Author has written 29 stories for Twilight, and Sherlock.

I started reading the Twilight series in September 2008, because my teen daughters enjoyed it so much. I quickly moved on to surfing fan websites and then to creating fan fiction!

One of my daughters also introduced me to my new love, Sherlock, in January 2012.

So long as you write what you wish to write, that is all that matters; and whether it matters for ages or only for hours, nobody can say. Virginia Woolf


I was a judge in the Canon Fodder Challenge, which yielded 27 canon oneshots by rookie and veteran canon writers. Lots of great canon reading material!

Congratulations to the winners and thanks to everyone who participated in any way with the Twilight Anniversary Challenge sponsored by edward-bella-harry-ginny, Gleena and me! Check out the entries and the example stories that edward-bella-harry-ginny, Gleena and I each wrote.

I. Missing Moments: Scenes from the books retold in another POV, scenes referred to in the books but not told, and scenes that didn't happen in the books but maybe, just maybe, almost could have

A. Edward's POV stories, in order of how they would fit into the books

1. Marry Me First (check out the wonderful banner by cool-gal95)
2. Sunshine State (gorgeous banner created by edward-bella-harry-ginny)-- Summer 2009 Indie TwiFic finalist for Most Romantic Moment and one of my two most often favorited stories
3. Frantic (edward-bella-harry-ginny made an awesome banner for this story!)

7. Date Night (chapter 5 is Edward's POV) (also enhanced by a beautiful edward-bella-harry-ginny banner!); this story is a WIP but each chapter is separate and can be enjoyed on its own, like episodes in a TV show; it doesn't leave you hanging
