Well done Tabitha....you are doing amazing things with your writing and are working on the 'demons'. I look forward to more of your work...truly inspirational.

I wrote this poem 'In the Hours' and mailed it to Tabitha, she asked me to post it here so I will do. It is about my love of the night time. My friends ask if it is happy or sad but really it is both, I was depressed but praising the night because I couldn't bear the daytime.

'In the Hours'

Silence, it is the greatest sound
It is comfort to me alone
A blanket of quiet within which to heal
May the skies now be held
And all that is day cease

Oh worthy hour hold me
Solitude, I am blessed
Emptiness of sound soaks into the night
Who is to watch at this time?

…And so to whom must I answer?

Here in the night, encapsulated for brief sanctum
In the absence of light
I am blind to the wrongs that trouble better eyes

Oh worthy hour hold me
Only my eyes consider me
Free to be who I was born to be
Lonely peace in the dark
The only peace that will ever relieve me and return

No sleeping soul can hurt me
Until the coming of the wretched dawn
A starry clarity touches me
Tonight, things are as they should be
As the grief of the day is in slumber,
I remain awake

The moon may be a great monument
Beheld in a dancing magic sky
But I care not one bit
My mind is free, the greatest gift

Oh worthy hour hold me
I beg you do not sentence me to day
I am condemned by the rising
Sun, but I committed no sinful
Act yet onward marches time
Unrelenting.
So I savour you now before the hells of life awake
Capture me now…

…Oh worthy hour hold me.

I want to say that you have become one of the best authors I have had the pleasure of coming across within the last few years. I've read all 4 of your published books and must say that as I was reading 'A Voice in the Distance', it evoked emotions in me so strong that I cried twice, thinking about someone so inspirational who died and how much your writing reminded me of him. I truly love your work and even though 'Without Looking Back' is aimed at a younger readership I was still moved at it by the end when I finished reading it yesterday. I hope to continue reading your future works and I believe your books deserve a heck of a lot more recognition. What you need is a Suzuma Street Team consisting of teens like myself promoting your work! It really does help to have a friend, aka book to 'confide' your feelings in, so to speak; to be able own up to your emotions. So really, what i want to say is, thank you. Thank you so much for providing the literature I will remember for time to come. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I hope.

So far I've read the books 'From Where I Stand', 'A Note of Nadness' and 'A Voice in the Distance'. They are totally inspirational and it's like I'm in the story witnessing everything. I keep going back and reading them over and over again. I can relate to Jennah and reading about how she handles things is really helpful! Can't wait to read your next book.

I read your book A Note of Madness and its sequel A Voice in the Distance. I'm bipolar and it just made me feel like I wasn't the only one out there who felt that way.
Also I want to be a writer, I'm in college at the moment, do you have any advice?
And finally thank you, thank you so much.

I'd just like to say that your books are truly inspirational. They've taught me to cherish my life, no matter how bad it may get.

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I'm just writing to say that l love 'A Voice in the Distance'. This book and 'A Note of Madness' are helping me escape reality for awhile which I very much need at the moment.

I have yet to read 'From Where I Stand' and cant wait. If its anything like the series 'A Note of Madness' I know I'm going to fall in love with it.

I would have to say that my fave character is Flynn because at the moment I can relate to him quite well.

I imagine at the end of 'A Voice in the Distance' that Jennah travels to Paris and Flynn secretly goes to her first big concert and Jennah runs into Flynn and they get back together...(I can dream, cant I?)

Anyway I would highly recommend Tabitha's books to all who wish to escape reality for a bit and all who just love to read. Also, to all who like looking at two sides of a story (as you get to in 'A Voice in the Distance').

Once again I would love to thank Tabitha for this wonderful story which I drive my friends mad with regular updates on.

Cant wait to read more of your work.

Hi Tabitha, just wanted to say keep up all your good work. It sounds like you're having a really rough time at the moment but just remember that we are all behind you, and supporting you all the way!! I have loved reading all your books so far, and look forward to the many more that I'm sure will come xx

Hey this is a song I wrote from Flynn's point of view:

LETTING GO

There has been a lot of good times
There has been a lot of bad
But you’d stay with me
And that’s what makes me sad

I see it in your face
I see it in your smile
It's been there the whole time
It's been there a while

You said you love me
And I know that it's true
But I'm letting go
Letting go of you

When you lose yourself
You can lose everything
I wish we could go back to
When it was me and you

Do you remember music camp
And busking in the street
It was me and you
Katie and Harry too

Can't we just start again
But that question I knew
x2

You said you love me
And I know that its true
But I'm letting go
Letting go of you

Your wavy brown hair
Comes down your shoulders
You will grow older
And forget me

But I will always have you
As a memory
x2

You said you love me
And I know that it's true
But I'm letting go
Letting go of you

I know I scared you
At Christmas
But it wasn’t me it was
The depression

But now I know what pain
You’ve been through
That’s why I'm setting
You free
x2

You said you love me
And I know that it's true
But I'm letting go
Letting go of you

Your singing is like an angel's chorus
On my own doesn’t sound the same
Without you singing it
Oh how I miss your voice and every thing that touched your lips

You said you love me
And I know that it's true
But I'm letting go
Letting go of you

I wish I’d paid
more attention
To you and me and
Our connection

You said you love me
And I love you too
But it's too much to take
Seeing that frown on your face

I head towards the station
I expect you to shout my name
But no call comes
I turn round and see you laughing
I overhear you're moving to Paris
I’ll never see you again
Oh how I’ll miss your smile
Don’t you remember I skipped my own party
To take you to Hyde park

You said you love me
And I know that it's true
But I'm letting go
Letting go of you

But now all I hear is your voice
All I hear is your voice
Your singing echoes through my head
Like a voice from far away
Your voice from a distance
From a distance

You said you love me
And I love you too
But I'm letting go
Letting go of you

Hello Tabitha and fellow fans, I thought that I would post a poem I wrote from the perspective of Flynn. No other character that I've ever read about can I relate to so much, as I too have Bipolar Disorder.

FLYNN LAUKONEN

From afar I listen to my angel
The angel I love who once loved me back
We were driven apart, I wish we weren’t
But my lies hurt her with hateful attack
She’ll never come back but my love won’t die
In a world of darkness she brings me light
Her voice opens wide the gates of heaven
The golden song reaches me in the night
Every note makes me want to kiss her lips
But reminds me that she’s happy alone
I want her to be at peace without me
Although I can’t bear to be on my own
From a distance I can see her smiling
It fills me with joy but my eyes still sting
So forever I’ll just sit and listen,
Listen to my love as she starts to sing

Hi Tabitha, I wanted to say your books are amazing, I feel like I'm right inside the characters minds when Im reading them. Also they are so real cos I had depression and I felt exactly like Flynn and Raven lots of times. My favorite character is Flynn and my favorite book is 'A voice in the distance' even though its so sad. I cant wait to read 'Without looking back' it looks cool. Thanks for writng these great books.
