FangMom here- this is my first attempt at writing fan fiction! Wide Awake was the first fan fic I ever read, and since then I’ve been hooked! I finally got brave enough to get in on the action, so here I am.

The story I’m working on currently is called Hide In Plain Sight and I hope you enjoy it!

About me:

I'm 39, and I will be forever. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it!

I grew up overseas (Africa, Italy and Switzerland). The Republic of Texas is my home now!

I’ve been with my husband for 20 years, and we have two kids plus a very overweight cat. My husband is entirely too tolerant of all things Twilight!

I’ve been obsessed with vampires since back in the day with Anne Rice and her Interview With The Vampire series.

I have a borderline unhealthy obsession with The Vampire Diaries television show.

My other obsession is anything related to The Boondock Saints – possibly one of the finest, most under-rated movies every made! The Boondock Saints II was just released in theaters, and I think I love it even more than the first one. Connor and Murphy are God’s perfect men!

I have mad cooking skillz! I’ll try to make anything once. My speciality is Italian cooking, obviously, since I’m Italian!

I like to read (and write!) smutty, smut, smut fanfiction!

Obviously I’m a huge fan of all things Twilight. Robert Pattinson rocks my world! He’s almost young enough to be my son, but he brings out my inner cougar – rowr!

Music that I can’t live without: Muse, Paramore, Kings of Leon, Train, Uncle Kracker, Queen (hey, what can I say, I have eclectic tastes)!
