*IMPORTANT news...please read!!!* (5/1/2023)


Update: Hi guys! Long time no see, very sorry about that :( Some of you know why I haven't posted new chapters of my stories these past few years, some of you don't. I promise to explain what happened during all of that time, soon.


So, guess what? I have some good news!!! I'm planning to post NEW chapters of If Only and Turning Page in the very near future!! I have not, nor will ever, give up on writing these stories. No matter how long it takes! Hopefully not too long though!


**In other news...I'm working on a new story! Make sure to put me on author alert so that you stay up to date. The story is titled Daylight, Bella/Edward pairing of course! I'll be posting it on here later this year. More details to come :) I'm SO excited to share this story with you all! I'm in love with the storyline and with my Bellward in it, I think you all will love them too :)


More updates: I plan on posting updates of If Only first, since there will be about 8 chapters left of that story. Yep, we are almost to the end of that story folks! As I've seen it in my mind, from the beginning, IO is a shorter story. Whereas Turning Page, there's still so much story left to tell. TP will take longer for me to finish, my apologies :( But, no matter what, I will finish it! I'm working on finishing outlining the rest of If Only right now. Then I plan to write as much chapters as I can before posting. I'll do the same with Turning Page. So, unfortunately, the new chapters won't post anytime soon, but not years from now either. I'm determined to publish them in the very near future!


Again, my deepest apologies for not posting new chapters in so long and for not updating you guys on here. Just remember, I have NOT given up on Turning Page and If Only!!! Please continue to be patient with me! I am doing my best to finally make the time write both TP and IO, and I'll post them as soon as they are ready!! Keep checking here for more updates. Thanks so much for your support! XO, Leslie

*My WIP's that are on hiatus/pulled*


For Eternity and Beautifully Broken: Unfortunately, both stories are still on hiatus, for now. I have plans to try and finish them in the near future. Most likely, after I wrap up If Only, I will try my best to get back to writing BB again, and evenutally FE as well. For more of an explanation, feel free to join my group on Facebook for my stories. It's titled Vampgirl79 Fanfiction.


About That Night: Unfortunately, I lost inspiration to write for this story and was stuck on where to take the rest of it. So after thinking long and hard, and talking to a fellow writer, I decided to allow KarenCullen2007 to adopt ATN. She concluded the story for me awhile back, be sure to look her up on here if you like to read the rest of the story. Thanks again Karen very much for finishing ATN for me! You did a great job with it!


Simply Fate: Sadly, I removed this story from all fanfic sites. My deepest apologies my SF readers. I don't want to say that I'll never continue it, I'm hoping in the future I'll have the inspiration to finish it :) As of now, unfortunately, I have no immediate plans to do so :(

Wow, loved this one hunny! I read it on Twiwrite but saw it here too. And since I'm over here more lol, thought i would review here ;) Anyway I really liked ths one. Im a Jake fan, well I'm not Team anything most days, lol. But I love Edward a bit more :) However I have no prob with Jake or wolf pack. But im finding out in this twi fandom that ppl are really Team Edward and not very open minded with stories, lol. I have many reviewers for my story who tell me they hate Jake and they hate that my Bella is with him but because they love my story so much they'll still read it lmao. I just think thats funny, lol. Anyway getting off track here. But I really enjoyed this take. It made me sad too I was heartbroken for bella. I cant believe Edward acted that way freakin jerk but Im not surprised I mean he does have these controlling, possessive tendencies, lol. Still love him though. But again you are a amazing writer. I just really love your work, ttys, *hugs, Leslie

Hi Lisa :) Wow, where do I begin? There's so much I want to say, it's overwhelming, lol, in a good way dont worry! First of all, I have to say you are insanely talented!!! I really believe on top of your Chemical Engineering, (very impressive btw, congrats!) you should write a novel of your own. it would be a shame if you didn't. You are wonderfully talented, you draw readers immediately into the world you created, your words are beautiful. I cant tell you how many times I shed a tear from reading a chappie or got choked up. That to me dear is amazing writing. I admit when I first saw this story on here I was skeptical to read it honestly because of the subject content. It really hitsclose to home for me as I'm a victim myself. But then something told me to read it, give it a try and Im so glad i did! Because hun you handle the subject matter beautifully. Because despite the horror of what Bella went thru, overall this story truly is about the healing power of love. My God your Edward is this, I just dont have the words, the tender way he is with Bella, how he selflessly and beautifully helps her through it all, just blows me away.

