Sovereign Fate Chapter 5 Teaser
Edward looked up at Jasper with fire in his eyes. “Lord Whitlock, if it had been you and the girl in Italy had been Alice, would you be capable of simply ‘moving on’?”
Jasper winced, a look of chagrin on his face. “Point taken, Edward. I still say though, that since this is essentially out of your control. Try to focus on what blessings you have been granted in this union and try to let that be enough…at least for now.”
Edward sighed, running his hands through his hair. “You are right. Speaking of making the best of a bad situation, can you look into something for me? Last night I made the acquaintance of a Lady Angela Webber, of Princess Isabella’s court. I wish you to see if it would be possible for her to accompany us to England.”
Jasper’s hand slammed down on the table. “Edward, please tell me you didn’t. I shall not order up a readymade mistress for you amongst your new wife’s ladies. I refuse.”
The Wallflower and The Flyboy Chapter 11 Teaser
I had gotten back at 1:15, grabbing my steno pad and settling into Marcus’ office to take dictation on some letters that needed sent out immediately. I was halfway through my notations for the second letter when Angela burst into the office with wild, excited eyes.
“We have an operator on the line with a call from Mr. Edward Cullen from London, asking if we will reverse the charges!”
My eyes flew wide as I ran to Marcus’ phone, yanking up the receiver and instantly babbling to the operator that we would accept the charges immediately. I looked up to see Marcus’ hands grasped at his chest as he closed his eyes and moved his lips in what appeared to be silent prayer. A few seconds later the most wonderful voice in the world greeted me, making my body vibrate from head to toe with joy.
“Is that my beautiful Mrs. Cullen on the line?”
I gasped a cry as tears rolled down my cheeks. “Edward! Oh thank God! I can’t believe I’m talking to you. I miss you so much, sweetheart!”
Angela smiled brightly at me, quietly closing the door, but not before I got a peek of a sniffling Alice and a smiling Mrs. Cope on the other side of the door jamb.
“Oh God, Bella. I love you so much. You can’t even know how good it is to hear your voice. I got your letter this afternoon and begged the Admiral to let me go ashore to call you.”
My heart began to pound. He got that letter, but did he didn’t mention the one sent just days before. Did he not get it?
“Edward, did you get any other letters before that?”
I could hear the smile in his voice. “The mail plane couldn’t make it last week due to a storm. So I got three of your letters today, but I haven’t gotten to read the others since I opened this one first because of the stamp and have been working to get to the phone ever since. Why? Is everything okay?”
Look for both updates this coming Thursday! (I've given up on trying to post them different days...I'm too impatient)

A Wolf in FFN Admins Clothing?
So I woke up this morning to a Twilight Awards post that referenced a post by angstgoddess03 (author of Wide Awake) Who has observed that "James" a supposed Admin with fanfiction.net may be a fake. I'm going to link you to her post so you can read it from the original sleuth who figured this out, but it truly does look like in some cases we've been duped...well for a while at least. I'm not even going to try to explain because AG does it so much better!

Hope you are all having creative weeks. I've gotten several creative bursts that have resulted in more chapters queued up for posting. Best of luck in fanfiction land!

Flyboy Chapter 10 Sneak Peek!
I realized that I have a busy day tomorrow, so I posted the Flyboy Chapter early. Here's your sneak peek for chapter 10!
“I don’t have any answers at all, Bella. Without Edward’s proxy, we have no leg to stand on. I just can’t believe that Edward dot every ‘I’ and cross every ‘t’ Cullen didn’t leave something in place when he left. It was so unlike him. Can you do me a favor? Ask him in your next letter if there was something left in place? I don’t want to bother him with the worry, but if we don’t do something he will be even more upset that we didn’t consult him.”
I nodded solemnly with a sigh. I asked if Marcus had anything more for me and he simply shook his head no, telling me to go write a letter and mail it right away. We couldn’t risk the loss of another minute. I rushed to my desk, quickly writing a long letter to Edward, telling him all that we had learned over the past week, and asking him if he had left anything in place in regard to a proxy for his votes in the board. I added a quick personal note telling him I prayed for him constantly and missed him more than words could describe before addressing the envelope. I placed the stamp right side up, hoping this would draw his attention to the importance of the letter, and rushed down to reception to ask Angela to get it in the mail sooner rather than later.
She looked down at the envelope and then back up to me with wide blinking eyes. I knew I could trust Angela. The only absolute truth I had learned through the interactions within the office workers was that Angela Webber-Cheney was a true blue to the core good and honest person. Her mouth dropped open as she finally finished processing the info as I smirked at her while lifting my finger to my lips. She closed her mouth slowly, the expression on her face morphing into a wry smile before she nodded, tucking the envelope into her pocket.
“It’s urgent, Angela, and business related. I would consider it a personal favor if you could go down to drop it at the post box right now. Then we don’t have to worry about anybody else catching wind of anything, okay?”
She nodded emphatically before grabbing her purse and disappearing quickly toward the elevator. I stopped in Mrs. Cope’s office informing her that I sent Angela on an errand for Marcus and that she needed to send one of the other girls to reception to fill in until she returned.

