As I was saying in my last post.. My Mom and I, We were lucky to be alive. For 1 year and a half, we lived a REAL LIFE HOLLYWOOD nightmare. Experienced things not many everyday people has. We were no longer victims. We were warriors and we were victorious. And due to everything we had been through, we had been to war together, we weren't just Mother & daughter. We were best friends and comrades. We had each other's back. She understood my pain, my healing, my success and the price for it all more than anybody else. Cause she was there with me. Losing her, was like losing half my soul. She and I were kindred spirits. We could depend on one another. We were always there for one another. And when her health failed her, I took care of her and loved her even till the end. I sang her a song at her "viewing" that my grandfathr wrote that talks about being reunited with your loved ones in Heaven. It's truly a beautiful song. I wasn't the only one crying. And many people came up to me and spoke about what's beautiful and fitting song that was. And that thy admired my strength and everything I did that day to make it special in celebrating my mother's memory. I spoke a few words about how special she was too me. How he saved my life more ways than one. She was my Hero. And some how through the years, I managed to sing my heart out for heart at day. I sang like I've never sang before. I gave it my all. It's what she would have wanted. She always wanted me to follow my dreams. To sing cause that's why brought me joy. Music was something special to my mom & I. It was something we shared. So I love reading novels of all kinds that involves my love for music and rock. So I'm sure I will really enjoy reading your novels and getting to know this Elliot of yours. He sounds like a unique and interesting character... I just want to say thanks for this generous offer. And to say I admire u for daring to follow your dreams.
... Anyway, to get to the point, I LOVE music! I'm actually from a family of several generations of singers,song writers, and musicians. Even my great great grandfather was a music instructor. And my grandfather was a very talented singer and singer writer and even had a popular and in the 1960's. My Uncle could play "Wipe Out" on the drums when he was 16 years old. He plays many instruments but mostly sticks to singing, playing guitar and piano in his band. I sometimes even sing with him. I have a great love for singing, dancing and acting. Performing in musicals in local theaters growing up was truly a happy time in time in my life. Doing something that I love to. And I agree with your quote when you said... "That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing."... I know all to well how short life is, and that everyday truly is gift to us from God. I lost my mother and grandmother back to back in 2013 & 2014, and it was a very heartbreaking experience losing the women who both raised me, loved me, supported me and believed in me. Besides God, they are the ones I loved most. And it took my strength in God to not give up and find HOPE in Him if I keep my faith, stay committed too him and then one day my faith will be rewarded and I will be reunited with my family in Heaven again some day. My mother and I lived through so much together, we escaped out of a very bad and dangerous man's hands. Who abused me and tried to end us both. We were lucky to be alive. For 1 year and a half, we lived a REAL HOLLYWOOD nightmare. Experienced things not many everyday people has. We were no longer victims. We were warriors and we were victorious. And due to everything we had been through, we been to war together, we weren't just Mother & daughter. We were best friends and comrades. She understood my pain, my healing, my success and the price for it all more
I'm an avid reader and a hopeless romantic and I love to read romance novels from many different genres. I'm pretty open in reading new novels from Authors I've never heard of before. I like diving into a new author who has a different flavor or writing prospective I should say that's unique in its self. And I just recently learned of you and your latest book through Fresh Fiction. And I'm truly glad I did cause you sound just like the kind of Author I can easily fall in love with. Because in your novel Elliot, your combining 3 out of 8 of my greatest loves that defines me and is so important too me. In no specific order, 1 being my love for books. 2 and 3 being my love for music and my passion for singing... I was born in the late 80's so I can't help but show some love to the decade I was born. I do love 80's and 90's music. And since I'm a bonafide Southern Belle, I do love my country music. But 90's country before it went down hill, I like only a little of today's country. So therefore I listen to and collect albums from some of my favorite hard rock and classic rock bands. I like a little bit of everything. Born Jovi, Aerosmith, White Snake, Rolling Stones, Guns and Roses, Linkin Park, and many other bands. But my favorite is Alice and Chains. I swear, the lead singer Layne had the voice of a rock Angel. His voice was so beautiful too me. His music moves me in a way no artist ever has. In fact, I've already told my husband that I have our sons name picked out. I don't want to give it away fully. But Payne will definitely be my future sons middle name. His first name comes from one of my favorite Brad Pitt movies. And combined, it sounds really awesome. The perfect football name to that will be great since our family is huge college football fans... Anyway, to get to the point, I LOVE music!
