Bio:
I'm 39, and I will be forever. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it!
I grew up overseas (Africa, Italy and Switzerland). The Republic of Texas is my home now!
I’ve been with my husband for 22 years, and we have two kids plus a very overweight cat. My husband is entirely too tolerant of all things Twilight!
I’ve been obsessed with vampires since back in the day with Anne Rice and her Interview With The Vampire series.
I have a borderline unhealthy obsession with The Vampire Diaries television show.
My other obsession is anything related to The Boondock Saints – possibly one of the finest, most under-rated movies every made! Connor and Murphy are God’s perfect men!
I have mad cooking skillz! I’ll try to make anything once. My speciality is Italian cooking, obviously, since I’m Italian!
My first Twilight fanfic piece, Hide In Plain Sight, is now complete. It's also posted over at Twilighted http://www.twilighted.net/viewstory.php?sid=9451 where you can check out the pretty banner my wonderful husband made for me and on FFnet: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5580563/1/Hide_In_Plain_Sight
Obviously I’m a huge fan of all things Twilight. Robert Pattinson rocks my world! He’s almost young enough to be my son, but he brings out my inner cougar – rowr!
Music that I can’t live without: Muse, Paramore, Kings of Leon, Train, Uncle Kracker, Queen (hey, what can I say, I have eclectic tastes)!
There's a thread for Hide In Plain Sight over at Twilighted (thanks again, 4stringqueen!): http://www.twilighted.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=9562 Come join the discussion!
The talented and amazing 4stringqueen also created a blinkie for Hide In Plain Sight! Check it out: http://i740.photobucket.com/albums/xx45/4stringqueen/hipsblinky.gif She owns my heart, jsyk!

One Bet. One Week. No Rules.
Bella bets Edward that after a week of some raw sexcapades he won’t want to stop. He bets her otherwise.
A slightly tongue in cheek smutathon and my first fan-fic.

It suddenly occurred to me today that I hadn't rev'ed this CH (officially) yet! You know I LOVE it, and I love YOU! You've been so wonderfully calm and collected through all the fuckery of the last week; far more so than I would have been! It looks like all of your loyal readers have found you over here, and you've picked up many new readers as well. GO YOU for making it to the top of the New Authors & Fav Authors lists! I TOLD you this would be a good thing!
You make me smile!

Date: 24 May 2010 Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21- Perfect Hands
So, even though you already KNOW how much I love this chapter, I felt bad that I hadn't left you an "official" review in a while! OMG, so much to love about this chapter! I love that you're letting B & E show their vulnerability more. Emmett and Rose just slay me, and I love Bella's little convo in the bathroom with Alice. You really nailed the "high-school" feel of this chapter! Oh, and btw, your ending line: "And I wasn’t sorry at all" - just ABSOLUTE PERFECTION! Sigh. Thanks for the shout-out in your A/N! I know you've been super-busy with RL, but I hope we can catch up one of these days! ILY! <3
Date: 14 Sep 2010 Title: Chapter 26: Chapter 26- Bad Romance
Well done, my love! It's been an amazing ride! This has truly been one of those legendary fics along the lines of Wide Awake, IMO. People will be talking it for years to come, I have no doubt! It certainly hooked me, right from the beginning, and then I had the opportunity to get to know you and discovered what a wonderful and amazingly talented person you truly are. I wish you all the best in all of your future endeavors! I know that you've said you're backing out of fan fiction for a while, but I will miss your writing SO much that you may just have to keep me supplied on the sly! ;) ILY so much! Without you, I never would have had the courage to take the plunge and start writing again myself. Thank you for always being there for me, for being the best beta anyone could ask for and for generally holding my hand through all of my ongoing angst and drama! You are incredibly special to me and near to my heart, always! :)
