It had an exciting adventure, but also sad at the same time, the death of Haga's family, the death of Ambaral, etc. but i really did like it, i would be really surprised if there is a part 2 to this book.

I'm glad at least one of the copies that got sent over to WFC went into appreciative hands :-) As for having the book available in the US, that's certainly something I'm very keen on, and it basically means getting US publisher for it. I sold my international rights to my Australian publisher, but they are due to revert to me soon and then I'll be able to look for a US publisher myself. Check the website for (admittedly infrequent) updates. cheers, Grace Hi Virginia,

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the book so much, and I really understand what you've said about the ending. At the moment I'm struggling with my next book, and it's always motivating to get some praise :-) I'm afraid it will be a little while before it'll be on the shelves, I've got quite a bit more work to do. Best of luck with your own writing. best wishes, Grace Hi Tara,

I just wanted to thank you for writing such a fantastic novel, and inspiring my own stories and poems. Although i was disappointed to learn that you will not be writing a sequel i can see why you wouldn't want too. The Silver Road was such a fantastic novel that it would be pointless to risk ruining the original. I liked the ending and although Haga and Zuvren didn't end up staying together, it make things more realistic because no one can go through a struggle like Zuvren's and come out willing to accept another person into their life fully and completely. However if you do write a sequel you can count on me reading it, because that's what i do, I read and i love it. Thank You for writing The Silver Road and i look forward to reading your next novel. Tara Hi Grace,

It’s wonderful! Is there anything we can do to help it get more widely distributed in the USA? Thank you so much for sharing this story. I thought the ending was absolutely perfect. Again, thanks, - Virginia Hi,

Sorry to disappoint you, but you'll have to imagine for yourself what happens to the characters after the close of the book. I have to admit I haven't really thought about it much, I only have a few vague ideas and I don't want to ruin it for anyone. cheers, Grace Hi Caitlin,

I've thought about writing an epilogue, or a short story which follows up with the characters a bit further on, but I haven't had any good ideas for it. Maybe it will come to me one day. Until then, you'll have to make it up yourself :-) cheers, Grace Hi Marlie,

In terms of the setting, mostly I tried to make it not an identifiable setting from history. I've read some fantasy books where it's just like Spain in the 1400s or just like feudal Japan, and I really didn't want that. A lot of it just grew along with the story (ie. I made it up as I went along). I'd rather not say what I think will happen to the characters. I only have vague ideas anyway. Your guess is as good as mine. I'm afraid The Motherland Garden won't be published for a good while yet as I actually haven't finished it. I've been on a bit of a break for a number of reasons and now I'm finally getting some work done. Wish me luck. As for a plot summary, I hate writing them, but someone asked for one in an email interview, so I've got to do it. I'll post it here as well. cheers, Grace Hi Rebecca,
