Grrrrr!

I hate it when I'm in the shower and think of something really great that one character says to another and by time I finish drying off...the idea has completely left my brain! Then I spend countless minutes trying to remember.

I'll remember as soon as my head hits the pillow tonight.  Hmm...maybe a notepad and pen on nightstand would be a good idea?

Cover Art Work

By the way, I'd be remiss if I didn't give kudos to the talented creator of my book cover!  Amber Olenik did an outstanding job!  Many thanks to her and her patience!  Awesome job, Amber!

Music play list

Yep, I have them!  I gotta listen to certain songs to set my mood when I write.

After Recycled Souls was released I asked by someone what songs I listened to while writing it.  My first response was the Nickleback song, Gotta Be Somebody. Perfect song for the ending of the book! Listen to the words, you'll get my drift!

Here are the others, not necessarily in chronological order of the book and I'll add little notations where I placed these songs in the book.

The Blue Danube-Johann Strauss

All I Want-Staind (Poor Michael! He had a heck of a time winning Jessica over!)

Never Gonna Be Alone-Nickleback (the scene where Jessica is looking out her window thinking about the upcoming holidays without her parents. Michael wraps his arms around her...aww!)

Last Kiss-Pearl Jam (Michael sings along to the song as he and Jessica drive to a restaurant)

Love Hurts-Incubus (Michael is sitting in his car, staking out Jessica's house while Chad is there)

Fallin' For You-Colbie Caillat (when Jessica realizes that she's in love with Michael)

Impossible-Anberlin

Everlong-Foo Fighters

Bring Me to Life-Evanescence

This is just a small sample of the whole list.

I'm interested to know if anyone out there had some songs in mind as they read the book!

Recycled Souls

Recycled Souls is my first novel. It took me almost three years to complete as I agonized over every little aspect! After many rewrites and adjustments I finally felt confident that it was ready for publishing.  I'm happy with the finished product and hope that my readers are too!

If you haven't heard of or read my book, you can go to Amazon and read the first few chapters for free!

I was recently asked if I truly believed in reincarnation. Of course I do! Although we may not come back looking as we did in the past as Jessica and Michael do. I believe that after our physical body is gone our souls continue on, just waiting for the right time to be placed in another body.

This is a much too deep subject to carry on at this early hour.  I do, however, look forward to your comments!
