Affairs of the Heart - Epilogue

Merry Christmas everyone! (or whatever it is you celebrate and if you don't celebrate, happy Tuesday/Wednesday) :)
 
We have reached the final part of the story. I hope you've enjoyed reading it.
 
  Affairs of the Heart - Epilogue

I am taking a little break for the holidays but hopefully will be posting a new story early in the New Year, and of course our favourite Potions Master celebrates his birthday in January (as do I coincidentally).

As ever, thanks for reading and for your reviews. They are always appreciated.

Affairs of the Heart - Chapter Eleven

Just a quick post this week as I'm busy doing Christmas stuff.

Grief is such a terrible thing, especially when you live as long as wizards do.
 
  Affairs of the Heart - Chapter 11

Thanks for reading as always.

Affairs of the Heart - Chapter Ten

And now the story really gets going. Time for Hermione and Ron to do what they should have done fifty years ago. . . .
 
  Affairs of the Heart - Chapter 10

Thank you to everyone who has given reviews. I know stories about infidelity can be difficult to read but it is interesting to hear people's thoughts, especially when it has made them think.

Until next week, have fun reading (and wrapping Christmas presents, probably)

Affairs of the Heart - Chapter Nine

So this is a really short chapter, but it's an absolutely crucial one as I'm sure you'll understand when you read it. 

My fantastic beta thought that because of the tone of the piece that this was the final chapter of the story when I sent it to her and was quite upset that it ended where it did (she's very much a loose ends tied up type of a person whereas I've never been so much bothered by that). But actually, the story didn't really start until the last chapter, at least in my mind, as the early years etc. were just set dressing to give readers an understanding of Severus and Hermione's relationship and the real story gets going properly next week. It is also a much longer chapter to make up for this little interlude.
 
  Affairs of the Heart - Chapter 9 

Thank you so much for the reviews etc. I really do appreciate it, and it's nice to know people's thoughts on the story.

As for NaNoWriMo I didn't manage to complete it but I did get two thirds of the way. I'll admit I also got a lot of lovely Christmas cards made when I should have been writing - but hey, you can't do everything, right?
 
Enjoy reading.

Affairs of the Heart - Chapter Eight

I'm posting a day later than normal because I'm in the middle of a migraine and I just couldn't make it out of bed and onto the computer yesterday. Apologies for that but hopefully it was worth waiting for.

Sad stuff this week, and one of my readers will finally get the answer to their question.

  Affairs of the Heart - Chapter 8 

As always I would appreciate a review or comment. I'm also happy that people are following and favouriting the story. Thank you so much.

You'll note I'm deliberately ignoring that elephant in the Room (NaNo . . .shhhh not talking about that this week).

Enjoy the story. See you next week when hopefully all will be well, and Christmas will be under way!

Affairs of the Heart - Chapter Seven

Just time to get the latest chapter posted before I dash off out. Got a very busy week, so little time for writing unfortunately.

Yep, that means NaNoWriMo is going to go down to the wire (as always).

  Affairs of the Heart - Chapter 7 

Comments and reviews are always appreciated.

See you next week

Affairs of the Heart - Chapter Six

Welcome to another chapter. It's been a slightly better week for NaNoWriMoing as I have now managed just over 11,000 words - okay, I know that's still not that good considering we're on day 12. Still a long way to go, and not much time to do it in as work keeps me very late at the moment and I can't seem to write at all during the week and I keep having the urge to make Christmas cards rather than write.

Anyway, without further ado, here's the latest update:
 
Affairs of the Heart - Chapter 6 

As always I would love a review or comment, and please feel free to favourite the story.  That always makes me smile - as does people finding and enjoying the old stories.

Affairs of the Heart - Chapter Five

Five days into NaNoWriMo and it's going pretty much as it always does. I've written a measly 1,222 words and keep finding things to do that have nothing to do with writing, at least not story writing. Hopefully I'll get the urge for a major writing session at the weekend otherwise it could turn into a last minute sprint, although there's still plenty of time yet so I'm confident I'll win. 

So onto the latest chapter.

 
Affairs of the Heart - Chapter 5 

Any reviews or comment would be greatly appreciated.

Affairs of the Heart - Chapter Four

So I survived the great storm and have posted the latest chapter of the story. Things are beginning to get interesting between Severus and Hermione again. . . .
 
Affairs of the Heart - Chapter 4 

As always a review or comment would be greatly appreciated.

And now the countdown starts to NaNoWriMo. In four days time I shall be (mainly) abandoning my HP fan fiction for a month in order to write something original - which at the current time is intended to be a crime novel, although this may change if things don't go to plan (as they quite often don't with my writing). I have managed to successfully complete it for 3 of the 5 years I've taken part, so fingers crossed that this year will also be a successful one for me. 

For those of you who don't know what NaNoWriMo is, follow the link for more information - or to sign up. Essentially it's an annual novel writing project which professional and amateur writers from all over the world become involved in. 

They describe it as "a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to creative writing. On November 1, participants begin working towards the goal of writing a 50,000 word novel by 11:59 p.m. on November 30. Valuing enthusiasm, determination, and a deadline, NaNoWriMo is for anyone who has ever thought fleetingly about writing a novel." For more in-depth information on how it works click here

Basically, for me it's an excuse to write without worrying that I should be doing other things as I have a deadline to meet in order to win. It's not the final book, just the first rough draft, but just managing to get 50,000 words down is an achievement, even if it never goes any further.

I will still be posting Affairs of the Heart every week as I've got a schedule set up with my beta in readiness, so barring unforeseen circumstances there shouldn't be any delay with it. 

