Beta-reader:
I wrote fan fiction from the fall of 2008 until the fall of 2009 and was very active in the fic community as a validation beta for Twilighted and avid reader myself. :) I cannot say enough how much I value the friends I made reading, writing, and squeeing over fic.
These days, I've turned my attention to publishing original fiction in contemporary and paranormal romance under the pen name Laura Kaye. I am the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of a dozen books (as of the spring of 2013). None of my published works are based fan fiction stories, and all the fan fiction stories originally published to Twilight or FF (writing as LauraACullen) remain posted. Hope to see you around the interwebz! :)

Summary: 
Bella went cliff diving, but it didn't turn out so well. She broke her back. A decade later, Edward reappears in her life on the same night she loses her best friend and husband to a freak accident. Now a graduate student in Women's Studies, Bella isn't thrilled to see him. But when the Cullens re-enter Bella's life, they bring change, hope, and a new joint project that will require all their expertises.

Special Update:
For personal reasons (a ridiculously full teaching schedule and being recently put in charge of a bi-annual local conference and ongoing project), I am no longer able to reply to reviews and questions. But that said, I wanted to give a BIG THANK YOU to EVERYBODY for the wonderful feedback and kind words that have been sent my way since the completion of this story in August 2009. I do still check my messages about once every 1-2 weeks and read *every* review. I just have too many to reply to anymore, but I didn’t want anyone to think I was ignoring her/him in particular, or didn’t appreciate readers taking time to leave a review. Writing this story was tons of fun and I’m thrilled readers seem to enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed the chance to write it. I can’t tell you how flattering that is!!! As I used to reply to all reviews, I feel a little badly about this decision, but work has been requiring virtually all of my time since the new (academic) year began.
Best to all of you in 2010 and beyond!

I'm still here! And still enjoying, though I did need to go back and read a bit. And I'm glad I did, or I never would have picked up on the fact that Bella knew Jenks before the gala. Now the question is, did Jenks remember Marie/Bella? And, of course the answer is going to be YES, because that will lead to angst and the Volturi coming after Bella! I'm so glad they had this intimacy at the end...they've been dying for it! Author's Response: Thanks for sticking with me :)
Hey, I can't answer the Jenks question, but you knew that. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter!
Summary: Jasper Hale has been telling people that Bella's his girlfriend for years. What happens when she moves to Forks? Rated for seriously naughty stuff, so please be warned!

Addictive story! Author's Response: It's addictive to write, too.
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!
Summary:  AU-Human. Manwhore Edward bets Emmett that he can remain abstinent for 40 days and nights - or lose his beloved Volvo. He's convinced it'll be a piece of cake. Of course, that was before sex kitten Bella moved to Forks, and set her sights solely on the delectable Edward Cullen. NC-17 for extreme profanity, and ridiculously smutty sexy time.

Title: Chapter 8: Pocket Aces
And I could think of only one reason for a 17 year old, hormone-riddled boy to have paid any mind at all to a tiny bottle of smooth, silky, girly-flavored, and highly lubricating hand cream. A little session of self-satisfaction, Bella-scented style.
I couldn’t help but wonder how he still managed to look graceful while mowing down an entire farm.
First, you defiler of all things sacred...(and the whole effin Transformer conversation)
FRICKIN PRICELESS LINES. I was roarin'. Before the definite doucheness at the end of course.
