A book review...

2011-08-30T18:56:00.000-07:00

This review is also posted on my blog The Twigasm...well it was mainly posted there, now its also going to be posted here as well. So here we go :) Make sure you check this book out trust me ;)

Well it is that time again, for me to let you know what I am currently reading from my bookshelf. It’s a brand new gem of a book and the kicker is… this amazing book hasn’t been released yet. Yes, you heard me correctly. I was lucky enough to receive a sneak peek at this amazing book. Mocked by Faith is a beautifully written gem from Michele Richard

I’m so excited that I get to be one of the first people to tell you all about this book. I read this book as soon as I got my “hands on it” more like as soon as my computer downloaded the attachment file of the book. The Writers Coffee Shop Publishing House has let me into their world of books to bring reviews of their upcoming books to you!   I will tell you one thing I started reading Michele’s first book a few days before they sent me this one and I couldn’t put it down.

I was asked to put together a review in words about the book and my thoughts about it. The thing is, this book can’t be justified by a few words of my review and to be honest you need to read this book to fully be able to appreciate it and enjoy it.. But, I’m going to try my hardest to paint a picture of it for you then you can decide for yourselves since words for once have failed me to come close to describing this talented writer and her extraordinary book.

This story line and character development were truly remarkable, I felt as if I was living the story among the characters and literally felt emotionally connected to them. This books amazing story had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened next.    I even had to run back to this book when I was cooking dinner in between my hamburger frying and the pasta boiling to discover what happened next.   So what I’m saying is I couldn’t walk away from it without going crazy and running back to turn the page to find out what had happened to Alexia and Justin.

I read this book in one day… actually it was about nine hours to finish reading the whole book and Richard does amazing job of creating a world that completely immerses you into their world and I did not want to leave until the story was over. This is one of the few books on my shelf that I completely read in a day and could not wait to find out what happened next.

While reading about the lives of her two main characters and the hardships they had to overcome, I literally felt as if I was inside the story living through it all with them. It was as if Alexia jumped right out of the book and pulled me in between the pages with her then she let me stay in the guest room so I could see and hear everything.

The book’s main character is Alexia Cross and her world isn’t like most of ours. Living in her world, girls around her age are already promised to be married off to a man. This is decided by the girl’s father and mother who pick a husband for her. In today’s society most of us would roll our eyes at hearing about arranged marriages. Most cultures think it is an outdated practice and would think is the most ridiculous thing in the world. But you see, Alexia lives in a community called The Gates and it is the just the way they do things.

One day it finally happens for her…her parents find what they deem the perfect guy for her. Alexia and Justin are thrown together without even knowing each other.   You heard me correct they don’t even know each other. Not like us you know we spend a few years together so we know the person we marry, not for these two they really had no clue. They have to live through the ups and downs of the new marriage and endure a life together. While learning to get to know each other, could you even imagine that? Not knowing a person before you marry them, then have to spend the rest of your life with them? That’s how it was for Alexia and Justin and you get a front roll seat into their life’s.

This book is an emotionally charged rollercoaster ride filled with happiness and angst all combined in a whirlwind between two book covers.

The story is filled with tons of drama, excitement and tons of love. Remember how I said I felt as if I was living in the characters shoes? One part in particular had me crying my eyes out. As I read the words on the page containing a certain part of their life, I could feel every breath she was taking and every tear she let drop. I could feel it deep down and I couldn’t help but cry right along with them. Just read the little piece of the story below to feel a tiny bit of that feeling.

“Hey, Alicia. I miss you. Everything is a mess right now, and I don’t know what to do anymore. I need to ask you a favor.” A stream of tears started to fall from my clenched eyes. “I know Kaiden is with you now. Take care of my son for me? He’s just a baby and needs someone to look after him while he’s waiting for me.”

“You don’t have to ask her to do that. She loved you, and you know in your heart she’s already holding him for you,” my mother’s voice rang out.

“How would you know what she felt?” I chided.

“When Dr. Brackett did an ultrasound, we saw you two hugging. That’s when we saw the cord wrapped around her neck. He tried to do an emergency C-section, but it was already too late. She died in your arms.”

(Mocked by Faith chapter 24)

I love books that can do this to a reader, they suck you in, let you live the story and then feel every emotion of the characters and those very emotions hit you and you end up laughing the hardest you ever have or crying so hard that you run out of tissues. That’s how I know the author of this book is a true author. Michele Richard is a true talent and I for one cannot wait for more from her.

So now it’s your turn…come on as soon as this book is released, order it and jump into this world head first with me. Seriously I’ll read this book over and over again with each and every one of you! So don’t forget this title. Write it down, right now…I mean get a piece of paper and write it down! Mocked by Faith by Michele Richard and It is published by The Writers Coffee Shop Publishing House and it is being released on August 25th, 11.

It’s never easy saying “I do” to someone you don’t know ~ Mocked by Faith

Im srsly thinking about it...

2011-07-04T19:05:00.000-07:00

I've been thinking about taking my blog The Twigams and turning it into an actual website, but not sure if i want too. What does everyone think? Srsly I need your opinions!

I'm going to attempt....

2011-06-13T18:33:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone, I'm going to attempt to do something different with my new fic Broken Carousel. I've been seeing a new trend of posting short chapters every day. Well I think I'm going to give it a shot with this fic. So Heres the deal, You will get a short chapter every day till the story is done, some days you might get a longer chapter or two posts in one day. I'm not promising anything and I don't know if I can pull this off but I'm going to give it a try. I hope my loyal readers will like where I go with this story and I can't wait to start, the main thing I need first is a good beta for it. So Thats what I'm on the look out for right now.

I'm looking for a few pre-readers for my newer stories. If you would want to do this please send me a email to lady.ofthemist@yahoo.com.

I have a new story Broken Carousel and one that is in the works called The Untouchables that I will need pre-readers for.

What I mainly need is for some people to read my chapters and let me know what they think. Constructive criticism only though, nothing mean please.

Thanks,

Today is a erkful day I swear...

2011-05-31T06:27:00.000-07:00

Today hasn't even really began and its already an erkful day. Srsly I hate it when people act they know what they are talking about and when they don't and you call them out on it they still act like they do. Acting like this only makes them look like a baby.

Acting like you know about something that you clearly don't, srsly why do that? Why not say okay I really don't know about that. Why try to act like your better than everyone else or one up them in eveything they say. GRRR srsly it erks me to no end.

I have a girl in my class in college that does that and I srsly just want to yell at her and say grow the fuck up please. Stop trying to act like your better than me. No one is better than no one!!!!

I srsly have no clue how much more I can take of her. Telling my idea is stupid b/c she thinks so is bullshit.

Sorry I just had to rant some. I just wish for one day in class that I didn't have to put up with her shit. I can't wait to go to NKU in Jan.

Working my Ass off!!!

2011-05-20T12:16:00.000-07:00

Well I have been working my ass off on so many things these days. One being The Twigasm blog. I redid everything on it and now it looks perfect finally. hehe. It took me several months and a lot of codding to get everything so so and now its finally the way I want it. I'm so happy with it though. I hope everyone else is as well.

Ive been working my ass off at school to crazy as shit has been going on. One being these crazy projects we had to do for Reflexology and it drove me crazy too. Thank God for Josh he helped me out a lot on that project. (I'll add a pic of the project later)

Next thing I've been doing is working really hard to get some writing done. One being The Unbreakable Bond...its finally done and written. I have 21 Chapters and the epi finished. It took me a long time to get it done. But it finally is now. The Epilogue is with Lindz now. Its kind of sad for me to say its done. I've been writing it for almost 2 years, even that's hard to believe lol. But its done now. There is still two stories in The Unbreakable Saga left to write though, so that's always something.

I also have two new stories I'm working on Broken Carousel and The Untouchables. The Untouchables is a very secret story that no one knows about and Broken Carousel is my old story that was called ETC but since I'm writing it alone I renamed it and I'm redoing it. I'm still working on Chasing Fire, Kate Denali: The Untold Story, The Runaway Daughter, and my other new one Hidden Aria as well. I really like writing Hidden Aria its very different. I've also been working on another blog lol... one only for my writing. It has everyone of my stories on it and posted. Its called Lady Ali's Fan Fics its not complete yet though, still working on that one lol.

Yeah its been crazy around here lately, but I've been getting a lot done and I'm actually happy again. It feels good to be happy and myself. I started working out again too and I love the feeling of it as well.

I hope you all are great and happy and having a great week. I'm going to try to start posting more here on this blog as well. I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Chasing Fire Chapter 9 ~ Let The Flames Begin Teaser

I now had a decision to make…sell the house, rent it out again, or just keep it. I couldn’t make up my mind on what I wanted to do with it. I knew I wasn’t moving back in, I defiantly couldn’t do that now. In the beginning I moved because everything reminded me of Lindz now everything reminded me of Lindz and Bella. A total double whammy of emotions in one place.

Chapter coming very soon :) Also the music for this chapter is a song by Paramore...Called Let the Flames Begin ...

Hidden Aria Chapter 1 Teaser

2011-02-21T17:30:00.000-08:00

Chapter One ~ Beauty From My Pain (Teaser)

All the day locked up was torture. Surrendering to the pain and crushing weight of knowing I could have done something to save them was the worst of all. I could stand the day after day of being underground, tucked away from view of everyone in the world. But knowing I was there, not five feet away from my father and I had done nothing. I listened as they were all killed…tucked away like I am now.

From that day I had been tucked hidden away from fear. Fear of being found by the one that killed my family. Fear of being told I didn’t try. Fear of everything. Even my own reflection pains me. Looking in a mirror at my own image staring back at me shot daggers through my heart. Reminding me that I gave up, didn’t even try to fight. I was a coward, plain and simple.

Also here is a song teaser as well....

and also this song...

I hope you enjoy this...Let me know what you think!!!

Hidden Aria Prologue

2011-02-21T17:25:00.000-08:00

The Hidden Aria

Prologue

That night, I remember more than any night in my whole life so far. My little brother was upstairs with my mom and my dad and I were downstairs playing hide and seek. It was my turn to hide and I hid where I always did. Under the stairs of our house was a little room, I always snuck in there and watched my dad through the little crack in the door. Id watch as he’d act like he had no clue where I was. I remember giggling even that night wondering how long he would act like he didn’t know.

Then it happened… the loud bang and the door flew open. My dads face as he seen who it was at the door is forever burned into my brain. His eyes cut to mine and he mouth his last word to me…Stay. I went to say something but he shuck his head at me to stop.

Covering my mouth with my hands, I watched while silent tears trailed down my cheeks as he killed my daddy. I watched as the green light came from his wand and those words crept from his mouth. Arvada Carvada. My daddy landed on the floor, not even having a chance to react. A sob almost slipping from my lips as the man stepped over my father and went up the stairs toward the rest of my family.

