This is the most exciting thing I've ever announced here...
Over a year ago I found a book titled Slammed on Amazon. I had never heard of it, none of my friends had heard of it, but the reviews were too good to pass up.
That was the first time I was introduced to the Colleen Hoover twist. I was an addict after that. I quickly read Point of Retreat and thought, "There is no way she can top this series."
And then I found Hopeless. I started pushing her books on my friends and family like a drug dealer. I was accused of being obsessed, or exaggerating how good her books are. And then they read them. Now I'm surrounded by rabid Colleen Hoover fans.
I couldn't possibly imagine how Colleen could top Hopeless and then I read Losing Hope. But what I have to announce is unlike anything I've ever seen an author do.
Prepare yourself...
Most of you know Griffin Peterson from American Idol, and as the image of Dean Holder from Losing Hope. Now he's teamed up with Colleen Hoover again to write a soundtrack to her upcoming book Maybe Someday. That's right, the book has a soundtrack.
I asked Colleen and Griffin what inspired them to create such a unique concept:
Colleen: I received a lot of positive responses to the inclusion of lyrics from The Avett Brothers in Slammed, as well as the slam poetry. I guess I kind of combined those two ideas into one, thinking it would be cool to include original lyrics in the story that were actually written by the characters. That idea grew into the idea of readers actually being able to hear the songs the characters wrote. That's where Griffin came in. He wrote all of the lyrics and music for the story.
Griffin: Colleen would send me scenes from the book or describe to me what the characters were going through and how they were feeling. I would use that information as inspiration to write music that I felt would do the story justice.
Now all you need are links to pre-order Maybe Someday and download the first single "I'm In Trouble", and again I've got you covered.
