Good News! Good News!

I woke up this morning and read some good news. It was desperately needed since I felt like total garbage over the weekend, but that's a story for another time. The good news is that Under Construction, in all its angsty glory, was voted #5 in the top ten fics completed in December.

Holla!

You can find the complete list which includes, Edward's Eternal, Deb Drotuno, TheFicChick, TheQueenWriter and many others, here: TwiFanficRecs. Thank you for those of you who took time out of your busy schedules to vote for Under Construction. I'm tickled to be among such amazing authors.


In other news, Renovation and Under Construction, are up for top ten fic of the year, along with Surviving the Teenage Dream, Caught in the Flames and Star Crossed. You can find the link to vote here: Top Ten Fic of 2015.

You can vote once a day. I'd appreciate if you could take the time to vote for at least one of these stories. For now, here's a reminder about Renovations and Under Construction, their summaries and links for their stories. 

Renovations


Isabella Swan, thirty-six, is reeling from her recent divorce from the man she thought she would be spending her forever, the rest of her life. James Hunter broke her heart when he told her wanted to end it. He didn’t fight her, giving her all of the money, all of the furniture and everything else Bella wanted. Her mind and heart shattered, Bella took all of her belongings and moved to the opposite end of the country from her ex-husband, close to a dear friend, Esme Cullen. She purchases a beautiful home, but in badly need of repair and updating.

Esme suggests two men, Edward Masen, twenty-six, and his business partner, Garrett Keyes, twenty-seven, for the job. Edward is an up and coming contractor whom Esme had used for her interior design business. Garrett was a carpenter and headed up the construction end of the business. Bella contacted the men, knowing that she was going to hire them. Their website spoke to her. The clean lines and use of high-end appliances and materials were exactly what she envisioned for her new home. Little did she know that when both men came to interview, she would be physically attracted to them as well?

Will these men renovate Bella’s new home or will the renovations spill over into other aspects of her life, giving her love life a much needed makeover? 





Under Construction


Bella Swan, a divorced adoption attorney, is relishing her time with her two hot and attentive boyfriends, Edward Masen and Garrett Keyes. Never in her wildest dreams had she ever considered being with two men, let alone two men who adored her as much as they do. Their relationship is perfection. With all new relationships, they are trying to navigate the ins and outs of being together. Their little bubble of sexual exploration is threatened when Bella is sent to New York City for a high profile adoption proceeding.

With a heavy heart, Bella flies out to New York to meet her new clients, close friends of Aro Volturi, her former boss. Carmen and Eleazar D’Amato are finalizing the adoption of a child that they fostered for almost a year and a half, but dealing with them is easy. Running into her ex-husband is not. He manages to appear everywhere once he found out that Bella was in New York. His new marriage has crumbled and his estranged wife has taken their child, hiding him away from James. His job is hanging by a thread and he now blames Bella for everything.

On a whim, Edward and Garrett fly out to New York to surprise Bella. She loses herself with them, but they had an audience. But, who and to what end?

Banner by Chandrakanta

Banner by FallingSnowinWinter

Isabella Swan, an up and coming graphic artist, lived in the heart of the Gold Coast in Chicago. She was comfortable in her brownstone, left to her by her grandmother. 

Edward Cullen, a lieutenant in the Chicago Fire Department and the head of the rescue squad in Department Eighteen. He risks his life on a daily basis, putting out fires and saving strangers from burning buildings and mangled vehicles. 

She was an innocent…someone caught in the cross hairs of their obsession with fire. He was a hero…a man desperate to save the woman who was in danger from a serial arsonist. Little did they know, this monster was going to be the catalyst to start their fire, their fire of passion. They were Caught in the Flames.





Star Crossed

Banner by Chandrakanta

Cover by Mina

She was the leader of her people. 

He was a gruff, by-the-book star ship captain. 

An interstellar war, negotiations for a peace treaty gone wrong and a taboo relationship between two species. 

Captain Edward Cullen was in charge of the starship, Volvo. He, along with his crew, were given a mission to deliver Empress Nirabelle of the Cygnarian people to the nearby planet of Lapus, to negotiate a treaty between their two worlds. 

