Desolation Road Video Teaser Gives More Hints
I love how this book has already caused some conversation with the book trailer. I’m hoping the story will be one readers talk about for a while after they read it. I thought it would be fun to surprise everyone with an extra book teaser for Desolation Road. This has a different approach to it though.
I think men should always be careful of women who frequent libraries or bookstores. Women who surround themselves with books. You should never underestimate them. You don’t know what she’s read. So you don’t know what she knows. Her mysteries are as vast as her TBR pile. LOL
I hope you enjoy the teaser! Let me know what you think!

Desolation Road – The Music Behind the Book Trailer
I love music. I listen to it when I write, when I exercise, to meditate or dance. Music has always been a part of my life even though I am not a musician. So, when I first heard the music they wanted to use for the Desolation Road book trailer I was excited and approved it right away.
The song is haunting and the words were perfect for the trailer that gives a glimpse inside the book that is Absinthe and Scarlet’s story. Ironically, the song could represent each character individually, or as a couple.
I love the song so much I reached out to the artist, Will Van De Crommert to ask him about the song and to show him some of the many comments posted on social or emailed to me about the song.
From Will - Composers and authors actually have a lot in common. We’re both artists that work and create primarily on our own, in solitude. We spend countless hours honing our respective crafts and when we finish an album or a book, we have no idea how it will be received after the work goes public. It’s both creatively fulfilling and terrifying, so you can imagine how gratifying it is when there’s such a positive response to a track or album I have created.
I am incredibly grateful and humbled when I receive a positive response to my music. Creativity almost always requires risks on the part of the artist, so it’s always a pleasure to see a track, like Last to Fall, be well received by fans like yours. Many thanks!
Will watched the Desolation Road book trailer and said, “The trailer for Desolation Road looks like an exciting addition to her Torpedo Ink series, and I’m pleased to have my music alongside a promo for what looks to be a very exciting addition to this literary world.”
Quotes from readers about the song-
I love the music in this trailer. Who is it by?
Love the trailer!!!
Love the music, who is it and what's the title????
I love this whole series!! Can't wait for Absinthe's book!
Love this series What is the song called, it is brilliant?
Ok I think I need to track down the music from the trailer! lol what is the title of it and who is it?
Omg I soooooo cant wait Christine Feehan may I ask what song is used in this trailer pleaseeeee
This is beautiful. And the music is prrfect.
Not usually a fan of the trailers but...OMG this is fantastic....where can I get this music!!?
I knew how the song made me feel, both while watching the trailer and just listening to the entire song on its own so I asked Will more about the song.
From Will - This album (called Last to Fall for the title track) arose in collaboration with a music house in my native Minnesota. For this release, I wanted to create a sonic backdrop that could support larger-than-life worlds, exciting stories, and dark narratives. Much of my musical training is based on my university classical training, my pop music sensibilities, and my time as a film and television composer in Minneapolis and Los Angeles.
You can see Will’s music video for Last to Fall here-https://youtu.be/wsZaEFomcLU
Will’s album releases on June 19th on iTunes and pre-orders start on June 11th! If you enjoyed Last to Fall I hope you’ll check out his album.
Desolation Road releases July 7th. I’ll be taking questions on Ask the Author for Torpedo Ink the entire week of the release starting July 6th. I can’t give out spoilers, but I’ll answer any questions I can.
Check out Will's album!

The Magic of Absinthe - Desolation Road
His psychic talent has been the most used throughout the series so far and it makes him intriguing now that he has his own book. I love that he’s this mystery, not just to readers, but to me. Writing Desolation Road was as much a journey for me as I hope it will be for the reader. Absinthe and Scarlet are an amazing couple who I feel are well matched on every level.There are a lot of reveals in this book. Things I’ve always known were coming and soon I’ll find out what readers are most excited about when they discover it.
Absinthe doesn’t tell his brothers and sisters about the little librarian he’s been coming to see. He doesn’t even let Scarlet know he’s in a club at first. Not because he’s ashamed, but because he wants her to know him just as himself first. For a while she doesn’t even know his club name. So, you can imagine the scene when that gets revealed, right? LOL
Absinthe is very sexy. In my mind I see him so clearly. It’s not just his perfect body, handsome face or bad boy lifestyle. He is super brilliant. And to me, intelligence is sexy. This man is layered in sex appeal and Scarlet isn’t a silly girl. She sees it too. Unfortunately, her past and her plans don’t really align into having a relationship. So, our guy Absinthe has to use his considerable charm and training to convince her otherwise.
We find out what his intimate needs are and that was a discovery for me, too. It’s something that’s actually kind of popular though not something people talk about openly unless you’re in that lifestyle. Some people will love it, some won’t, but I hope people at least find it interesting.
Just like all of Torpedo Ink he has his tragic backstory that follows him and tries to crush any possibility of being in a relationship. Of being loved and accepted.
Absinthe has found a woman that has the potential of giving him everything. Now they just have to survive their past and the challenges of being together to get their happy ever after.

The Mystery of Scarlet – Desolation Road
Never forget that a woman who reads is a dangerous woman indeed. If you're already read Desolation Road , you know that.
I can really see Scarlet becoming a favorite for so many, myself included. She is full of mystery. She is a kick-ass librarian both smart and courageous. She’s beautiful inside and out. Of course, Absinthe was going to fall in love with her.
She’s a very layered character so writing her was fun for me. I enjoyed writing every single page. Even the difficult ones. These characters, Absinthe and Scarlet were so well matched, so strong they were fun to write. Having her have her own psychic gifts was really fun. And for her, dangerous in ways she never dreamed of.
Scarlet has a former life she has to deal with. A former life that comes back on her when she’s not yet prepared. She’d hoped for more time. But, she knew it was possible her past could cost her her life. Having a relationship wasn’t in the cards for her. Maybe it never would be. Then along comes the most sexy, intelligent, incredible man in the world and what’s a girl to do?
Scarlet and Absinthe have amazing chemistry. She wants him with everything she is. Then, her past starts to take a dark turn. And some of it surprises Absinthe…and Torpedo Ink.
I’m excited to have readers meet her and discover how courageous and amazing she is.
