Good News and a PSA

So, I got some good news the other day. With the help of your votes, The One That Got Away was voted as one of the Fics of the Month for June. Shockingly, it was voted into second place! YES! So, thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm totally pumped for that. Also, La Musica del Cuore has been nominated for Fic of the Month for July. You can vote ONCE per twenty-four-hour period here: TwiFanfictionRecs.

Show Rockerward and his Cantante some support by voting for them. And don't forget Nugget ... he's so adorable and deserves votes, too.

Now comes the PSA ...

In about week and a half, I will be going back to work. My summer vacation flew by and now, I'm back to teaching. As of now, I have Married to the Mob, Out of the Darkness and Shaky Ground as my current WIPs. I'm hoping to maintain my update schedule, which is as follows.

Mondays ~ Shaky Ground
Tuesdays ~ Married to the Mob, with teaser for Shaky Ground
Wednesdays ~ Teaser for Out of the Darkness
Fridays ~ Shaky Ground
Saturdays ~ Out of the Darkness, with teaser for Shaky Ground

I do plan on completing The Magic Within, but I'm kind of stuck. I know where I want the story to go, but I need to get it there. So, I'm in a bout writer's block for that story.

Also, I know several of you asked about Picking up the Pieces. Let's just say that I will probably start working on that after the first of the year. With the topic, cancer, and losing my mom to cancer, it's been a tough story for me to attack without having a major panic attack. My goal is to have Picking up the Pieces be completed by the end of NEXT summer. There will be heart-fail, but I do promise a HEA for Edward and Bella.

Finally, I have a Royalward on the back-burner, too. When I couldn't sleep, I was hit by a plot bunny ...

I'm working on planning out A Modern Day Fairy Tale. A crowned prince Edward and a commoner Bella ... I can only imagine. Hmmmm ... Can't wait to get started on this. 

Anyhow, thank you for listening to my rambling and for voting for TOTGA and hopefully, continuing to vote for LMDC. Mad love to all of you! 

Hugs,

Some More Good News!

I'm happy to say that I'm on the mend. Today, I woke up feeling like a human. I'm still tired and weak from this bout with this stomach bug, but my stomach is not doing flip flops at the mere mention of food. So, positive for me!

It also helped with my weight loss plans. Not eating for almost four days, yeah, can make you lose weight. I think I'm down fifteen pounds? LOL ...

Anyhow, since I was in a stomach flu fog, I never got a chance to share this tidbit of good news ...

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 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?
