My Beautiful Storm -

After the angst of FaN and OUaS, I decided to write something sweet and fluffy. MBS would be just that. It's a HS fic and there is no angst. There is, hopefully, some good laughs and a sweet Edward and weather-obsessed Bella. Teasers on Tuesday and chapters post every Friday (because why mess with a good thing, right?) Inspiration for this one came from one of my favorite scenes in Twilight the movie when Edward asks Bella if she's enjoying the rain and she laughs and says, "You're asking me about the weather?" My Bella would love to talk about the weather!!

Once Upon a Saturday -

Sequel to Fridays at Noon. This is a short futuretake, looking into a day with Pennyward and his daughter. Still using the F@N blog and teasers are posted on Wednesdays. Chapters post every Saturday until complete :)

Fridays at Noon -

Can't thank you enough for the love and support I have been given in response to this story. F@N was the winner of Fic of the Month at The Lemonade Stand blog (www.tehlemonadestand.blogspot.com) in March 2011. The character of James won Best Villain in the Inspired Fanfic Awards. Thanks to all the people who nominated and voted for F@N and for me!

I was interviewed about F@N by the lovely Raum for her reading lounge - www.myreadinglounge.blogspot.com

Kassiah from Fictionators made this awesome banner. Check out the review of the story on their website too. Love it! http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a86/Kassiah/TF/Banners/fridaysatnoon.png

High School Confidential -

I was listening to My Little Secret by Cavo and got inspired to write a story with a married Edward, married to someone other than Bella. I work in a school and have too many real life experiences to draw from so the setting became a school. A lot of what the kids in the story go through are based on real things I have dealt with. Jake is a combination of some of my favorite troublemakers!

From Chapter 10 - I got the idea for the pop can wolf from this website - this artist is amazing: http://www.claregraham.com/pagesART/pagesSODACANS/artSODACANS100.html

Chapter 35 - Link to the ending of Sixteen Candles - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIrkyAFpE0I *sigh* how I love this movie and Jake Ryan!

Pictures of You-

MY first attempt at writing a story with a purpose and not just to entertain myself. I used lots of real places and things at least places based on real things. Like Movie Edward says - "You can google it."

The private dining room they eat in at Hale Tower is taken from 21 Club in New York check it out here - http://www.orient-express.com/web/onyc/wine_cellar.jsp

Kings and Queens is based on a club called Skins Gentlemen's Club - they had pictures of what the place looked like that helped me since I don't frequent many strip joints =) If you want to see it go to www.skinclubla.com

Assaggios is a real restaurant in Seattle that really does have murals all over. They didn't have any pictures but they have a website where they described exactly what I did www.assaggioseattle.com

Pike Place Market website has a big old map and I also just google mapped Assaggios and then walked towards the bay and found the little open area there kitty corner from Pike Place. You can google it and even see the bench they were sitting on. Google Virginia Street and Western Avenue Seattle and it will take you right there to that corner.

The diamond, it's real you can see it here - http://famousdiamonds.tripod.com/tereschenkodiamond.html

Wanted - sequel to Pictures of You. I had more to say about it all so I had to keep going. Set totally in Chicago which I am a little more familiar with than Seattle since I have actually been there before!

Victoria's gallery is based off this one in Chicago - http://www.edelmangallery.com/

The infamous chaise from Chapter 13 just imagine it in all black - http://catwalkthreads.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/eclec11.jpg
