You Can Always Go Home book trailer



Good Morning everyone!
In lieu of a post, I’ve put out a new book trailer for You Can Always Go Home. Hope you enjoy and don’t forget to comment on the video. Let me know what you think.


Life has a funny way of working. One day, you lose it all. Your family, your friends, the only person you ever thought you could love. It drops you off in a place that is foreign, leaving you to figure out where to go and what to do. Just when things are bleak and you don’t think you can go on, fate steps in and shows you what it was all for. As you move through life, you learn that if you close yourself off from the things that hurt, you miss out on the good stuff.


Alexina’s life is full of twists and turns. She lost most of her family as a child, and now as an adult, has just buried her husband of two years. A chance meeting with a past flame has her thinking of what could have been. Exhausted and burned out from the guilt of her husband’s death and the pressure of her family, Alexina heads back to her childhood home, Killeen, Texas.


            Luciano has loved Alexina since high school, keeping her close to his heart. When he sees her at her husband’s funeral, he can’t help the pull he feels for her. Knowing it’s the wrong place and time, he walks away, hoping to see her again. When he sees her six months later he knows fate is on his side. Now, all he has to do is get past her doubts of them and the guilt of her husband’s death.


            Behind the scenes, a sinister force is working against them, threatening to tear them apart. Her late husband left behind unfinished business, information his enemies desperately want kept hidden. Now it’s going to take everything Alexina has to keep her wits about her and make sure they stay safe.

Music for the soul…

I don’t know about you, but I like a little tunes in the background when I write. I’ve tried the TV for background noise, but I get distracted…easily. Music on the other hand…once I find the right mood I can write for hours.

Let me share with you a few of my playlists

For writing love scenes:

  1. Bed – J. Holiday
  2. Glitter in the Air – Pink
  3. In the kitchen – R Kelly
  4. Sex on Fire – King of Leon
  5. She Wolf – Shakira

For writing Anger/fight scenes:

  1. Black Skinhead – Kanye West
  2. Breaking Dishes – Rihanna
  3. Caught Out There – Kelis
  4. Hurt – Johnny Cash
  5. You’re Not Sorry – Taylor Swift (CSI Remix)

For writing “normal” scenes:

  1. Dime Store Diamond – Gossip
  2. Music – Leela James
  3. Nutbush City Limits – Tina Turner
  4. Pop Goes the World – Gossip
  5. Rockstar – Rihanna
  6. Summertime – Sam Cooke
  7. Upgrade You – Beyonce

For writing the breakup/sad scenes:

  1. Airplanes – B.O.B./Hayley Williams
  2. All Cried out – Allure
  3. Not Goin Cry – Mary J. Blige
  4. And I’m Telling You – Jennifer Hudson
  5. Angels – Diddy/Biggie Smalls
  6. Breakeven – Script
  7. Climax – Usher
  8. Tonight – Xscape
  9. Touchdown – Game
  10. You Belong to Me – Trey Songz

Now, this is not all the songs, but they are the ones I keep on repeat.

What do you like to listen to when you write?
