Not only was Dierks Bentley himself an inspiration for Cole Caldwell in She’s Far From Hollywood (hello – have you seen the man?), but his music also filled my playlist while I was writing it. His newest song Woman, Amen instantly found a home on my romance writer’s playlist. I imagine it as the soundtrack for the final scene in …
I’m adding a bit of a twist to my Music Mondays – I’m imagining which of my books a love song might fit into, and where. When it comes to “There is Love” by Peter, Paul & Mary (yes, I’m going back a few years!), I can imagine this being the song Nora and Asher …

I’ll confess I thought this song (“Yours” by Russell Dickerson) was a lot newer than it really is. As they say in the music business, it was a “sleeper” that quietly climbed the country charts from last June to go number one on Billboard just last month. The lyrics are straight from the heart (“I …
Every once in a while, a love song comes along that just captures EVERYTHING. This new song by Ed Sheeran is not only entitled Perfect, it IS perfect. There’s an entire (second hand love!) romance novel right here, folks. The video is lovely. The song is…perfect. *swoons*
Music Monday is back!!! The holidays, traveling, snowmageddon and all the other distractions are behind us, and I’m getting back into my routine. And today’s special love song is…Today by Brad Paisley (one of my favorite artists). It’s a song that reminds us to hold on to the special moments in our lives, and it …
‘Tis the season for family, friends, parties, decorations, shopping, worrying about how you’re going to pay for everything, standing in line at the post office, wondering who you’ve forgotten to buy something for, not getting enough sleep, keeping the dog from knocking the tree over, trying to live up to Martha Stewart expectations, worrying about …
Himself and I are about halfway through watching “The Crown” on Netflix. Yesterday we watched the “Beryl” episode, about Princess Margaret’s torrid affair with the enigmatic Tony Armstrong-Jones, whom she eventually married (and divorced…he was a complicated guy). The soundtrack included the classic by The Flamingos – “I Only Have Eyes For You.” Himself and …
I have a deadline this week (TOMORROW!!!), so I’m skidding in here to quickly share a bluesy country song I just heard a few days ago and immediately added to my love song playlist. Chris Stapleton’s Millionaire is all about appreciating having the love of a great woman, and what really matters in life. That’s …
In honor of this morning’s happy news that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have announced their engagement, I’m sharing music from British singer, Ed Sheeran, with his beautiful Thinking Out Loud. As someone who believes in “forever love,” this song really touches my heart. As a romance writer, I wish Harry and Meghan (the handsome prince …
I’m going for a more light-hearted look at love with this week’s choice. In fact, I’m thinking I need to write this hero – the lovable goofball whose main talent is that he can always make his girl smile. I’m picturing a guy who just kind of glides through life having a good time, and …
