Thanks for visiting my profile page. Pictured at left is the closest to my vision of Edward that I could find, actor Henry Cavil.

As you've no doubt discerned by now, I am a huge fan of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. Much to my chagrin, I must grudgingly admit that she is an amazing story teller to have created such captivating characters, unparalleled plots, and magical setting. Due to my intense dislike (and that's putting it mildly) to Breaking Dawn - the fourth and last book of the series - my ardor for Ms Meyer's writing has considerably cooled.

During these many weeks during my writing absence, I have been indulging myself in reading Harry Potter fan fiction stories. Having read so many Twilight fan fiction, it was simply time to move on.

I am a 44 year old stay-at-home mom to my two preteen children. I reside in Seattle, Washington. I am not attractive, brilliant, nor rich. In fact, my life has been filled with as many sorrows, regrets and mistakes as it has been filled with joy, friendships and blessings. Life is tough; the best I can do is to roll with the punches, brush myself off and get back up.

Unfortunately, I find writing quite challenging. I find myself editing and rewriting frequently to improve my prose. I easily fall prey to writer's block.

So please, for the sake of encouraging me, respond and review! I'll try to respond to you too.

Thanks and enjoy!

Notes on Lemony Christmas

I know some of you dear readers must find it abhorrent (or at the very least reluctant to accept) that the Cullens would ever switch sexual partners. After all, they are siblings; each and everyone of them would fight to the death to protect one another. However, I would ask you dear reader to remember that all of them are immortal beings. Consider what it would be like to never die; to experience the same events (weddings, holidays, birthdays, etc.) over and over again. Imagine repeating high school for the umpteenth time. College might be a little easier to swallow eventually - but you'll still have to slog through the same freshman/sophomore prerequisites. You would probably learn five or more languages too after hundreds of courses.

The greatest enemy to our immortal friends must be ennui (boredom). Think about the Volturi. Most of them have been vampires for centuries! They've totally isolated themselves from the outside human world. What would it matter to them who is the present ruler or any human politics - it wouldn't affect them; humans come and go - they are mere food sources.

One of Carlise's greatest strength is his humanity. He strives to interact with humans - being a doctor and working at hospitals is an obvious effort to care for them. It's no wonder that all the Cullens are "vegetarians". In fact, all of the Cullens embrace their humanity.

To partake in sexual activities, is to embrace one's humanity wholeheartedly. Sure, every animal on earth exist to procreate in order to survive as a species, but only humans yearn to luxuriate (thrive) in it. Now imagine having sex thousands of times (since you measure time in centuries being immortal) with the same partner over and over again. Boring! Speaking for myself, I've been having sex with my husband for only twenty years now - and even I begin to daydream after a while.

When Edward fell in love with Bella, as a human, it was refreshing shot of humanity to all of the Cullens. She ignites sexual passion in Edward and in doing so, does it vicariously to the other Cullens too. Consider Bella as the "catalyst" then for the Cullens to "experiment".

One last thought: I must beg you dear readers to suspend a certain amount of belief in reading these mature stories. Being bloodless vampires, it must not be physically possible for any of the males to have engorged, stiff penises. Nor would the females have other bodily fluids to lubricate their lower regions. Let me assure you, dear reader, that I take these liberties with the intention of good clean fun! Enjoy!
