Bio:

I've been with my husband for 20 years.  I am a proud mom of a beautiful daughter and handsome son.  I come from a very large family and have 22 adorable nieces and nephews.  


I love dark chocolate, coffee and wine -- unfortunately, all of them give me migraines!


I love to bake for my kids, especially during the holidays.  I enjoy reading, walking around the lake near our home, music and reading fanfiction.  I work F/T and attend classes P/T.


I do a lot of creative writing late in the evening.  I suffer from insomnia and you can usually find me typing away at the computer at 2 a.m.


Likes: Hanging out with my best friends, shopping with my sisters, sitting in front of the fireplace under a blanket with my husband, getting manicures and facials from my 11 year old daughter, watching TV, movies, reading books, listening to music, Italian and Chinese restaurants, riding rollercoasters and anything related to Twilight or Robert Pattinson. 


Dislikes: rude, inconsiderate, insensitive people.  There's more but it would take me forever to list them.....


Fanfiction: For now, I just read Twilight fanfiction.  My favorite pairing is Edward and Bella, of course.  However, I do have the hots for Carlisle and I am not opposed to Bella and Carlisle getting it on.  I only like HEA endings and try to avoid anything too angsty.  I am a true pervert -- just ask the husband -- and I enjoy a really good filthy lemon.  I'm a naughty girl and Dark Edward totally does it for me.  YUM!

Summary: Past Featured Story


In August of 1931, almost two years after the disastrous stock market crash on Wall Street, Bella's wealthy family suddenly find themselves broke and homeless in New York City. She is sent to live on her birth father's struggling farm in Oklahoma and soon the pampered, well-to-do city girl is forced to face life as a poor country bumpkin. The transition will not be easy for the overindulged sixteen year old. To make matters worse, choking dust storms, a dangerous drought and the hiring of a handsome but hardheaded homeless man will complicate Bella's life even further.

Hello everyone!

Just a quick note to all my readers ---believe it or not, I'm still working on the next chapter.  It's just taking a lot longer for me to post because my writing time is now limited to two evenings a week.  I went from part-time substitute teaching to full-time teaching and my two college professors are kicking my butt with tons of homework and writing assignments!!

Please stick with me -- I promise there's lots more to this story :o)

I'm going to sit down now and enjoy an apple martini....yum!!! Have a wonderful evening, folks!