At six years old you would think I would have screamed, but I couldn’t. I wanted to get out of there, but I had no idea where to go. So I stayed there. I watched and listened. I seen another green light but this time it was different. I heard a lot of noise, my mommy scream and then everyone ran out of the house. And then I was left all alone. Well I thought that, it didn’t take long till there was someone at our house.

This person headed straight up the stairs, to where my baby brother was crying. I still didn’t move a muscle…or speak. I was still in shock I guess. I shrunk back as far as I could into the little hole under the stairs. Making sure no one knew I was there. I heard the person leave and realized they had my baby brother.

It was quiet after that…way to quiet. I peaked out of my little hole in the wall hiding spot and the first thing I saw again was my daddy looking at me, no life in his eyes at all. The happiness that had just been visible on his face gone. Slamming the door back, I stayed hidden for the rest of the night, curled up in a little ball. Hidden away from view of anyone that might come back to finish what they had started.

***

Sitting here on this wooden park bench staring off into the orange and pink morning sky, I tried to shake off the memories of that night, the very night I lost everything. My mom, dad, and baby brother. But most of all I lost my life as I knew it. My life would never be the same.

Now as I sit here, I can watch him from a distance, never getting close enough to talk to him. The one that I really would give anything to talk to. To tell him my story, of who I was. To tell him I’m sorry that I couldn’t help him. But I wasn’t allowed. If they knew I was here in the first place I would be yelled at. Being yelled at by this particular person was torture…for me at least.

   “What are you doing here?” Busted…

   “Um… I want to…I want to talk to him. Keeping me away from what’s actually left of my family is crazy. I could help him…” I blurted out the same lines that I have said over a million times since I found out that he was still alive.

   “Aria listen to me, you can’t talk to him. He can’t know you exist. No one can know who you are. Do you understand that. You are too precious to lose…to me, to him…to our world. You have to stay put and let him go for now. Let him discover who you are on his own. He has no clue he even has a sister and it has to stay that way for now.”

Huffing I got up from the bench and sulked back into the shadows. That’s what my life had become, shadows. Shadows of my past and present merging together. I hadn’t known the fate of my little brother till about two weeks ago. I had thought he was dead and now that I know he’s alive I just want to talk to him.

I sulked as I appropriated and headed all the way back to the one place I actually felt safe. A place that most people cringe at. I’ve seen them, every time they pass the shreds of the life I once had they cringe. The house was in shambles, but still half way standing. What no one knew was that below the shambles, was a whole other place to live.

It was actually build by my dad, no one really knew about it that was still alive, except for the one that saved me from the house and two others.

I was a secrete hidden away for my own protection and for my brothers. They all thought the one that killed my family would come after me and use me to get to the only one left in my family. My baby brother…Harry Potter.

I stopped in front of the house and just starred at what was left of a happy joyous family home. It was my prison now.

Taking a deep breath and looking around making sure no one saw me, I headed into the back yard. Over to my favorite tree in our backyard, taking out my wand I slowly swiped it over the tree bark up and down side to side two times. As the last swipe went across a faint click sounded and the ground gave away to a flight of stairs leading down to my home.

Taking a deep breath I looked around to catch a pair of eyes looking at me. It was a pair of eyes that I could stare at for years. To say I was in love with the person that those very eyes belonged to was an understatement. He was the one that saved me. He had been taken from me and gone a very long time. But he came back to me about a month ago and hasn’t left me much since. As he winks at me he walks on his way down the road. Frowning I descend the stairs to my secrete hideaway. I really was hoping he was going to stay for dinner or just come in for a bit. I missed having people to talk to. I only had three people to talk to and I’m craving company.

After watching the stairs close me in, I opened up the metal door and headed in. Through a couple corridors I went straight to my room and threw myself on my bed.

My name is Arianna Lillian Potter, I’m nineteen and I’m the sister of the boy that lived. But no one knows me like they know my brother. I don’t exist…not yet anyway. I have a destiny and I will live up to it.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

So what did you all think...please let me know

New Banner for Love Was Lost Forever

2011-02-03T18:44:00.000-08:00

Hey you all, I asked you all yesterday about posting this story...well I ended up posting it on ff.net and free writers, so far. But anyway, I went to an amazing banner maker and asked her to make a new banner for the story and this is what she sent me...omg I love it. Thanks Eva!!!

So what do you all think of this amazing banner?? Isn't it so pretty!

I really want to post this...

2011-02-02T16:31:00.000-08:00

I really want to post one of my older stories, one I wrote about almost 3 years ago. But I don't know if anyone would read it. I'm losing readers b/c I haven't been able to post much and It saddens me that I have no idea how to get you all back. So should I post this or not?? That is a huge question....

Here's the banner for the story I'm talking about and a clip of it...

See its so old that I don't even have a new banner for it yet lol... But this story was one of my favs to write and would love for it to be posted some where. Here's a little piece of it...Please let me know what you think...

I didn’t wait to listen to anymore, I was out of the house. I ran the fastest than I had ever ran in my life. I could hear them following me but I didn’t care! I made it there and Sam was sitting outside. He gave me the most evil stare I’ve ever seen. He must have known what I said to Leah I didn’t care. I tried to push past him but he wouldn’t let me in. I just stood there staring at him. Finally Seth and Quil showed up and looked at us. They looked like they didn’t know what to do. Finally Billy came out and put his hand on Sam’s shoulder.

“Sam, she’s mourning right now, she has no clue what she said to Leah. Let her say goodbye. Look at her Sam, this might just kill her too. Remember the story of the other imprint and the wolf that imprinted on the girl that died. Remember how the wolf killed himself, now we don’t wont Nessie to do that now do we?” Billy said to Sam, they both looked at me and right then I felt like I was dead, I was inside at least.

Billy grabbed my hand and lead me into Jake’s room. I could feel him there, I could smell him there. I walked in by myself, Billy left me at the door. Jake was laying there on his bed. It looked like he was sleeping. He looked so peaceful. I didn’t really know what to do. I knew what I wanted to do but I didn’t know if it was okay. So I asked for Billy to come back in.

“Billy is it okay if I lay down there with him? I want to say goodbye if I can.” I said this with tears in my eyes. He looked up at me with loving caring eyes and told me.

“Honey, you do what you need to do. He loved you. I would never begrudge you this time with him. You do what you feel like you want to do.” He went to leave the room but I stopped him.

“Billy do you think he knew, did he know I loved him?” I whispered barley audible.

“ Of course he did sweetheart. He knew. Don’t you worry about that!” He told me. Then he walked out of the room and left me with my true love that was gone from me forever!

I laid down in his bed with him and wrapped my arms around him. I kissed his cheek and told him exactly everything I wanted to tell him, all the stuff that I had kept from him. Exactly how much I loved him. How I didn’t want to live without him. How much I really needed him. How much my heart ached without him. I laid there for hours. Then I think I must have fallen asleep there. Because I was woken up by Billy telling my mom that I was okay that I fell asleep in there talking to Jake. My mom asked to see him again and he let her. She walked in and seen me, I was acting like I was asleep though. So she whispered to Jake.

“Jake, I can’t believe your gone. I miss you so much. You were my best friend, I love you so much. We all don’t know what to do without you. I saw the letter and the ring you gave Nessie! Jake I don’t know if she can handle this. I’m so worried about her. I’m going to go ahead and take her home now. Miss you and love you always. I’ll never forget you My Jacob!”

With that she picked me up and took me home. I didn’t want to leave him there, I wanted to stay in his arms forever, but it felt like Jake wasn’t there. He was already cold and my Jake was never cold, but it was still him and I needed him.

So should I post it, its only 7 chapters long and an epi. What do you think??? Please help!

Kate Denali: The Untold Story

2011-02-02T15:56:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone, I wanted to share with you all something I've been working on. Its a story all about Kate Denali. From right before she was changed, what actually happened to her before she was changed that actually caused the change, all the way up to past Breaking Dawn.

I will be posting this one on ff.net very soon. I hope you all will check it out!

But for now here's a little teaser for it....

It’s almost been a thousand years since that day, that horrendous day that set everything in motion. A day that is forever burned into my mind and my daily thoughts.

Katrina Sloveski died that day at the hands of her father, but she was brought back to life…If that’s what you call it.

I'll let you know as soon as I post it. What do you all think...

Thanks,
~Lady Ali~

Song for Chapter 8 - Temporary Home (Chasing Fire)

2011-02-02T12:56:00.000-08:00

I almost forgot to add the song vid for this chapter...here it is Temporary Home by Carrie Underwood.

Chasing Fire Chapter 8 - Temporary Home ...

2011-02-02T12:45:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone, I know its been a while, but guess what I got a new chapter posted...
Chasing Fire Chapter 8 ~ Temporary home is now posted....

And look at this amazing banner that Lindz made for it...isn't it beautiful. Trust me it captures the chapter beautifully.

Teaser:

“Daddy, I love you and I will miss you more than anyone will ever know. You were always my rock and now I’m so lost and have no idea what to do. What do I do daddy?

You're gone….You always said this was our temporary home, that we all would die and go to our real home. That this wasn’t where we really belonged. Just a stop. You said windows and rooms we pass through, that they wouldn’t hold you. I know you're there... You're finally home.”

I had to stop briefly to calm my shaking and steady my breathing, just a second before I kept going. I wanted more than anything to run out of here…run as far as I could. But I couldn’t disgrace him like that. He was my dad. He was strong for me, strong for everyone around him, so on this day I would at least try to be strong for him. So after a huge breath I went on.

“I know you're watching over me. Protecting me. I know you would want me to be happy, I’ll try, I promise. You always asked that I didn’t cry for you, that I’d see you again someday. But it's too hard not to cry, sorry I just can’t keep that promise.”

Like I said if you are still following my story, check this chapter out!!!

Chasing Fire Chapter 8 - Temporary Home

Unbreakable Bond Chapter 20 is posted....

2011-01-02T11:50:00.000-08:00

Chapter 20 - Shredded Memories (Alex’s POV) is now posted on all my sites. FFFW, FF.net, and Free Writers and Readers all these links will take you to this story. Here is a little glimpse into the chapter as well..

"Hello," I whispered into the phone, my voice cracking. I was hoping he wouldn't notice but of course he realized it.

"Alex, what's wrong?"

I couldn't help but break down. I couldn't play my part and act as if everything was okay when it wasn't. I was laying here in my living room floor a heaping mess. I couldn't even move. I needed help so I asked for it.

"Seth can you…can you come get me."

"Alex what's going on? Of course I can come get you. I'll head that way as soon as you tell me what's going on. Tell me why you can't just get in your car and come here."

