I'm a writer, artist and mom (not necessarily in that order) with a mid-life crisis I like to call Twilight. It's cheaper than a sports car or a face lift, and since Rob isn't returning my calls, I've ruled out acquiring a boy-toy as well. I write and design for a newspaper, have a novel or two in progress, as well as a slew of short, mostly dark, stories. I swore I'd never do fan fiction, but I became so smitten with the whole community – writers and readers alike – that when I was struck with a twisted B/E idea, I opened The Family Business. Although I completed that amazing experience in November, there are still several outtakes and franchises in the works. If you paid good money to the very worthy Fandom Gives Back for one of those outtakes, fear not: Team Slayerward updated with news and I'll be revisiting Slayerward and Bella very, very soon. One outtake is almost finished and the other is stuck in limbo on a sick Mac. If you didn't donate, but want an outtake, you can still get one! Check the site for more info.

Neon Forks isn't dead either, and I've been writing more on that story in recent weeks. Sure To Be Broken is a one-shot I wrote for the FGB Autism project and it's a little dark and different. It's a complete short story and I hope you enjoy it.

The traffic is still steady on my stories and I know some of you continue to rec them. I love the wonderful word-of-mouth in this fandom and that kind of support will always mean the world to me no matter where my writing takes me. Thank you!

I have a blog (I know, who doesn't?) featuring stories or articles from my day job and inane ramblings on my life as a writer, artist and mom - still not necessarily in that order. You'll also find the banner for TFB there and other nonsense. http://suzspetals.wordpress.com

I'm on Twitter, but follow suzspetals at your own risk. It's kind of an alternate-universe for my alternate-ego, and it's not always family friendly.
