Rebecca's Write Inspirations

Welcome, Fellow Rebel. Even as we speak, I'm enjoying a cherry Jolly Rancher and listening to some German music. A friend of mine introduced me to a German rock band, AnnenMayKantereit , that his brother listened to while taking language classes through school. I have to say, I'm really loving them. How nice is it when you can appreciate other people and artistic endeavors even when you can't understand everything they're saying. I mean, I looked up the lyrics and the translation of said lyrics, and I have to say, hearing this song in its original version is perfection.

Hey, Readers!  Thanks for sticking with me throughout my writing journey! I really appreciate your support, reviews, emails, and social media shares. You've all been wonderful, and I want to thank you for continuing with me as I create a whole new series.  The Battle has been a passionate and inspiring story for me to tell, and I've been working with some of the very best alpha and beta readers to make it the greatest story I can. Their feedback has been invaluable, and I've loved sharing a story so close to my heart with such avid readers. I can't wait to share some sneak peek chapters with all of you, and right now, I'm excited to share the first mock-up cover for The Four Chronicles: The Battle .  What do you think? A world war, a dangerous mystery, and a fairytale love. A world war isn't meant to stop true love.  A dangerous mystery might destroy lives and take the war to a whole new, devastating level.  A fairytale love could die o...
