It’s #MusicMonday (and release day for Corrupt Desires) so I obviously need something energetic enough to keep me functioning since I was up into the wee hours prepping for today with posts and takeover pre-work and blahblahblah. This song has the most fun electronica elements, but Thief also has great vocals that remind me of Jarryd James (another fave of… Read More

Alright, lovelies, I have been freaking killing it with ‘Corrupt Desires’ which is releasing on July 9th (watch for the cover reveal tomorrow!), and I am so close to tying a bow on it and sending out ARCs… but getting there has meant lots of sleepless nights. So, for #MusicMonday today I needed something with high energy that always had me do… Read More

It’s #MusicMonday and I am now at two weeks in a row, yaaassss! Today’s song is ‘Broken’ by Lund and it’s definitely less… peppy, than some of the other songs, but I just love it soooooo much. It’s perfect for when you’re just stressed to the max (not that I’ve felt that in recent months) and just need some music… Read More

Sheesh, life has been too hectic and I completely got out of the habit of doing #MusicMonday which sucks because I have so many freaking songs to share with you guys! This song ‘Space’ by Ally Hills tells such a great story, and I love her voice and the beat to the song that just keeps it so energized. I also end… Read More

Today’s #MusicMonday is a fun one, lovelies! In honor of the release of the ‘When the Dark Wins’ boxset, I am sharing this song that just makes me shiver in all the right ways… because it’s fucking hot and a bit twisted. I do hope you’ll enjoy it, because it’s been on my playlist for a bit. Anyway, I’m on… Read More

Look at that, the first #MusicMonday since chaos stormed my life hardcore. This song, “Asking for a Friend” by Annabel Jones, stumbled upon me during the insanity and it struck me because it seemed to ring so true to me in that state (after you read the lyrics you won’t be surprised why). Not to mention it’s beautiful, and just… Read More

Hey lovelies, it’s #MusicMonday and I’m trying to pick myself up off the floor and keep moving forward. I spent all weekend making the paperbacks beautiful for The Thalia Series re-release, and I can’t wait to touch them and take pictures and share them with you all! Especially the GIGANTIC boxset, which is over 730 pages. Today I’ve got a… Read More

I know #MusicMonday is really late today guys, but work is still killing me and leaving me zero time to do anything but… well, work. So, I’m sorry this one is late but it’s a really good song. It’s “God of a Girl” by Georgi Kay, and just the opening lyrics should grab you as much as they did me…. Read More

Honestly, I had to double-check that I hadn’t already used ‘This Life’ by Josef Salvat on a previous #MusicMonday because this song has been on my writing playlist forever. But, apparently, I have not which means you all definitely need to hear it. In general I just LOVE Josef Salvat’s voice, and music, but this is one that just always… Read More

It’s #MusicMonday and I have one of my favorite artists ever on for it. Halsey’s ‘Young God’ is amazing (as is everything on the BADLANDS album, which I am known to loop in its entirety for days on end). There’s just something about her incredible voice, and the awesome music / lyrics that she always has, that make me an… Read More

It’s #MusicMonday and I know this one is really late guys, but my kiddo kept me up all night sick, and she has pneumonia and my brain is fried. Still, I seriously love this song, and it’s so badass! ‘Ordinary Life’ by Wild Wild Horses has great energy, awesome lyrics, and it’s a song I love. Better late than never,… Read More

It’s #MusicMonday and I am excited to share this one because I am such a fan of “Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails, and when I heard this cover by Of Verona I immediately fell in love. They took the raw/grunge feel of the original, with the tweaks made by Johnny Cash’s cover in 2002, and made it sound sweet and… Read More

It’s funny that today’s #MusicMonday is ‘Monster’ by Aaron Richards, because it really just happened to be the next song on my playlist, but since it’s coming out just after ‘Imperfect Monster’ it seems like destiny. Although, this is a very soothing, soft song, and I love the vocals, it’s really the lyrics that make it so damn perfect for… Read More

Today’s #MusicMonday is a remix of ‘Havana’ by Camila Cabello and Daddy Yankee and it’s the first song on the writing playlist for ‘Imperfect Monster’ which goes live on SATURDAY! We’re so close to this delicious dark romance, and I can’t wait for you all to meet Andre and Nicky in their full glory. The book is set in Miami… Read More

It’s #MusicMonday and I’ve got ‘Waiting’ by Steele, which is a perfect song because I’ve been in full blown chaos mode for over a week now. Working on release stuff for Imperfect Monster, in panic mode trying to finish it (haha!), while also planning and working on the Roulette Redux release in February! #cackles Not to mention the new job… Read More

It’s #MusicMonday and the first day of the New Year! I hope that you’ve looked back on all your wins, and challenges, from 2017 and that you’re not looking forward to 2018 with hopes and goals. I know that I am, lovelies! Today’s song is ‘Strange Enough’ by VÉRITÉ, and I think it’s a great song to kick off the… Read More