For over a millennia, they have been fighting a vicious battle. For what? They don’t even know. It’s ingrained in their minds and their history. 

The Empress is to meet with the Crown Prince of Lapus, Jakob. The Volvo is transporting her and her envoy, Maralice to the planet. There are strict rules in place for the Empress’s transport. She is to not have any contact with any males on the ship, per the cultural norms of Cygnarian society. The trip should take as little time as possible and if no headway has been made within one day of being in orbit, Captain Cullen is to transport the Empress from the planet’s surface. 

However, something goes terribly wrong on Lapus. One communication to the Volvo and a brief face-to-face conversation forever changes the future of the Empress and Captain Cullen. Will they survive this threat or are the Star Crossed lovers doomed before they even have a chance?

Under Construction Chapter 20 Update on TWCS

Edward and Garrett were finally starting on the Banner’s renovation for their kitchen. They needed the distraction of a new project. They hadn’t heard from Bella in over a week. No phone calls. No texts. No sexy emails. Nothing. Edward naively believed that she was swamped with work from that adoption. Garrett had an inkling that she was back but avoiding them. Something happened after they left. Something bad. Something very bad that obviously caused her to rethink their relationship.

“Stop looking at your phone, douche,” Garrett snapped. “We’ve got to take these measurements.”

“I thought I felt it vibrate,” Edward said, smiling sadly at his friend. “It did, but it was just an email.”

“From Bella?” Garrett asked.

“No. Mrs. Cope. She’s wondering when we’re coming back,” Edward shrugged, shoving the phone back into his pocket. “Daniel is handling her well, but the Banner’s house is a bigger project.” They worked quietly, only speaking to bark out measurements. “Do you think that Bella doesn’t want us?”

“I don’t know, Ed,” Garrett muttered. “Something must have happened that totally spooked her.”

Edward bit back tears. “I miss her so much, Garrett,” he said thickly. “What if she …”

“We’re better off without her,” Garrett said coldly. “We were her playthings and if she can drop us like that than she’s not worth our trouble.”

“You don’t mean that,” Edward growled. “We were not her playthings. We shared something very special.”

FYI ~ I will be posting an extended summary of the third installment, Restoration, on Sunday. It will begin posting on Wednesday, so you will not have to wait long for the continuation of the Renovations trilogy. Keep your eyes peeled!

Under Construction Chapter 19 Update on FFn

After celebrating New Year’s Eve in Times Square, they made love together until the sun came up, sleeping the day away. The following day, Bella rode with them to the airport, upset that their time in New York City had come to an end. But, she had a job to finish. After a tearful goodbye, Bella got back into the car and rode back to the city. Aro, however, sent her a text.

Come to my apartment, Isabella. There’s been a development ~ Aro

Bella frowned, telling her driver to go to Central Park West and not her corporate apartment. The driver gave Bella his phone number and he drove off. She walked into the lavish lobby, smiling at the security guard. He waved her up to the penthouse explaining that Aro was expecting her. Riding up the elevator, she arrived at the penthouse. Aro and Sofia were waiting for her, hugging her close. 
“How was your Christmas, Isabella?” Sofia asked, her Italian accent thick and beautiful.

“It was very nice. I enjoyed having some time off,” Bella smiled.

“Do you want something to drink? Some wine? Coffee?” Sofia asked.

“No, thank you,” Bella replied. Sofia nodded, kissing her husband and ducking into the kitchen. She turned to Aro, her brows furrowed. “Is everything okay?”

“Not really, Bella. Come with me to my office,” Aro said, guiding her to the opulent office overlooking Central Park. He closed the door and poured himself a glass of scotch. “I got a very disturbing phone call this morning, Bella. Carmen D’Amato was ranting and raving about you. She said that she didn’t want some deviant like you handling her son’s case and calling you every horrible name in the book.”

“What? Why would she say that?” Bella asked, her heart falling to her feet. “I don’t understand, Aro.”

The next morning, Bella was woken up by to handsome men kissing her skin. Her negligee had disappeared at some point during the night. She was now naked, squirming with need. Edward had wrapped his lips around her nipple while Garrett slid his hand between her legs. “Fuck,” she sighed. “What a way to wake up!”

