Synopsis:
*Drowning is a New Adult Contemporary Romance suited for 18+ due to some violence, language, and sexual content*
“I dare you.”
Those words would change adrenaline junkie, Alice Harrison’s life forever. She’s a party girl that doesn’t believe in love until she meets a man that only writes about it.
Seth James escaped his overbearing father and moved into one of the James family’s vacant condos, hoping to create the music he loves in peace. But the fragile calm he’s envisioned shatters when a tiny woman with a world full of energy bounces out of the elevator and nearly takes him out.
With the patience of a saint, Seth seeks the dark that keeps Alice from enjoying life. He challenges her to exorcise the demons in her past in order to discover the true meaning of love. But when the walls fall down, the hidden deceptions will bare the ugly truth about a woman drowning in sorrow and a man who may not know how to be her hero.

Writing
to Music
Hi everyone! Thank you for having me on the
blog today and letting me share a little about my writing process.
I think most creative minds enjoy music, so
it’s not a big surprise to hear that “another” author wrote a book to a song…or
a group of songs. Here’s a link to my Drowning playlist if you’d like to hear
the inspiration to the words.
There’s one song that really hit home for
this book. Apex
Predator by Otep. Wow, what a powerful piece. It’s twisted and dark and
scary. During a scene with Alice and her father, I listened to this song on
repeat. It’s definitely the perfect mood setter for some of the darker parts in
this novel.
And when I really needed to pull myself out
of the evil that underlies the base of my plot, I turned to Volbeat
for their Cape of the Hero to remind me that there would be a HEA. Seth is
what I consider a normal hero. He doesn’t have super hero powers. He’s not good
with guns or knives. But like the father in the video, he wants to be there for
Alice, even when he’s physically not.
And Pink’s,
Just Give Me a Reason is the perfect balance for Seth and Alice’s love
story. He’s pretty straight forward about his interest, but she’s always in her
head. It’ll take a lot of patience and a lot of love to get them past her pain.
But he knows she’s worth it, and he has to try.
So…that’s just a few songs on my playlist
that I loved to use while writing this book. I’d love to find out your favorite
song…or one that inspires you in life. So, for a chance to win an eCopy of
Drowning, name your “go-to” song.
Oh, and thanks for stopping in today! J
