Renee Oh. My. Goodness. Between The Lives is one of the most unique, emotion invoking books I have read in a long time. I can't believe you only took 2 months to write it! Thankyou for such an amazing, thought provoking story, I know it is a standalone but I hope that changes!

PS - For some reason I was suspicious of Lucas from the start... I think he may 'Shift' as well ;)

PPS - The whole way through I was thinking how good this would be as a movie. I hope it catches the right persons eye one day...

Thanks so much! If you are in the US, the reason your library only has the first two is that book 3 only comes out next week! Hopefully it will be in soon (and you'll enjoy it!). Chat soon, Jess

B.C. Doyle Hi Jessica! :)

I read the first to books in the Violet Eden Chapters and fell in love! I mean the characters are beyond well written, and I LOVE the connection between Violet and Lincoln! They are super adorable! It sucks, though, that I have to wait to read the other books in the seires because my library only holds the first two books. It's KILLING me to not know what happens!!!

Soon, hopefully I'll find out. :)

You're an amazing author and I love your books!

Mara Jayne Just casually dying after finishing Endless. I am in the biggest book hangover mode ever! EVERYTHING reminds me of the books! I can't function!! Gahhh!
Please tell me I don't have to wait forever till the next one!

Also, I really hope that they do your television show thing right and don't massacre your beautiful books!

My poor little broken heart :'( Phoenix :'( JUST EVERYTHING! :'( :'(
Thank you for... well just everything!

Shawn Wickersheim Thanks for the friendship. I read and enjoyed Embrace - and have sold quite a few of them in the Indie bookstore where I work. Will have to make sure to bring in Entice now.

Have a great weekend.

Kylie Camilleri Hi Jessica, Just wanted to let you know, I just finished reading Endless (I got the first three book for my Birthday in June and finished them all in a week :) ) Loved Loved Loved Endless :) Didn't want it to finish :) Are you writing anymore in this series? Would love to see Violet go back to Linc, before he gets a new partner :). Have you got anymore other books in the pipeline? Can't get enough of your books and your style of writing, felt like I was living the story along with the characters (a good distraction from my uni course hehehe :)
Thank you so much fr your books :) xxoo

Hi Maria,

Great message, and don't worry - I love a bit of good stalking! Thank you so much for your very kind words, they really are appreciated. I totally understand your thoughts on Endless, it left me pretty drained too!

Maria Dear Jessica

I feel like a stalker. I dont know how many times i have add a comment to your profile but after reading the 4th book I just had to add one more last and then i will pause and sit in the corner... YOU ARE ONE OF MY FAVOURITE AUTHORS LIST E.V.E.R I know it sounds cheesy but i just had to say it out loud...I finished yesterday the Endless which left me totally broken and devastated emotionally...I have no idea how you manage to write it but i was personally crying the last 10 (yes 10!) chapters.. All in all I cant wait for the next book please please (i beg you)hurray up!!!

Much love

Maria

Hi Vicki, Sorry it can be a bit confusing! I was first published in Australia so the books came out there first. In the US only Embrace and Entice have been released. Emblaze and Endless will follow soon! Hope this helps.

Hi Tracey,
As a matter of fact, I am. I have a stand alone novel coming out in the first half of next year and I am uber excited about it. It's still YA but very different from the Violet Eden Chapters and I've had a lot of fun working on it. I'll be letting everyone know a little bit more about it in the coming months. ;-)

Hi, Thank you for the book recommendation I will have to look it up. I love your series (Violet Eden) I love your new cover on Embrace and saw the new cover of Entice. I am waiting for Entice to come out in new cover form. I am waiting and it a hard wait because I know this series is Amazing. I fell in love with the characters especially Phoenix. I am so excited to read the next book. I can't wait to read more. At the moment I am not reading any thing right now. I am waiting for the book Once by Anna Carey from the Eve series. It's a great read, and Once is release on my birthday July 3. So thats kind of Awesome ..LOL... Well have a great week. :) XO
