"Forget all the rules


Forget about being published


Write for yourself and celebrate writing"


by Melinda Haynes


 


(My pen name was formerly smolley)


Just an ordinary lady who recently discovered the joy of writing.  I write stories that I would want to read.  Thnx to all those who read my stories and to those who comment on them. 


I surprised even myself in Aug 2018 by self-publishing my first book titled From Broken Heart to True Love, available on both amazon and barnes and noble websites.  It is an international romance story.  


Most of my stories are also posted on

Reviews, favorites, follows and just plain reads are very much appreciated. My creative juices ebb and flow but it is so much fun to create this alternate reality for such great characters. Nice to know there are folks out there who are fans of them.


7/7/20 - Get to know Evangeline and John (JOVAN) from the now defunct soap opera One Life to Love.  Check out this video on YouTube https://youtu.be/jQJqCuccyyM.


NCIS is on CBS on Tuesdays at 8 pm EST.  Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs is the lead character on the series.  My stories pair him with a character of my own creation, Alexis Marjorie McGregor.  They are quite a pair.


1/13/21 - Thnx everyone for your tremendous support during my stay here at valentchamber.  I have enjoyed sharing my stories with you all.  As I always say, I write stories that I would like to read and I am glad to say that I did just that and am so humbled that you also liked them.  Don't know if or when I will write again but just wanted to say that it's been such a journey for me, with ups and downs, but nevertheless it was enjoyable.  Stay safe and encouraged.

Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2

Good thing that someone ended Molly's little sniping session.  If Sam is Victor's son, why does Blair have custody?

Evangeline is right about trouble brewing if Victor allows Jack to come to him to vent.  Looking forward to more updates and more Evangeline and Victor action.

These two always made a good couple and the writers at OLTL made a great mistake in not continuing it.  Not necessarily to make them a romantic couple but their friendship was really special to see.  And that's coming from someone who only saw sniippets of them on YouTube.

Thnx for the read.



Author's Response:

Hey magensby,

In response to your question about Sam, I stayed cannon with that plot. Victor lost Sam when he was still identified as "Todd" He got back with Blair, wanted to fix the marriage, regained custody of Sam and they were suppose to live happily ever but... Todd went beserk, Blair took out a restraining order and of course he did something crazier by getting into an accident with Sam and the poor kid wasn't wearing a seat belt. I know you know :)

I never think the method or the consequences surprise Victor. When it comes the people he considers like family, he follows his own path no matter how good the advice. 

Back then OLTL always frustrated me when it came to Evangeline. It was like she was too good to be true because she had chemistry with every actor she shared scenes. OLTL blew it big time!!!!

Thanks so much for reading, enjoying and sharing a review! PS I'm on holiday right now that's why the second chapter came so quickly. When I get back to work who knows but there is always hope :)

It's a good thing that Evangeline finally releases all of that pent up frustration.  Nice that Victor is there for her.  Need more soon.  Thnx.



Author's Response:

It' so wonderful to receive a review from you magensby because it means that you are still reading my little fanfic :)

Yes its been there for a while. The move to Washington was good for her and also having a friend like Victor is as well. He is overcoming his own trials as well and he is the one person who can tell it to her straight and won't back down. She needs that in a best friend.

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

You go Victor!  Give Evangeline something to think about.  Enjoying the read.



Author's Response:

Hey magensby!

 

I've always believed that Victor would make the first move. Chapter 6 and I was finally thinking its about time myself LOL!!!!

I'm happy to know that you are enjoying my story still. Thanks so much for reading, enjoying, reviewing!!!

Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7

Something's fishy about Robert and Blair and where is Todd?  Todd needs to stay clear of Victor.  Well Evangeline has to decide whether she will pursue a romantic relationship with Victor.  Only time will tell.  More soon please.



Author's Response:

Hey magensby,

 

My lips are sealed with the first part of your question but the next chapter will offer more clarity. Indeed only time will tell :)

Thanks so so much for reading, enjoying and reviewing!!!

Sonny and Dara, who would have thunk it but it sounds good.  Please continue.



Author's Response:

Yes, who would have thunk it but it works.  I wish I could take credit, but someone else came up with the pairing and I thought it was weird but I was hooked and I'm a complete Brenda and Sonny forever type girl.

I'm glad it sounds good to you and I'll keep the story going.  THanks for reading and responding.
