FlamingMaplehide bio
 Author has written 13 stories for Twilight. In 2017, I experienced a traumatic relationship rejection. I began writing stories to distract, console, and finally, to understand myself. The Twilight FanFiction community welcomed, encouraged, and educated me. Now, I write out of joy and delight. I hope my stories bring you what they give me.
