NIGHT MOVES is about a girl who thinks she’s done all the right things, because she did what people told her what was right. But at 24, Melanie has a miserable job, no social life, and a boyfriend who is moving on. She’s buried what she really wants down so deep inside her that she doesn’t realize how pissed off she is until she snaps. Now on the run, Melanie winds up hiding out on the road with Soul Divider, a band desperate to reclaim their heyday. So desperate that will give anything, even their mortality, to get back to the spotlight.
I’m not a writer who writes to music, but I’m very inspired by music. I find musicians to be absolutely fascinating because they live outside of the bounds of what we consider everyday society. They can make up their own rules. There’s something very sensual about that—the art and the anarchy coming together to make something that’s worthy of fantasizing about.
Some of my best ideas come to me when I’m driving and listening to music. My mind begins to wander, expanding my plot, answering the questions that I’ve been stuck on for my characters, and then I either wind up voice texting myself my ideas or scribbling a scene down furiously in the work parking lot.
I don’t remember what song sends me off into my inspiration, so I put this together after NIGHT MOVES was written. Soul Divider could probably be considered classic rock, so I kept with that theme, for the most part, with a few newer songs sprinkled in because they’re trying to make a comeback. I know that I do my best thinking listening to Bon Jovi, so that’s why they dominate this playlist.
