The Slayer is dead. She leaves behind her friends, her sister, and her Watcher. He should not be so surprised. He has read the Watchers’ Diaries, whose pages all end so abruptly. He has been raised and guided towards this destiny since the age of ten. And so he should have known that this moment was inevitable. But she was not like the others. And in the end, she did not die like the others. Not cut down by her foe in battle, his Slayer sacrificed herself to save her sister and the world. And he is left alone, empty, a lifetime’s purpose lying dead atop the rubble before him. But there is another who can understand his pain, a dark power who will not let this Slayer rest in her grave. And though he believes he has already lost everything with her death, he will learn that he still has more to lose…

Buffy Backstory: Most people who have read my fiction are Buffy fans who know canon better than I do, usually. But some of my friends haven’t seen Buffy before (those heathens!) or are less familiar with the history. So I wrote this little background for them to brief them on what they should know to follow my story. If you fall into this category then by all means click here and educate yourself on all things Buffy.

Author's notes:

First, thanks to everyone who has been reading and giving feedback. I'm very pleased with how the whole thing turned out, and were it not for everyone's kind encouragement, I would have stopped at the first book. So you can all take credit for the second and third books.

Also, I'd like to thank Gail for beta reading the third book. I'm sure it ended up being a much larger project than she had probably expected, but she was always very thorough and helpful, and I think it's better for it. My friend Phil also did more than his share in editing and keeping all the medical/British stuff correct.

Next, I'd like to make a small announcement: I've printed up some copies of the whole thing, mostly for me and some of my friends/family. It's bound with Dusty's cover. So I just thought I'd offer it out there, that if anyone wanted their own copy, whether for your own personal collection or to convert your friends and/or family to the wonders of B/G, let me know. There's just the one print run, and only 5 copies left, so you won't be able to get them later. Who knows, might be a collector's item someday. If you want a copy, email , and I'll fill you in on the details.
