Her Everything Soundtrack
Music is a
big part of my life. Now don’t get me
wrong, I mean this in a fan-girl type of way.
I couldn’t play a note to save my life.
Still, it inspires me—to write, to relax or, heck, to tackle to dust
bunnies in the bedroom. Whatever! It all depends on the mood and the song.
It probably
influences me most when it comes to writing, though. I get a lot of story ideas from lyrics, or
from the way a beat sets up a situation in my mind. So, I’m not surprised that music plays a huge
role in the lives of my characters in Her
Everything. Mark Travis is the front
man of a rock band, and HOT. Rachel
Turner is the twin sister to a pop star. Further, she’s involved with producing
and writing songs as well. Music is in
their blood, and it made their story that much more fun to write.
Since music
helps me brainstorm, while writing Her Everything I had certain songs in mind
for different parts of the book. I
thought it’d be fun to imagine what songs would make the list if Her Everything had a soundtrack, and
here’s what I came up with:
·
The
one song that started it all – “Jai Ho” by The Pussycat Dolls. Not only is this the song I imagine being
performed in the first chapter, but it actually helped inspire the whole book
in a way. The story idea for Her Everything stemmed from watching an
interview of the Dolls lead singer, Nicole Sherzinger.
·
In
one scene Rachel and Mark are dancing to a slow song. At the time I had recently downloaded “If
Only” by Gin Wigmore. I love the varying
tempo, the raspy voice, and the retro feel to it.
·
Mark
has the name of his first number one single, “Beautiful Ride” tattooed on his
right rib-cage. This is inspired by the
song “Life Ain’t Always Beautiful” by Gary Allan. (Disclosure: I am a HUGE Gary Allan fan –
even have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to him – LOL).
·
In
a scene the morning after their special night provided by Madame Eve, I think
the song “Don’t You Wanna Stay” by Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson, would work
perfectly.
·
And
last but not least, the song I imagine sung at the end of the book is along the
lines of “Faithfully” by Journey—only an acoustic version.
There you
have it, the Her Everything
soundtrack. I hope maybe I introduced
you to a new song or two, I know for me I’m always looking for new songs to
listen to!
Here’s a
little bit about Her Everything, my
newest contribution to Decadent Publishing’s 1Night Stand series:
Blurb:
Rachel Turner made a mistake—a
couple, in fact. Ruining a surprise
meeting with
Attending an event to
support a charity close to his heart, Mark Travis wasn’t looking for love, or
even company—and definitely not with a fan.
But when he puts in a hasty bid at a silent auction and wins the
services of 1Night Stand, Madame Eve has something different in mind. A single evening with a woman she claims can
fulfill his needs. But one night might
not be enough.
Come
morning, will Mark and Rachel’s unexpected one-night stand give them more than
they bargained for?
