YA Indie Carnival ~ Songs That Inspire Stories in My Head

Music is one of those things that really gets the creative wheels turning for me. Scenes in my head come to life. Bands that really conjure stories in my head are: 30 Seconds to Mars, Black Lab, Andrew Belle, Parachute, and Snow Patrol.

I just found this one, and had to add it to my post. Close your eyes and listen. I see Ethan and Danielle together and kissing...or whatever...just as long as it's sappy. LOL



With Open Your Eyes, by Andrew Belle, I see the romantic parts of the story, as well as the sad...I see Ethan and Danielle waltzing...



When I listen to Weightless by Black Lab, I see Tessa and Christian from Fair Maiden...



Until next time....And as always, take a moment to check out my other carni friends at YA Indie Carnival.

Sweet Saturday Samples ~ Forever, Book 3

Welcome to Sweet Saturday Samples! Please enjoy this clip from Forever, Book 3 in the Fateful series.

Told from Danielle's point of view...

She saw why as they backed toward the bed again. Pieces of wood dug into her bare feet with each painful step. Spinning away, they both dove onto the bed as a werewolf flew at the glass and crashed through it. Worse than hearing a car crash, the sound of breaking glass was followed by vicious snarls and shouts. Driven by a crazy need to see what was going on, Danielle lowered the hands she’d tossed over her face, and craned another look over her shoulder. Even obscured by the hair that had fallen over her face,  she could see the beast had landed in their bedroom, its knees bending with the impact before straightening, its spine uncurling as it rose upright. It shook like a dog trying to dry itself. Danielle threw an arm over her face again. Shards of glass showered the room like droplets of rock-solid water, clinking against anything hard it hit. Danielle felt a few pieces hit her, but it seemed they didn’t hit hard enough to do more damage than a few minor abrasions.
