Author's note:

That's all she wrote... (hey, ha ha...that rhymes...so I'm a dork. Sue me...)

I just wanted to take the time to thank a few people who made this story come to life. First and foremost: to everyone who read the story creating my little fan base...you guys are incredible. Writing the story has been wonderful and the readers were great about leaving comments, suggestions, and other helpful tips.

To Stephenie Meyer, who created the characters for me to write about (and I'll be honest, poke fun at, too). Thanks for creating "Twilight"

To my friend Amy, who shoved the damn "Twilight" series down my throat...relentlessly. Thank you for being so obsessed with the series, but I still have to say that I think you need help with your obsession with Robert Pattinson.

I'd also like to thank my friends and coworkers, not that any of them will probably ever even read the story but would kick my ass if I didn't mention them.

To everybody who was kind enough to review: Thank you. I tried to take all of the criticism (good and bad) to help make me a better author. I've always believed that criticism helps you learn. And I like to learn.

A lot of you have asked if I'll ever do anymore fanfiction. I'm afraid that I'm going to have to leave that unanswered. As much as I've enjoyed writing on this site I think I've done all I can with the series. My goal for "The Dawn Was Already Broken" was to give Leah a suitable ending. I like to believe that I accomplished that. Leah's point of view actually came pretty easily to me (I'm not an angry psycho, I swear!) and I've been asked to do a sequel. but I don't know if I could recreate the energy I had in "The Dawn Was Already Broken." Sequels just never tend to be as good as the original. *hides from angry Star Wars fans*.

I've learned to never say never. Who knows? Who's to say that I won't have some weird random dream and spontaneously start writing another story?

If you liked this fic I have several others on here. "The Moon's Dark Side" is about how Leah reacts to Sam breaking up with her. It starts out in her POV, but it shifts to Seth's POV for a bit. Then there is "Leah's Sunrise" which is a nifty little OOC story about a "what if" situation with Leah and Jacob. My favorite by far has to be "Emmett Cullen: Wedding Planner" which is a short little two-shot. It's Emmett...planning Bella and Edward's wedding. Hijinks ensue. And if you are absolutely dying for a sequel to "The Dawn Was Already Broken", you can read "Diaries of a Pregnant Werewolf", which is a one-shot that does follow the epilogue of this story.

The fans on this site have always been incredible. I thank you for that. You guys have seriously been so kind. And it's incredibly humbling to hear your positive feedback. I have never enjoyed writing so much.

The greatest thing about writing is imagining an ending that you know could probably never happen in real life. I've always loved to bury myself in writing to create happy endings for everyone. Because unfortunately not everyone gets one in real life.

On a completely random ending note: I feel like I should thank my dog and cat (as odd as it may sound), because they are constantly doing things that make me laugh my ass off, therefore inspiring me to write. Plus, watching my goofball dog helped me to capture some of the funny werewolf traits that I was able to put into the story.

Hmmm, maybe I just need to watch them for a little inspiration? Though I highly doubt that werewolves chase laser pointers and run into the wall chasing soccer balls.

Seriously, thank you, guys.