By the time he had stopped questioning me, I heard my grandma sue in the background.

"Seth, please…I can't move put grandma on."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T MOVE…IF THAT HUSBAND OF YOURS HURT YOU I'M GOING TO…" he growled but didn't get to finish what he was saying because I heard my grandma grab the phone from him.

"Give me the phone, Seth," I heard her say as he was still yelling a string of profanities in the background.

"Alex, honey what's going on?" This time I really broke down hearing her voice. but I couldn't get it all out. I was in and out of it and all I really wanted was her to be here.

Teaser: Chasing Fire Chapter 7 Little Helpless Lamb

2010-09-01T18:50:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone, I know its been awhile since I've really wrote...but guess what here is a teaser for the next chapter of Chasing Fire... I hope you enjoy it. Please let me know what you think!

Firefighter down, Firefighter down…

Those words are the worst things to hear for a fellow firefighter. To hear that one of your brothers is down is beyond what your brain can actually comprehend. As those words rang out over all the pagers, it was like all else ceased to exist, everything stood still. All we could think of was who was it? How bad are they hurt? In my own head all those questions ringing out in everyone else’s head were coupled with Is it my mom, my brother, Jasper…

Your brain can torment you, can bring up all the different visions of the what ifs. What if it was Esme what would I do with out my mom? What if it was Emmett, how would I cope with losing a brother? When I had already lost so much in my life, how could I handle losing them too.

What did you think...I know I know. Just don't throw any rocks at me please!

OMG I'm so excited....

2010-07-25T10:13:00.000-07:00

Teaser for The Unbreakable Bond Chapter 19

2010-07-02T20:14:00.000-07:00

I am so sorry its been so long since I've wrote anything for this story or any of my stories. Life's been crazy lately and its come in between me and the things I love to do...writing. But anyways I'm back to it and this chapter will be posted very soon on all the sites I am on! Thanks so much for being patient with me and I love you all for that.

Please don't kill me with this next chapter though...This is where this story has to go! But here is the teaser for Chapter 19~ The Happiest Day That Ends In Sorrow

I hugged Emily as she hugged me back, just like she always did, but it was there I could feel it. She was upset about the decision I had made.

“I’m happy for you, just be happy Alex. That’s all that matters,” Emily said with me still in her arms. I smiled at her and nodded.

“Thanks Emily.” As I looked around for the missing person of her family she knew exactly what I was trying to do.

“He’s not here Alex, I’m sorry.”

“It’s not your fault. I’m upset with him for what he’s done to you all though. Leaving and not coming around and seeing his family, that is so not like him. He loves you all dearly…” I couldn’t get the rest of what I was going to say to Emily because I was interrupted by Tallia, Liam’s little sister.

“He loves you too but you trampled on his heart, you’re the reason he’s not with us.” She didn’t even give me a second to respond before storming off and out of the tent area. She totally shocked me for saying what everyone else was thinking.

Make sure you tell people that this teaser is posted...I really could use some more followers for this blog...Thanks for everything...let me know what you think.

Writer's Help!!!

2010-06-25T10:39:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone, Long time no blogging lol, sorry its been a while, you know how Real Life is…..Crazy !!!! Lol..

Okay so you all know I’m writing my novel right now and let me tell you all, writing a novel isn’t as easy as it sounds. You can’t just sit down and writing. You have to research and study and it’s a lot of side work before you can even begin.

So I went to a writers group a week or so ago and Loved it. Read my premise to them and they were so intrigued and of course that made me so excited. But anyway lol, We did a exercise out of a book that I now swear by. Its by Todd A. Stone and its called Novelist’s Boot Camp. Its written by a guy that was in the military and you can tell by the way this book is written. I fell in love with the exercise and decided to check out the book and it has helped me so much.

So I thought maybe since it helping me with my writing it might help you all as well.

There is also a blog about the book: Novelists Boot Camp Blog

Okay that’s it for me lol for the day anyway! I hope this helps you all out.

Bye!!!

OMG This is So Fucking Funny!

2010-05-28T18:14:00.001-07:00

This is Rob on the MTV Awards Promo! lol...Watch it you will die laughing...

This is the one of the hundreds of Reason's I love me some Kellan! lol

2010-05-28T18:08:00.000-07:00

He cares so much for his mom! Awww, he's so freakin Sweeeettt..

Isn't he just awwww! He's so giving and so sweet.

Lifes a Bitch...But just maybe...(rant)

2010-05-26T10:49:00.000-07:00

You know sometimes in life, we just want to be happy. You know put ourselves first and smile. But you know life is a bitch and she kicks you when your down. It's hard to smile when you feel all alone and beat down.

But I've been thinking, maybe we should kick Life back, beat the shit out of Life. Be happy no matter what! Tell yourself I'm going to smile at least 10 times today. No matter what happens I'm going to smile and laugh. Its the only way to make it through the bad things in life.

I've made this promise to myself today and I'm going to tell you its not easy. When the kids are running around screaming 'Mommy I need this or Mommy I want this' and you just want to pull your hair out and scream back, that's that time when its hard to just smile. But I'm trying and that's the best I can do.

So today, I say fuck it all. Fuck off Life and fuck being sad all the damn time! I am only going to try to put myself first. If I'm not happy then no one will be around me, because I will bring everyone down. So I'm determined not to do that.

Better Writing Tips From Other Authors

2010-05-10T11:15:00.000-07:00

These are some tips from other authors that I got from other blogs and sites...I figured they might help those writers out there that are wondering how the other authors do it...

1. Pull up a couch. “My best advice for writing fiction: act like your character’s therapist. When you put your characters in therapy, you discover their hidden fears and secrets, and all the motivation you need for their behavior.” – Kelly Simmons, novelist and former journalist

2. Find the characters’ motivation. “In real estate it’s location, location, location. In fiction writing, it’s motivation, motivation, motivation. The art of creating believable characters is knowing their motivation. Why are your characters doing what they are doing? What do they hope to gain? What about their past makes achieving this goal so important? Why did they chose this course over another? Things don’t just happen. There are no coincidences. Everything is, or should be, driven.” – Laurel Bradley, writer

3. Heed the classic successful writing advice. “Show, don’t tell, the reader is my fiction writing tip. Readers need details to visualize your words. They need to smell the perfume, taste the wine, feel the cashmere. Don’t just say it was a beautiful sunset; describe it in vivid detail.” – Mark Grabowski, journalism professor

4. Make your fiction make sense. “The best writing advice I can give is: fiction has to make sense. So – do your homework! If you’re writing about a place you’ve never been, make sure that what you say about the place and the real people who live there is true. Lately I’ve seen writers put a huge Western-style ranch in an Eastern state, describe a modern Indian reservation in 1880s terms, and refer to nonexistent airplane routes. Most readers can overlook small mistakes, but big mistakes can be jarring enough to wreck your story, especially when a quick online search is all that’s needed to locate the facts.” – Trudy W. Schuett, writer and librarian

5. Set and meet your writing deadlines. “Having a deadline draws you forward, past the demons and doubts and into the land of completion. As Rob Hartzler, a wise artist friend of mine, told me, “It doesn’t exist unless it’s finished.” - Claire Bardos, screenplay writer

6. Write freehand — it also helps with editing and revising. “My fiction writing tip is to write freehand. I wrote my entire book freehand and then went back and typed it. Although this was time consuming, my ideas and thoughts flowed easily with pen and paper versus when I tried to write using the keyboard/computer. In addition to writing freehand, I was told to write on a huge tablet and to use a pen that wrote smoothly. My tablet was 14×17 so whenever I wrote in public people would stare in wonder about what in the world I was doing.” – Kelly Damron, writer and blogger

These tips came from this site: The Adventurous Writer blog this blog has a lot of different tips and tricks, its a great blog, you should check it out.

I hope some of these tips help you out, they have helped me. Okay back to the wonderful journey of writing my own manuscript!

Lady Ali's Weekly Fan Fic Recommendations

2010-05-08T19:43:00.000-07:00

Okay everyone its that time again, this week I only have one it is The Red Line. I read this story a long time ago actually about a year ago, but I started reading it again due to the group I'm in called The Fanfictionistas on FFFW, well I fell in love with the story all over again.

This story has it all, emotion, suspence, love, everything. I know it will drag you in just like it did me, and if you have read it, read it again!

In this story Edward is a Male stripper, dancer, whore, toy what ever you want to call it, but he does this for a reason...( you will have to read to find out what that reason is). Bella ends up hireing him so to say to help her on a paper for college, he ends up helping Bella in his own way too hehe...

Trust me this is a must read, actually it is my number one fan fic in my book. It is the best one ever!

What the Author says about the story:

Edward is an exotic male dancer. Bella is a college student studying psychology and needs a subject to do her thesis on. Bella pays Edward to belong to her for 2 weeks so she can study him. Things soon get very interesting between them.

Something to help any writer who is writing Fantasy or Sifi...

2010-05-08T19:34:00.000-07:00

You have to check this out, if you are a writer of Fantasy or Sifi, this is a site I found yesturday, while trying to come up with some new ideas for my new fantasy novel.

This site is by a Fantasy Sifi writer himself, Jeffrey A. Carver, its a site where he takes your through the steps of writing. Its for any age and made for any age. I love that, it means kids could go on there and learn just as much as an adult.

There are activities on there to get your brain working and get your ideas out and on to paper.

I just wanted to show you all this site and hope it helps you out as much as it has me. I was having a total brain fart and couldn't figure out where I wanted to take my story and taking a few of the lessons helped me to come up with plenty of ideas to jump start the story again.

Take a look, if it helps great and if it don't no harm no foul at least you looked right? lol...

Jeffreys Writing Sifi and Fantasy lessons...

2010-05-01T09:22:00.000-07:00

This week I promised you all three fan fic. recs, so here you go, this one is the third. Again this story is from the site Twilighted.com.

The story is called Dirty Dancing with the Devil Herself by JayJay Hale

This story will totally capture you and not let you go. You will be so stuck and you wont want to get away. This story is a little different then your used too, its like some but still different.

Bella is of course devastated after Edward leaves her, but what would happen to the Cullens after Edward made them leave? Would they be devastated as well. I think they would and so did the writer of this story. This store shows the Cullens totally devastated and riped apart from leaving Bella.

The thing is many years later Bella isn’t the same as she was, she’s changed dramically. She’s not the weak frail Bella anymore, she’s tough and works in a bar for god sakes! Lol…

What happens when one of the Cullens stumple upon her in that bar and can’t believe what they see. This Cullen brings Bella back and she sees Edward again. What will Edward do and what will hard core Bella say to Edward. She was hurt so bad, could you have forgiven Edward? I guess you will have to read to find out if this Bella does!

