There’s nothing I can keep with me that will stay.
I must always re-establish ties.
I must tread carefulle or give myself away.
I must survive.
I must keep moving, but I don’t know why.”

Hello, Rebecca! Thank you for contacting me! Congratulations on your books! Happy reading, writing, and everything else. Have a good new week ahead! Blessings!Best wishes from Majenta
I honestly cannot wait to read 'Mercy'-- I'm the 3rd reserve for the single book available at the PLC Lib. I knew I recognised the cover from today's assembly presentation SOMEWHERE. It was 49th of my 'To Read' list indicating a desire to read it a few months back. Year 12s' a big year so I'm uncertain as whether I'll even be able to read that many novels this year. Thanks for being an inspiration! :) Would you like to attend this year's House Concerts? Haha.
NOOOO. I can't find MUSE. I know it's out there but am at the Mercy (excuse the pun) of BIG W and Target as our bookstores have all closed down. Why must people by everything online. There is nothing like a great novel in your hands.
Thanks so much for accepting my friend request! I absolutely adored Mercy! Now I just hope Exile, Muse, and Fury are released in the U.S. as well(:
thankyouu for accepting my friend request :) I loved Mercy and i'm going to order Exile soon :) they were amazing!!-Gina :)
Currently reading "Exile", and have to say you've done it again, Rebecca. When I started it I wondered if you would keep my interest as much as with "Mercy", and you have. I was hooked from the first few paragraphs, and find it unputdownable. Now I will have to read the other two when they come out.Thanks for great reads.

Hi NatThanks so much for reading "mercy" - so glad you liked it! Exile is on its way. Take care and all best wishes from Oz!
Hi Rebecca, just finished Mercy and I really liked it. Cant wait for the next one!!
