The bittersweet joy of completion

Back in February, I uploaded the final file for Cloaked, The Taellaneth - Book 5.  The fifth and final book in the series.

It was a peculiar feeling.  I have lived with Arrow for a long time now.  Even when I wasn't actually writing, I was thinking about the stories and what kind of trouble I could get her into, and out of.

Although I was looking forward to getting the book out into the world, it was an odd idea to think that from my next writing session I'll be spending time with other characters.  A few weeks down the line, and my new characters are taking over my life in much the same way as Arrow had done.  So, I've no time to miss her just now.

I can't say too much about Cloaked without giving away spoilers (which I hate), but I'm hugely grateful, as always, to everyone who's taken the time to leave a review or rating for the book.  

Arrow's story is now complete.  At the moment I have no plans to continue writing in this world, or to revisit the characters.  Who knows, though?  Arrow is a tough, compelling character and may draw me back in one day.
