Bio:
What’s in a name? Team66fan…
I am originally from Pittsburgh, PA (which relates to my FF sign-on name and the town's hockey team – the Pittsburgh Penguins – owned by former player & team captain Mario Lemieux #66). I am a huge sports fan. Special events/sports tournaments and party planning is my line of work. I am a planner yet, have no life plan of my own...other than endlessly loving my three beautiful four-legged "furry kids" - rescue greyhounds and former racers.
I got hooked on Twilight, later in the mix after getting it for Christmas in 2008. Now I am addicted to all things related to it. I am a 30-something, single female and married to my day job. I love world travel [Ciao, Italia, SCUBA diving/underwater photography and watching NHL hockey, beading and gardening. I can’t cook/bake worth crap…probably the reason my dad was a volunteer fire fighter, so I wouldn’t burn the house down!
I am a total proof reading nerd, so it is challenging for me to not read stories and edit at the same time. Force of habit, I guess. I am typically the person in my office that everyone brings their correspondence or marketing materials to proof read or critique. I think it was all of the years of proof reading (and often writing) many of my brother’s papers in high school and college! My biggest pet peeves are improper spelling or use of: their vs. there and whether vs. weather! Also, when someone says something illogical like... “Join us for the 'first annual' golf tournament.” A first time function/occurrence is INAUGURAL event; it isn't ANNUAL until it happens for a second time! Just saying…think about what the word ‘annual’ means. Moving on!
I give props to all of those authors out there that are brave enough to share their imagination, creativity and thoughts with the general public. I am still trying to gather confidence enough to throw my thoughts into the wind.
Happy reading and writing everyone! Please pass the lemons : )

Just gut wrenching. thank you for the chapter today.

Agonizingly beautiful.
I love to read as soon as chapters post to my email, and sometimes I'm on the bus or at work, so a warning would be great so I'm not balling my eyes out in public! Thanks.
Author's Response:
Aww...thank you so much! I hope a solution for the warning thing that will hopefully meet everyone's needs. I'll explain it at the beginning of Monday's chapter. Thanks for chiming in!
Date: 09 Jul 2015 Title: Come Back Tomorrow
Beautiful chapter. I'm so happy that Elizabeth has come to the realization that she needs to get out of her abusive relationship.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much! Yes, Elizabeth is planning to be there for Edward now--finding out about his abuse was the straw that broke the camel's back and convinced her of what she already knew, that she needed to get away from that sorry excuse for a man!
Date: 02 Jul 2015 Title: Come Back Tomorrow
Wow what a beautiful and emotional chapter. I liked the introduction of Rosalie to. It's always interesting to see where familiar names will pop up.

Thank you so much! I'm happy you liked the intro of Rosalie, too. It's rare that she's a good character and not a bitch. ;) There are a few others we'll meet yet, too.

Oh the stonewall dance...2 Steps forward, two steps back.
Edward needs to grasp the term Carpe Diem! You only have so many days left.
Author's Response:
Yes, Edward's resolve is back ... for now. He thought long and hard when he made his decisions, and he doesn't want to rethink them--it was too painful to go through the first time. But Bella's still there, not pushing actively for answers, but still pushing on his resolve just by being a constant in his life. We'll get there! :)

Wow, I can't imagine the emotional toll, let alone the physical one he is going through. I'm so glad that he is not trying to do this by himself anymore.

Yes, it's tough for him on both fronts right now, and the stress is slowly unraveling him. He needs Bella to shore him up and help keep him together. ;)

Artistward was definitely a suprise. It's sad that Bella didn't encounter any pictures of family while she was at his apartment. I love how their relationship is developing.
Author's Response:
So many people were surprised by this! I wonder what people were thinking he might have been? Interesting observation about family pictures--we'll get more on that later. :)

Loving the longer chapters, I can't get enough of this story. I heart blushing Edward and Bella.

I'm still hung up on the line, that he grew up ON the streets of San Francisco... I can't wait to delve deeper into his past. I'm so intrigued.
Now the tough part for Bella...what DVD to choose!

Hmm...can't comment on that. His past will be revealed, though, I promise! What kind of movies does Bella like? I wonder... :)

Oh that was so adorably sweet. I love Happyward. I enjoyed some pop corn and Raisinettes while reading too. So it perfectly set the mood!
Author's Response:
Hee hee, thanks! He really was a happyward in this one, wasn't he? Argh, I didn't buy Raisinets this week. So much fail, because everyone was eating them and posting pictures and I wanted some so badly! :)

Sorry to hear about your friends passing. Reality and the pain cancer causes really sucks. Thanks again for sharing your story with us.

Thank you for reading, and for taking this journey with me! :)
Date: 13 Apr 2015 Title: Come Back Tomorrow
I love how Edward wants to offer Bella support.
Author's Response:
Wasn't it sweet that he wanted to be there for her this time? I do think that's something he needs--to focus on others instead of the awful situation he's in himself. He needs to feel useful--as if he still has a purpose in this world. I think she helped him with that today. :)
Date: 07 May 2015 Title: Come Back Tomorrow
Wow, what an emotional chapter. I feel for both of them. This chapter reminded me of the poignant song, This woman's work, by Kate Bush.

Edward Cullen is a famous movie star as is his girlfriend Tanya, the mother of his child. Their son is a week old and can't seem to keep any formula down. Annoyed by the crying and finding motherhood tedious, Tanya takes off for the spa and a commercial shoot leaving Edward alone with their newborn.
After trying nearly every formula on the market, Esme, Edward's sister suggests breast milk. It seems like a long shot, but when Bella Swan answers the unusual ad, Edward thinks all of his problems are solved. His son is doing well, but he has a new problem, an undeniable attraction for the woman who saved his son's life.