Trust me this one is another must read. I got addicted to it and couldn’t put it down. Just the title caught me…lol.

How the writer describes this story: Edward left Bella, forcing his family to stay away from her. Six years onwards, the Cullens are a mess without Bella and Emmett decides to get away from his angry, angst ridden family and let loose. What he finds in the meanest biker bar in Seatle will send shockwaves through his entire family.

The Unbreakable Bond Chapter 18 Teaser!

2010-04-28T17:37:00.000-07:00

Teaser Time hehe...

Screeching the tires we headed towards our place. I had no clue what to say to him so I kept quiet. As soon as we got home, he threw his door open and came around yanking mine open and yanking me out of the car pushing me towards the condo. Once inside the lobby he acted like nothing was wrong, even smiled at the security guard. I didn’t, I was freaking out inside, screaming on the inside for the security guard to call the cops if he heard me screaming.

The only other time I had ever seen him this angry was at one of my birthday parties where he ended up knocking me over, but that anger wasn’t directed at me, it was towards Liam. Now, though, he was angry at me and in the elevator he was shooting daggers at me with his eyes. I wouldn’t actually looking at him though, just out of the corner of my eye. I couldn’t breath I was so scared.

The elevator doors opened and we went to our door and opened it and I walked in. He came in and slammed the door so hard that my pictured fell from the wall shattering the glass into a million little slivers of glass.

Startled by the glass breaking I backed into the living room scared shitless. I couldn’t catch my breath at all, he stalked towards me like a predator. I kept my eyes on him but not really meeting his eyes. He got right up in my face and started yelling at me.

“What where you doing with those guys? What do you think you were doing? You are mine. Do you hear me? Mine! You do not hang out with guys!”

I was shaking so bad I almost fell to the floor but somehow I stood my ground.

“Taylor you knew where I was and who I was with. What do you think I was doing? We were studying for an exam coming up. God, do you think I would go out and cheat on you seriously?”

He just looked down at me and turned around grabbed his keys, but when he got over to the door, he looked over at my newest painting I had hung there and he punched right through it and the wall. My painting fell to the floor at the same time as me. The wall crumpled under his fist, and he walked out the door, leaving me there all alone and crumbled on the floor.

Hey Everyone, I promised you two more Rec's so here is one more! This one is a story that caught my attention on the top tens list on Twilighted. Its called Through Your Eyes.

Author's Summary:

Bella Swan was born completely blind and to escape the torment from her peers in Phoenix she opts to move to Forks, Washington with her father to finish her last two years of high school. Alice Cullen is selected to help Bella get around the school for her first few days, and a friendship is formed. But no one in Forks knows of Bella's secret gift that leaves her with extra insight into the world around her, until Alice puts two and two together. Bella never imagined that when she left Phoenix for the safety of the small rural town she would be placing herself in a world unlike anything she had ever imagined.

What I say about this amazing fic:

This story is so different that it caught my eye and I started to read it and I couldn't stop. I didn't even want to stop reading it when I had to go to bed. I'm all for pulling all nighters to read, but I have kids that get up at like 6 am so yeah I have to go to bed. But anyway, this story is amazing. It will capture you and not let you go.

Bella is blind and has been all her life, but Bella has a big secret, when she comes to Forks she meets *duh da duh* the Cullen's, who of course have their secrets. Her life ends up entangled with theirs just like in Twilight but this is way different then Twilight. The wolfs are in it. Jake is in it.

Oh and you will go crazy and stare at your screen when she meets Edward and not just because it is Edward. hehe...Something happens between them and you will be like wow! Trust me this is a must read. Its on my top 20 list! Out of all the fics I've read that means damn this fic is amazing!

The next Rec will be posted in a couple of days!

Trust me its one of my new top 10 favs.

When Bella is forced to move on from Edward and leave that part of her life behind, she finds a new life with Jacob.

What happens when Edward reappears in her life five years later?

Chasing Fire chapter 5 Teaser

2010-04-19T18:43:00.000-07:00

Chapter 5~ Life of the Everyday Probbie(Jakes POV) Teaser…

I could smell the smoke in the mid-day air before I heard the sirens. I knew it had to be close. Running up the beach a little from where I was hanging out with my friends, I could see the flames billowing out of Sam Uleys house.

Standing there staring at the house being engulfed in flames, I suddenly heard a woman screaming for help. Looking in every direction, I heard the sirens but they were still a ways off, and I was just a kid(,) I couldn’t do anything. She was begging and praying for help. I knew the voice, it was Sam’s fiancé, Emily…

“HELP….PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME…SAM, PLEASE COME SAVE ME…I CAN’T GET…” I could hear her coughing and knew the smoke was getting to her. I desperately was praying right along with her that Sam and the firemen got to her fast enough.

I knew this was going to devastate Sam but he was a tough fireman; he could go in there and get her and come out with nothing wrong.

Rewriting one of my first Fan Fics!

2010-03-31T16:29:00.000-07:00

I am currently redoing one of my first fan fics I wrote. I have been wanting to do this for a while now, its a story that is close to my heart. Its actually my second fan fic that I wrote.

The Runaway Daughter is a story about a young girl who don't even know who she is or who her real family is. The thing is what will happen when she finds out the truth about what happen to her parents and why they left her to be raised by a family that don't love her at all.

This story will be posted again very soon! On FFFW!

The Unbreakable Bond chapter 17 ~Italy Teaser

2010-03-24T10:44:00.000-07:00

I'm really sorry this took so long, but I hope you wont regret waiting. The Italy trip is here...yeah! Who was on that plane? I know your asking inside those heads of yours, you will find out, I promise. But for now here is a little teaser for you to keep you thinking. The chapter should be out by the end of this week...I hope! Its almost done.

Chapter 17 ~Teaser...

He smiled at me as I was talking animatedly about the house where Juliet lived and how I wanted so badly to see it and how I wanted to spend a whole week in Verona itself, and all the different art museums I wanted to go. He didn’t even hate the idea of going all these places with me. Which surprised me actually, I figured you know as a guy he would hate that, but he didn’t say a thing just kept smiling at me and listening.

The first city we were to stay in was Rome, as soon as we landed and got our bags there was already a car waiting for us to take us straight to our hotel. Grand Hotel de la Minerve’s was breathtaking to say the least. I had no idea that my mom and dad had booked this kind of accommodations for me. A week in this amazing hotel would spoil me rotten.

Pics for this chapter!

I won I won!!!!

2010-03-18T09:20:00.000-07:00

All my work on my Kellan porn page on FFFW didn't go unrewarded. I worked really hard and it took me a long time, but look at the results of the work.

I won 2 awards and one runner up for best overall page. I'm so excited, I haven't won anything like that in a long time and it makes me so proud of my work!

Thank you so much FFFW Admins (and anyone else involved in the judging on the pages) for the awards, and a huge thanks goes out to Lindz for all your help and for the beautiful banners I won! I need to thank one more person as well, Dazz thank you so much for that background...that background was HOT!

Hugs! (huge smile plastered on my face)

Chapter 4 of Chasing Fire info....

2010-03-16T17:36:00.000-07:00

The next chapter will be posted tomorrow morning. Its full of funny things and sad things also, so get ready to fall out of your chair and have plenty of tissues as well.

I had a week after graduation for myself before I started work. It was so quiet and boring at my house, though I had tried to be anywhere but there. I spent a lot of time at Emmett’s apartment with him. I knew he was getting sick of me, but I hated being at my place, it was killing me slowly being there.

Lindz was gone, but her presence wasn’t. I could smell her on the sheets even though I’ve washed them about ten times trying to make it go away. I could still see her by the kitchen stove trying to cook pancakes for me, even though she couldn’t cook worth a lick. I could feel her wrapping her arms around me by the back sliding glass door while we watched the sun set one night.

To read the rest you will have to wait till tomorrow! lol...

Chasing Fire Teaser!!

Chasing Fire Teaser.

Chapter 4 ~ Life of the Everyday Fireman… (Edwards POV) Teaser

As the tones went off for my first official call, the adrenaline pumping throughout my body, I was scared and excited at the same time. The call came across the pagers in the firehouse blaring throughout my own as well, the call was a house fire. I ran to my gear, placed my hands on the boots connected to my pants and put my feet in, pulling the bunker gear up at the same time. Grabbing my coat and my helmet, I jumped into the truck next to Emmett, who had a huge ass grin on his face.

“You ready for this little brother?” I smiled at him nodding my head, but I really wasn’t ready for what I saw when we arrived on the scene.

Jumping out of the truck I stood there for a second, Esme staring at me, she came to me and shook me a little.

“Edward lets go, we have to get in there, they said there might be a little girl in there.” The words she spoke shook me out of it, not her shaking me. I went around the back of the truck to pull some hoses and Emmett placed his large hand on my shoulder,

“Let’s go.”

He handed me an air tank and mask or a Self contained breathing apparatus, blah blah blah, I hated all those stupid terms that were still stuck in my head from the academy, terms that we really never used. I followed Emmett towards the house and he showed me how to go in the house, even though I knew, but he said he had to still show me. I heard the whimpering sound coming from where I was standing, tapping Em on the shoulder I pointed towards what looked like a living room. He nodded and we headed towards the sound, putting small flames out on our way.

I saw the little girl first, I picked her little body up in my arms and she curled into me, not scared of me at all. Tears came in a torrential down pour down her cheeks as she buried her face in my coat. I reassured her that it was going to be okay and Emmet followed me out of the house. It caved in as we made it out to the truck, there was no way we could have saved the house. I was happy to see that the little girls parents had made it though, she wouldn’t have to live with the nightmares I had to live with constantly.

I carried the little girl over to the paramedics and to a lovely blonde haired woman. She smiled at me telling me ‘Good Job’. She looked down at the little girl and asked her to tell her what her name was. I froze as the little girl spoke her name.

“My name is Lindsay.”

Her parents were by her side by then and all I could do was stare into the little girls eyes as tears threatened to spill over the rim of my eyes. I vaguely heard the woman tell the little girl that it was going to be okay, that she was going to take care of her and that her name was Rosalie but that Lindsay could call her Rose. I had saved Lindsay’s life as her world came crashing in around her. Her house I couldn’t save just like I couldn’t stay in my Lindz’s house and mine, but I did save my Lindz.

I backed away from the little girl, being patted on the back, being told ‘Good Job’ over and over. I didn’t feel like I did a good job though. Yeah I saved that little girl, her parents were okay, but I still for some reason felt like I had failed.

Book Recommendation!!!

2010-02-23T07:32:00.000-08:00

Instead of a Fan Fic Rec this week I'm going to rec a real book, omg right. I seen the movie first for this book and just had to read the book.

