Bio:
Recently discovered TWCS. Frequent lurker on TWILIGHTED.NET.
I am a stay at home mom who reads way too much Twilight fanfic. I live in New England. I used to work as a professional singer before my daughter was born and hopefully will again once she get's a bit older.
I would love to be able to write my ow stories but never seem to get very far once I start. Not enough confidence I guess. I totally envy all of you writers out there.
Thank you to all the authors here on TWCS and over at Twilighted for the many hours of pleasurable reading. I am making an effort to review more and lurk less so I can let you all know how much I appreciate your efforts.
Bella Swan is a writer that is on a trip of a lifetime. Edward Cullen is a famous actor and musician, whose life is a blur of film-sets, hotels and screaming fans. A destined encounter and a battle of mind over matter erupt amongst sensual music and a shared longing.

I just recently discovered Episode and just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed it. I've been reading it straight through over the weekend and can't wait to read more. I am so looking forward to future updates. You really know how to keep the anticipation going. Poor Edward is a total mess now after that disjointed phone message. Can't wait to see how it will all play out. Keep up the great work!

In August of 1931, almost two years after the disastrous stock market crash on Wall Street, Bella's wealthy family suddenly find themselves broke and homeless in New York City. She is sent to live on her birth father's struggling farm in Oklahoma and soon the pampered, well-to-do city girl is forced to face life as a poor country bumpkin. The transition will not be easy for the overindulged sixteen year old. To make matters worse, choking dust storms, a dangerous drought and the hiring of a handsome but hardheaded homeless man will complicate Bella's life even further.

Great story. Very well written. I can really picture the 1930's dust bowl in OK.
You know, you ould probably rework this with different names and publish this.
Its pretty clear that James killed the girl in Lenepah. Especially since he mentioned meeting someone there.
Ooh! What's going to hppen ith Bella and Edward now? I hope she's not pregnant. I will only complicte things even more.
When is he going to go to the bank in Tulsa? And didn't her mom say that she set aside money or them. I'm guessing she's going to find out she has it whwn she goes to Tulsa.
And last but not least, what the hell is Phil going to o next.
Keep up the awesome job. Can't wait for updates.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much, Marlena68. I'm glad your enjoying my story :o)
As for your comments:
Are you sure James killed the girl in Lenepah??
Is Bella pregnant? I guess we'll have to wait for her menses to arrive -- or not.
When is James going to the bank or when is Bella going to the bank?
Renee did set aside money for them but it was in the suitcase under her bed -- the one that was missing when she tried to escape Phil. Where did the money go? Will Bella see any of it? Can't say for sure.......
Phil is pure evil -- you'll see how nasty he really is in Chapter 23.
Thank you for reviewing :o)

Woo hoo! I was so happy to see an update for this story. I was starting to think it was abandoned. Thank you for updating. Very good chapter.
Author's Response:
LOL! Don't worry -- I refuse to give up on this story!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter even though it was a short one. The next one is going to be a doozy!
Thank you for reviewing, Marlena68 :o)
The Cullen's and Bella find themselves ship wrecked on a desert island in the Pacific.

Really love the story. Hope you are planning to update again soon. :-)
Author's Response:
Hi Marlena68
Thanks for your review.
I am definitely going to finish Wrecked, but unfortunately RL has interfered with my writing for the past 6 or 7 weeks. My mum decided to move from Melbourne to Sydney and I've spent much of my free time either arranging her move, helping her move, painting her flat and having her as a guest for much of the past month, and then putting together endless packages of Ikea furniture, that I didn't have time for anything else, since I also had to work fulltime. My tiny flat was so crowded, I couldn't even reach my computer let alone see it due to all of the crap on top of it. Mum is now happily ensconced in her new flat and I am slowly putting my own home back to rights. I hope to have a new chapter posted over Easter, or perhaps earlier if all goes smoothly.
Thanks for waiting so patiently.
Regards, Jkazzie
Date: 28 Nov 2012 Title: Chapter 36: Chapter 36 - Deck the Halls
I think they're both pregnant! Wow! Three babies on the way. It's a population boom on Isabella Island. LOL
Mr Vulture huh? Could that be Volturi? :-) Do I see Aro making an appearance in the future? Can't wait to find out.
Thanks for updating. As usual the story is fantastic. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response:
Hi Marlena68
Thanks for reading and reviewing chapter 36 - glad you enjoyed it. I hope you're happy with the outcomes in chapter 37. Chapter 38 will be posted next weekend. You might just be right about Mr Vulture. Have a look back through the earlier chapters, there was something mentioned.

