This concludes the Dark Roots series.  Enormous THANK YOU to my dear friend galedreamer, who truly has been my collaborator in this endeavor, and who has kept me focused on completing this final BJ series.  And I want to thank my original beta and dear friend Katy Zapatka, without whose encouragement and very practical help I'd never have gone beyond writing my very first BJ story four years ago.  

The BEST part of this fandom is the wonderful friends I've made and the fun we've had together, on-line and in person.  Thanks also to everyone who's ever written to provide feedback and encourage me to continue writing, your support has kept me going all this time!.  

It is my intention to continue writing, though I'm moving on from Brian and Justin.  In fact I am in the middle of writing a gay-themed novel, which I hope will be of interest to those who enjoy my writing style.  I'll post updates in my LJ as I proceed.

Thanks again to everyone who has encouraged and supported me on this amazingly wild and very rewarding ride!
