Thanks to Lissa Bryan, I've found a very noble initiative: Stand Up for Katalina - an outpouring of fandom love for a beautiful soul. Here's the story behind this fundraising: Each of us has been touched and devastated by the ravages of cancer, and in order to recognize this, we’re offering the opportunity to dedicate the monetary donations in memory of, or in honor of, a loved one’s battle. “Stand Up 2 Cancer’s mission is to fund collaborative, translational cancer research to bring treatments from the bench to the bedside faster, and save lives now.” So while SU4K is intensely personal, it also offers the vehicle for universal, broad-based...

How do you feel at the beginning of a new work/study week, especially when you're still settling into a new school year? I can't say I like Mondays, and I guess I'm not the only one. What could I do to make Mondays sweeter? I'd like to offer a cup of coffee and a good pie to all my amazing readers. But it isn't possible; so I've though I could post a new fic. One chapter per week, on Monday. How does it sound? And since I'm afraid that getting a lot of spare time to read on a workday isn't easy, this fic will have short chapters. Consider...

Our wonderful friend Fany is back with a new review for another story that will touch your heart. The fic is complete. Elemental by TallulahBelle Summary: When the Swans return to their birthplace, Bella learns she is no ordinary teenager, and Forks is no ordinary town. Can she fulfill her destiny with the powerful Edward Cullen, or will the dark forces that threaten their families destroy them all?  Don't miss it because... I read this fic a long time ago.

 Expected publication: October 4th 2012 by The Writer's Coffee Shop MORE is the first installment of a new Young Adult paranormal trilogy by T.M. Franklin. If you like suspense and romance series, this is the right novel for you. It's also a great gift idea for friends who love a good adventure story. They won’t be disappointed. T.M. Franklin has a captivating writing style, and her words will immediately make you feel as you're following Ava and Caleb in their journey. The story begins with Ava Michaels, a brilliant college student who's experiencing some problems with physics, and Caleb, a kind older student who's helping her to pass the class. But you'll discover soon that we aren't delving into a college romance. No, T.M. Franklin has a different story to tell. We've been impressed by the way she disseminates hints in the first chapters, building tension and expectations about what's going to happen once you turn the page. Since the beginning of the story we know that, as a child, Ava had an active imagination –...
