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 : )

Isabella Swan moved away from the world she’s known, trying to move on from the loss of her parents and raising her baby sister, Katie. She’s always seen the best in the world, but she’s struggling in coping with all of the changes in her life. A new start was needed and she packed up, moving from the small town of Forks to Chicago to work as an advertising junior executive at Masen Advertising Corporation.
Edward Cullen, CEO of Masen Advertising Corporation, is a cold-hearted, uncaring, hateful asshole. An orphan and living in foster care until he turned fifteen, he was adopted by Carlisle and Esme Cullen. Edward struggled with forming relationships. All he wanted was a partner, a friend, a lover, a wife, a mother to his children. He lost his wife, Tanya, when she was found screwing his partner, Jacob Black, on his desk. She also shattered his heart, ending several pregnancies, even though Edward had pleaded to start a family.
What happens when Edward bumps into Bella in the hallways of Masen Advertising Corporation? Will she be the chink in his armor, shattering his carefully constructed walls? Or will he bring her into the darkness, shattering her optimistic view of the world? It’s uncertain, but she’s Falling for a Dark Soul.
