I'm a 30-something (yeah, that's all you're getting on the age thing) hairstylist (does that shock you? Didn't think so) and my love for the Twilight Saga brought me to FF. Wide Awake was the first one I read and my addiction spiraled out of control from there. I love to see all the different variations of the characters SM created and am seriously amazed by so many of the authors in the fandom.

*UPDATE 6/11/11* I have been getting lots of PM's concerned about the status of Making the Cut. I want to assure everyone that I WILL be continuing with the story. Unfortunately, RL issues in my personal life have to take precedence right now and I'm finding it difficult to find the time to devote to writing at the moment. Once things settle down and I am able to do so, I promise I WILL update. Thank you for your patience and understanding...I REALLY appreciate it!
