    thanks so much for the add....I just finished Ink Exchange and realized it's the second book in the Wicked Lovely series...haha that one was checked out in the library and when I looked at the 3rd book I'm guessing it messed like the charactors were different. But I'm going to go back and try and start at the beginning. You're books are wonderful.

    So, this is my first moment of freedom that I've had ine past couple of weeks, seeing as how I joined the Navy, due to not having the money for me to attend college, and it feels amazing. I am currently waiting on my best friend to send me a copy of Fragile Eternity -- and I'll admit I'm a bit afraid to read it, for I'm a big pussy when it comes to that -- whom you actually met and hung out with at the writer's convention. She actually wrote a 20 page long letter with details of everything while I was in bootcamp -- she's angel. I was so utterly jealous, it was slightly ridiculous. Anyhoo, I want to say thanks for being who are... when I read about you and listen to you, it amazes, haha, and I'm not too sure why. But as I was in bootcamp I thought about this great story that I'm trying to find the time to work on, about the demons called the Mercy, and how when Lucifer and his followers fell from grace, G