First of all, Merry Christmas, lovelies to all of you who celebrate! I know many of you may not get the chance to see this until after all of the festivities, but I wanted to give you a fun one for today. Today’s #MusicMonday is ‘Free Animal’ by Foreign Air. I love this one because it’s so lively and this… Read More

Okay, lovelies, it’s #MusicMonday and I’m excited to bring you this song that I heard on the trailer for Bright, coming to Netflix this Friday, December 22nd. I am so excited to see it (watch the trailer here) because I love all of the magical / paranormal and this looks like such a creative take on it. And this song… Read More

It’s #MusicMonday and I have the sexiest song for you guys today, it’s “Radio Lust” by The Blancos, and I fell in love with it the moment I heard it last week… and then promptly listened to it 100x. Because, that’s what you do. Seriously, read the lyrics, listen to his voice (like melted chocolate), there’s no video but you… Read More

Yep, it’s #MusicMonday and as fast as this weekend went by I was totally *not* prepared for today to come. I need at least another day of weekend to get my brain on track, but, alas, my day job disagrees with my ideas. Fortunately, I’ve got a really cool song called “The Domino Effect” by Elle Vee for you today. The song… Read More

It’s #MusicMonday and for us in the USA it’s after a holiday weekend, which means that we’re all sluggish and tired and not really interested in being at work. That’s why ‘Animal’ from Baby Eskimo is a great song to listen to because it has a fun, energetic beat and I love the way she sings the lyrics throughout. I… Read More

Today’s #MusicMonday is awesome. It’s a song called ‘Horns’ by Bryce Fox and I’d never heard him before he appeared on my Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify, but I immediately fell in love with this song and listened to it over and over and over. Not only are the lyrics amazing, and the song fucking phenomenal, but Bryce Fox really… Read More

‘Just Beneath the Flames’ by Digital Daggers is one of those songs for #MusicMonday where I paused the second the lyrics came on. I mean, these lyric are *art* and I love this song SO FUCKING MUCH. Her voice is beautiful, but it’s also the mixture of sweet vocals with harder instrumental support that makes the lyrics come to life…. Read More

It’s a new week, lovelies, and that means another #MusicMonday for all of us! Today I’m sharing “The Pounding of Hearts” by Funeral Suits and I love this song because it reminds me so much of my Dangerous Games series (which I will be coming back to soon with Book 2)! Just listen and read through the lyrics and you’ll… Read More

AHHHH! It’s #MusicMonday, lovelies, and my day has been SO FREAKING BUSY at the day job that I’ve had zero chance before now to get this posted, and I have to because I forgot just how much I love this song (so take a few mins and listen, it is fantastic). I only have a second, but I did want… Read More

Music time, lovelies! That’s right, it’s #MusicMonday again and I’ve got “Deeper than the Dark” from Patients which (strangely enough) does not sound like that dark of a song. Still, prostitution and pain and angels singing about suffering are bound to catch my attention. I know, odd, but I still love the lyrics + voice + instrumental combination which almost… Read More

I’m really excited to share today’s song because it’s actually the main song inspiration for a book I’m going to work on… soon? Maybe? Ugh, I’m totally failing on writing lately, but I know I’ll get my head back on straight soon. It’s “You Don’t Get Me High Anymore” by Wakey!Wakey! Not only is their band name awesome, but this… Read More

I’ve got ‘Enough’ from John Parry for all of you lovelies today and I really love the accent in his voice that adds an edge to his otherwise melodic vocals. Also, the lyrics in this speak to me (and I love the video, but I swear I’m not off doing illegal drugs). It’s such a cool video though and they… Read More

SHEESH! Monday is really trying to destroy me today, and so I know this is coming in a little late (and I totally missed Thankful Thursday last week because of my tests) but I am going to do much better this week. *foot stomp* I demand that I do better this week! I will dig myself out of this hole,… Read More

I’ve missed a few weeks of #MusicMonday because my life has been insane, but I’m trying to get back on track. There’s really nothing better to get things going again than a great song from a female artist that has some very cool, dreamlike qualities, and an edge to the song that feels dark and threatening even though the lyrics… Read More

Oh, hell yes! It’s #MusicMonday and I fucking LOVE this song today, it’s called “O.O.A.” by 1st Vows (which I believe stands for object of affection, but I couldn’t find anything that agreed with me) and not only do I love the powerful beat/music, but I love this man’s voice too (especially since he’s singing some badass feminist lyrics that make me… Read More

Today’s #MusicMonday is a little more mellow than usual, a soft and sweet song, but I just love Gabrielle Aplin’s voice in “The Power of Love” and there’s something about it that reminds me more of poetry than song lyrics (although that’s not unusual). This is a song to relax to, the video is lovely as well (scroll down and… Read More

It’s #MusicMonday and I’ve got an AWESOME cover song by Placebo (a band I adore) called ‘Running up that Hill’ (originally by Kate Bush in the 1980’s) and I think you guys are going to dig this one as much as I do! As usual, I love the lyrics to this song, they’re sort of dream-like, but they also tell… Read More

