over their own bodies! A sickening thought, but thank heavens one that no longer exists in our country, at least!
Author's Response:
Yes, it was completely acceptable for men to avail themselve of their slaves, male and female. Caesula didn't want Eduardus to tell anyone she'd used him because it was less acceptable for women to do so, largely because (of course) their husbands didn't want them conceiving children with anyone but them. But there are accounts of women who were like Caesula, sadly.
Thank you for commenting! xo
Date: 04 Jul 2014 1:32 AM Title: Outtake: Caesula
So sad. Can't wait to read more.

Your wish is my command - new chapter should be up now! ;)

Edward has bared his soul to Bella and I feel she is about to do the same to him!

We can hope. ;) Thanks for reading and reviewing! - Linda
Date: 22 Jun 2014 8:01 AM Title: Chapter 11 - Aperire
Awesome. When ever I finish reading chapters from this story I'm so excited for more.
Author's Response:
!!! That just made my day! Thank you!
Date: 22 Jun 2014 2:31 AM Title: Chapter 11 - Aperire
If he's as smart as he's supposed to be, Edward will quickly explain what he does drink, now that Bella has guessed what he is! I think that her horror will disappear when she learns that he does not drink from humans.
Date: 19 Jun 2014 12:19 AM Title: Chapter 10 - Dedere
Now Bella knows a major thing about Edward, and she doesn't care! He has to be somewhat happy about that! It makes sense to her that he saved her from Hunter with those accentuated abilities, so why should she fear them? I'm only sorry that Rose and Esme are taking him to Sacramento alive! I fear he means to return and avenge himself on Bella!Thanks for the late night cup of tea with Bella and Edward!

Beautiful
Date: 18 Jun 2014 7:43 AM Title: Chapter 9 - Confidere
That was scary, right up until Edward threw Hunter awayfrom Bella! Too bad he didn't just end the slimeball right then! It's a bigger danger that Victoria is after Bella, but James always gives me the creeps! I hate men that take pleasure from hurting women, and he's the poster child! I'm so glad that Edward is encouraged by Bella's trust!
Date: 18 Jun 2014 5:47 AM Title: Chapter 9 - Confidere
Love this story.
Author's Response:
Thank you - that's wonderful to hear! <3
Date: 15 Jun 2014 7:57 AM Title: Chapter 8 - Reperire
Lol. Love it.
Author's Response:
Thanks! That scene was very fun to think of and write. I love Bella falling on her ass in surprise. :D
Date: 15 Jun 2014 3:09 AM Title: Chapter 8 - Reperire
That little scenario was funny as well as startling! I'm already not a fan of Aunt Katherine, she sounds mean and sour, with a dash of cruelty thrown in for good measure! I'm also very concerned about this new boarder, James Hunter, who just might be a vampire and in league with Victoria! Even if he's human, he won't be a good guy, I'm sure!
Author's Response:
You've been reading over my shoulder, haven't you? lol... but yeah, you're right on the money about everything. Thank you for reviewing! xo
Date: 15 Jun 2014 12:30 AM Title: Chapter 7 - Aestuere
I was wondering how the fire started,and now we have our answer! Victoria just can't let Edward go or find happiness with another! Too bad the Volturi didn't take her head all those years ago! I hope he finds out soon what the real danger is and who brings it!
Author's Response:
She's a slippery one, that Victoria, though not in the canon way. Edward's going to have a hard time dealing with her!
Thank you for reviewing! xoxo
Date: 15 Jun 2014 12:22 AM Title: Chapter 6 - Concremare
Poor Bella, losing her beloved father so suddenly! Thankfully Edward was there to save her from the fire! He must have been her angel, breaking in through the glass and leaping with her to safety! Or, perhaps it was Carlisle?
Author's Response:
:) Time will tell. I love your questions. Thank you for reviewing!!
Date: 14 Jun 2014 12:36 AM Title: Chapter 5 - Incendere
Never having experienced it before in his very long life, I can't fault Edward for not recognizing that pull in his chest while apart from Bella. If you have never loved, how are you to know what it feels like? Bless Carlisle for his loving research for Edward! Wonder when their meeting will take place?
Author's Response:
Their meeting is coming soon - Sorry for the slow burn! I'm really loving your comments. I'm glad Edward's reactions make sense to you! Please feel free to let me know if they don't. :) - Linda
Date: 14 Jun 2014 12:28 AM Title: Chapter 4 - Adolere
Ever willing to sacrifice himself for the good of others. I see. Guess a leopard really doesn't change those spots, much. I do have a question, if she lives a mile out of town, whose door was Bella coming out of when he and Rose saw her ?
Author's Response:
It's not really important to the story, but she was visiting someone - an old lady she helps with her garden. It's mentioned at the end of Chapter 5. :) Thank you for reviewing!

Yay! More is coming today. Thanks for reviewing! :)
Date: 12 Jun 2014 9:00 PM Title: Chapter 3 - Inflammare
Over eighteen hundred years and Edward finally finds his singer, that's a long, long time to wait! Can't wait to hear about who all is here and in the family and why! Washington is about to become a state in the next ten years and was still pretty much the frontier, so I'm happy you chose to get this far in the timeline. As for the missing fifteen hundred or so years in between here and 1192 London, I'm sure anything will be fascinating!
Author's Response:
What a great review - thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! :) I really enjoy hearing them.
Date: 12 Jun 2014 6:56 PM Title: Chapter 2
So, Victoria, of all people! Who would have thought? I loved the threat, and the information that Eduardus knows Carlisle. Wonder what she will tell him, and if it will be enough to save her? I can tell this is going to be a favorite!
Author's Response:
Love that you're "getting" everything! Thank you very much for the reviews! -Linda
Date: 12 Jun 2014 6:51 PM Title: Chapter 1: Lamia
In a strange way, this unamed vampire has obtained what she/he craved, Eduardus immortal. Thus, somewhere in time and in the world, he will exist and can be found again! Intriguing start to a story.

You're the first to say so (people are also reading on other sites), and you have it exactly right! Glad you're intrigued. :)