If you're taking part in NaNoWriMo too, then the best of luck to you! I hope you win :)

Affairs of the Heart - Chapter Three

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all well. So it's that time again, yes - time for the latest chapter of the story.
 
Affairs of the Heart - Chapter 3 

I really hope you're enjoying reading it, and some of my other stories too, as they are getting a healthy amount of visitors at the moment, which is always pleasing. 

As ever I'd love a review or comment.

Affairs of the Heart - Chapter Two

Welcome to the second chapter of the new story.

Affairs of the Heart

Thank you to everyone who's checked it out. I hope you're enjoying it. As always I would love a review, or a message on here, telling me what you think so far.

I have been extremely productive this week (which is good). Hopefully it will continue throughout November as it will be NaNoWriMo time again and as always I intend to take part. But don't worry, it shouldn't interfere with posting the story.

Affairs of the Heart

A love story spanning decades, transcending life and death . . . just what our protagonists wanted!


Yep, I know - I'm posting twice in one week . . . which is a miracle.

Things are going extremely well right now and so I've just posted the prologue and the first chapter of my new Severus Snape/Hermione Granger romance called 'Affairs of the Heart' on FanFiction.Net.

This a sweet story set over several years, but contains no lemons so is suitable for all ages.

Affairs of the Heart

I hope you enjoy it and as always would love receive a review, or a message on here, telling me what you think.

The picture I have used for this story is called 'Kiss' and is a scrapbook page I made of my favourite wall plaque, which I unfortunately can't afford to buy as it's well out of my price range.

Dreams

Hurrah, I've finally posted something new. And this really is completely new for me as it contains a shiny new pairing - Hermione and Yaxley. 


I had been thinking about this pairing for quite a while and had been considering writing something about them as there didn’t seem to be anything out there. But then I came across this fabulous story on AFF.Net called Captive at Number 12 by CeliaEquus, which pretty much covered everything I had intended to write about them. There seemed to be no point in repeating the story and so, instead, my mind conjured this little meeting between the couple instead. 

Dreams
   
Please note that it's posted on AFF.Net as there are a few lemons.

As always all reviews and votes would be gratefully appreciated.

So it's time for me to disappear back in my cave to get on with some writing. There's some exciting things coming soon, I promise.

Married - Chapter 6

And so that sad time comes again when I say goodbye to another story, with the posting of the final chapter. I'm sure if you've read the rest you can guess what's going to happen, but you can check it out at the link below.

Married - Chapter Six
   
Once again I want to thank everyone who has been reading the story, and especially those who have left reviews. I also want to thank my beta Mamacita who is always such a great support for me.

I am currently writing a whole bunch of stuff, but not yet sure what my next posted story will be. There is a little one-shot that I'm working on which is almost ready that will go on AFF.net when it's complete as it's rather graphic, but be assured as soon as I have something to post I will let you know on here, as always.  

In the meantime please feel free to check out my other stories, listed to the right or, if you've read any other great stories then leave me a recommendation so I can go and check them out. 

Until next time,

Married - Chapter Five

So, I've managed to get back on track now that I'm feeling a bit better. Without further ado let me introduce you to the penultimate chapter of my current story.

Married - Chapter Five
 
Thank you to everyone who has read this, and especially those who have left reviews. I'm really pleased to have gained some new readers with this story and that you are checking out some of my other work as well as reading the current one. This always makes me happy.

Have a great week.

Married - Chapter Two

So I've just posted the next chapter of my latest story. Let's hope you're not too shocked by the outcome of Hermione and Draco's hen/stag do - although,  I suppose if you're a Dramione shipper it probably won't come as too much of a surprise ;)

Married - Chapter Two
 
Thank you to everyone who is reading, and especially to those who have left reviews.

Loved - Chapter Thirteen

And so the end has arrived and the final chapter of Loved has been posted.

Loved - Chapter Thirteen
   
 Thank you all for reading, and for making it to the end. I would love to know what you thought of it.

Just a reminder that the first part of my new story, featuring Draco and Hermione, called Married has been posted this week, too.

Until next week, happy reading!

Married - Chapter One

Happy August!

It's so hot here tonight that I almost can't breathe and can't be bothered to do anything much, so I thought I'd celebrate the new month with a brand new story.

This began life, as so many of my stories do, as a oneshot about Hermione's hen weekend and a chance encounter with someone she hadn't seen since leaving school, but it soon took on a life of its own and is turning into something much larger.

Although it is a little cheeky in places and there may be a few swear words there's no real lemons so it's being hosted on FanFiction.Net, although it is rated M.

So without further ado let me present to you the first chapter of Married
  
Of course you all know what I'm going to say next by now - reviews would be great. I would love to know what you think of the new story.

Oh, and before I go, the last part of Loved will be up sometime this weekend. 

Enjoy reading!

Loved - Chapter Twelve

And so we've reached the penultimate chapter of Loved and things are finally going right for our couple . . . or are they?

Loved - Chapter Twelve
   
I've been doing quite a lot of writing recently, so hopefully will have something new to put out shortly, probably another Dramione as I can't go too long without a bit of them.

As always I'd love a review, or some votes - both are good. And thanks to everyone who is reading or re-reading my old stories. I love to see them still active.

Until next week, happy reading!

Loved - Chapter Eleven

Happy Saturday everyone!

It's that time again, where I post the latest chapter of Loved  . . . and in our story things are finally coming to a climax.

Loved - Chapter Eleven
   
Oh, and there's only another two chapters to go after this and then the story will be concluded.


Once again I'm putting out a shameless plea for reviews or even just some votes. It really doesn't take much to just click on the vote button and it would make me extremely happy.

Thank you
