Playlist for The Asset

Hi there!

I’m been so busy with the edits for The Stranger and putting the final touches on The Game Warden, that I haven’t had a minute to post here. But today, right after I turned in the copy edits for The Stranger, I decided it was time to come up for a breath of fresh air.

A kind reader who loved The Asset emailed me. She wanted to know what kind of pop music I associated with The Asset. I love listening to music. For me, lyrics are important and a powerful song makes a statement. I like to listen to oldies, newbies and everything in between. So when I put together a Playlist for The Asset, I came up with exactly that sort of a mix.

In The Asset we meet Ash Hunter, a Navy SEAL wounded in Afghanistan who’s struggling to overcome his injuries when he finds himself staring down the barrel of Lia Stuart’s shotgun. Lia is a fugitive, hiding, desperately trying to escape her terrifying past. She may not be a SEAL and she’s definitively keeping secrets, but Ash recognizes her for who she really is: a fighter and a survivor, the kind, caring, passionate woman he could love, if only she wasn’t so afraid to let him. When she risks her cover to help him, Ash commits to a new mission. He will lay down his life to save hers.

The songs below make me think about Lia and Ash and what happens as they face their demons, challenge their enemies and fall in love.

Enjoy!
