Hi Everyone. I just wanted to let my wonderful readers know I've signed with The Writer's Coffee Shop Publishing House, and my reworked fan fiction story, A Forbidden Love will be published on December 17th. Yay! It's new title will be Innocence. My first original story, also a historical romance but with a slight 'Beauty and the Beast' feel, will be published soon after. My author name is Elise de Sallier, a reworking of my much loved grandmother's maiden name. You can find out a little more about me and my publishing endeavors at elisedesallier.wordpress.com or by following me on twitter at ESallier or facebook as Elise de Sallier.

Thank you so much for all the support I've received. I'm doing a little better on the health front now I have a diagnosis (or five...these darn illnesses seem to accumulate!) and am happily writing full time now I can no longer work as a counsellor. To those who are wondering, I'll definitely be leaving my other two stories up...for as long as FFn lets me as they are rather lemony!

Thanks so much for all the prayer, best wishes, and support. It's great to be a part of such a wonderful fandom.

xx Elise (LOL! I'm getting used to a name change!)

Once Bitten - Extras

Here are a few of the lovely reviews/recommendations that other authors have given Once Bitten -

Your writing is so easy on the eyes -- clean, simple, but with a lot of rich details without being overkill. You have a great balance between technical greatness and this slow, beautiful sweetness. Usually, I don't do Work In Progress fics because I get so impatient, but yours just bashed me over the head. It's LOVELY. I'm so glad you decided to post it, because I haven't read an AU fic in ages--mainly because most of them would bore me. But yours reminded me what I love about Canon Edward while making the Twilight story much more satisfying.

Once Bitten, by TwiLoverSue
A canon AU, in which Edward loses his battle with his bloodlust the first day he meets Bella. I've never seen this done in quite this way before, and I've been blown away by every chapter. The characters in this story are so good, Bella is strong and wonderful. Everything about this Edward and Bella will make you want to cheer for them, and the story sucks you in and doesn't let go. You won't regret trying this one.

I am loving this story. I mean, it is one of those "Edward bites Bella the first day" fic. We have all read plenty of them, but this is so incredibly well written, so sophisticated in its psychological development that I feel like cheering at every turn of events. It is in Canon, but subtly deviates from it, often surprising you.

You guys know how I love period fics, right? *rubs hands in excitement* Found a gem! TwiLoverSue has created a riveting Regency tale set in the early 1800s where Bella finds herself suddenly thrown into the harsh terrifying realities of the working class...TwiLoverSue will take you on one adventure and escapade after another, including some epic surprises that turn the whole story around!!

This is the best period story ever! Lord Edward and Belinda Brown:) Bella is a highly educated lady, who had to work as a maid in Cullen’s Mansion under the name of Belinda Brown… She is trying to escape from the dangers following her after her father’s death! Her only hope is Carlisle. But when she arrives the Mansion, she finds Lord Edward instead of Lord Carlisle. What will happen to her until Carlisle’s return? Will Edward be capable of protecting her? Or is it Edward that she should be protected from:)? It’s an amazing story… I couldn’t stop reading and spent a sleepless night! This will be your best new year present, start reading my friends… The passion between a commoner and a Lord is something that you don’t want to miss:)
