As some of you may have heard, my partial draft of Midnight Sun was illegally posted on the Internet and has since been virally distributed without my knowledge or permission or the knowledge or permission of my publisher.

I have a good idea of how the leak happened as there were very few copies of Midnight Sun that left my possession and each was unique. Due to little changes I made to the manuscript at different times, I can tell when each left my possession and to whom it was given. The manuscript that was illegally distributed on the Internet was given to trusted individuals for a good purpose. I have no comment beyond that as I believe that there was no malicious intent with the initial distribution.

I did not want my readers to experience Midnight Sun before it was completed, edited and published. I think it is important for everybody to understand that what happened was a huge violation of my rights as an author, not to mention me as a human being. As the author of the Twilight Saga, I control the copyright and it is up to the owner of the copyright to decide when the books should be made public; this is the same for musicians and filmmakers. Just because someone buys a book or movie or song, or gets a download off the Internet, doesn't mean that they own the right to reproduce and distribute it. Unfortunately, with the Internet, it is easy for people to obtain and share items that do not legally belong to them. No matter how this is done, it is still dishonest. This has been a very upsetting experience for me, but I hope it will at least leave my fans with a better understanding of copyright and the importance of artistic control.

So where does this leave Midnight Sun? My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. Writing isn't like math; in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way you feel changes everything. If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn't dovetail too well with the original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely.

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 message on the Midnight Sun page). 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.

I do want to take a moment and thank the wonderful fans who have been so supportive of me over the past three years. I cannot begin to tell you how much each of you means to me. I only hope this note will stop all the confusion and online speculation so that the Twilight universe can once again become the happy escape it used to be. After this incredibly busy year, I am now focusing on spending more time with my family and working on some other writing projects.

"Bella, I've already expended a great deal of personal effort at this point to keep you alive.

"Drunk?" I objected.
"You're intoxicated by my very presence." He was grinning that playfulI grin
"I can't argue with that," I sighed.

"Bella?" His voice was alarmed as he caught me and held me up.

"Just prattle on about somethng unimportant until i calm down," he clarified, closing his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger.

10. Twilight - page 148:
"You're always crabbier when your eyes are black -- I expect it then," I went on. ! I have a theory about that."
His eyes narrowed. "More theories?"
"Mm-hm." I cheved on a small bite of the bread, trying to look indifferent.
"I hope you were more creative this time... or are you still stealing from Comic books"

11. Twilight - page 191/192:
'And then, as the room went black, I was suddenly hyper aware that Edward was sitting less than an inch from me. I was stunned by the unexpected electricity that flowed through me, amazed that it was possible to be more aware of him than i already was. A crazy impulse to reach over and touch him, to stroke his perfect face just once in the darkness, nearly over-whelmed me. I crossed my arms tightly across my chest, my hands balling into fists. I was losing my mind.

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb..." He murmured. I looked away, hiding my eyes as i thrilled to the word.
"What a stupid lamb."
"What a sick, masochistic lion." He stared into the shadowy forest for a long moment, and I wondered where his thoughts had taken him.

15. Twilight - Page 262:
"Did I do something wrong?"
"No -- the opposite. You're driving me crazy," I explained.
He considered that breifly, and when he spole, he sounded pleased.
"Really?" A triumphant smile lit his face. << (( AWH. I just like it when he smiles. ))

16. Twilight - Page 273:
"Oh!" I sat up so fast it made my head spin.
"Your hair looks like a haystack... but I like it." His unruffled voice came from the rocking chair in the corner.

"Shall i rephrase?" he asked. "Breakfast time for the human."
