Here on Laurasmagicday it’s all about the music. Like lots of writers music is a big part of my process. And since LA is one of the centers of music, there’s lots of amazing clubs in town. One of my favorite memories was attending the E! Entertainment Christmas party at The Key Club, where Macy Gray sang and I was right up front. AMAZING. What a voice!
Early on in the novel, Ashley talks about this legendary venue, The Whiskey a Go Go:
Here’s the music that inspired TRANSFER STUDENT. I hope you enjoy listening to the songs!
I love the Ice Dance song. It’s so beautiful!
Evie, 🙂 I LOVE that song too. So glad you enjoyed listening to them! Thanks so much for stopping by and letting me know which song you like best!
i love getting to find out all the songs that helped make transfer student. then i can listen and try to figure out what songs inspired different parts of the book : ) plus, yay for new music!
Alicia, YAYS! It totally true that certain songs go with certain parts of the story, just like a sound track. It’s organized in order of the narrative so you can listen as you read…like in the movies:) Hope you enjoy it! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
