Teaser for Chapter 9 - Scent of a Woman

Chapter 9 has been written and beta'd and is in the queue for validation over on twilighted. A little teaser for the new chapter:

“Elizabeth….” I started and stopped as her thoughts intruded loudly.

It’s Liz. You used to call me Liz.

I started again, a knowing smile on my face, “Liz, love, it’s important you understand what I am before you make decisions about whether you want to be with me.”

I could sense that she was about to butt in with further protests of her love, but I forestalled her.

“I have told you what Carlisle did to make me as I am today. Liz, I am no longer human. My human form died 3 days after I was bitten; my heart has not pumped at all since then. I became a vampire.”

Liz’s eyes widened and she gulped in a large breath and held it. I started to worry as her lips started to turn blue.

“Liz, breathe, love.”

She inhaled at my words but her thoughts were a jumbled mess. “A Vampire? He is a blood-drinking Vampire? Images from that damn movie, Nosferatu, filled her mind. I was starting to panic, why did she have to see that movie? Now I knew she would be repulsed by me.

There is a youtube clip of highlights from the movie Nosferatu here:

New Story - Without Love

I have just finished a new story, Without Love, and entered it into the 'Love Spelled Backwards is Love' Challenge over on myvampfiction.com.

Here is the summary:
This is a story about LOVE. It’s the eternal love of a parent for their child. It’s the steadfast love for your best friend. It’s the passion of your first love and it’s the spice of forbidden love. This is a story based on the immortal music of Elvis Presley and in his words, “Without love, we have nothing at all.”

Pairings: Edward/Bella/Jasper

Warning: This story is for matures readers as this is a fic involving a polyamorous relationship including slash. Please do not read if that offends your sensabilities.

Surprise! - Entry for An Officer and a Gentleman Contest

This story is a little bit smutty and there is Edward/Jasper slash and Bella added in as a threesome. It is a little bit HOT! and I have no idea where the inspiration came for this one....that's all I'm saying....

Jasper is a Major in the Army and has taken a staff position at West Point. I can't find dress uniforms for the staff - so here are some cadets in dress uniform as inspiration:
















Edward is a NYPD cop in the fraud squad





















and Bella is a business analyst with the SEC.




















Bella has been away for a week and gets an earlier flight home to surprise her husband Edward, but who is more surprised when she walks in the door....

Undercover - Entry for the Roaring Twenties Contest

Just a little fic I posted for the Roaring Twenties comp. It was fun to write. I wanted to try my hand at a little UST so hopefully I acheived that.

Here are some pictures that inspired me to write the story and how the characters/places looked in my head:



Inspiration for Edward in my head: that jaw, that hair, those lips...


















Watching Bella in the club...











What I thought Bella looked like in the club when she danced the tango with Edward






















The tango as if no-one else was in the room...













this is here just because it is Johnny in the picture dancing...












Capone and his gang..















Three photos of 35 East Wacker - formerly the Jewellers Building - the location







Capone actually owned a speakeasy in the dome of the Jewellers Building called the Stratosphere Lounge....