Awesome as usual!. Poor Edward, fracturing his nose. I guess that's what he gets for snooping. Love the pictures on your blog. They add so much to the story and really bring it to life. I didn't realize all the things you could make with bamboo and palm fronds. :-) Well now that Aro has arrived, I can only imagine what's in store. How will they get out of this one? And what will Vivi do when she learns about Jimmy's fate? Oh boy! Glad Edward was smart enough to grab the glock.
Thanks again for another great chapter and all the hard work.
Author's Response:
Hi Marlena68
Happy New Year! Thanks for reviewing chapter 40.
It is amazing what can be made with bamboo and other natural resources. People in the Pacific tropics, Asia and Tropical South America have been using these resources for hundreds if not thousands of years to build their homes, furniture and clothing. Some bamboo buildings in Asia which are still standing and in use are a thousand years old. If figure if our need was great, we'd learn how to use natural resources to our advantage as well! *chuckles*
Chapter 40 is with my beta for editing, so I should have it posted in a day or two.
Regards, Jkazzie
Date: 26 Jun 2013 Title: Chapter 43: Chapter 43 - Mama Mia
Thanks for the update. It was well worth the wait.
Your vacation sounds like it was great. I love New York as well. Spent some time there last November and I agree Central Park is beautiful. One of these days I'll have to spend a little more time in NYC and explore some more.
Santa Monica is a lovely area. My husbands aunt lived there for many years. We went out to visit and do all the Hollywood tourist stuff. I know what you mean about it being out there.
Well, take care.
School teacher Bella sends a care package and letter to Army sergeant Edward, who is stationed in Afghanistan.
They begin a relationship through letters, phone calls, and video chats.
There's love, there's language, and there's adult situations, plus a strong, independent Bella and the Edward we all know and love.

Thanks for the wonderful updates.

Thank you for posting the extra chapters. Do I really have to say it? Loved them! As much as I'm looking forward to their face to face meeting, I think the anticipation and build up is well worth it. To watch these two characters fall in love and discover each other on an emotional level is beautiful.
I do have to admit I did squee (On the inside. Wouldn't wan't my daughter to think I'm totally crazy. Oh who am I kidding she already thinks I'm crazy.) when the ILY's were exchanged. Looking forward to Bella's reaction to this revelation.
Until tomorrow......

Are the girls going to meet them when they get off the plane in Florida? Come on. They have to. It's not like they habe school anymore. Oh what a nice surprise that would be for Sarge. Just sayin'. :-)
Thanks ever so for the daily updates! Loving every word.
Edward wins more than he bargained for at what was supposed to be a friendly poker game. AH.

I'm not very good at reviews but I just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying this story. It was refreshing to finally get Bella's point of view a few chapters back to know what she's thinking. It is a touching story and very well written. The whole pit with the litter box and cat food was heartbreaking. As far as her language skills I think watching TV and perhaps using children's picture books would be a good way to develop that. I notice you introduced the DVD player and Disney movies, so I'm assuming that will help her vocabulary in the future. I can't wait to find out what Wisp's whole story is and what happened to her parents. I'm guessing the man in the sketch she did is either Laurant or Aro. Dr. Gerandy is also a mystery I'm looking forward to having solved.
Thank you so much for all your hard work. I have definitely gotten a lot of enjoyment out of reading this story. It is definitely one of the best fanfics I've read. Can't wait for more updates.
Can true love make the worst nightmare a beautiful dream? Bella is a troubled sixteen years old who is forced to marry her father's friend, thirty-five years old Edward Masen. Will he be her salvation? Will they find love in this odd situation? AH. Slightly OOC

Is it supposed to be Cornwell or are you talking about Cornell University in Ithica NY?
Just wondering..
Edward was 19. Bella was 13. They were next door neighbors. Charlie was the chief of police. Carlisle was a doctor at the local hospital.
Edward’s little sister Alice was also 13 and Bella’s best friend.
While home from college for the summer, Edward spent time with his little sister and her best friend so their parents could all go out for dinner.
Over the next several years, Edward and Bella became good friends, until the summer she turned 16 when she transformed before his eyes.
AH, ExB, Mostly EPOV, sort of coming-of-age, hopefully a little poignant, with a splash of angst until Bella's at least seventeen. Mature for language, eventual lemons and a very spunky Bella.
Banner made by yours truly!

I am a 16 Year old girl from a small town in Forks. I have a loving family and the greatest twin brother. My life changed forever the day I won a radio contest to attend a film premiere and meet my actor crush, Edward Masen. After spending one night with him my life will never be the same again. Rated M for language and lemons.

This story looked very promising to me, however, because of misspellings and poor grammer I find it very difficult to read. This is meant to be constructive criticism not an insult. You should have a beta reader look over your work before posting.
