Thank you everyone for joining. I meant it when I said that this experience has been beyond my wildest expectations. I will continue to give you updates via the newsletter. Next month’s edition will have the first sneak preview of the sequel, THE DRAGON AND THE PEARL, so don’t miss out!

BUTTERFLY SWORDS will continue to sell on bookshelves for the next two weeks only so grab a copy quickly. And if you liked Butterfly Swords, take a look at THE TAMING OF MEI LIN, a linked short story from Harlequin Historical Undone full of sword fights and romance.

Congratulations and thank you everyone for your support!!

To the winners: Winners can contact me here. I also have your e-mails and I will be in touch by the end of the weekend. If any of the winners would rather have  a nice print copy of Butterfly Swords for your reading pleasure, let me know and I’ll happily exchange. If any of the winners opt out, the items will be donated to the next Brenda Novak online auction for diabetes research or a similar charity.

Thank you so much

Thank you to all the friends, family members & fans who have encouraged and supported me.

Thank you to all the people on the interwebs who have put up banners and covers and started talking about Butterfly Swords long before it was available

To all the book bloggers who interviewed and blogged

To all the Tweeters who helped get the word out

To crazy friends who’ve talked up the book in bookstores to absolute strangers

To the bookmark and postcard posse who have taken postcards as far as Hawaii and Australia!

To reviewers who read the book and took the time to write up a review

To all the readers who recommended Butterfly Swords for book clubs and book chats.

Basically to everyone online and on the ground who’s taken the time to tell someone, just one other someone about Butterfly Swords, I wholeheartedly thank you. This Launch Celebration has exceeded all my wildest expectations. I feel like Butterfly Swords and The Taming of Mei Lin are surrounded by goodwill and generosity.

All that’s left to do is pass out gifts, right? I’ll draw the three grand prize winners tonight and post the names tomorrow morning. I’m almost done annotating the book, the twin swords are resting in my office, and the color poster looks fabulous.

In the meantime, virtual cake for everyone!
