Reader WVMP playlist & another triple giveaway!
Tomorrow morning I'm burrowing into my Super Secret Writer Cave to finish this short story and then start rewriting/revising Shift, so I won't be online much between now and July 19.But I wanted to give away another signed set of Wicked Game and Bad to the Bone, once again in preparation for the July 27 release of Bring on the Night. Last week's winner of the signed copies (plus a copy of Shannon Delaney's werewolf novel 13 to Life) was...Angel!
This week's special feature is a playlist that my Facebook page administrator, Jennzah Morris, made for me after reading an early copy of Bring on the Night. Most of the songs, she says, apply to the series as a whole, but a few are particularly pertinent to the upcoming installment (I won't say which, to avoid giving spoiler-y hints):
I think it rocks, and I'm so touched that she thought enough about the books and their connection to music to make up an entire playlist.
By the way, I am compiling a playlist for Shade made up of reader-suggested songs, including this PERFECT one suggested by a Facebook page "liker." Here are the lyrics to "Postcards" by this wonderful Irish band, The Blizzards.
I'd love to do a similar reader-built soundtrack for the WVMP series. So to enter to win signed copies of Wicked Game and Bad to the Bone plus a special bonus prize (see below):
1. Suggest a song for a WVMP series soundtrack (each song worth 3 entry chances, up to 5 songs).
OR/AND
2. Suggest a song for a Shade soundtrack. (each song worth 2 entry chances, up to 5 songs)
OR/AND
3. Tell me which songs make you think of other books or movies. (each song worth 1 entry chance, up to 5 songs)
Prize: signed copies of Wicked Game and Bad to the Bone, PLUS a $15 iTunes gift card.
Retail value: $30.98
Deadline: Monday, July 5, 11:59pm eastern.
U.S. Residents only (sorry, it's a legal thing).
Can't wait to hear your suggestions. As they say in radio, thanks for listening!
Labels: Contests, music, SHADE series, vampire series

For WVMP, Should I Stay or Should I Go Now (Is that the Kinks? I don't think so, but around that era. Terrible at band names, too...)

my favourite bit in the song is where Robbie has a CHOIR singing "Jesus didn't die for you...." it reminds of Ciara and her anti-holy beliefs :)

Matt Nathanson - Come on Get Higher
The Honorary Title - Stay away (this one actually reminds me of their relationship both before and after Logan dies)
As for WVMP - as I have said many times listening to the Metric CD Fantasies is like reading Wicked Game to me. Gimme Sympathy and Collect Call are just two of the songs that spring to mind & even though I haven't read BOTN yet - just by your description the song Blindness seems apt.

Thanks to everyone who suggested songs--I will definitely check out the ones I don't know. This'll really come in handy to inspire me as I (re)write SHIFT and write LET IT BLEED (the almost-official title of WVMP Book 4).
The winner is...Jaime! Congrats! Jaime, I already have your e-mail, so I'll contact you shortly for your address.
Thanks again to everyone who commented. There'll be another Triple Giveaway this week, so stay tuned. We'll be kickin' it Zombie Style!
