The delay

Hello there. Long time no chat. I'm getting a bunch of new reviews and wish to thank whoever is pimping THTF. I cannot express my sadness over the fact that the story hasn't updated.

Just a little about my life in the last year. I went from a full time stay-at-home mom to a full time employee who's taking two classes per semester at a local university. At the same time, my husband started college while working full time as well. My older son started high school, my younger son is finishing elementary school. Both my kids are active in sports and extra-curriculars that keep us hopping.

Ultimately, however, it is the 40-hours a week I'm working that used to be dedicated to writing, researching, editing, and so on that has put the breaks on the story.

THTF is not dead. It will be finished. I do work on it when I have time. Even worse, I have plot bunnies that bang on my brain and demand attention.  I've written a few one shots (Succubus and DART) for various causes and events which have been posted. I've written a series of drabbles I'm afraid to post because I know people will be pissed that I've written those and not THTF.  I also have five chapters of another story written.  (THAT story will never post as a WiP, I will never post a WiP again. Anything I post from now on will be complete before the first word goes public.)

So, I beg your forbearance and ask for your forgiveness. I understand that THTF has lost most of its audience due to the delay. I just hope that those that find it in the future will be able to enjoy the whole story as it will be finished.

My one shot, Succubus, has been posted on Southern Fanfiction Review.  I hope you'll stop by and take a look.  I'll be posting the story on my ffnet profile on Halloween.

Emerging Swan awards

I was just notified that I was nominated for an Emerging Swan award for best Edward/Bella for my one shot DART.  The Emerging Swan Awards’ mission is to bring recognition and acclaim to all those little stories that could.  A huge thank you to the person who nominated me. I really appreciate your support and encouragement

Voting for the award opens August 22 and runs through August 29.  Please check out the stories nominated and vote for your favorites!

Tsunami Outtake Posted

I just posted my Tsunami outtake.  It's Chapter 52 of The Harder they Fall from EPOV.  It's posted in the companion story, The Bigger they Are.  I hope you enjoy it.

I'm still here!

Contrary to what you may have heard...I'm still here.

I apologize for the epic delay in posting THTF.  I was lucky enough to be prescheduled for work everyday this month.  Since my job has been outsourced starting next September, I have to work as much as I can now, while I'm still being paid what I'm worth.  In September I'll only be receiving 75% of my current pay.

Yeah, yeah, I know...quit complaining.  At least I have a job.

THTF has been my baby for nearly two years.  It deserves my full attention when I complete it.  The good news is that the story is almost over.  The bad news is I can't imagine you'll see an update before early July. 

Other THTF news...the one shot I wrote of EPOV of their night together will be posting on June 29.  I will post it in the outtake story, "The Bigger they Are."  Check it out if you haven't already!

Anyone following me on twitter knows I'm also writing a new story.  I'm taking what I learned while writing THTF and putting it to the test.  It's faster paced with short chapters.  I won't post one word of it until it's complete. 

I recently completed a one shot for the Fandom for Sexual Assault Awareness.  I hope you'll read it if you supported the cause.  It's called DART.  The banner below gives you a good idea of the premise.

Thank you for your patience and continued support. 

Need You Now

My one shot, Need You Now, written for FandomFightstheFloods is now posted on Fanfiction.net.  Enjoy!!

Chapter 55 teaser

I have never been an overly religious man.  When I was younger I attended church with my parents for all the major holidays.  However, as an adult, my scientific view of the world has left me with a healthy dose of skepticism.  But now…right now, I knew that God was punishing me for something.
