I'm just missing one "fancy egg" - rainbow I think. Sorry guys - gotta leave you now Have a great day and take care

I do need some stickers but no FB access so I can't check - thanks for offer hunnie

sure, here you go http://francine_szekely.tripod.com/index.html thank you - wow! you've got lots of recipes there I will make sure I have some Czech recipes on mine (with English translation of course) but bear with me - it might take me a while to do it . if you will have few minutes - could you perhaps give me few tips on how to put the files on there? I've never ever done anything like this (yes total website virgin)- did you use any of the "builders" there or did you write it up from scratch?

Leo I was unpacking after my move (almost) 3 weeks ago

Zoonie, Frannie, Bogie, Kijo and Leo sorry I'm in and out (at work - ya know). Frannie - Mr B had a little play with the website http://petra.jirusova.tripod.com/ but I said I don't like the wording he put and I want different sections - he will have to show me what he did so I have have a play myself. Do you mind giving me your address (again - I know) so I can steal some of your ideas (if you don't mind). Oh and I'm sure there is more than enough to pick Stickers - I'm still collecting (and sedning sometimes when I get around to it) but you can either send sticker or gift - not both My weekend was busy (so sick of the sight of my room now) - managed to get 95% of sorting, took out 2 shopping bags of rubbish, 2 shopping bags of paper for recycling and 2 big bags of stuff to charity shop. I can now walk around my bed and see the floor, wardrobes are tidy(ish) but in the morning of day 3 I was so sick of it that I took rest of stuff(the little things that don't fit anywhere) and put it all in one box under the bed to be sorted in near future. I have to re-organise my CD collection (lots of lose cd's with no boxes) and then I will start updating my wardrobe (yay shopping!). Zoonie - any news on Socks? Hope he's liking his new home.

hope you all had nice Easter. Any news I'm missing on? Frannie - some time in near future I'm going to pick your brain over your recipe website (yes I finally decided to work on mine too!)

Published on SM website (stepheniemeyer.com) on 30 March 2010 Surprise! I have a new book coming out. It's called The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. Well, it's more of a novella than an actual book—my version of a short story. Actually, this has been a surprise to me, too. The reason why it's a surprise was that I never intended to publish this story as a stand-alone book. I began this story a long time ago—before Twilight was even released. Back then I was just editing Eclipse, and in the thick of my vampire world. I was thinking a lot about the newborns, imagining their side of the story, and one thing led to another. I started writing from Bree's perspective about those final days, and what it was like to be a newborn. This story was something that I worked on off and on for a while, just for fun, in between the times I was writing or editing other Twilight novels. Later, when the concept for The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide came up, I thought that might be a good place for Bree. Her story is a nice complement to Eclipse; it explains a lot of the things that Bella never knew. So I dusted it off and finished it up for placement in the Guide. At the same time, it came in handy for the Eclipse film. Melissa (Rosenberg, the screenwriter) had a ton of questions about what exactly was going on in Seattle, how Victoria managed things, what Riley was like, etc. I let her read what I had then, and later gave the whole thing to the director, David Slade. David asked if Xavier, Bryce, and Jodelle (Riley, Victoria, and Bree) could read it as well, so all the parties involved would end up having a really strong foundation for their characters before the cameras started rolling. I was pleased that this side of the story would make it into the film and was looking forward to including it in the Guide. Then I got the news: my "short story" was nearly 200 pages long when typeset. It was too long to fit into the Guide—without ending up with a tome as heavy as the Oxford English Dictionary. My publisher approached me with the idea of releasing the Bree story on its own. One of the major benefits of this plan was that it would be out before the movie, so people would get to know Bree before they saw her in the film. That made sense to me, and we decided to go ahead with it. There was one thing I asked for: since this story had always been an extra for me, and was meant to be released with the Guide, I wanted to be able to offer it to my fans for free. You all have bought a ton of my books, and I wanted to give you this story as a gift. My publisher was awesome and embraced this idea. We still wanted to also produce a physical book with a cool cover (see below) that you can add to your set if you like, but starting at noon on June 7th until July 5th, it will also be available online at(breetanner.com). One other aspect of this release is the plan to give a more important gift to people who really need it. One dollar of each book purchased in the US from the first printing will be donated to the American Red Cross for their relief efforts in Haiti and Chile and other parts of the world where people are in great need. We're going to have an option online as well, so you can choose to make a donation if you want when you read the story online. I hope you will. I think that we can really help a lot of people with this. I really hope you all enjoy this story. I had a blast writing it. I'm glad that after all this time cooling her heels in my files, Bree finally gets her chance to shine. Thanks for all the support, Steph

the 5th book you guys are talking about is called Midnight Sun and you can get a draft of it from SM(stepheniemeyer.com) website - it's Twilight from Edwards POV. Yes SM was very upset when the draft was leaked on the net. She said on the website: ...."I'd rather my fans not read this version of Midnight Sun. It was only an incomplete draft; the writing is messy and flawed and full of mistakes. But how do I comment on this violation without driving more people to look for the illegal posting? It has taken me a while to decide how and if I could respond. But to end the confusion, I've decided to make the draft available here (at the end of this post). This way, my readers don't have to feel they have to make a sacrifice to stay honest. I hope this fragment gives you further insight into Edward's head and adds a new dimension to the Twilight story. That's what inspired me to write it in the first place. but then decided to post it on her website so fans don't feel that they have to miss out." also posted on the website: "June 2008 Update: In response to the outrageous number of emails that I have received with questions concerning Midnight Sun, I talked to Stephenie this weekend and she asked me to let everyone know that Midnight Sun is her next project. She has not yet finished writing it (and there is no timeline set up, so we all need to put a lot of effort into being patient for a while longer), but she is definitely still planning on having it published. And, after Breaking Dawn comes out, Stephenie will have much more time to focus on writing Midnight Sun." Go to her website and dowload the PDF from book section and read it - I can't wait for her to publish it - it will be great book.