Yeah the movie has the hottie in it and you just want to swoon after him, but damn the movie is sooo good. The book is even better (like always lol) This book is now on my top ten book list! That means its really good, I do a lot of reading and most of the books I read don't even make it on the top 25.

Description: An angry rebel, John dropped out of school and enlisted in the Army, not knowing what else to do with his life--until he meets the girl of his dreams, Savannah. Their mutual attraction quickly grows into the kind of love that leaves Savannah waiting for John to finish his tour of duty, and John wanting to settle down with the woman who captured his heart. But 9/11 changes everything. John feels it is his duty to re-enlist. And sadly, the long separation finds Savannah falling in love with someone else. "Dear John," the letter read...and with those two words, a heart was broken and two lives were changed forever. Returning home, John must come to grips with the fact that Savannah, now married, is still his true love--and face the hardest decision of his life.

About the Author: Nicholas Sparks, December 31, 1965 - Nicholas Sparks was born in Omaha, Nebraska, on New Year's Eve, about eighty minutes prior to 1966. As a child, he lived in Minnesota, Los Angeles, and Grand Island, Nebraska, finally settling in Fair Oaks, California at the age of eight. His father was a professor and his mother was a homemaker. He lived in Fair Oaks through high school, graduated valedictorian in 1984, and received a full track scholarship to the University of Notre Dame.

I fully Recommend you read this book, take a few days away from the fan fics (yes I actually said that, I know I know its hard for me to do that too, but trust me it will be so worth it.) and read this amazing book.

Please I need your help!

Not Enough Time....

2010-02-13T13:13:00.000-08:00

I'm sorry to say this but there just isn't enough time in my life to keep writing the way I am...so with that being said, I am going to cut back my writing schedule.

From now on I will be posting Chasing Fire and The Unbreakable Bond every TWO weeks instead of every other. I need more time to write these stories and make them as good as I can get them, plus I don't like to rush my writing and I feel like that is all I'm doing...

So Please give me time to write to my best abilitiy...I want my stories to be the best and I need to be able to see what I'm seeing in my head for my stories come to life on paper...

There is another reason I am doing this too, it is so I can take the time to do the other thing I love which is read...I love to be able to read other stories and I am following a lot of them and I love them so much that I don't want to take the time away from them either...

So please just stick with me and keep reading my stories.

Thanks to all my readers, I love you all! And thanks for sticking with me...

Love,

~Lady~

Instead of My Weekly Recommendations.....

2010-02-11T09:38:00.000-08:00

Okay this week instead of my Weekly Recommendations, I'm only going to do one recommendation but its going to be in the form of a writer interview, plus my normal thoughts on the story....

This story is one of my favs, I love it and the writer so much. I got a chance to meet Red last month and she is amazing and so nice. I love the way she writes, its very expressive and you can feel the feelings in the words.

The story is mainly about Bella and Edward as they are in College, but both of them have past demons they have to fight against. As we all do in our life, but the main thing is will they be able to fight those demons and be together or will those demons thare them apart.

It has a lot of real life problems in it and thats why I think I love it so much, its very real, you can believe it when you read it. There are great Lemons, and who don't like those lol...You should really read this story if you haven't....

Writer Interview

I asked her five questions and here they are....

1) What made you write this story? Where did you get the idea for it?

A: First and foremost, I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could actually do it. It's just new to me, writing, and I wanted to give it a shot. I also needed an outlet so to speak. and people actually read it lol...but there's also a lot of "me" in it. Some real stuff in my life that needed to 'get out' of my head i guess.

2) Where did you get the idea to make Bella a Diabetic?

A: My husbad and daughter have diabetes so I made Bella have it in my story as my way of just talking about it. I suppose I really needed to get it out of my head.

3) What’s your favorite character in the Twilight Saga?

A: My favorite character was Edward at first, however I most related to Rose because of her personallity. But since the movies came out, I'm all about the wolf pack. They are just too damn hot to ignore! So in a nute shell...I don't have a specific favorite...lol

4) How has the interatction with your readers helped you to write???

A: Hum, I actually have made a couple small decisions with the stories direction based on reader reviews. Plus I love getting the feed back, it's such a positive reinforcement, and makes me want to continue.

For my first fan fic, i have to say that i have a good group of folks committed to reading Strange Romance. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of enthusiasms for it..

5) What other stories have you wrote are currently working on????

A: I’m started Angel's Cry and the same time as Strange Romance. It's in the Non-Twilight Group, which unfortunately doesn’t get much attention. It is a Mortal Instrument story. I'm also working on an imprint story. (not posted yet) Called Blue Hour. (Links Below for all her stories)

I hope you take the time to read her stories, not just Strange Romance, she is a great writer!

ETC...Where Anything Goes...(a little something something lol)

2010-02-08T11:52:00.000-08:00

I just couldn't wait any longer to share this banner...I'm so excited about this story. Its really different then what I usually write but its so much fun.

The first chapter will have a huge flashback scene in it that is kind of scary movie like but its really different. I hope you all will enjoy it.

It will be posted soon I promise still working on it, I just couldn't wait any longer to show off the banner.

Thanks again Lindz your banners are amazing.

Heres a little glimpse into the story....

As he exited the door he spoke the words that were daggers to my heart.

“You will always be my bitch, no matter what. You are mine. I own you.” his voice a snarl filled with loathing. His face contoured with hatred. No love evident in his features.

I slowly tried to fight the bindings that were attached to my wrists, as soon as he was out of sight. He had taken it too far this time, he was pure evil, forcing me to play along, to play his wicked games. I listened trying to figure out if he had left the house, thinking I heard the front door close, I tried harder to get lose.

He had me bound to a wall in his basement filled playroom, a room that I had willingly come to a million times before. I had trusted him with my life, my well being, but he broke that trust by keeping me here against my will. I had been down here for over a week, not even seeing the light of day that whole time. He barely brought me food or water, making me feel very weak, which is how I think he wanted me, that way I wouldn‘t fight against his will.

This wasn’t how a sub/dom relationships should be. He was supposed to watch out for me, I was supposed to be at the forefront of his mind at all times, while we played.

Let me know what you all think...Please!

2010-02-06T11:59:00.000-08:00

Okay sorry that I haven't done this in a week or two but I needed some time to think about somethings, but here we are again and these are my weekly picks for this week. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.

A reader named Marta made this banner for this story, and I love it...

The first pick for this week is a story I started little over a week ago, The University of Edward Mason by SebastienRobichaud . This story will captivate you and not let you go. You won't be able to stop reading once you start.

It has all your fav characters in it, Edward is a professor and Bella is his student. They fall for eachother, but they both have a past together and apart that they have to fix.

It is one of my must reads. Check it out, you wont be disappointed trust me...

Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5390119/1/

My second recommendation for this week is Clipped Wings and Inked Armor. This story is by HunterHunting and its also on my must read list. I picked this one this week becasue I die waiting for it to update. I check everyday to see if it has and once it has I have to read it right away.

Edward is a tatt artist and Bella is working across the street in his aunts bookstore. Bella has a tragic past and has to fight with the demons that well up that past every where she looks. Edward also has a terrible past he has to fight against, will being together help them fight all of this...or will it break them apart even more.

You will have to read it to find out...trust me its an amazing story and will keep you wanting more.

New Story Im working on with a Friend...

2010-02-01T12:31:00.000-08:00

Okay I know what your going to say, I write so many different stories. Well writing is something I love and helps me to relax. But anyway, I'm working on a new project with a friend of mine. Her name is Brittney *waves to Brittney* and we are really good friends. We decided to try to write together since she has never written anything like this before.

Im actually going to be writing a type a story that I usually don't do...I'm going to try my hand at a BSDM story.

The story is called, ETC...(Where Anything Goes)...we weren't going to say anything about it for a while, but its stuck in my head now and I can't even work on my other stuff. So I thought maybe a blog post would help me get it out...So here we go.

The deal is my characters name is Kylie and well she has been through a lot in her life. Her parents kick her out of their house when they find out about the stuff she is in to and her and Lynn move away from thier home town. Lynn and Kylie have known each other since they were kids and got into the life of being a sub and dom around the same time and told each other. Come to find out Kylie's first dom was someone we all love and adore. (you will have to read to find out who) they are only friends through out the story, but he will help Lynn save Kylie. Kylie is really trusting and gets involved with the wrong kind of guy and major things happen to her.

Lynn ends up with a certain someone too...Lynn is amazing, she builds motorcycles..and is a very strong person too. She has also been through a lot of stuff in her life too. ( But I really can't tell you much about her life, because Brittney will be writing everything from her pov)

But anyways, I hope you all will read this one, we really don't have much done so far just the main idea's and a couple pages of the first chapter. This one will be written in a different way. The first chapter will be written in Kylie's pov and written by me the second in Lynn's pov and written by Brittney and so on. Let me know what you all think..

Here is some pics of some of the cast for this story...

Kylie~

Lynn~

Emmett~

Edward~

Damien~

Other Characters:

Some of the other characters will be in this story as well, this is just some of the main ones so far lol...

Please let me know if you would read this! What do you think....I know its just a glimpse not even that, sorry you will have more soon. I will blog about it here and post some teasers as well...

Chasing Fire Chapter 3 Teaser!!!!

2010-01-26T12:04:00.000-08:00

Okay so here you go....Chasing Fire Chapter 3~ How Do You Tell Someone You Love Them Teaser!~ Hope you enjoy it....Chapter will be up soon I promise!

He bumped right into my Bella and didn’t even say sorry or anything, he made sure she had her balance and walked off, what the fuck is up with that guy? Damn I want to fuck him up. I ran towards her to make sure she was okay.

“Bella, are you okay?” She looked at me all spaced out and shit. “Bella…Bella..” I said, waving my hand in front of her face.

“Oh, yeah Jake I’m fine. Who was that?” she asked me.

“That guy that fucking almost knocked you down that’s Cullen. He’s a fucking ass. Are you sure you’re okay?” She nodded her head.

I wrapped my arms around my best friend and helped her to her truck. When we got there, she got something out of the cab of the truck and handed it to me. It was a box, wrapped in wrapping paper that said congratulations all over it. Her smile lit up her whole face, making me smile in return. I loved seeing her happy.

I ripped off the paper and opened the box, it was a shirt, that had a firefighter on the back that said ‘We fight what you fear’. I loved it, it could have been a piece of coal or something and I would have loved it because it came from her.

“I love it. Thanks Bells.” I grabbed her and pulled her into me hugging her close to me. I never wanted to let her go. I wanted to keep her with me forever.

