My final post on June 12th at 10:12 PM

Wow! :-)

Was this one heck of a day or what? We started out on a roll, posting and chatting and playing trivia, and then Google turned into Godzilla and tried to take down our whole city: not allowing folks to post, making us refresh the page 4-5 times just to see the latest comment, and then immediately kicking us off again...to start all over. All day. (I scrolled down and refreshed so many times today, my arm is stuck in a permanent pumping motion). lol

First, I apologize to all those who couldn't post or participate due to such poor design ~ yep, I said it, Google! LOL ~ and next, I want to thank everyone who hung in there and just kept right on trying! :-)

You guys are simply and purely...awesome.

The amount of support and good-will shared to day was truly heart warming. The book came out. Readers found it (eventually) -- what was happening with technology on June 12th??? -- and in the end, it was just a perfectly imperfect day :-).

To all those who have come to love Dark Moon Vale, I hope you enjoy BLOOD FATHER! Thank you again for all of your amazing support ~ I appreciate it more than you know. And just think, now you will FINALLY know what I'm talking about when I say: "May the rivers run crimson with their blood!" :-)

Here's to Kagen Silivasi!

And here's to each of you!

Wishing you all the best,

Tessa

P.S.

Dear Google,

To quote one of my street team members: "Talk about the little engine that could...NOT!" For shame! LOL
