    I’m not a huge country fan, but sometimes I need to venture over into that world for a minute.

    Such a neat story. Most of her music is pretty encouraging along with her videos. This one just made me smile.

  • S is for Seether and Skillet

    April 21, 2012 /


    Okay, I know you’re getting sick of me posting Skillet.

    But seriously, that band rocks. They’ve been SOOOO influential in the whole Wasteland Trilogy, I just have to play them on the A to Z Music Challenge…

    This is my favorite video. Check out that drummer. How the heck does she sing like that while hammering on those drums?

    Another “S” band that’s showing up on my Wasteland Trilogy playlists is SEETHER. My dear friend Kendall Grey turned me onto this group.

    Check this one out:

    What bands are rocking your iPod??

  • R is for RED

    Ordinary world . . .

    So, this is a remake of the Duran Duran song and I LOVE IT! This video is visually amazing. I love the painting and drawing. My character, Annabelle, in Awaited, is an artist. Her skill comes in pretty handy in the book…but I can’t really tell you how or I’ll give away too much.

    To see the full playlist for Awaited clickHERE.

    Release day is coming fast! Stay tuned for fun release info and author appearances by signing up for my newsletter HERE. Don’t worry, I won’t spam you!

  • P is for Pillar

    April 18, 2012 /


    Had to tap into the #AWAITED playlist today for the A to Z Music Themed blog challenge.

    I’m new to Pillar, but their music is perfect for Awaited (Heck, Wasteland and Tainted, too) because it’s all about fighting the good fight. At least that’s how I interpreted the song!Here are a few lines that stuck out to me:

    Fight this thing until we won.

    Fight to live and live to fight.

    We live our lives on the front lines.

    And in other exciting news……