I closed my eyes letting my mind wander to what it would be like to be with her. To have her as mine and not just as my friend. To make sweet passionate love to her. To slowly let my hands travel all over her sweet smooth skin, to always smell her strawberry shampoo, to slowly take her cloths off and kiss her all over.

I slowly laid her down on my bed, her eyes begging me to take her. I planted soft open mouthed kisses on her jaw, moving to her ear, down her neck then to her breasts. I took one into my mouth and gently tugged, hearing her moan in the pleasure I was giving her. Leaning up I softly whispered her name, “Bella, I love you.” She smiled at me and I let my hand travel all the way down to her core, dipping my finger inside of her and she’s already wet and ready for me. When I pulled my finger out I let my thumb travel up to her clit, making slow circles, massaging it and making her moan again. She was withering under my touch. I slipped a second finger into her and she bucked her hips at me. I smiled loving the reaction I was getting from her.

She pulled away all to soon, snapping me out of my little day dream of us. I smiled at her and her smile was just as big.

“Hey, I was going to get you one that said ‘Take them down leave them wet’. We both laughed at that. I loved to hear her laugh, Bella had been through a lot in her life, but we were always there for each other. I just wished that I could tell her that I love her.

So what did you think??? Let me know please!

Picking up My Broken Pieces (one shot)

2010-01-25T13:07:00.000-08:00

I just posted my one shot that I wrote for the contest of FFFW...This one is one of the saddest things I have ever wrote..Plese check it out. It is now posted on FFFW and FF.net.

Here is a little clip of it:

After everything, Bella, I got you; The love of my life. You are my wife and I never had to fight for you again. I loved our wedding day. It was the happiest day of my life. I watched as you walked down the isle in that beautiful white dress. Your eyes were only on me, because you were obviously trying not to look at the others so you wouldn’t get nervous. I will hold the words you said to me in my heart forever. Never forget the ones I said to you. I cherish you, my Bells, just like I told you that day.

Now I’m losing you and you’re losing me. I don’t know how you are going to handle this and it scares the shit out of me. It makes me think back to the time when we thought I had cancer and you thought I was going to die. It wasn’t cancer, of course. Still, you freaked out and cried all the time and I hate to see you cry. I hate to think of you sad and not able to function. I love you, Bella, and I don’t want you to be like that.

I want you to go on with your life, Bella. I want you to live. I want you to go for your dreams. I want you to be you and never forget who you are. You are my Bella: strong, loving, kind, compassionate, deep, smart, tender, and of course clumsy. Sorry, I had to add that part. You know I love that about you. It makes you who you are. Never forget that. You are my everything, but I want you to do me a favor. When the time comes…I want you to let someone love you. I want you to open your heart to someone else. I want you to grow old with someone you love and have kids with someone who loves you, too.

Promise me, Bella. Promise me to do what I ask of you. I know it will be hard and you will be your stubborn self, but do this for me. Live Bella, Live for me. I love you, my sweet Bella, my wife. It was an honor to love you and an honor to be your husband.

Stay strong, my love.

Love,

.....

Here is the Links for both sites:

Please check it out and let me know what you think....

love and hugs

Okay Im going to go on a little rant!

2010-01-23T17:10:00.000-08:00

This picture is how I feel right now....

I have to say this shit now or I will chicken out and I'll just hold it all fucking in...this little rant is going to have all kinds of cussing in it so if you have a problem with it then don't fucking read it...

Okay on here I do a weekly recommendation for my favorite fan fictions on any site...I mean any site, fffw, ff.net, etc. I do not mean any disrespect to any site when I'm posting these recommendations, they are just some stories that I think needs some major props. So If you take offense to them don't fucking read the recommendation, and when I ask for help just don't help out. Don't talk about me behind my back, if you need to say something SAY IT TO MY FUCKING FACE...

I've had some really harsh fucking words said to me in the past two days about my last recommendation. So here's the deal, i say fuck it, I love the story and I'm not going to stop reading it just because it isn't on a certain site. I am not disrespecting the site, I have spent every day of this past half year on that site reading and writing.

Here's what I want to fucking know....What the fuck is seen as supporting a site then? Because if being on there all the time, taking care of two groups, writing stories and reading stories, and voting and nominating stories, if these things aren't supporting a site then what fucking is????

Thanks for reading my little rant...

(This wasn't directed at any one person) I just had to say it.

Now that its out I need to smile a little and there is only one way to make me fucking smile and that is to look at some major Kellan Porn so I'm going to share some of my fav.

Lady Ali’s Fan Fic Recommendations for this week

2010-01-21T19:18:00.000-08:00

Okay its that time again, here is this weeks recommendations. First of all I want to say these two stories are amazing. I hope dearly that you check both of them out.

My first pick this week is a story that I just started, even though I had been planning on reading it for a while now. I am so glad I finally started it, I am totally beyond hooked. This weeks first pick is a fic called The Workshop A Tale Of Edible. Its by an amazing writer names danieller123. The way she shows Edward and Bella in this story is just breath taking. I love how Bella isn’t what she normally is she is a mean ass bitch sometimes but she falls for Edward, not really meaning too. She is a famous chief and he becomes her sou chief. Edward has something that he usually don’t have in most stories….squeakers. Im not going to say more because I don’t want to mess that part of the story. Just trust me and take a look at this story, once you will you wont be able to stop.

What others say:

Dani's story is so special and unique with her complete love of food and children shining through with every chapter. Her Sweet Edward is the sexiest somebody in all of fan fiction and her bad ass Bella warms my heart the way her rough exterior only hides the big huge heart she has inside.

I've been hooked on this story, with it's restaurant fuckery and food porn, since the first line and she is up and coming and deserves every single bit of recognition she gets! Thanks for rec'ing her this week!

~FL95 Jo Jo~

Combines my two favorite things Edward and Food! This story is chocked full of life lessons and learning how to cope with the unexpected. Oh and the semexin' is really Hawt in this story too.

~Crystal B

The Worshop.......A Tale of Edible Delights......

A story that will capture your heart through the everyday struggles of the Famous Well Known Chef and restaurant owner Bella Swan as she falls in love with her best friends brother who is looking for work as a sioux chef and is dealing with his on family issues.

Get to know his lovely daughter who wins everyone's heart as she speaks and touches your heart. You'll need to have tissues handy a certain points of this story, But you'll be rewarded by seeing the love that grows between all three as they become close.

~Stella

This is the kind of fan fiction that you can't stop reading and then you recommend it to many, many friends. Dani moves briskly between sumptuous descriptions of food drink and even a little lesson in the restaurant business. As things heat up between Edward, the newly hired souse chef and Bella, the owner of The Workshop and executive chef, there is so much uncertainty. Do they embrace the attraction between them and open their hearts to each other or decide to move on?

The banter between Bella and Edward is laugh out loud funny at times and Dani's writing style is very descriptive but moves swiftly. Reading the Workshop is truly an emotional experience. You can't help but fall in love with the characters. I highly recommend it as a must read...

~statuesque-redhead

Link to story: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5384904/7/The_Workshop_A_Tale_Of_Edible_Delights

She also has a blog here on blogger and I follow it here’s the link for that…http://danieller123.blogspot.com/

*Sorry I don't have a pic for this one*

My second recommendation this week is one I read a while back its call The Submissive. Its by Tara Sue Me, she is amazing writer, she wrote one called The Dominate that goes right along with this story. One is in Bella’s POV and the other one in Edwards. The Sub is where Bella walks into a world that she really don’t know anything about. But she does it willingly. The thing is she actually falls for her Dom and he falls for her. Its something neither one intended to do. Its an incredible journey to take with Bella and you actually feel like you are there…Please go read this one it is one of my all time favorites..

What others say about it:

The submissive is one of my favorite fan fics of all time. Not only is it well-written and erotic, Tara Sue Me is brilliant and funny and creative. I love that Jake is a dog that loves Bella, that Emmett actually is a Bear (a Chicago Bear), etc. And even though it's all human, she gets Edward and Bella perfectly, easily transferring their characters to this sub/dom lifestyle in a very believable way. AND, on top of all that it's not just full of filthy sex, but there's love and sweetness and angst. It rocks!

~Marie

If you're into BDSM then you'll love this story. It's very informative about the whole submissive world and very VERY Hawt!!! Please bring a few extra pairs of panties when you read this one ladies and men you might want to have some lotion or lube somewhere close by...YES it's that good!!

~Crystal B

I hope you check out this weeks recommendations! Enjoy...

The Unbreakable Bond Chapter 15 Teaser

2010-01-21T15:31:00.000-08:00

Okay who wants to know who the girl was that Liam was hugging??? Well guess what this is the chapter that you will get to find out...Just don't throw things at me...lol

Chapter 15 ~ Oh Shit What Have I Done Now? (Liam’s POV)

“Liam listen…I called your house to give you this message but your mom told me you left so I’ll just have to say it here on your voice mail. Liam listen, I was going to leave Taylor for you. That night we made love I gave you my heart, but when I saw you with that other girl, it felt like you threw my gift away. So I’m going to choice to stay with Taylor and you can have your girl. Just try to be happy Liam, please. I’ll….” her phone hung up after that, I had no clue what she was going to say after that.

I looked down at the phone with the urge to throw it again, but I refrained. I needed to get my head on straight so I decided to go for a run. I left the house and headed towards the wood. When I phased I could still hear my brothers back home, I laughed at them a little.

Live, Love, and Hug

2010-01-20T19:44:00.000-08:00

This are my new words to live by...

I want to be able to take a step back and just live and be happy! To much stress is killing me. I used to love to write and talk to everyone, but right now I feel like I can't even write and enjoy myself and I'm dying inside. It used to be a way for me to wind down and relax, but then some thing happened and I'm always worried what people are going to think about what I write or what people are going to think about what I say or do.

I used to be a part of this little group where I was pretty much controlled and told how to be or act around certain people, shit changed because I changed and took a look at what was happening. I got a back bone and walked away. I've been pretty happy since even with the little jabs here and there from this said group. They did some pretty despicable things to me, like pretending to be another person and befriending me and keeping up the charade. But, I'm trying to let that go and be the better person but it's really hard to do that when they are always around. If people actually knew what these people were really like behind the scenes there would be no way they would talk to them. It kills me to see them being nice to certain people when I know they have said stuff about them behind their backs.

There were several other things that went wrong between me and them, but this is just some of it. People should just grow up and live without hurting others. I dont care what someone did to you or said about you, just turn around and forget about petty people, i know its harder then I make it seem, but I'm trying to do just that...

I shouldn't have to worry about that kind of stuff happening to me or to anyone else though and I can't warn people about them because then I would be seen as the one saying stuff.

I should be able to write in peace and enjoy doing what I love to do.

Thanks for listening to my thoughts for the day....

Love you all!

