“Hard Act to Follow” Playlist: Time Is Running Out by Muse – Guest Post by Kimber Vale

Hola, everyone! It’s Kimber Vale here. Thanks so much to the beautiful people of The Novel Approach for hosting me on my Hard Act to Follow tour! Hugs and kisses all day long!

If you’ve seen me around on some other blogs, you know I’ve been dissecting my Hard Act playlist. I’m a music fan—what can I say? I also have a tough time telling fibs, much like my MC Kyrie, and so I tell you, truthfully, this is way easier than trying to think up a new and exciting post idea for every stop. I’m not lazy.I swear! I’m just shooting for the path of least resistance this time around. Plus, I really freakin’ love music.

Anyhoo, some of my other stops included songs that perhaps lean toward the sad side of the feelings spectrum. Just slightly. Yeah, the book is a wee bit angsty, but I don’t do boatloads of angst. It makes me itch. And so today I go dancey on your ass, which totally works because Kyrie is the dancing queen. ;-)

Turning The Norm On Its Head – A Guest Post And Giveaway By Kimber Vale

And, no, I don’t mean knocking the accountant from Cheers off his bar stool.

Sorry, that was cheesy. What can I say? My new release is set in Bean Town—I couldn’t help myself.

Anyway, when you think of rock stars, what words come to mind? Sex? Drugs? Money? Nonstop parties? Binge drinking all night, and then sleeping the day away until the next gig? Did I say sex?
