Profile update time! For anyone who doesn't already know me, I am a 40-something Registered Nurse. I have been around the Twilight fandom for nearly three years. I began writing my first fanfic, Ascension, right after I read the Saga and about the same time that the "Twilight" movie came out. Ascension was the first writing I had done "for fun" in 20 years and I enjoyed it so much that I wrote "The Letter" and a few one-shots as well. Unfortunately, real life finally caught up with me and curtailed the time I had to devote to writing, but I'm dabbling here and there so you just never know when I might get inspired and come up with the next fun thing!

One thing that I enjoy immensely about the Twilight universe is the diverse group of women I've had the pleasure to call my friends through this venture. Regardless of how our Twilight obsession manages to evolve, we are still a group of wonderful women who have so much more in common than just an unnatural obsession with sparkly vampires!

Take some time to peruse my stories, Lillie Cullen's stories, JustBiteMePlease's stories, the stories that I beta, and the stories in my favorites list. So glad you stopped by!

Ascension and The Letter were both been nominated for the "Twi-Fic" awards. My humblest thanks to those who nominated me.

Ascension was nominated for a "Mystic Award" for THE Bella. I love my vamp Bella and I'm glad others do too!

The Letter was runner up in "The Sparkle Awards" for "The Daylight Award - Best Alternate Universe" THANKS READERS!!

I am Mistress Lillie's Evil Minion.

I have three Evil Minions of my own, MilitzaG, LolaRosa, and Eyes_of_Topaz. It's good to be the queen.

My orgasms belong to Domward, and not just Domward of The Dominant, but almost ANY Domward because Domward is just HAWT!

A huge thank you goes out to my beta Lillie Cullen. I would never have been able to go ahead and publish without her! She makes it possible for my stories to get from my brain to your eyes. Check out these stories of hers:

A Lesson In Release is a great story about how Jasper helps Bella to gain some "release" from her frustration at Edward's unwillingness to push his boundaries. It is an amazing story! http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4646647/1/A_Lesson_In_Release

The sequel to A Lesson In Release - It's called "A Lesson In Fate": http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4780461/1/A_Lesson_in_Fate Now complete!

The final chapter in "The Lessons Saga" is called "A Lesson in Love" and you can find it here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5413664/1/

Edward's Release - A spinoff from A Lesson In Release: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4695541/1/

This story is one of my very favorite stories ever in fanfic. It is about James, the bad vampire, and Lillie did an amazing job writing his story. Redemption: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4780450/1/Redemption

Stories I am Beta'ing

I am the official Beta for authors Eyes_of_Topaz, LolaRosa, and MilitzaG. Please check out their stories as listed in my favorites.

NanMcCullen occasionally enlists my beta services as well. I've beta'd "I Can't Hold Back" and "Like Moths to Flame" for her. Please check those out, links in my favorites, as well as her other stories.

My favorite fanfic that I was NOT the beta for...

LazyKate's story "I Don't Believe in Vampires." Link is in my favorites. Kate truly has a gift. (Plus she's a perv... what's not to love?)
