Playlist for EMBRACE:

It’s great to be here! I love music, although I have to admit I don’t listen to music while I write. I tend to start singing along with the songs instead of increasing my word count. I’ve always found it funny that I can block out the TV better than I can the radio. Below are the songs that I’d include on a CD if Embrace came with one. I hear them whenever I reach specific scenes in the novel. They’re also songs Madison loves.

Embrace Playlist (Click here to listen to songs)

1         Crash into Me by Dave Matthews Band

2         Get Some by Lykke Li

3         Friends and Family by Trik Turner 

4         Is This Real? By Lisa Hall 

5         Far Behind by Candle Box 

6         Fallin’ by Alicia Keys

7         Glycerine by Bush

8         Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson

9         You Found Me by The Fray 

10     Silent Lucidity by Queensryche 

11     Higher by Creed

Each of these songs has an important place in the novel, but three of them had always come to mind, even in the early drafts.

Crash into Me is a favorite of mine. It takes me back to when my husband and I first started dating. He’d sing along with such passion and he’d give me this sultry gaze that weakened my knees. It’s a gaze Isaac inherited. Isaac plays this song the first time he’s alone with Madison.

You Found Me does a wonderful job of encompassing Madison’s feeling of being lost. One of the things I really like about her is that she’s not afraid to lean on her friends. This song can easily related to how much she needs Kaylee and Josh, how Kevin is willing to be there for her no matter what, and how Isaac will find Madison no matter how lost she becomes.

Like Scott Stapp in the song Higher, Madison is willing to let Isaac and her friends help her escape to a new world, one you can’t see through normal eyes.

It’d like to thank my host for having me on her blog today!

Embrace: Madison is familiar enough with change, and she hates everything about it. Change took her long-term boyfriend away from her. It caused one of her friends to suddenly hate her. It’s responsible for the death of a local along with a host of other mysterious happenings. But when Madison meets a hot new guy, she thinks her luck is about to improve.

Madison is instantly drawn to the handsome and intriguing Isaac Addington. She quickly realizes he’s a guy harboring a secret, but she’s willing to risk the unknown to be with him.

Her world really spins out of control, however, when her best friend becomes delusional, seeing things that aren’t there and desperately trying to escape their evil. When the doctors can’t find the answers, Madison seeks her own.

Nothing can prepare her for what she is about to discover.
   
Dangerous, intoxicating, and darkly romantic, Embrace is a thriller that will leave you spellbound.