SF and Flyboy Sneak Peeks!
Can't wait for a taste of the next chapter in my two new posting fics? Get a sneak peek now!
A Peek at The Wallflower and the Flyboy Chapter 9
After another hour of nonstop yelling, the door finally flew open, bouncing off the wall as Aro stormed out. He glared at me as he passed, smacking my desk on his way by. “Just so you know, little secretary girl, you are fired.”
I blinked at him in surprise, unsure of what I had done to be fired. “Why?” I squeaked out in my surprise.
He glared at me. “You left your post without permission. I gave you no leave to go to lunch and Marcus was not here to allow it. Simply leaving a note on your desk is not acceptable as I had no secretary when I returned ten minutes after I had left.”
I shook my head in confusion. “But it is not our practice here to have to be dismissed. I have a set lunchtime every day and I left a note to inform anyone who returned. These are not grounds to fire me, Mr. Volturi.”
He sneered at me, leaning in so that he was nose to nose with me. “I RUN THIS COMPANY! I get to say who is in my employ and you are not!”
I swallowed the bitter bile in my throat as my heart raced in my chest. I stared nervously into the eyes of an evil man without a soul. I could see without having known him for an entire day that the man was cold and heartless. He didn’t care about the company or the people who worked for him, and he most certainly didn’t care about the people that the company’s product was meant to protect. His only motivation was money and power, and he didn’t care who he crushed to keep it.
A Peek at Soveriegn Fate Chapter 4
Jacob was already waiting for her with a wide, bright smile. “My beautiful baby sister, how are you faring?”
She walked to him, taking his presented arm as they began to stroll along a favored route for these constitutions. Isabella sighed, struggling to push down her pain. “As well as to be expected,” She finally mumbled. “I had my last dress fitting today and it made me sad to know that it was as much my shackles to a future I did not choose as a beautiful frock of silk. I barely held in my tears until after the seamstress left. I do not want to leave my home, Jacob…to leave you. What am I going to do without you…and Angela…and mother?”
He sighed, stopping their walk before turning to her and running his hand through her hair. “You are a strong woman, my Bella. You will be fine. Edward is not quite the cad either of us envisioned. He has impeccable manners, is well spoken, and most important of all, he respects people who are forthright and honest. I think the two of you will get along fine once you’ve had the chance to get to know one another.”
He wiped away a tear that had escaped Bella’s eye as she sniffled. “You really think so? I mean, I trust your opinion, Jake. I know that if you think he’s a good man, then he probably is, but do you really think that we might possibly get along?”
He smiled, taking Bella’s arm again and tugging her to continue their traverse. “Yes, Bella, I do think you will get along. I had a talk with him, and he promised to be respectful of you. He had many questions as to whether the rumors about your virtues and beauty were true, and I could see the look of respect growing in his eyes with each passing thing he learned about you. Honestly, sweet girl, I think he’s feeling as apprehensive about this arrangement as you are, he’s just expressing his displeasure in an entirely different manner.”
Bella sighed, leaning her head on Jacob’s shoulder. “I hope so, Jake. I hope that we can find a common ground and at the very least, learn to respect one another.”
Jacob chuckled as he reached his free hand over to clasp Bella’s. “I don’t think that will be a problem, honey. I honestly don’t.”

Sovereign Fate Chapter 2 sneak peek
Here's a little snipped from chapter 2 of Sovereign Fate. Hope you enjoy!
Finally, the heat of the day and the weight of the dresses tired the young ladies out, as they collapsed on a bench near the older monarchs. Bella smiled as she lifted her face to the sky, the sun beaming down gloriously onto her face. Days like these always reminded her of Italy and Tony. Without even realizing she was doing it, she began to hum the song Tony sang to her on luxuriously lazy days such as these. The tune had haunted her mind and her heart ever since that time and even now it made her chest twist and twine in painful ways as the bittersweet memories took on a visceral effect under her skin.
Bella wasn’t sure how much she had hummed when she heard a gasp beside her. She opened her eyes to glance questioningly at a thoroughly shocked Alice. Her mouth hung agape in a very unladylike manner as her eyes darted back and forth. Then Bella watched on as her face slowly came back together, her eyes dancing with light as her lips pulled up into a vibrant smile so bright it rivaled the rays of the burning sun itself.
Alice noticed Bella’s confusion and reached over to pat her arm comfortingly. “Don’t worry, my sister, all will work out fine in time. Just keep faith, dear Bella, that God has greater plans in heaven and on earth than we can ever dream.”
Bella chuckled. “Isn’t that a poor, mixed up quotation of Shakespeare? I thought sure you, English Princess, would not have butchered him so.”
Alice smiled back with a sigh. Yes, Bella was most definitely the match of which her brother had always dreamed. She just hoped that the ignorant man-child had not already destroyed his chances for true and all encompassing happiness thanks to his crude and hasty actions. His only hope will be if this girl is truly the kind hearted girl that all of Europe perceives her as being.
Chapter 2 will post Wednesdays and Saturdays on both TWCSlibrary.com and fanfiction.net

New Story Home, New Story In the Works, and A New Way to show my banners!
It's been a crazy week with all the things going on with fanfiction.net. It is official. I have moved almost all of my fics to twcslibrary.com. I will be posting all 'full octane' stories there, with a modified version on fanfiction in the case of The Wallflower and The Flyboy.
The following is my Author Page for TWCS: http://www.twcslibrary.com/viewuser.php?uid=1534
In addition, I am in the process of starting another new project. Actually I'm already six chapters in (granted the chapters are short by my typical standards, but still....) It's called Sovereign Fate. I have posted a teaser and the schmexy banner I made to go along with it on my author's page posted above. Go check it out!
In addition, please notice that I copied my beta AgoodWITCH and created a moving slideshow of all of my banners at the top of the page! Definitely a good thing since all of a sudden the blog cut them off when they didn't do so before :(
At any rate, I just wanted to let anyone following this know if they didn't already. If you need more info on all the things going on with fanfiction, go to theantifanfictionbully.blogspot.com
