Song of the week: Wake Up Everybody (John Legend)

Wake Up Everybody

John Legend, Melanie Fiona, The Roots & Common

Usually when I write I need a fast and urgent soundtrack, something like Pitbull or David Guetta. I'm not entirely sure why, but maybe that's why I write so many fast-paced books? Case in point: I wrote Man Frame while listening to the Black Eyed Peas' The E.N.D..

But this John Legend song is completely the opposite. It's soulful and chill and just the perfect morning song. So wake up, people!

Live It Up (Grassroots #3) - Out on 9 May!

Andy’s been after an insane shifter for days, but when he rescues Sunny, the human female Mary had decided would make a good snack, he finds himself entangled with someone completely opposite to him. He's his Pride Enforcer. She's human. He lives for his job. She lives in the moment. Nothing good can come out of this. So what if his lion yearns for her? What Andy and the rest of the Pride don't understand is that Sunny might not be a shifter but that doesn't mean she's weak. She knows what she wants and she's going to get him...whatever it takes.
