I get asked a lot about what music I listen to when I’m writing. The truth is that I don’t.

Music is very important to me, all kinds of music. But I have one of those brains that automatically starts memorizing the lyrics or rhythm or melody to any song it hears. That’s too distracting when I’m trying to write, since I need to disappear into my story in order to do it justice.

But that’s not to say that music doesn’t affect my writing. It absolutely does. Sometimes when I’m writing a particular scene, I can hear a song playing in the background. Or I’ll hear a song by one of my favorite artists and the emotion it inspires brings to mind a scene that I just have to write and incorporate into the book I’m writing, or maybe the next one.

So, here are a few songs that have inspired me emotionally when writing certain scenes. In some cases, I’ve indicated the specific scene or book.

Desperado (Linda Ronstadt) (should be Raphael’s theme song when we meet him)

It Doesn’t Matter (Alison Krauss & Union Station) (Raphael – Cyn’s theme song!)

Someone Like You (Rod Stewart) (Jabril – but it’s Cyn’s song)

Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye (The Casinos) (Raj and Sarah’s wedding dance - Vignette)

Iridescent (Linkin Park) (Duncan – Emma at the funeral)

I’ve Been Loving You Too Long  (Otis Redding)  (Betrayed)

Love Don’t Die (The Fray)  (Vincent  - end of the final fight sequence)

 (These are among the songs on my action/fight scene playlist – the only time I sometimes listen to music as I write)

Nothing Else Matters (Metallica)

Radioactive (Imagine Dragons)

Castle of Glass (Linkin Park)

Burn It Down (Linkin Park)

Blurb:

Sinaloa, Mexico . . . haunting deserts, hot nights, and vampires, who’ve been there for hundreds of years, watching from the shadows, playing their games, manipulating humans, and surviving at any cost.

Vincent Kuxim, powerful and charismatic, was made vampire by an ambitious leader looking for soldiers to pave his way to the rule of all Mexico. But more than a century later, Vincent’s Sire is looking over his shoulder as Vincent closes in for the kill, ready to claim the title Lord of Mexico for himself.

Lana Arnold is a bounty hunter, smart, beautiful, and determined to chart her own future. So when the most powerful vampire lord in all of North America enlists her help in tracking down a very old and elusive bloodsucker, Lana sees nothing but opportunity. 

There’s only one catch. The client wants her to take Vincent—a vampire she neither knows nor trusts—along on her hunt. Then again, maybe it’s herself she doesn’t trust, because Vincent Kuxim is sex walking in a pair of tight black jeans.

Thrown together by circumstance, Vincent and Lana soon find themselves battling an evil they didn’t know existed in a fight that makes Vincent all the more determined to destroy his Sire, seize Mexico for himself . . . and keep Lana by his side forever.
