Good News! Good News!

Thank you to everyone who took the time out of their busy lives to vote for Caught in the Flames for one of the top ten fics completed in August on TwiFanfictionRecs! I have good news. Caught in the Flames is a featured story on the website, which you can find here: TwiFanfictionRecs. Additionally, Caught in the Flames came in THIRD in the top ten!

Thank you so much. I'm so blessed to have such wonderful readers. You are all amazing, wonderful people who manage to make what could have been a very dark, dark time for me, into something special. The loss of my mother while writing this was so hard, but your words of encouragement and love got me through it, helping me to complete the story.

ALSO ... the outtake/futuretake of the story, cataloging Leah's third surrogacy for Bella and Edward, will be posted on Christmas Day for you. I'm working on the plan for it and debating on whether or not to make it in Leah's POV or third person ... we'll see.

For now, I do want to thank you all again. Big squishy hugs to you all!

Excellent News!!!

I got some great news earlier today. Caught in the Flames has been nominated for fic of the month at TwiFanfictionRecs, completed in August. You can vote once per day for each day of September. It's one of TWO stories that are nominated.

I'd appreciate any and all votes you'd be willing to give me so that Caught in the Flames can be one of the top ten fics finished in August.

ALSO, don't forget that I will have a Christmas present for you with an outtake/futuretake about their third baby with Leah as their surrogate. Thank you to everyone who has read this story and supported me while I overcame the death of my mother, using writing as an outlet.

God bless you all and please vote here:

Exciting Announcement

Yesterday, I hit complete on my story, Caught in the Flames. It was a labor of love and a bit of a struggle for me to finish. Part of it was due to my personal issues that I had to contend with. The loss of my mother was a huge factor and the main reason why I made their first baby a girl, named after my mom, Marie. The other part of it was lack of enthusiasm to write. The personal issues didn't help, nor did some reviews I received about the fic.

But that's all behind me now.

I'm proud of what I wrote and I feel like I told Bella and Edward's story to the best of my ability. A number of you requested that I do a sequel, but after thinking about it, I don't think a sequel would be that good. I don't have enough to continue with their lives. Out-takes and future-takes are the way that I'm leaning right now.

Keep Caught in the Flames on alert. I am planning on doing few future-takes for this story. The first one will come around Christmas. It will be Leah's POV and revolve around the third baby. I have a couple in the works as well that will be posted periodically. However, the first one will come out probably on my mother's birthday, December 27th. It will be a full-length chapter.

I hope that appeases the masses. *Snorts*

For now, Baby Cullen #3 says adieu!
