Note from blushnscarlet

Well, it was a cold Sunday in January, and I was checking my daily Google alert for 'sambora'.  The alert for this particular day didn't just have news articles - there was a blog called 'Second Chances' listed way down at the bottom.  My curiosity was piqued, so I clicked and found myself in the middle of  a story about the men of Jovi (thanks Liz!).   I hadn't known there WAS such a thing and immediately began Googling Bon Jovi fan fiction.  I found the likes of authors norwichliz, The Goddess Hathor, Fiction Mistress, JohnnyRichie'sGina, etc., and subsequently spent the next six months with my head in my laptop reading everything I could find. ( I'll be honest, I even called in sick to work one day while I was in the middle of Blood Relatives).  I spent so much time involved in it that my best friend told me I should write my own.  So I thought I'd give it a try (thanks Steph!).  


To date, you've seen the first three chapters at my first and only attempt at fan fic.  My only attempt at creating a story from my own imagination and creativity.  It takes a lot of courage to put it out there the first time, so kudos to you ladies that do it on a regular basis! :0) 


Now with all of that being said, I really just wanted to thank each of you who have encouraged me either in person, or through Twitter, e-mail or comments.  Your feedback has meant SOOO much to me and it inspires me to keep going with this little addiction of mine.  (which is good, because I think Allegra has developed a life of her own and is just using me to tell her story... LOL!)  So, from the bottom of my heart... thank you, thank you, thank you - and I hope you continue to enjoy my posts.
