Hello Tara! I'm Arial Stanton, a big fan of Amplified, but of course you've heard that a lot, I'm guessing. I live near Portland, just across the bridge to Washington (I don't know if you still live there, but whatever) , but I really want to let you know

Aw, thank you Arial (awesome name, btw)! I, unfortunately, do not live in Portland anymore. I had to move against my will and I miss it dearly. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this—way to make a writer feel inspired

What are you thinking about doing for the Encore book cover?

Good question. I’m seeing purple and black—but other than that, I’m excited to see what my publisher comes up with!

"Maybe…if we were a better band…we could’ve followed her down this hole. Let her take us by the hand..."

“Maybe…if we were a better band…we could’ve followed her down this hole. Let her take us by the hand and lead us right into hell, and the music would build inside of us—inside everyone in this building—until it felt like our organs were going to explode. Until we couldn’t hear another note without losing our minds.”

"We Were Stars
There’s a burned out Barracuda on the way to Lake Mojave
Rusty bones and a crumpled..."

“We Were Stars


There’s a burned out Barracuda on the way to Lake Mojave

Rusty bones and a crumpled hood

She was something else, back in the day

Cherry red with glossy black seats

She didn’t back down, even when you pushed her

She sang until the end

And she didn’t go quietly

She was still breathing when the last flame went out


Live in the moment

Sink or swim

It’s all you can do”
