A Note To my Readers:

I do sincerely apologize for keeping you all in wait for the next chapter in my story. I still know where I'd like to go with the story and characters and details. I've been extremely busy with school and personal life. As soon as I have a moment to breathe I'll write more and post asap.

My story WILL be finished eventually. (I will not leave unfinished, as I have seen so many others on this site do. Nothing is more annoying to me than falling in love with characters in a certain story only for the author to leave it unfinished).

In the meantime, I'm looking for a good beta reader who will edit my story in a timely manner. I am open to any suggestions for story ideas, or a recommended beta reader.

In the meantime I've published the first two chapters of new story on Fictionpress: The Ghost Writer.

Hello There :)

I'm Ahava. I'm in my 20's, working on finishing my master's, an avid reader of various genres, as well as a closet Potterhead, Whovian, and Hunger Games fangirl, among other things. I love fan-fiction of my favorite movies along with all the classics & I occasionally dabble in writing myself just for catharsis. If you'd like to chat feel free to message me anytime via FanFiction.net or Yahoo: ahava247

Calling all anime fans: I am the editor and beta reader of my good friend, FistofGoku84. Check out his awesome new story!

Interests:

In no particular order I love music of most kinds, singing, curling up with a good book and a hot cup of tea. I love life and love to laugh, though I have a bit of an odd sense of humor. I am opinionated. I love to make friends teasing my dog, fine teas, photography, wine, foreign films, the color purple (as in the color, not the book. though the book is good too), blogging occasionally, exploring the city of Seattle, lounging on the beach in Hawaii, espresso, Japanese culture, Asian art, Oriental antiques, ethnic foods, travel, learning bits of new languages & cultures different from my own, writing stories & poetry, black roses, Israel, world history, the Middle East, photography, nighttime, the unexplained, Vampires, Victorian Gothic revival, orchids, architecture, the color black, classic literature, world news and politics, the Harry Potter series, The Hunger Games trilogy, and Anne Rice novels, (I do love the Twilight books, but Anne Rice is the original vampire authoress. Not even Edward Cullen comes close to the one and only Brat Prince, Lestat!)

Favorite Music:

SOOO many genres...from rock to classical to foreign. Lately though I've been on a giant Jazz kick... I've discovered the talents of Candy Dulfer, Sophie Milman, & flamenco guitarist Jesse Cook! I'm also an admitted classic rock junkie!

Book Quotes:

"And don't put too many candles on my cake. It'll look like the burnin' of Atlanta!" -Vivi (Divine Secrets of the Ya-ya Sisterhood)

“Have you grown to care for the boy, after all?"
"For him?" shouted Snape. "Expecto patronum!"
From the tip of his wand burst the silver doe: She landed on the office floor, bounded once across the office, and soared out the window. Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears.
‘After all this time?’
‘Always.’ said Snape.”
-Severus Snape (Harry Potter)

"Sometimes you remind me a lot of James. He called it my 'furry little problem' in company. Many people were under the impression that I owned a badly behaved rabbit."
- Remus Lupin (Harry Potter)