“We both want you,” Garrett growled against her ear. “Do you want us?”

“Yes,” she replied, kissing Garrett hungrily. He smiled as she ran her fingers down his torso. Edward was kissing her neck and pressing his hardness against her ass. “I want both of you inside me.” Edward trailed his fingers down her back and circled the rosette of her ass. She bucked against him. Garrett moved his fingers between her legs and circled her clit. “You both know how to touch me to make ignite in flames.”


“We just love seeing you squirm,” Edward said, dipping his finger into her pussy to gather some of her abundant arousal. He removed it and pushed two fingers into her ass. Bella groaned, spreading her ass so he could have easier access. Garrett slid two fingers into her pussy, curling them inside. “We’re both inside of you, Bella. Do you want more?”

Bella licked her lips, standing up and guiding them into her bedroom. Edward slid behind her, moving her curled hair over her shoulder and kissed her neck. Garrett ran his hands up and down her bare arms before he went to remove her silk wrap dress. It opened easily, revealing the sexy, racy lingerie underneath. “Fuck, pretty girl.”

“You like?” she asked, rolling her body enticingly. “I’m also a part of your present.”

“Like is putting it mildly, Bella,” Edward purred against her ear. He pulled her dress off her body to reveal a lacy red and black panty set with garters and thigh highs. Her breasts were spilling out of her bra, just the barest hint of her nipples peeking through. Her panties were lacy and skimpy.

“Feel between my legs,” she said, taking Garrett’s hand. He expected to feel soaked satin, but instead he felt her soaking skin. She gasped when his fingers came in contact with her pussy. “Fuck, my hands feel nothing like yours.”

“You got yourself off, pretty girl?” Garrett groaned. “Without us?”

“I got lonely and horny,” she said, moving away from Edward and closer to Garrett. She rocked against his hand that was still toying with her pussy. “I had to do something.

“Okay, Carmen and Eleazar,” Bella said. “We have a court date for January seventh for the adoption. Alec’s birth parents had their parental rights revoked, thanks to the judge. With everything that you did for Alec, we’ll be all set.”

“You have no idea how much this means to us, Bella,” Carmen sniffled, looking at the paperwork that would make Alec officially their son. “Are you sure you can’t come over to celebrate Christmas with our family? You are an integral part of it since you have done so much.”

“I appreciate it, but no thank you. I have plans with my own family. They’re flying in today. I have a car picking them up as we speak,” Bella replied, a warm blush covering her face.

“Well, we don’t want to keep you from your family. If you do decide to come, bring them along,” Eleazar smiled. “Merry Christmas, Bella. We’ll see you in a couple of weeks.” He helped his wife to her feet, guiding her out of Bella’s office.


Once they were out of the office, Bella collapsed against the leather chair. She was ready for some time off and anxious to be with Edward and Garrett. The past five weeks had been torturous. The conversations, Skype calls and emails were great, but not the same as being with them. Her body yearned for theirs. She wanted their touch, their kisses, their love. It’s only a matter of an hour, Bella, she thought gleefully. She smiled happily, packing up her belongings and bundling up to go back to her apartment.

Under Construction Chapter Fifteen Update on TWCS

James was angry. So angry. Everything he had worked for had disintegrated over the past three years. First, he met Victoria on a business trip to New York City. She worked for another advertising firm, trying to get a deal for her company. James, ever the charmer, got the deal and managed to land dinner with Victoria. They flirted, teased and eventually made out. In the back of his mind, he felt guilty about what he was doing to his wife, but Victoria’s red lips felt perfect against his mouth. That first trip, all they did was kiss.

The second trip, they fucked. James finally felt he’d met his match. Bella was a good wife, but she was too demure. Too perfect. And never home. When James slammed into Victoria, he was lost to her. Her pussy was tight, wet and willing. Each following trip to New York, James and Victoria fucked. He loved it.

That all changed, though, when Victoria called him at his Chicago office. She was hysterical, explaining that she was pregnant. Four months pregnant. With James’ baby. He knew that he couldn’t abandon his mistress. He loved Victoria.