Lady Ali's Weekly Fan Fic Recommendations..

2010-01-16T14:51:00.000-08:00

Okay its that time again, here is this weeks recommendations. First of all I want to say these two stories are amazing. I hope dearly that you check both of them out.

"Friends, Death is on the loose in Washington. The game is on."

The first one is called The Horsemen and its by~ JasonAE, that’s right ladies it’s by a guy and its amazing. Heads up though it’s a little dark, but I am so in love with a dark Edward. Theres something about him that just drags me in and I know it will do the same for you. Have you ever wondered what Edward would be like as a bad guy? Well I always had wondered and this story will show you. Its packed full of Characters that we all love but in different rolls that you wouldn't suspect. It’s an amazing story and I hope you all check it out…

His synopsis of the story: Edward Masen is a man on the edge of insanity. After becoming sucked into a role playing game called, The Four Horsemen, it becomes difficult to determine reality from fiction. To some people life is a game and for Edward it is no different. They're playing by his rules, now.

What others say:

I am really enjoying the Hourseman. . . . I am tense not getting updates as this is a "thriller" that is "THRILLING" me intensily.

~FM2 [Filtered Through]'s~

JasonAE will offer no sincere apologies about the darkness of his characters in the fan fiction, The Horsemen, and he shouldn't have to. Contained within the lines of this fiction is a side of an all-human-Edward that knows no boundaries and has no regrets. He's a smart, broody, deceptive, murderous man that knows how to elude detective duo, Carlisle and Emmett, who are desperately trying to capture him. The Horsemen will keep you asking for more!

My second recommendation this week is one I actually started this week and went through all the chapters that are up so far. Its called Master of the Universe. You will get addicted to this story, trust me you wont be able to put it down. I read all the chapters in two days flat. Its about Edward who is a big CEO of a company but he has a secret, Bella comes in to interview him and through crazy circumstances they connect and get together. Its not your every day Edward/Bella story, its very different.

I love it and can’t stop reading it and actually I was thinking about going back and reading it again, that’s how good it is…

What others say about it:

There are three reasons this reader loves this story:

1. the story is extremely well written
2. each chapter just leaves me wanting more i read 52 chapter in one night and i needed more.
3. it dabbles in D/s . the attention to detail made me feel like i was part of the story.

I check back every few days to see if that superb writer has updated. it has me hooked ..
bottom line if you haven’t read this story.. wtf are you waiting for.

LoVeEdWard ~LE~

Oh my God! Master of the Universe has me hooked! I can't wait until the updates reach my inbox. The story is just so hot. I love the chemistry between her Edward and Bella. I also love the vulnerability they both show for very different reasons. If I had to fully explain why that story has me captivated, I wouldn't be able to adequately put it into words. The story has "IT". That and I bet the author bought stock in a panty factory due to the fact that her many readers keep ruining theirs...

~Sarita~

MoTU is one of a number of stories that own my ass.

There's a hell of a lot of chapters, but they are reasonably short, and they always leave you wanting more. Honestly, I have never felt that the story is getting too long. It could go for another 65 chapters and I would still be drawn in with each update. Each chapter is well written. You always feel that progress is being made with each chapter, and the author doesn't fill the story with unnecessary garbage just to make the story longer.
Edward is a dom whose world is turned upside down when he meets Bella, who is unable to deal with many aspects of BDSM. She challenges him in ways that he never expected, and as the story progresses, many of the walls he built up around him from his childhood start to crumble as he falls in love with Bella.
It's only when he loses her because of his need to be a dom that he realizes that he wants her more than he wants his BDSM lifestyle, and he puts that all aside to have Bella in his life. Love it!

Please Stop Copying others!

2010-01-11T10:50:00.000-08:00

Im so tired of people coping others writing. If you can't be original don't write! I'm sorry I have to get this out, too many of my friends have had this problem recently and it's driving me insane.

I don't understand how people can take someone else's writing and try to pass it off as their own, don't you all have that little voice inside you that tells you that this is wrong? Don't you all realize how much that hurts the other writer and the readers when they find out what you've done, actually your hurting yourself. So do me a favor stop the copying and grow up!

*Sorry about this little rant, I'm just tired of it all. I know we put our stories on the iternet and its out there, but that doesn't mean they can just take it.*

Chasing Fire Chapter 2 Teaser

2010-01-07T12:50:00.000-08:00

Chasing Fire Chapter 2 ~ Love and Lose

~Teaser~

As the call rang out across the fire pagers around me, the feeling of dread came over my entire body. Four fast beeps then the words of the dispatcher, words I would remember for the rest of my life. ‘Forks fire department, 915, 973, and 913 call number 715, go approximately two miles east from your fire department, two car collision, head on, entrapment. Attention Forks fire…..

That was all I heard, they were calling for the squad, rescue, and a engine, it had to be a bad car wreak. I watched as Esme, Emmett, and several other firemen from our fire station left running to their trucks that were parked outside of the academy.

Realization hit me as Emmett passed me, Lindz…

I ran after Emmett, who turned to me in a flash.

“Bro what do you think your doing? You’re not on the department yet, you can’t come with us.” I looked at him and couldn’t handle what I was about to say.

“Lindz went that way Em,” was all I had to say, my mom heard me and yelled for us to get our asses in the trucks now. She included me in that, I got in the truck with her grabbing my gear first, as she started up the truck.

“You’re not to do anything, you are to stay by the truck, no matter what. Do you hear me?” she asked. I nodded my head. What would I do if it was her? Would I be able to stay by the truck like my mom and my soon to be Chief demanded? I listened as Esme told dispatch to go ahead and deploy air care and I looked ahead afraid of what I was about to see and the answers I was about to get.

As we rolled up to the wreck my answers was staring me in the face. It was my Lindz and there was no way in hell I was standing by the truck.

As I ran towards the mangled car of the one I loved, my heart crumbled into a million pieces in my chest. I was going to lose another person I loved. Why does God keep doing this to me? What had I done in my life to deserve to lose the ones I love?

Let me know what you think.....Please!!

Lady Ali's Fan Fiction Weekly Recommendations

2010-01-01T17:36:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone, its time for my weekly choices…This week I chose two of my all time favs. Both written by good friends of mine. One being Dazzled by Jake and the other being FL95 Jo Jo.

Dazzled by Jake wrote a wonderful story called Jacob have I loved.

Her synopisis: This fan fiction is about Jessica—no, not Jessica Stanley—the Quileute girl mentioned on p. 118 of Twilight. I thought it might be interesting to explore a relationship between her and Jacob—what possibly could have happened. The story starts off the Saturday Bella learns about Edward’s secret from Jacob on First Beach in La Push.

I personally loved this story, it has a very strong character of Jessica, she ends up falling in love with Jacob Black and ends up happy in the end, even if its not with the one she wanted it to be. Dazz’s way of writing will hook you in and not let you leave, I’ve read everything she has posted so far and I love it all. So if you haven’t read this one or any of her writing you have too. Believe me you wont regret it! Major Lemon's in this one too! So heads up if you don't like that kind of stuff.

Link to Jacob have I loved: http://www.freedomfanfictionwriters.com/group/adultfanfiction/forum/topics/jacob-have-i-loved-jpov

Here’s what another reader/writer had to say about it:

If you love Jacob, you have to read "Jacob Have I Loved." The whole story is filled with Jacob lemony goodness. What's so unique about this story is that Dazz took a little unknown Stephenie Meyer character that no one even gave a second thought to and created an entire fan fic around her. This story is an incredible, fun read full of creativity and will soon become your guilty pleasure.

IAK

My next pick this week is Edward Cullen: Dick for Hire....um I don’t think there is word to explain to how good this story is. I love this story so much and this Edward is my weakness. Every time she posts I run to read it and when I’m done reading it sometimes I read it again, because I don’t want to wait for more of him.

Jo’s summary: Edward Cullen is a private eye that also works periodically for the DC Police. He's sexy, smart, set in his ways, a little anal retentive and very ready for any and all curve balls in life. Or so he thought. When Bella Swan moves to town as his competition, perhaps he'll find he's not as ready for EVERYTHING as he thought he was. BxE, Canon Couples, AH.

My summary: Edward is a dick of a PI and Bella is a PI too, she ends up being his weakness lol. He is cocky, sexy, smart, and like Jo’s said so stuck in his ways. Bella moves into town, his town, and messes everything up for him. Things happen and things he thought had happened, might not have. SO like I said his life is turned upside down because of the ‘tiny dancer.’ You will fall head over heals like I have for Dickward trust me on that one! Im hooked and I know you will be too.

Here is what another reader/writer hat to say about it:

Ok, I just finished Dick for Hire Thursday so the entire story is fresh in my mind. The main reason I like this story is the way Jo writes the plot. She gives you bits and pieces of the plot and makes you want to keep reading to find out what the next little morsel is that she is willing to give you. For example, I love how the tension between the family members is explained a bit at a time. Even though she is on ch. 13, we still don't have the full picture of why Edward has such a rough relationship with his brother and father. This style of writing makes me want to come back for more and more!

Chasing Fire teaser!

2009-12-27T17:05:00.000-08:00

What if you were chasing a fire that was always escaping your reach and you were chasing flames that claw at your heart trying to incinerate it. Burning you alive in the process. Do you try to put it out or do you let it burn you alive?

“She’s gone and so are the mom and dad…..”

When he said this he looked right at me and I ran towards my house to find them, or maybe wake up and make this all go away. Esme caught me up in her arms and held me to her, with me thrashing around fighting against her hold and screaming.

“ NO.. NO NOT MY FAMILY! LET ME GO, LET ME GO! PLEASE DON’T TAKE MY FAMILY AWAY! YOU HAVE TO FIND THEM, SAVE THEM. NO THEY CAN’T BE, PLEASE GO SAVE THEM, PLEASE!”

I screamed over and over, tears coursing down my cheeks in torrential gushes, still thrashing around in her arms.

I sat straight up in my bed, sweat pouring down my face, and gasping for air.

“What? What’s wrong? Edward, are you okay?” Lindsay asked, touching my arm in the most comforting way.

I looked down at her, the girl I had been dating for the past year, and told her it was nothing.

She didn’t believe me, I could plainly see that on her face. I laid back down as she snuggled up to me and laid her head on my chest.

“Are you okay?” she whispered. I just nodded my head, I still hadn’t caught my breath. She reached up and lightly placed her lips to mine.

What the heck. I wasn’t going to be able to go back to sleep now, why not have some fun before I leave for my first day of recruit class.

