If you receive my newsletter, then you've already read my sentimental thoughts about today and After Dark and the end of the Night Owl Trilogy. So, let me just say thank you once more for reading, for writing reviews, for sharing my posts and Tweets, for encouraging me, for being kind to one another, and for going on this incredible writing journey with me.

I am so proud of After Dark -- I have to say, I reread the last chapter and the epilogue this morning and I was moved, not only by the story but by the places my characters took me. Took us. It seems like just yesterday I hit "publish" on my little romance novel, Night Owl. And now here we are. I've learned a great deal and made many friends -- made many mistakes and learned from those -- struggled at times, and felt ecstatic at other times. None of this would have been the same without you, my readers, fellow authors, bloggers, friends.

Here's a giveaway to celebrate the day.

Let's do this again some time.