It’s #MusicMonday and hells bells it has been an insane day. I have ‘Lost’ by BLAJK for you, but I’ll give you a quick update on why today’s song is SO LATE. We were without internet in my area of Dallas until around 1:30pm today, which made my day job crazy, and made it impossible to post this song up… Read More

There are some weeks on my Discover Weekly from Spotify when I stumble on a song and it grabs me SO HARD that I can’t help but listen to it over and over and over. I get a little crazy over it, and I’m sure if anyone could hear what’s pumping out of my headphones or my speakers at home… Read More

It’s #MusicMonday and I’ve got ‘Run to You’ by Lacey Sturn, which is a song all about heartbreak. Being left alone, but still caring for the person that’s gone. The lyrics are just perfect, and her voice wanders between sweet and painfully powerful! Love it! As far as my life, the last week was absolutely incredible. ‘Tying the Knot’ (Thalia… Read More

This #MusicMonday is ‘If You Go’ by Caitlyn Scarlett and she deserves to be more well known, because her voice is beautiful, the music is kick ass, and I absolutely love it. I want to see her music video for this, because it would be amazing! I just love it. I do want to thank all of you for the… Read More

Today’s #MusicMonday is rich and beautiful, ‘Muddy Waters’ by LP caught me from the first base tones of the back-up singers. It reminds me of old school southern hymns mixed with this heartbreakingly wonderful female voice (and her voice is all her, no studio, check out the live link at the bottom if you doubt it, SO GOOD). It’s a… Read More

Today’s song is ‘Surrender’ by Varick, and from the first time I heard it was I thrown by the sweetness of his voice and the alternating music from hard and edgy to almost… dreamlike, and then back again. It’s so good, and with a title like ‘Surrender’ how can you not enjoy it? As far as me on this #MusicMonday,… Read More

I’m so glad that Halsey’s ‘Control’ came up on my Music Monday list for this week, because her album has been on constant repeat while I’ve been writing my super secret surprise that should be out soooooon! I can’t wait to reveal it to you guys. This song (and her entire album) is amazing and I just love it SO… Read More

Today’s #MusicMonday is late because I ACTUALLY WROTE this weekend, and I’m 16k words into my next release which is something that all of my long term fans have been looking forward to (I promise). Also, my day at work was crazy and so this was the first moment I had to sit down and share ‘Drift’ by Emily Osment… Read More

Ohhhh, lovelies, I have the HOTTEST song for you guys today, ‘Easy’ by Son Lux. It’s slow and seductive with some very curious lyrics, and the video below is totally NSFW, but filled with BDSM sexiness (hello, shibari! and I didn’t know this until I’d already picked the song, but now I’m even more excited). I’ve had this song on… Read More

This song – ‘Broken Inside’ by Broken Iris – showed up on my Spotify ‘Discover Weekly’ playlist this week and the moment I heard it I knew it had to be the #MusicMonday. Not just because I’ve had a hellacious two weeks, and have been beyond exhausted, but because from the lyrics, to the sound of this man’s voice, to… Read More

It’s #MusicMonday and I’ve been doing dayjob work non-stop since last week (literally, did it all weekend as well and flew to Atlanta yesterday for more work stuff) and so I’ve barely come up for air. The only good news is that whether I’m doing day job work or authory work, I’m always listening to music, and I listened to… Read More

For #MusicMonday today I have to share ‘No One’s Here to Sleep’ by Naughty Boy (and Bastille and others) and it was something I enjoyed when I first heard it, because it’s got this almost wolf howl from the singers throughout the whole song, and then the theme of the song just makes me fall in love with it. Especially… Read More

Okay, lovelies, today’s #MusicMonday is really good, and I have several reasons why. ‘I’ll Be Good’ by Jaymes Young was the first song I’d ever heard by him and I loved it from the first few lines. It was a stop-you-in-motion song and I fell in love with it instantly… and then I knew I wanted it to inspire a character. The… Read More

#MusicMonday is late, but the song also happens to be ‘The Great Shipwreck of Life’ by IAMX which is hilariously appropriate, but it’s because I was partying it up in Atlanta with the lovely ladies from Blushing Books and having the loveliest of times with so many people. IAMX has been on #MusicMonday before and ‘The Great Shipwreck of Life’… Read More

I’m sure just by the title of this song, you know why it’s on #MusicMonday today. Ha! ‘Blindfold’ by Sleeping Wolf is hot and kinky and dark and I love it. It’s a must have on my writing playlist and as you listen (or watch their lyric video below) I think you’ll fall in love with it too. Personally, I’m… Read More

It’s #MusicMonday, lovelies, and we’re back from the hectic Easter weekend and I’m finally back to my normal grind of a day job. No more excitement until the end of the month when I get to run off to Atlanta and hang out with some of my favorite author friends at the Blushing Books event (preceding the Romantic Times RT… Read More
