Dear Pink~I just wanted to tell you how moved I was by your families story of grief & triumph! I have lost a Niece at 19 & her father my brother-in-law both to diabetes! I also wanted to share my heart felt thanks for giving me a chance to open my life up to you too!! I just found the Rumpel & Belle story in April missed it last season! I know you are not going to believe this but I saw myself as Rumpelstiltskin,dark.lonely & brooding! I’m the sick one always needing surgeries! So with out realizing it I had been pushing my adorable husband away! I felt I wasn’t worth anything ~ I felt unlovable! I cried when Rumpel screams that at Belle NO~One Could ever LOVE Me! It put into words what my heart had been saying for a long time! I knew with out a doubt that if I wanted our Marriage to be better I was going to tell my hubby the truth! I needed him to be more Romantic ,I desperatley wanted him to want me for me! The Damm just broke we talked & actually listening to what each of us needed from the other it was like a dark veil had been lifted. We just celebrated our 27th as of May~31st! It’s the first time in years we actually went out with out any of our 3 Sons! It was wonderful to just be a couple again not Mom & Dad for a while! Thank you also for inspiring me to write again !!! I used to write love/mystery stories just for myself !!! I burned most of them years ago !!! Then while reading your stories I got inspired to pick it up again the ideas just woln’t stop ! I feel like myself again! From the bottom of my heart thank you for just being You~~~ Love your devoted fan Tessa~~~

Tessa, Thank you for another wonderful review! I did not know that Pheobe’s middle name is Belle…ironic! A couple of weeks ago, I was listening to “Raised on the Radio”, and that’s when the Pheobe idea was born. I get annoyed that some people make an issue of the age difference between Emilie and Robert as the actors playing RumBelle, so this was my opportunity to comically address that with Pheobe and Kevin. This chapter was a bit of an emotional roller-coaster ride, but it was done with the intent of drawing Gold and Izzy-B closer together. By the way, it was raining when I posted this chapter, and I couldn’t keep from smiling. For a long time now, I’ve had that scene playing in my head like a movie. It’s such a visual scene that it was challenging to think how to put it into words, but I’m really pleased with how it turned out. I’m glad you enjoyed it! —Nicole

Tessa, No, your reviews are not ‘too sappy’. Your reviews are quite touching. When I write, I’m initially writing for myself, so I don’t know if others will understand where I’m coming from, so it’s wonderful to realize readers, like you, do understand the emotional underpinnings of what I write. Thank you!—Nicole

I just have to tell you that I just finished reading both of new chapters of twin souls back to back They were terriffic!!! My full review is at the end of the last chapter! As for the chipped cup story~I wasn’t sure how to put in~to words to truly express my gratitude for what I would have had, if I wouldn’t have lost my papa~And that to me is what a romance or a mystery is all about gaining & learning something we need to broaden our perspective of our lives both our in personal & interactions with our loved ones! I hope to hear from you again soon ~~~ you are sweet to respond to my reviews of your work! Hope they aren’t to sappy!!! A devoted reader ~Tessa~~~

Dear Pink~Thank you a Thousand xxx!!! That was scary & overwhelming & heart ~breaking to think that they almost lost each other again! I don’t know you personally but through your quips interspersed in your stories I think we would be friends! Trekkie
(you will be assimilated ok ~7 of 9 !) As for Pheobe & Kevin I think they ROCK! Hey did you know her middle name is wait for it … “Belle” just an FYI~ As for the ride to the cabin & a wonderful picnic lunch it was a perfect way to unravel all of their stress’s caused by what that witch Regina had put both of them through !!! As I sit here & read this it is raining in Ohio, the fact she initiated the kiss is deliciously SEXY !!! I can still remember the first time I got my hubby to dance in the rain with me over (27 yrs. ago) he thought I was just a little nutty until I kissed him it is a very sensual & personal !!! If you haven’t ever done it ,it just seems silly!!!! You are a Great story teller & I can’t wait to read the rest of their tale! Have a Wonderful week!!!! Tessa~~~

Hi Leah, Thanks for the review! I just uploaded chapter 8 of RumBelle: We Are All…Reunion of Twin Souls. It gets pretty angsty, but has a nice bit of fun at the end.

Tessa, Thank you for your kind words about ‘Not Just A Cup’! I got teary eyed when I read them. Part of what makes Rum so appealing as a character is that he is such a devoted parent. My father was not devoted like Rum, so in writing that story, I really connected with what I’d want a father to be like in such a situation. I cried like a baby writing the part where Rum was really pushing Clarice to acknowledge what she wanted and what she was afraid of. I didn’t start out intending for the story to be as emotional as it was, but I’m happy it flowed out of me that way.
BTW, I just uploaded chapter 8 of RumBelle: We Are All…Reunion of Twin Souls. It gets pretty angsty, but has a nice bit of fun at the end.
