Only FOUR MORE DAYS (& a few random hours) until KNOCK ME FOR A LOOP arrives!
Whoo-hoo! 
It’s not an easy wait, though, I know. 
So to help you pass the time & get you even more in the mood for Grace & Zack’s stunning debut (he he he 
) I thought I’d post a playlist of songs that I listened to while writing their story. I’ve even linked a few to their videos on YouTube.
Some are definitely just for Grace, others just for Zack, & a few simply sum up their relationship in general. Oh, & there are even a couple in there for Bruiser!

Great playlist! Why do I get the feeling that Bad Dog, No Biscuit is for Zack…
Off to see if I can perorder for Kindle YET…
Good list Heidi, and fun. Yah I got my package for KMFAL, I will be pushing the new book for you at all the local book stores. Thanks,
Ha! Was all dressed & ready to go to an appt…looked out the window
…snow & sleet & covered roads 
…no, thank you.
Maisey~ Haven’t gotten an answer for you, yet, but did you see the link on Amazon’s KNOCK page that says “Do you want this on Kindle?” Start clicking on that to let them know there’s a demand. I did!
Barb~ Yay! I’m so glad the stuff arrived so quickly. (For all my complaints about the USPS, I have to admit they did a really good job with my ST stuff this time.
)
Thanks Heidi…I’ve been clicking it too!
Heidi–I don’t think you put much thought into this list at all. *g*
If I may add a couple of songs I’ve been listening to lately….
Little Smirk and Not Meant to Be by Theory of a Deadman (although–Little Smirk is more of a guy who caught his girl–but you’ll get the idea) Also, I will add the Man Who Can’t Be Moved performed by Straight No Chaser (because they are the most awesome A cappella group ever and their version is just amazing).
Nope, didn’t spend much time thinking about this at all.
Of course, keep in mind that I spent 6+mos writing the story…that’s a lot of music to play in the background. LOL
And I just stumbled across another one: Anne Murray’s “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore”—for Zack, of course. Poor guy.
Heard one on the way taking the middle kiddo to swim practice Brand New Lover by Dead or Alive.
What I need to do is find a brand new lover
Is find myself a brand new lover
Somebody with eyes for me who
doesn’t notice all the others!!
(yeah, I’m on an 80s kick now)
I’ve got two
Please forgive me by Bryan Adams…thats 80s or
Wake up Call by Maroon 5
How about “Love Me” by Collin Raye, “You Lie” by Reba, “Because you loved me” by Celine, “Don’t take the Girl” by Tim McGraw? I am winging it here because I don’t know enough about Grace and Zack yet, but I am alomost there.
Peace and love,
Paula R.
Those are good ones. A few I haven’t heard in a while, tho, which means I might have to go hunting. And then dancing.
I also keep listening to Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” which I *know* isn’t quite accurate for Grace, but it’s still speaking to me, for some reason.
You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette. Just read the lyrics….enough said.
I thought of some more…
Cry me a River – Justin Timberlake
Angel Eyes – Jeff Timmons
Yesterday’s Letter – 98 Degrees
Love to Hate You – Erasure
Oh L’amour – Erasure
Yeah, I’m a 80’s chick and a recovering boyband girl.
I will feed your RSS after this useful article. Thanks a lot.
