Hi everyone! I'm Eliza Russell and I love to write. So far I have only published Twilight fanfictions, but I do have to hopes to write for more. I hope you guys like my stories!

Abigail Parks is my wonderful beta, so go check out her stories. If you liked Aurelia's Story* by me, read My Sister by her. Thank you Abigail!

I just want to let you guys know that I am not exactly sure where I want to go with Aurelia's Story so I have deleted that story to give it a little- okay a lot!- of TLC. I do have high hopes that it will eventually be put back up, but it will not be for a while. I am not stopping writing though, I currently have a Carlisle/Esme/O.C story I am working on and hope to make it up to publishing standards and a couple of one-shots I am working on as well. So, at the moment, Hold My Hand has it's first chapters out and I hope everyone likes it!

Thank you for reading!

Let me walk through the fields of paper
touching with my wand
