Announcing the release of Ever My Merlin and the Soundtrack
First (yay!), I’m happy to announce the release of Ever My
Merlin on Barnes & Noble, and through other retailers. For those of you
who’ve asked about the paperback (double yay!), it should be out in the next
month.
Okay, now for something fun.
Confession time: I AM a soundtrack junkie. I obsess over movie
soundtracks. I love it when authors list
it with their books. I might make faces
(or slight gagging sounds) at some of the soundtrack choices but for me
it’s still interesting to see suggestions of the mood of the story.
I have a soundtrack for all three of the My Merlin
books. Don’t worry I won’t list each and every song. It’s on my iTunes playlist
(As soon as I can get Ping to work, I will post it!). Below I’m listing some
major sequences and the theme songs. I hope you enjoy it!
My Boyfriend Merlin
Theme song: Secrets by One Republic.
Why? This one was brought to me via a reader and I thought
it was absolutely perfect for Matt and the whole book.
My Merlin Awakening
Theme song: Down by Jason Walker
Why? The struggle in this song mirrors the emotions in the
book.
Ever My Merlin
Blower’s Daughter
by Scala & Kolacny Brothers. This one is Ryan’s theme song. Why? A
beautiful song about looking back, looking ahead, and seeing the hidden truths

OMG!!! Yayyy!!! I'm excited!!! I LOVE the soundtracks! There's several songs I haven't heard so I'll be excited to go online later tonight and listen to some of them.
ReplyDeleteDid I really win the giveaway for an e-book?!?!!? I hope your email didn't go into my junk folder!!! Eeeek!! :(
Lol, another soundtrack junkie. Yay!!! Let me know which ones you liked... Yes! You won the ebook. I just sent you the email so maybe you haven't seen it? Otherwise just drop me an email through my contact form -- which ebook (Ha, I know you've read 1&2), and which format...
DeleteI agree with all the songs I've heard of and I got around to listening to Down by Walker. It absolutely fits; I kept running through MMA in my mind! Song suggestion though---for the love triangle part of the book (Ryan, Matt; Ryan, Vane) I was thinking Cryin' by Aerosmith. To back it up before she met Matt, after Morgan, she didn't want to date and then she dated him. When she Vane told her that they couldn't be together because she was a descendant of Apollo, it hurt to point that she ended up turning to Vane. And we all know how that turns out in the second book. The rest of the song explains Ryan and Vane. I have to say I'm a big Aerosmith fan. :D
ReplyDeleteI love it! (The song and your explanation). Okay, though, now I'm picturing Ryan as Megan Fox for some reason? I think she would have made an excellent Aerosmith video-girl. Miss those! It's weird... I randomly watched Armageddon while writing Ever and it gave me goosebumps-- the ultimate movie homage to Aerosmith (Lol.)
