Susan - 

​With the​ release of Burn Notice this week, I wanted to share with you some of the music behind the book!
​
​For me, picking the music that will be the soundtrack to the story is almost as important as the story itself because the songs are picked especially for the characters, or the situation they find themselves in.

Sometimes, a song is so perfect, the lyrics, the tone, the melody can transport me into the story in such a way its as if I am standing in the middle of the Sanguine Court, merely recording the history.

The book soundtrack, is a wonderful way to share with readers a little part of the writing process.

​The best way I can describe it is akin to the music that is played in the background while you are watching your fave TV shows or movies. I think if any of my books were made into a TV series, the part I would be super interested in, apart from everything else, is the music selection.
I always considered having that job on a tv show would be just epic and considering how big of a role music plays in my books, I would have to get involved.

Anyone else by Pvris is one of my fave Ryan and Nickolai songs. I think it could be used from either character POV but I think, this would define how Ryan feels about Nickolai

I also have a secret playlist called Sanguine Prince - Nickolai songs that features songs from Nickolai's POV, like Tom Grennan and Royal Highness, which is a fun quirky and contains the lyric- 
You'll be my royal highness
Queen bee, with a little sting to ya
If that's not Ryan I don't know what is!

And yes, Melanie, before you ask, Adam Rickett's Breathe Again is on the playlist! lol

Melanie - And yet you FAILED to put the video in ............ here let me fix that ;)



​You're welcome!

Susan - (Ignoring Melanie) - I think the most important songs that feature on the playlist are the ones that I listened to over and over again when writing the ending.
​*No Spoilers* 

i love you - Billie Eilish
Tether Me- Galleaux
II'm Kissing you -Bshp
Without Fear - Dermot Kennedy
I Will Never Love Again- Norma Jean Martin
Hurts like Hell -Fleurie​
