No not all of it, she downloads chapter by chapter and she is on chapter 8 so far, you can read it like that or you can read it once its finished like Dusty was.
I know we all feel the same :))

On fb.
Mary Elizabeth is one author
Sarah Clark is the other
Dusty lovers is a group we can vent also."
Yay! You found the authors.. I will join the group.. Need more Dusty :-)

I've sent them to you..enjoy :)))

would you send me the link to download this to my kindle?? This site is "firewalled" from my work computer and I can't stand waiting until I get home!!!

would you send ..."
Sorry Dena, just saw your message

Well it was not officially published, you can read it for free online. But it is one of the best stories I have ever read in my life and I would buy hardcopy in a heartbeat!
In the buddy read group Mary commented and said that basically her and Sarah are not on speaking terms and do not see eye to eye on how it would be published...so with that said Mary is pretty adamant that it will never be published even though the entire book, plot etc was her concept she cant publish without her and Sarah in agreement. So i feel like someone just punched me in the gut and I am totally winded. I want to erase my memory of reading Dusty and start all over.

hi :-)
just, for the record, "the entire book, plot, etc" was not only my former partner's.
it was and is, both of ours. it took two minds, two hearts, and four hands to create and shape Dusty.
when two people write something together, you can't split it apart anymore than you can split apart a painting two people created together, or a child. we took turns writing chapters, but there are details throughout every single chapter that belong to both of us. just like there would be mixed brushstrokes on a painting that two people created, or characteristics in a child that belong to each of that child's parents.
for the second part of the record, i wasn't against publishing. i just didn't want to rush into anything. that's what we couldn't see eye to eye on. and my unwillingness to rush, along with my unwillingness to turn something i love dearly (a free piece of art built around and for love) into something it isn't (a moneymaker), she's the one who said "Dusty will never see paper."
which is very sad, to say the very least.
but even if she hadn't, after everything that's happened, at this point, she's right.

Bah! This is so sad. I really thought Dusty was awesome. I've been in a funk since I finished. Thanks Sarah for contributing to my epic breakdown that I still haven't recovered from!

thank you so much for letting them, and in turn us, break you down :-)

Have you written other stories that you want to share with us????!!!

I've already had 5 people ask me to send it to them and I wish I could do more than just forward a copy. I guess the only way, us, asthe readers can show appreciation for such a heartfelt and raw story by spreading the word and having more people experience it the way we did.

Though sadly it will never, I can't help but think that Dusty should be on bookshelves everywhere. Those words deserve to be read by millions. I've read very few books as beautiful as such and as worthy of being published. You did an amazing job. Mary did an amazing job. Thank you for writing it. I feel like I owe you something in return. :)
Okay, I've said my piece. Time to start a petition on change.org to get these authors to publish Dusty already. j/k ;)

I know, Stacey. I want to charge everyone and send the money to the authors. Hahahahaha!! And the WILL PAY!
Yes!!! Change.org!! What's even worse is that I look at the"real" Edward and Bella as a bunch of lame nit wit dorks now!!

Mary Elizabeth is one author
Sarah Clark is the other
I did not know that. thanks for the info. I need to read the epilogue, but am not sure how to.

Mollie I love how everywhere I look you're saying you miss Dusty. And it's been weeks now. I feel the same.



it's overwhelming, all of this. it started with love, and grew with love, and seeing it become loved is such an amazing thing.
thank you guys, sincerely. thank you.

i took all of my stories down from ff.net a few years ago, but there are still two up there. one of them is a Dusty outtake, and the other is a short that was originally written for a contest, that i changed my mind and extended.
ps - please, don't charge anyone or send any money, lol.
love is free.
