It has been 2 years since Sam and I got married and they have been the most wonderful years of my life, Him and Shay are everything to me. I still remember like it was yesterday the day Ayasha was born ,I was in our living room watching a movie when the contractions started and my water broke, I remember how Sam was so nervous when I told him it was time,he ran all around the house not knowing what to do first and when we got to the forks hospital he could not even remember my name to get me…

My brother and I are used to solitude. It's simply a way of existence for us. We're unable to stay in one place very long due to circumstances with the Volturi. They wiped out almost our entire coven. I feel vengeance for them yet a sort of pity as well. They call themselves the lawmen of the vampire race. I believe it's a front. Who put them in charge anyway? They are full of themselves to the point of even considering themselves as saints. What's all the hullabaloo about St. Marcus Day? I…

The wells have been dug out and the water in the house is once again running clear. The process by which a well is dug is very simple and primitive.

I’ve always loved hanging around in the woods ever since I was small, but with my life changing completely five years ago, I took on a whole new view on the forest surrounding us. I started to see and hear things in a way I never would have imagined. Listening to the sounds of the insects and animals all around is an experience in itself.



I like also that all this… Continue

There are memories that we have from our childhood that we keep with us till the day we die. This is one of those memories....



Every summer for as long as I could remember was spent holidaying on the Res, but not this year... I had just turned 11 and we were going to Charleston, South Carolina to visit family. I was the first one packed and immediately started bugging everyone to see if they were ready yet and if not...then why and how much longer did they think they would be.… Continue

Everyone likes chocolate right? Well not everyone I'm afraid... I know I did once upon a time but that was 311 years ago and remembering human food is just not in the equasion of treasured memories... However as I strolled by the shop windows I caught sight of something that took me back in time the best part of 160 years. They were in the shape of tiny hearts, wrapped in foil and presented in an array of colours.…

Jake and I have decided to do a few more unconventional things together. Or coming to think of it maybe, it is the typical thing that couples do. Anyway, we decided to go and see some expo's that was showing in Seattle and make a day out of it.… Continue

Imagine my delight as I gazed up from my perch high atop a tree in the north east corner of the Hoh Rainforest here in Clallam county. She is a Red Tail Hawk. She is not a pure albino but is classified under the term, 'Leucism'. Leucism is a term many consider more accurate than “partial albino.” A true albino would have pink eyes and pale bill and feet. The feathers on… Continue

Suceava district of Romania is known for it's touristic value and potential. This is pleasing for myself and Vladimir as we can safely hunt and go about our existence with little threat to being discovered. Within a short distance from the mansion, one can find the famous Romanian monastaries of Sucevita, Varatec, Agapia. The region is known also for its forests which cover 40%… Continue

Art

Vampires have incredibly heightened senses. With that comes the immense pleasure that we get when using them.Vladimir collects fine wine and I collect art. It makes for a very compatible existence. Though it is part of my livelihood it is also aesthetically pleasing and gives me great pleasure. I have a vast collection of fine art that I have amassed while on the move. …

Paris, France. The perfect romantic destination. The Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysees, The Arc du Triomphe all within reach. Or not.

I stand here on Champs Elysees trying to get my wits about me. My mind is a whirl of unrest, angst and worry. My wife, our daughters and friends have been taken to Volterra against their wishes being accused of murders they surely did not commit. I know though, that my boys are more than capable of taking care of the situation while I, along with Liam, Sio,…
