Author has written 19 stories for Twilight, and Vampire Diaries. A Twiwriter since 2011, I like canon-based stories, enjoying the challenge of adhering to SM’s vision, but write the occasional AH story. I read mostly Ed/Bella stories, but Rosalie is my heart and soul. I love any tale where she has a dynamic role…particularly with Edward: as lovers, siblings, BFFs, close cousins, doesn't matter. When done right, the Roseward bond is exquisite and exciting, and I love to see it. I also LOVE the "Vampire Diaries" TV series, and over the years, I have switched loyalties from Delena to Bamon to ETERNALLY BONENZO. Their love was the most beautiful thing TVD created, and I will NEVER forgive Julie Plec for doing them as dirty as she did. After season after season of being used, abused, and mistreated, Bonnie EARNED a MUCH better ending than the writers gave her. She deserved a TRUE happily ever after with Enzo (with both of them alive), and no one can ever change my mind. This site feeds my obsessions with some ah-mazing fiction and introduces me to some of the world’s most amazing people. My fellow writers and readers have enriched my life in word-defying ways, and I love them all dearly. My leisurely earned English degree gives me license to bemoan apostrophe abuse and advocate for the Oxford comma…when it works in context. When I’m not lost in Forks, I remember to toss some cereal at my cherubs for sustenance, harass the Hubbs for hugs, and spend a little time in prayer. Between my Twifics and original stories, I need Christ’s help managing the voices in my head! Favorite writers: God, Toni Morrison, Nicholas Evans, Joyce Meyer, Farrah Rochon, Jane Austen, James Baldwin, and Fyodor Dostoyevsky. My life’s playlist: Jesus Culture, The Winans, Jill Scott, Carrie Underwood, Whitney Houston, En Vogue, George Strait, and Taylor Swift. Welcome to my version of the Twiverse! I hope you like it here.
