I know, I know. This post probably should have gone up sometime in December, but since I didn’t return to blogging until last week, I’m technically ‘on time.’ (not really, but that’s what I’m telling myself to keep from feeling bad, ha-ha). Here are my TOP picks from 2015, along with each book’s blurb and cover from Goodreads, and my personal star rating. Me Before You by Jojo Moyes Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps […]

Today’s song was chosen because it’s on the soundtrack to the new WIP I’m working on… Where the sexy hero is from a magical realm of The Seven Kingdoms. I can’t tell you how many times I listened to this song while writing the inciting incident and first plot point. I just love it that much. 🙂 Enjoy!

Yes, I’ve been absent for quite a while. But I have a really great excuse. And I’m returning with music. 😉 I won MCRW’s Melody of Love Contest in the Paranormal category, and with that win I received a FULL manuscript request from an editor. SQUEE! So now I’m on an oh so damn tight deadline. So I’ll most likely continue to be in and out online for another few weeks. So…now for the song of the week. 🙂 Enjoy! […]

Since there isn’t an official video just yet, we get animated dogs, and somehow that just make the song even more powerful. Related posts: Tine-In Tuesday: The 2nd Law–Isolated System Tune-In Tuesday: Hail to the King Tune-In Tuesday: Demons by Imagine Dragons Tune-In Tuesday: Follow Me by Muse

Happy Tuesday! The American Music Awards were this past Sunday night, and Katy Perry had the honor of opening the show with her new single, Unconditionally. The set, the dancers, the lyrics, her voice … all of it was fantastically top notch. LOVE Kady, and every time I see her perform, she gives me hope and leaves me looking forward to what she’ll do next. And this video? Amazing. 😉 Enjoy!

Welcome back to Tune-In Tuesday! I’m just now realizing how long it’s been since I’ve posted. *head desk* When the muse hits and demands you edit, edit, edit one project and write, write, write another project, you listen. And sometimes when we listen and obey we get so caught up in that work that everything else falls through the cracks. Agree? Cool. Now onto today’s music. 😉 I’ve been loving on the band Imagine Dragons lately. As in, I’m listening […]

We’re taking it back this week on Tune-In Tuesday to an old favorite by Boston: Peace of Mind. The good thing about writing playlists is you can have such a variety of music–from Boston to Thirty Seconds to Mars, from The Beatles to Muse, from Madonna to Evanescence. I, for one, really enjoy the good vibes and inability to sit still when bands such as Boston, AC/DC, and Foreigner come on the radio. Enjoy! What about you? Are there any […]

Welcome back to another installment of Tune-In Tuesday! This week, we’re visited the world of my current work-in-progress, RETRIBUTION, with a song from Muse called “Isolated System”. For those of us who’ve seen the movie World War Z, this song is going to sound eerily familiar. This song is not only the opening music for the zombie-flick, but it played throughout the film, mostly during transitional scenes. Enjoy Related posts: Tune-In Tuesday: Peace of Mind Tune-In Tuesday: Follow Me by […]

Welcome to a new installment of Tune-In Tuesday! This week’s song is the title track to the new album from Avenged Sevenfold (A7X)–“Hail to the King”. When I first heard this tune, I automatically thought about J.R. Ward’s BDB series. I mean, come on, the next book due out in this series is, “The King”. BUT… I then thought about my current WIP–you know, the one I’m sloooowly revising and editing but will have completely polished and ready for submission […]
