Author has written 10 stories for Dragon Age, Mortal Instruments, and Divergent Trilogy.

Chapter progress for City of Lies and possible dates of chapter releases will be posted here

:UPDATE:

Epilogue - New Beginning's

Has been updated!

This is the last chapter for City of Lies. Thank you to everyone who has read, reviewed, and supported me through writing it.

-xxxx-

Also, back when I wrote A Final Goodbye, it was when Magnus and Alec only had the one child--Max. Now that we all know about Rafe, I have updated it to include their second son as well.

-xxxx-

Also, Also check out my other stories City of the Unknown and City of Heartache. The telling of City of Bones and City of Ashes in Jace's POV. And What to Text When You're Expecting, a series of texts written between some very pregnant Shadowhunters.

-xxxx-

Also, Also, Also, if you're interested, check out Through the Looking Glass (a Bound Jace POV One-Shot written from CoLS. It was a trip to write), Just For Tonight (a Jace POV One-Shot from part of a chapter in CoLS), A Final Goodbye (A Malec One-Shot that takes place several years after the books), and CoH: Outtakes (pieces of CoH I did not keep in the story). I hope you like them!


Coffee? (check)

Music? (check)

Laptop? (check)

Book? (check)

Some things about me:

I work NOC shift (graveyards), so I often don't get to write when I'm working. When I'm writing, I listen to music. In fact, I create playlists for each chapter to help set the tone I want/need. I have kids and am married (another reason I may not be able to write as often as I'd like). I've been told that I have a knack for writing male POV's better than female POV's. As a girl, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but I take it as a compliment. I love to read (duh!). I love slap-stick and action comedies. I also love horror. I'm addicted to coffee. I'm sure there is more, but I think that's good enough for now.

Music:

One of the most common questions I get asked is what music I listen to when writing. And really, it depends on the chapter and the tone of said chapter. Right now, however, working on City of Lies and being in Jace's head has me listening to a lot of Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, and Cold. You know . . . the angry depressing stuff, lol.

Am I missing anything?

Oh, as I often forget to write in my disclaimers, I will add them here . . .

For Dragon Age: I don't own them, I just like to give them depth. All Biowares.

For Mortal Instruments: Cassandra Clare is brilliant. I haven't been this hooked in a very long time, but alas I don't own them, she does.

For the Divergent Trilogy: Veronica Roth is stellar! Love her and her books, and they ARE her books and characters. I do not own them.

Anyhoo, I think that covers all the stories I have posted so far. So please refrain from suing me. I don't have anything you want, I promise. I sincerely hope you enjoy what I write, and reviews and critique are ALWAYS appreciated!!

Thanks,

Rowan Bells

Broken Heart Rune by TheHardcoreHobbit reviews
He was this beast now. He knew he'd have to come to terms with that. The thing he couldn't accept was the fact that all his runes were gone. Even the one that kept him sane while Jocelyn fell in love with another man.

Fatally Yours by IWriteNaked reviews
Clary wakes up in a strange place with a splitting headache, no idea how she got there, and a Golden Boy telling her they, along with others, have been kidnapped. But there may be more to this place than she originally thought. AU. Some OOC. Clace. Malec. Sizzy. Jaia. Adult Content. Rated M for violence, language, rape and lemons. Bad summary, sorry.

Grandma Prior by Einstein Dachshund reviews
Meet Grandma Prior. Exiled from Abnegation for "unruly and selfish behavior", she is now factionless and only gets to see Beatrice (Tris) and her family sporadically. This will be a collection of encounters with Grandma Prior from Tris's point of view. First and Second chapters will be pre-Divergent. Will not have an ongoing storyline, rather will be a collection of one/two shots.

Home is Where the Heart is by DemyxTheMenace reviews
"All he wants is to crawl up in his soft bed at the Lucky 38, preferably next to his favorite sarcastic doctor with a clean pair of underwear and a belly full of something meaty that wasn't Gecko or Brahmin. Is that too much to ask?" Or the one where all Courier want to do is get home after Honest Hearts. Minor spoilers for HH. Minor Arcade/Male Courier. Ficlet.

Jace always knew how to handle things. He always knew where his life was headed and how to react in any situation. That is, until he meets Clary Fray in Pandemonium.
