![]() Author has written 7 stories for Twilight. ~0~ Hello, Everyone, I'd like to thank you for your love and support of my writing endeavors. I have a little update to share about that little fic you'll all remember as "Impact." More than a year ago I told you that I'd received an offer from Jd Michaels and StoriesAboutUs to assist me in publishing the series in its entirety. Today, I'm excited to announce that the first book in "The Roll Models Saga" will be in your hands on Valentine's Day! “We are so excited that D. A. Charles has agreed to join us for the inaugural season of StoriesAboutUs with her forthcoming release of "Shattered"; it is a detailed and emotional journey which all who read it will be glad is only the beginning of her “Roll Models Saga” book series." Michaels.Adams. Stories About Us has been linked to us by Alec Frazier, Director of Autistic Reality and our story will be part of the Stories about Us initiative curated by Tari Hartman Squire of EIN SOF Communications. Stories about Us seeks to connect creative writers from the Disability Population with the entertainment industry. Alec has been a lifelong advocate for People with Disabilities. As mentioned, he runs his own disability advocacy firm, Autistic Reality, which does lobbying, peer advocacy, public speaking, and enhances the representation of the disability community. He is also a published author (two times over), in his own right. I’m excited to be working with Alec and his colleagues—as they share the same beliefs I hold in regard to inclusion, accessibility and disability issues. I know “The Roll Models Saga” will be treated with love. Shattered is not the story you remember, because it's the prequel to Impact with tons of new material. Shattered ends where the Impact you love began, and volume two, “Impact” will pick up there and continue. I anticipate four books in the series, but I have the support behind me to publish the series in the way I envision it. I’m utterly delighted that this labor of love has finally come to fruition and I will finally be able to put it in your hands. Thank you for your undying love and support; your words of encouragement when I was discouraged that this was a monumental task. And thank you from the bottom of my heart, to Alec Frazier, Jd Michaels and Tari Hartman Squire for believing in me and taking this leap of faith which will allow my readers to have this story back in their hands, and on their bookshelves, too! My readers are invited to join Steven and Abby for an epic party, Valentine's Day, from 10am to midnight, Eastern Time. We have prizes galore and so many of our favorite old school fandom authors will be there to help celebrate. I hope you join us in The Roll Models Lounge, here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/impactstreetteam/?ref=share Readers who would like an Advanced Read Copy of Shattered in exchange for a review can PM me here on FFn and I'll hook you up!

Team Impact is working diligently to make this possible. I owe you all so, so much. Thank you. Thank you for your comments, reviews and your words of support, but most importantly, I thank you for the precious investment of your time as you accompany me on this journey. There aren't enough words to express my gratitude. Affectionately, ~nise Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