What I also enjoy is that there were also sweet, funny moments too. Personally I dont mind the repetitive POVS, because I enjoy getting into Edwrads head, finding out what he goes through during this sad ordeal. So now we get to where Jacob is finally out of her life. Damn I have to tell you, you threw us all for a loop, I didnt see that coming regarding Tanya, great job! What a witch. Damn though I'm glad Jacob is finally gone. But of course it will still take plenty of time for Bella to heal and honestly she will never really heal from it but she can start living her life agian, breathe easier, sleep better. Since she has Edward, the Cullens and Charlie, they will of course help her through it. I really look fwd to the next chapter, where the journey goes. But school comes first and again congrats! I will try to review more often, sorry I havent as of late. But i had to finally and tell you what I think :) Take care and ttys, Leslie



Author's Response:

Hi Leslie! 

I don't even know how to tell you how much your kind words mean to me. I just started writing this story on a spur-of-the moment thing, and then it took me a while to work up enough courage to keep going and post it. But reviews like yours make me very glad I did! And I can't thank you enough for giving my story a chance, despite the sensitive subject. It's definitely not always easy to read (or write). 

So glad you're liking Edward. *Sigh* I can't find someone as perfect in real life, so I'm just writing him instead. A girl can dream, right? Lol :-)

Well, I glad you like both POVs. Although I realize it can be repetitive at times, I really thought it was important to see how both Edward and Bella are feeling, especially in the earlier chapters. Ha ha, yeah, it seems no one was expecting Tanya! Very true--you never forget something like that but you can learn to live again and move on. 

Once again thank you for your immensely kind words--they totally blow me away! The thought of writing a novel--WOW, that's a scary thought, but so very flattering! I was having a bad day and you just made it a million times brighter! *HUGS*

Hi Lisa :) Sorry I took a bit to get here :( But let me tell you I was estatic to see a new chappie! My gosh hun thank you so very much because I know you have been working so incredibly hard on your thesis and yet you still managed to write out a chapter! It was well worth the wait :) Heartbreaking? Yes very much so but that was to be expected given what these two have been through. My God have Bella & Edward been through the ringer. What amazes me with this story is that besides the vamp/wolves aspect of it, the rest is very realistic. The way you write these characters emotions is raw and geninue. I really appreciate how you capture it all and how, as I said, make it realistic. Because in real life, it would take a long, long time for someone in Bella's situation to make it through a very tragic, horrific situation. Despite all that they went through and even though there was moments where they drifted apart, they still had their deep love and devotion for the other.

 

Thats what helped them unite back to each other, thats what will keep helping them through the long road ahead of them. But at least theres a bright side finally peeking out at the end of the long dark tunnel. Wow I was just so heartbroken for Bella because Edward kept her at arms length that really had to hurt. But then on the other side of things, which by the way Edwards pov as fantastic! You gave us a wonderful view into Edwards mind, emotions and where he was coming from. He is so blessed to not only have Bella in his life but the Cullens because there a loyal family through and through. The scenes with Edward explaining to them what Jacob had forced Edward to see, so beyond gut wrenching. The tender moments with Ed & Esme, then Ed & Carlisle, truly moved me. I especially loved the end of the chapter when we finally see some happiness for those two and some hope. Hun, i agree I personally dont think Charlie and Renee should know about the vamps and all. I think you made the right choice for you. Just remember dear its your story. Yes, all though we as authors want to please our readers as much as we can. But in the end, its about what we had envisioned, because well we wrote the story for ourselves, but we also love to share it with others, you get what I mean? Anyhow dear, again such a beautiful, sad, chapter. I have to say once more you have a way with words you truly, truly do! Well Lisa take care and look really forward to the next chapter, *hugs, Leslie



Author's Response:

Hi Leslie! Sorry for my late reply. But once again, I want to thank you for your very kind words. It truly means so much to know everything in this story is coming across the way I intended and that it's realistic (aside from the supernatural aspects, of course!). It is so true that it takes a long time to get past what these two have gone through. But things are definitely looking better for them now that they have talked through things. 

Thank you for your compliment on EPOV. I found his pov difficult to write. And I felt so bad for him, but at least he is lucky to have a family support system! 

You are right--I can't write anything I'm not happy with. even though I also like to please my readers. I totally know what you mean and thank you for reminding my what's important!

Big hugs!

Lisa

Hey Lisa :)

As always it's great to hear from you! No worries about the late response, I so understand :) I really can relate to how life can be lol. I'm just happy to hear from you and enjoy chatting with you back and forth! You are so welcome for what I said, I truly mean each and every word. I know it's a great feeling isn't it? The accomplishment you feel over writing what you exactly untended to and how it's touching so many others in many different ways. Again I have to say a lot of this story is very realistic and whats what makes it all the more special and just amazing. Yes exactly thank goodness after the ordeal they went through that things are finally looking up for them.

