If you're worried I've abandoned Forbidden Desire, don't! I WILL finish it, but I do have to appologise for the beyond sloth-like update times! I just cleared my plate and it has my full attention now (and I think my Beta and two friends just got out the whips!) so hang in there, it's coming! :D

About Me:


I'm a more than thirty-something wife, mother of two, and working former business owner who used to be a prospective whale biologist in Washington (not too far from the Olympic Peninsula). I met my then Stage Manager husband in the local theater while playing the role of a vampire (Dracula's Lucy) and my life was forever changed! Needless to say, drama comes naturally to both my kids, and they are the inspriation that keeps me moving. Reading, and writing Twi-fic, is much needed creativity in my life right now.


Despite having played a Vampire in a local production of "Dracula" I had not heard of "Twilight" until the movie came out. Go figure. My typical cuppa is Sci-Fi/Fantasy, not Romance and never before vamp fiction, so my RL friends and family find it histerical that this genre has sucked me in so deeply!


I discovered it when my eldest niece, who has been a fan for years, drug me to the movie with her Thanksgiving 2008. On the way home we stopped to buy me the whole series. I finally quit reading them to obsession (along with "Midnight Sun on SM's website), four months later when I found this site. Yeah!!


I had barely even heard of Fan Fiction, but one day it suddenly occurred to me that others might be wanting more from these characters the same way I was. I entered "best twilight fiction" in my Google box, and here I am.


I came for the lemons, but have stayed for the creativity. And boy, am I glad I did!!


After months and months of loving giving giggle worthy reviews, I've finally added writing my own fic to reading other authors' fabulous works. I'm now intent on stimulating my muse rather than just taking care of others'. lol


I won't lie, I doubt anything I write based on "Twilight" will ever be rated any lower than M. This first story is definitely going to be one big lemon ball, but hey, with a story like Twilight how can you not want to feast off the ol' lemon tree?! So far the two stories I have in mind will also be AU-human just because it makes the sexy times that much more fun! (No fears of breaking your bed partner!) Although recently I've been trying to think of something I could actually let my family read without turning beet red and hiding under a rock for eternity!! So, who knows, I may yet produce something that's more like SM had in mind!


Oddly enough, eight years before I even discovered Twilight, we named our stunningly gorgeous, physically graceul, and naturally talented, deep brown eyed boy Cullen as a middle name. I can't help but find it more and more I ironic the more I read the series! To top it off my sprite of a daughter is unconsciously endevoring to give Alice a run for her money (sans the Cullen coffers) in the utterly adorable, vivacious, big eyed pixie who no one easliy denies and who lives and breaths for cloths, deptartment! She too, dances across the room! (Sadly she seems to have a healthy dose of Bella in her too as she's taken to tripping over smooth, level floors quite frequently!)


I chose RosaBella as my penname here (I'm IslandWoman221 on Twilighted dot net,) because I have a classic look that strongly resembles Rosalie, I love working on my Mustang with my father (having rebuilt it with him awile back- and didn't mind smelling to high heaven of gasoline and gear oil for 6 straight weeks to do it), but am Bella to my core. I don't blush, but in all other ways totally identify with her self perspective and approach to life! I was so shy I didn't speak to anyone willingly or easily as a child (I had teachers who hardly knew the sound of my voice). I got over it in my early teen years, but still find myself approaching new situations with a hang back and observe approach. It would have been wonderful to recognise the blessings of my genetics while in high school, but it has taken another long while to start to apprecieate what I used to have! :D


I had a boyfriend in HS that made me tingle, and not care to ever do anything but kiss him for days on end, but he was younger than me (like Jake) and it ended as inexplicably as it started. Those feelings gives me a place from which to relate to our favorite couple. Consquently, I'm hoping to use that experience and those with my Renaissance Man of a husband, along with sheer imagination to write some great ff! Let me know how well (or not) I succeed!!
