It’s exactly one week before The Replacement officially ventures out into the world and I’m already hearing reports of sightings in the wild!
So, in honor of this being the craziest, weirdest, most surreal feeling ever, I’m posting some of the music I listened to while writing The Replacement. This playlist is representative, but not comprehensive. (If you want to know what Carlina sounds like when she sings, you have to go find Jennifer Charles—preferably some of the stuff she’s done with Firewater—but alas, playlist.com didn’t have any)
Also, this list is dominated by male vocalists. It doesn’t mean anything. Except that I apparently listen to male vocalists when I write boy-books.

PEARL JAM.
I die.
I know you do. But thankfully, no one has to actually listen to it—it is only there for posterity.
I seriously can’t wait for this to come out. SERIOUSLY.
Not long now! (Book 2 revisions are keeping me so busy I keep losing track of time.)
Yay, seven days! I pre-ordered. I’m too old to camp out by the letter box this year. All this social media has made me soft and curvy.
It’s almost here! Time. Just. Keeps. Going!
Ohhhhhh yes, a playlist! I really like when authors release playlists for their books, and I’m really looking forward to reading The Replacement.
I’m super-nosy, so I love seeing people’s playlists—And now I get to share my own! It’s fun, because I know when it’s being spoilery, but no one else will ;)
I only know the first song on your playlist, but it’s one I like! :)
Also, I won an ARC of The Replacement and I’ve already read it and I LOVED it! It’s very awesome! :D
Oh, I’m so glad that you liked it! Thanks for stopping by :)
Happy Early Book Birthday!
And I’m lovin’ the music on this playlist. :)
Glad you like it! I probably spent longer than necessary trying to make it NOT be just a big mash-up. My musical tastes are . . . let’s just say eclectic.
Your book is on my birthday list! I can’t wait to read it. Oh, and I LOVE the playlist!
I’m glad you like the playlist! Are you a Fall birthday too?
Ack! The time has come! I hope a release party is in store, and I hope I know in time so secure childcare…. :)
As *soon* as I hear the word, I will let you know, and we will make it a party!
It’s so close! I’m overly excited for my Pre-Order to arrive ;)
And I love that you posted this playlist. Music and writing just belong together and it’s nice to have a feel for the tone while I eagerly wait for the books arrival!
I think playlists are so much fun! (And I have a much easier time focusing when I listen to music while I write.)
I HATE WAITING!!
If I have to wait one more minute I’m going to start a RIOT!! My mind is hungry, the hunger only good books can satisfy.
I Got the replacement for christmas an i finished it in only two days. i didnt want to stop reading was soo good :)
Oh, wow—thanks for letting me know you liked it!
HEY YOU’RE ON LIVEJOURNAL!!! I didn’t notice till this form popped up. LOL! I emailed you via GoodReads a couple of days ago, if you remember. Um, hi again! ^__^
Anyway, thanks for posting your playlist. Of course Carlina sounds like Jennifer Charles because Jennifer Charles is unearthly and earthy at the same time. The one hard-to-find album she did with Lovage is one of my all-time favorites.
Left to their own devices, I imagine the House of Mayhem’s house band sounds rather like the Mediaeval Baebes.
Again, bravo to you on your wonderful book!
Oh, that Lovage album it best-ever—it is so weird! And awesome. And weird. My guy got it for Christmas one year, during a time that I was obsessively playing American McGee’s Alice and he would blast it while I was running around battling giant angry centipedes. It was. . . oddly appropriate.
