Good News! Good News!

I woke up this morning and read some good news. It was desperately needed since I felt like total garbage over the weekend, but that's a story for another time. The good news is that Under Construction, in all its angsty glory, was voted #5 in the top ten fics completed in December.

Holla!

You can find the complete list which includes, Edward's Eternal, Deb Drotuno, TheFicChick, TheQueenWriter and many others, here: TwiFanficRecs. Thank you for those of you who took time out of your busy schedules to vote for Under Construction. I'm tickled to be among such amazing authors.


In other news, Renovation and Under Construction, are up for top ten fic of the year, along with Surviving the Teenage Dream, Caught in the Flames and Star Crossed. You can find the link to vote here: Top Ten Fic of 2015.

You can vote once a day. I'd appreciate if you could take the time to vote for at least one of these stories. For now, here's a reminder about Renovations and Under Construction, their summaries and links for their stories. 

Renovations


Isabella Swan, thirty-six, is reeling from her recent divorce from the man she thought she would be spending her forever, the rest of her life. James Hunter broke her heart when he told her wanted to end it. He didn’t fight her, giving her all of the money, all of the furniture and everything else Bella wanted. Her mind and heart shattered, Bella took all of her belongings and moved to the opposite end of the country from her ex-husband, close to a dear friend, Esme Cullen. She purchases a beautiful home, but in badly need of repair and updating.

Esme suggests two men, Edward Masen, twenty-six, and his business partner, Garrett Keyes, twenty-seven, for the job. Edward is an up and coming contractor whom Esme had used for her interior design business. Garrett was a carpenter and headed up the construction end of the business. Bella contacted the men, knowing that she was going to hire them. Their website spoke to her. The clean lines and use of high-end appliances and materials were exactly what she envisioned for her new home. Little did she know that when both men came to interview, she would be physically attracted to them as well?

Will these men renovate Bella’s new home or will the renovations spill over into other aspects of her life, giving her love life a much needed makeover? 





Under Construction


Bella Swan, a divorced adoption attorney, is relishing her time with her two hot and attentive boyfriends, Edward Masen and Garrett Keyes. Never in her wildest dreams had she ever considered being with two men, let alone two men who adored her as much as they do. Their relationship is perfection. With all new relationships, they are trying to navigate the ins and outs of being together. Their little bubble of sexual exploration is threatened when Bella is sent to New York City for a high profile adoption proceeding.

With a heavy heart, Bella flies out to New York to meet her new clients, close friends of Aro Volturi, her former boss. Carmen and Eleazar D’Amato are finalizing the adoption of a child that they fostered for almost a year and a half, but dealing with them is easy. Running into her ex-husband is not. He manages to appear everywhere once he found out that Bella was in New York. His new marriage has crumbled and his estranged wife has taken their child, hiding him away from James. His job is hanging by a thread and he now blames Bella for everything.

On a whim, Edward and Garrett fly out to New York to surprise Bella. She loses herself with them, but they had an audience. But, who and to what end?

Restoration Banner

A huge, HUGE kudos goes to Mina Rivera for creating the final banner for the Renovations trilogy, Restoration. Again, she wows me with her creativity in graphic design. Mina, it's perfect and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Restoration Extended Summary

Edward and Garrett are miserable without Bella, namely Edward. It had been a month since she told them that she couldn’t do it anymore. She couldn’t risk her career for a whim. Edward was more heartbroken than Garrett. Edward had truly loved her, wanting more than what they had. Garrett had already started dating, but he was determined to bring Edward and Bella back together. They were destined to be together.

Bella was just as miserable, but she pushed herself, focusing on her job. James, her ex-husband, had fallen off the planet, thankfully, enjoying the hospitality of the prison in Ossining, New York. He had ruined the happiness she felt for the first time in years. She hated him for it, but she couldn’t dwell on it. 

One day, as she was going out for lunch with Marcus, her new boss, she ran into Garrett. He pulled aside and asked to meet with her. She tried to squirm away, but the sadness in his eyes broke her. They agreed to meet at a local pub near her home after work. Once there, Garrett explains to her that Edward is in love with her and that he is dying inside. Bella asked what Garrett felt. He explained that he did love her, but he wasn’t in love with her. Edward was lost and fading away. Bella’s tears and her own heart breaking affirmed Garrett’s hypothesis that she loved Edward, too. Fear broke them apart.


Will love bring them back together? 

Here's the extended summary for Restoration. The plan for this one is to begin posting on Wednesday. On Sunday (tomorrow), there will be a teaser for the first chapter posted. Updates will come on Wednesdays and Sundays with teasers on Mondays and Fridays. 

Thank you to Mina for her creation of the forthcoming banner and to Christina Downs for her guidance while I was writing this. Much love to both of you, girlies!

Teaser ... Coming on Sunday ...

Under Construction will begin posting, in earnest, on October 4th. The first teaser for Under Construction will be posted on here on Sunday. Keep your eyes peeled for the teaser. Once the story begins posting, updates will be made live on Sundays and Wednesdays, with teasers on Mondays and Thursdays.

Some of the teasers will be of the verbal variety ...

Some of the teasers will be of the picture variety ...

And then, there will be the pervy pic teasers ...

Those will be posted on my tumblr which is found here: tufano79fanficpictease. I don't feel comfortable (despite the 18+ button you have to click) posting nekkid pictures on here. Erotic, tastefully covered pictures will be posted, but the really pervy ones, with explicit content will be on the tumblr.

For now, I leave you with the banner, which was created by the amazing Mina Rivera. She's all sorts of awesome with her graphic design expertise. If I had an ounce of her talent ... Thanks, girlie!
