Blackmoore Extras

I have had such an amazing week meeting some of you at book signings and receiving your responses to Blackmoore. It was such a labor of love and heartache for me to write it, and I am so grateful for everyone who has read and understood and seen beauty in Kate's story. Thank you!

If you want even more of Blackmoore, including my inspirations for Kate and Henry, you can check out my Pinterest board.

I also made a playlist of songs that I listened to while writing. Some of them inspired very specific situations or character interactions; others were more general. For example, Adele's "Turning Tables" was the song I listened to when I needed to get my head into the relationship between Kate and her mother. Here they are, in no particular order:

Turning Tables by Adele Distance by Christina Perri, Jason Mraz Brave by Sara Bareilles One and Only by Adele I Will Wait by Mumford and Sons Arms by Christina Perri You Belong to Me by Carla Bruni Carry On by Fun Bluebird by Christina Perri Breathe by Taylor Swift Winter Song by The Head and The Heart Maybe by Ingrid Michaelson

And then, after the book was done, I heard a song on the radio that I instantly fell in love with and thought, "This is Kate and Henry's song!" I especially love the line, "I'm going to climb on top your ivory tower. I'll hold your hand and then we'll jump right out." I'm posting the video on here because I LOVE the video.

 Here it is: Beneath Your Beautiful



As soon as I get some stuff organized, I'll post photos from the launch party and update my events page. Thanks!