I started to deepen the kiss and lightly traced her bottom lip with my tongue, dragging it slowly across her lip. She opened her warm mouth granting me entrance, letting our tongues caress each others. It was slow and full of passion, building to a fire that raced across our bodies. She scooted closer to me getting on top of me, straddling me. I let my hands graze softly down her neck, to the gentle slope of her shoulders, planting kisses on her bare skin on the way down. She always wore a teddy to bed, always the most sexy red or black colors, covering only the essential parts, the parts that I was going to be devouring soon.

I trailed my hand down the sides of her arms and across her stomach, watching the goosebumps cover her skin. Her head was titled back in pure pleasure. I heard her little moans of said pleasure and let my hand travel on its journey to the holy grail.

I passed it up at first and the most frustrated look came across Lindz’s face. It was so cute, I loved those looks she gave me when she was frustrated. She raised her body and looked down at me, begging for me to move my hands back up to her waiting core. I slowly teased the shit out of her, barely moving my hands back up her legs. When I reached her thighs, I moved my hands to the silky skin inside of her legs and trailed them teasingly up to the holy grail.

I barely grazed it with my finger and she let out a moan and the two words that were always my undoing, especially when they came from her lips.

“Pleeeassseee Edward!”

I looked into her hooded eyes and inserted a finger into her, and after a second or two of pumping into her, I added another. I let my thumb go up and graze her clit and she bucked her hips into me. I smirked at her and took my fingers back out of her and she whined. That face she was giving me now was even better than the one when she was frustrated. It was in total pout mode.

I looked at her for a minute then very gently turned her over and got on top of her. I kissed her again, just like the first time, then headed to get a taste of her heavenly juices. When I was right about to pass her belly button I noticed the time.

“Fuck, Lindz, I’m so sorry babe, but I have to go. I’m going to be late if I don’t get moving. I’m so sorry.” I got up and out of my bed and quickly headed into my bathroom. I couldn’t look back at her though, if I did I knew what face she would have. And it wasn’t one I wanted to see right now. I had other things to deal with right now and having Lindz mad at me was the least of my problems.

Look at my new Banners for Chasing Fire...

2009-12-27T15:14:00.000-08:00

So here are all 3 of my banners for Chasing Fire

Lindz babe you are amazing...Thank you so much for these, and for being a wonderful Beta and a great friend! Amanda thanks so much for the one you made me too, it was amazing and I thank you so much for taking the time to do that for me. Love and hugs to you both! I can't wait to post the teaser/Prologue for this one, that I'm going to post it early, it will be up by tonight! I hope you all enjoy it and let me know what you think...

hugs

Lady Ali's Fan FIction Weekly Recommendations

2009-12-23T20:28:00.000-08:00

What I’m going to do is suggest two favorite fan fic’s of mine every week. The first one for this week is House of Horde

The writer of this story Amanda Lee, is an awesome writer. House of Horde is a fan fic that is very different, a little dark, but so good. Bella is taken by someone she thought was a friend but turns out to be a bad guy. She is taken to a place where vampires live and the ones that you would think are good are the exact opposite. What will she do to get away? Can she get away? Will she want to when she meets a certain vampire. There is five chapters up as of right now. They will suck you in and keep you there wanting more. I give this fic a ten! Its amazingly written and it takes you to another world where your abducted right along with Bella. Please check it out…Link at bottom!

What a reader has to say about it:

House of the Horde is a captivating story. first of all what caught my attention before starting to read it was the banner and the video Amanda Lee (Author) created. I was intrigued by the dark themes, colors. and by the way she introduced her story with the video. House of the Horde is not your conventional story. Bella is a normal girl living her normal life until fate drags her to an unreal world (for her), she is kidnapped, brutally beat and dragged to a place where humans are just something to use and play with. Our Cullen boys are the bad naughty creatures which in my opinion is a nice twist to the ordinary. This story has extreme brutal situations and is not written for everyone but I would recommend it to anyone cause aside from that fact is a very interesting plot that leaves begging for more after each chapter. I wish I could go more in depth but the story is on the beginning stage and there is still a lot to discover. ~ Betsy {Boob-a-Licious Bets}

Make sure you read this one!

Lady Ali's Fan FIction Weekly Recommendations

2009-12-23T15:04:00.000-08:00

What I’m going to do is suggest two favorite fan fic’s of mine every week. The second one for this week is: Forbidden Imprint by I AM KATE

This story is the third part to the Imprint Saga, it is written by a dear friend of mine I AM KATE. I have followed all of her stories and love them all. The Imprint Saga is a look into what Imprinting does to the wolf and how it effects everyone including the imprinted.

Forbidden Imprint is about Embry who imprints on Rebecca, Jacobs sister, who is already married. Embry tries to fight the feelings but he pushes a little too hard sometimes. Rebecca loves Ian, but of course she feels the connection she has with Embry. It’s a constant battle of feelings. IAK is an amazing and talented writer. If you want to read a story about love and the wolves this is a story for you. Check it out…Link below.

What others say about Forbidden Imprint:

Seriously, IAK is one of the most talented authors on our site. Her second story, Early Imprint, has to be my favorite fan fiction I have ever read. Her third, Forbidden Imprint, is no exception. Embry imprints on Jacob's older sister, Rebecca, and it details the many troubles he has trying to win her heart despite the fact that she is married. Absolutely will keep you on the end of your seat! (And I happen to be a little biased because I'm a character in it, LOL). But frankly, it is my addiction. I can't get enough of it. :D ~DAZZY xxoo

In the Twilight Saga, we don't really know very much about Embry. We know that he's one of Jake's best friend, and he's a werewolf who doesn't know who is father is. IAK has taken the character that is Embry and made him into something no-one would have expected. In Forbidden Imprint, you embark on the journey of Embry's self discovery, and his troubles with the woman he is destined to be with. Throughout this story, Embry grows and blossoms into an extremely mature and responsible man. IAK has created something not only beautiful and original, but also she fills in alot of blanks in Embry's life. Reading this story, I learnt more about IAK's version of Embry Call. The words IAK uses perfectly encapsulates the emotions Embry goes through as he feels them. The way she writes them, makes you feel like you are right there, with Embry as he goes through his pain and anguish, his happiness and his joy. This is a beautiful story, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the REAL Embry Call. ~AJ

If you’re a fan of IAK’s Imprint Saga, this story is totally different from First and Early Imprint. This story is very dramatic in the sense that Embry’s doesn’t have the chance to court his imprint, Rebecca Black, as did the others and have her return his affection. We will follow him through time as he experiences disappointment, heartache, brief happiness with the hope that in the end he will have this happy ever after. ~Stella

If you've read IAK's work then you know the girl knows all things wolfy and if she doesn't then she just makes that shit right up as though it's always exsisted like that. Her latest divy, Forbidden Imprint takes the reader on a wild and hazy adventure with lover boy Embry Call. First the poor boy imprints on a taboo woman and then trys to drown out the imprint magic w/ several women and tons of booze. It doesn't work of course. Luckely, all he ends up with out of all of that is a really bad body ache (I'd say the wolfy healing powers kept the venereal diseases at bay.) due to sexing up someone other than his imprint. Then he gets his chance and he screws that up too but he does learn a lesson or two about himself and what he needs to do to be a better person not only for himself but for her as well. Love finally finds him but is it from his imprint or another? That my friend you will only find out if you read this amazing story.

It is refreshing to read Embry's pov b/c he is part of the group of characters that tend to go un noticed and with his fucked up twist it further makes her other stories more complete. I really like this story b/c it has the right mix of everything from comedy to angst and is very well written. I recomend it to anyone who even romotely likes the wolf pack. ~crystal b

Make sure you check it out!

Chasing Fire Preview....

2009-12-23T08:09:00.000-08:00

The funny thing about firemen is, night and day, they are always firemen. ~Gregory Widen, Backdraft

Chasing Fire is a story that will be near and dear to my heart. My husband is a firefighter and I used to be before I had kids. So I know the life, I know what they go through to save people and their houses. I understand what the wives go through every time that pager goes off or the alarm rings. Like the quote above says night or day they are always a fireman, they are always ready to fight something that most people run from.

So Im taking two things that I love and putting them together. Twilight and Firefighting. The main story line will be about Bella and Edward, but all the Characters will be there, with some extra characters. The main plot is that Bella is trapped in a fire and Edward is one of the firefighters there to save her. She loses everything and everyone that she loves. What would you do in that situation? How would you cope? If you take this journey with me inside these characters heads you will get to find out how Bella will deal with this kind of loss.

There will be lemons, giggles, and sadness throughout this story. There will be two fire departments and two different groups of firemen. One is a group of paid firemen only. That is Forks Fire Department. That is where the Cullen’s will be. Then there is another Department, one that is mainly Volunteers some paid but mostly Volunteers. That is the La Push Volunteer Fire Department. That of course is where our La Push boys will be.

Now the thing with Volunteer departments and Paid or departments near each other is that they really don’t get along that much. There is most of the time some animosity between them. But when push comes to shove they are there for each other. They would risk their lives for each other and they take it to heart when something happens to another brother. Even one they don’t know.

I don’t want to give too much away right now, but the first chapter will be in Edwards Pov. Edward himself has been through a lot in his life, he has his own demons to fight along with the flames that tear at his heart. He’s tough but he puts on that mask everyday that way no one will know or see the hurt he is hiding. When he meets Bella after the fire, well she is feisty, she will fight with all her being not to fall for him. Will he fight for her or just give up. It just might be the toughest fire he has every had to fight.

I will start to post Chasing Fire right after the first of the year. Like I said I am so excited about it. Let me know what you think. Will you read it when I post or not?

If you want a little bit more of a glimpse into this story you can check out two one shots I wrote pertaining to this story. They are called Flame of my Desire and Flame of my life. The links are on this page, just click the banners!

The Unbreakable Bond Chapter 13...insight

2009-12-22T08:17:00.000-08:00

To have a good friend is one of the highest delights of life; to be a good friend is one of the noblest and most difficult undertakings.

- Anonymous

I'm in the middle of writing this chapter right now. But during writing it, I have realized something about friends. Friends are near and dear to my heart right now. I had some friends do some shity things to me lately and well it shows me that some friends aren't really true friends. But some are and those friends you need to keep close to your heart. Try with all your might to keep them close to you. Those friends are the ones that are always there for you no matter what happens and that would drop anything to help you out. They are the friends you can call at three AM and they will sit on the phone, even though you woke them up, and talk to you how ever long you need to talk. True Friends are one in a dozen, when you find one keep them, that's all im saying.

Alex is going to learn this lesson in the next couple of chapters. She has true friends Carolyn being one of them, but she needs to realize that Liam is one too. That he would never hurt her on purpose. In reality he loves her more than he loves himself. Things are going to be happening here soon in this story that will make Alex make a choice that will be the hardest choice she will ever have to make, will she make the right choice or not? Thats what we will have to see.