With Bella, it never could be anything more. Yes, they were married, but their relationship was distant. It was James’ fault. He turned away from her when she told him of her medical issues and unlikely chance that they would ever get pregnant. He stayed faithful, until he met Victoria. Now? She was the mother of his child.

Plan of Attack

I can't believe that I can put Star Crossed in the complete column of my computer. It truly pushed me in ways I never thought possible. It was such an amazing story to write. Epic, almost, but not quite. I'm proud of it and happy how it ended. I've already got more brewing. You know? 

I'm still working on Buying Love, trying desperately to build a surplus of chapters but my brain is NOT cooperating. Damn. It. I'm currently working on chapter twenty-four. I'd like to get to chapter thirty before reaching a stopping point so I can work on my next project, So You Think You Can Dance. I wrote the first three chapters for the Fandom 4 Autism. I'm working, focusing on that next. An extended summary will be posted on December 3rd on all of my blogs. The story itself will be posting on December 17th. 

Under Construction has about five more chapters left, with some AMAZING lemons coming up. That should be finished by mid-December. Restoration is complete (with twenty-eight chapters) and will begin posting on Christmas Eve. 

However, I've been struggling with RL issues. Yesterday and today have been rough. It was the first Thanksgiving without my mom and it was tense to say the least. I don't know how to handle it. The two people I care most for in the world can't handle being in the same room with each other. I don't know what to do. Perhaps, if I lose myself in my writing, the stress of RL will go away. I'd appreciate some prayers and virtual loving ... 
Hugs,

“So, when do you want to fly out to visit Bella?” Garrett asked. “Do you want to leave on Christmas Eve, coming back on New Year’s Day or extend our visit?” He was standing in the Cope’s home, looking at flights in the kitchen.

“Shouldn’t you be building something?” Edward asked, waiting on hold with the city to bitch at them regarding some nonexistent permit issue.

“I can’t,” Garrett shrugged. “Construction is on hold until you get the permit issue resolved. We could be out getting supplies for the master bathroom, but I’m afraid to buy anything with Mrs. Cope’s indecisiveness. She gave us the thumbs up for the grey tile, white cabinets and quartz countertops, but she may want travertine, marble and dark wood tomorrow. That woman is going to send us into the poor house with her constant changing.”

“No more after this,” Edward said. “If she wants something else remodeled, we’ll give her name to another contractor. Liam and his crew are just as good as us.”

“Or, we could do it, but not be the project managers,” Garrett suggested. “Daniel has been asking for more responsibility. I think he’s very capable to do it. Obviously, we’d have to okay any plans, but he could run the sites.”


“We do need to promote a few …” Edward trailed off, but someone picked up the line. “Hello, my name is Edward Masen and I submitted several permits for a location on Mercer Island. A building inspector came by and said that there were a few issues. My permits were approved, but the inspector put a stop to our work.” Edward listened as the woman looked up the information after he provided the address and his contact information. “Okay, great. So, he was misinformed? Right, he went to the wrong address. We’re okay. Thank you for clearing that up. I appreciate it.” Edward ended the call. “The guy was at the wrong house.”

“Thank you, Ms. Swan,” Carmen D’Amato said, hugging Bella tightly. “I have no doubt that with your help, we can get Alec’s birth parents’ rights removed. They caused so much damage to my little boy. I hate seeing him so empty.”

Bella watched as the boy played robotically in the firm’s play room. He was still heavily medicated, but was recovering, slowly from his traumatic ordeal of meeting Felix. Upon seeing a picture of Felix and a photo of his birth father, Bella understood why the boy was upset. They were nearly identical in every way, except the eyes. Felix had dark brown eyes while Alec’s birth father, Sean, had bright green eyes. Sean, though, looked evil, dark and mean, a monster among men.

“With a mother like you, Mrs. D’Amato, Alec will grow and thrive to be the man he was supposed to be,” Bella whispered. “And call me Bella. We have a long journey and such formalities aren’t needed.”

“Only if you call me Carmen,” she replied, hugging her new attorney. “I’m sorry that my husband couldn’t make it back from his business trip. There was an awful snowstorm that canceled his flight.”


“It’s no problem. I wanted to make sure that Alec was okay with me helping him out. Our physical similarities worked in our favor,” Bella quipped.
