I’ve been working on the Heart of Fame series now since 2011. Love’s Rhythm was the first book in the series. When I first met Nick Blackthorne in Tropical Sin I had no idea what lay ahead of me, the journey he would take me on. But here I am, hard at work on the sixth book in the series (Books One and Two have already been released, Book Three – Guarded Desires – releases on the 16th of this month) and it doesn’t look like it’s slowing down any time soon (this morning I woke with a plot bunny for the ninth book in the series, about a famous, playboy professional soccer star and the woman who finally sends him to the sin bin *grin*).
This whole series looks at fame and the impact it has on romance, desire and ultimately, Happy-Ever-Afters. It also spends quite a lot of time in the world of rock and roll (thanks, Nick *grin*). And like every book I write, music greatly influences my muse.
Today, I thought I’d share a few songs from the ongoing (and ever growing) Heart of Fame playlist. Click on the songs to hear just what I’m listening to as I write…and what I’ve been listening to since late 2011 when Nick first demanded I write his own book.
Enjoy…
Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through ~ Meatloaf
Lifestyle of the Rich and the Famous ~ Good Charlotte
So, what’s your favourite on that list? Any songs you think I need to add to my list for future books?

I love a good playlist. Fun had several songs on the playlist for my last book. For my current work in progress I’ve gone deep country. The Pistol Annies are a favorite as well as Jerry Douglas. And for when my heroine is feeling a bit feisty? Bad Reputation by Joan Jett. Oh yeah.

Couldn’t be any better than Rollin in the Deep by Adele. She is totally awesome. And anything Bon Jovi makes me smile. Great selections!!