They certainly deserve it and I so look fwd to seeing what the next chapter brings for them and the ones after. I know its going to be fantastic. Haa, I so understand what you mean about writing Edwards pov. I am serious when I say you did a perfect job with it. You really have his character down to a T. Its not easy at all, as you said to write our sexy brooding Edward, lol. That's why I dont write his pov in my story. All though I will have his pov finally in a couple of chapters. I'm working on it now and yeah its a bit tough lol. Again, yes its very true, what it all comes down to is, you can write anything that you wont approve of and sometimes as much as you want to make the readers happy, you have to take the story in the direction you planned, no one else's, you know? You are so very welcome I know this from experience, lol. I found myself almost changing things many times because of readers responses or thinking of redoing a lot. Then I think, no this is my story and I will write it as I envisioned. Sure I may have tweaked it a bit here and there and defiantly take my readers suggestions to heart. Anyway, glad you got where I was coming from and you are welcome again, anytime. Looking fwd to reading the next chappie. Take care and ttys, BIG HUGS back, Leslie

Oh my gosh Lisa darling I missed you!! *hugs* I was beyond thrilled like had this huge smile on my face when I saw an update from you ;) Oh hun this chapter was perfect! I love a good filler chapter, well actually to me it wasnt really such a filler in a way. Everything in that chappie was important. I mean we all got a good look into what Bella is still going through. Her healing process her daily struggles. Its still going to take so much time. And unfortunately that trip she took to the store proved just that :( God I got teary eyed during that entire scene. My heart just broke for her. *shakes head* She has been through so damn much and like i said its still a long road ahead. But thankfully she has Edward, The Cullens, Charlie and Renee to help her through it. Speaking of Edward oh my gosh I cant say enough how much I adore your Edward! We have talked about this before. He is just so sweet, gentle, thoughtful, caring, I could keep going. I really really love his character. Awesome job hunny and I love your Bella too. Really they pretty much follow the books in a sense but you also did your own spin too. I mean character wise.

Anyhow and poor Charlie he is just at his wits end. He isnt sure what to do, say and I know its hurting him to see his daughter go through so much. I definetly agree with Edward, Charlie and Bella need to have a heart to heart and from there they can move on and Bella can let Charlie help her more with the healing process. I think the get together with Renee will be interesting and it wont be as bad as Bella thinks lol. I really loved the scene at the end with them watching a movie and the cuddling. Oh wow Bella seems to be ready for them to have a little more intimacy which is a big step. Baby steps but thats good. Hopefully Edward will be comfortable enough to recipocate. I think they need to talk about that as well so they are at the same level with that. Again that will all take time. But it was so great to read them haivng such tender moments :) And as far as you and school, hunny finish what you need to do. We will patiently wait. I am very proud of you! You are doing awesome, keep up the good work. Hang in there it will all pay off. Though I admit I am so looking fwd to the next update. Thanks so much and I cant say enough how much I love this story
and adore your writing its beautiful, *hugs, Leslie



Author's Response:

Leslie!! You are just beyond nice! I wish I could reach through the computer and hug you!!! 

I'm so happy you felt everything in this chapter was important. I know there's not a lot going on and that things were progressing slowly, but this story is just too important to me to just rush things. I wanted to show the entire healing process. It means so much that you see how this chapter was import to show everything Bella is working through. And I'm just beyond thrilled that you adore my Edward!!! 'cause I love him to bits as well! *sigh* I really need to get myself an Edward, lol. 

Yes, poor Charlie. I think many people forget how hard everything is on Charlie as well! Although Edward & Bella will always be the focus, I think it's important to show how everything is effecting him as well. So glad you liked the moviei cuddling scene! Yes, Bella is slowy moving forward. Baby steps -- that's exactly it --well said!! 

Anyway, thank you so much for your lovely review. I can't even begin to tell you how much it means to me.

Hey Leslie,

I'm kind of glad they deleted it. If they don't want me, I'll go where I am wanted. If they want to let a bunch of 13-year-olds dictate how their site is run, then that's fine with me. I'll be here still doing my thing whether FFn and their little puppies on a chain like it or not.

Damn I am pissed myself, I cant believe they all tortured her that way, all of the horrible things they had done to her ;( I totally get why Peter is livid. I am sure he will do everything he can to find out all the answers. He is good for Bella I know it and he will help her thought this. Its going to take so much time though ;( Great chapter girl!

Hey girl! Agian you always deliver, awesome chappie ;) I so agree with you about Bd 2. I was disappointed as well Peter said nothing. I mean damn Melissa Rosenberg, really? You couldnt even write two lines for the poor guy? So messed up :( Anyhow God my heart is just breaking for Bella. She has been through such horrors, disgusting, I cant, cant wrap my head around it. I feel for Peter too because knowing his mate went through such hell and he wasnt there at the time to help save her, has to be so hard ;( But I know he will make sure those involved will pay! I cant wait to read when that happens. I have a feeling once Bella recovers as best as she can, she will unleash her wrath as well. I really like Char I think her and Bella will become good friends. I liked how they explained more baout mating. Oh I am with you girl about Garrett, lmao. I loved him in BD 2! Lee Pace was so hot! ttys hun xo
