November 11th...

Today, in America, we give honor to our veterans who have fought for our country. I didn't want to go without saying something in honor of them today. I truly believe that these men and women are the true hero's. When you sign on the dotted line you sign just more than a contract to say yes I will do this job, you sign it knowing that you may have to put your life on the line for others. That's something I find quite beautiful in a world so full of hate at times. People never seem to understand what they go through, what their families go through, it's a lot more than then just bringing home a paycheck. So, today I say thank you for your serving your country. If you have served for my country, your country, I thank you too. You are not forgotten!


On a very different note, today is also PLAYLIST Wednesday.. I am in edits like I said last time, and as I edit, I see where I need to add music for certain parts. I promised to bring you music, and let the music tell the story, and I am trying my best to keep my promise. For today.. We have something a little different, but not really. I needed a love song. (I know.. I know.. yuck, love.. HAHA!) Either way, this book is somewhat a love story still, so I needed a song for the beginning of the book too. I am still searching for a song to sum up the Charmed Destiny, but that won't be released till the very end of all the music I have chosen. (That's my top secret one..) Okay, for today I am going to share another video. Hope you listen to the words, and the music moves you.


I have another secret I am going to share with you at one point this week or the next, stay tuned!

Thanks for reading my random thoughts today. Hug a veteran if you get the chance.
Peace, Love and All that Jazz- Dee King

Without further ado, I give you Ellie Goulding....

Wednesday..

Hey, Hey, Hey!

It's playlist Wednesday folks! We are gonna stray a little bit from our usual Indie Rock music this week. It's shocking, I know, but sometimes I do listen to other types of music. (Now, let's not get crazy, I don't do it that much.)

Alright, I am not sure if you have heard the new Adele song, but, man oh man she came back with a song that just speaks right to ya.

The album is named 25. They say this will be the last one she calls a number on the name of her albums. The new song released is Hello. If you are not a fan of hers, you have to at least give the woman credit. She sings and people become moved by her voice. That's a unique gift in itself.

"It's no secret, that the both of us are running out of time. Hello .... I am calling to tell you that I am sorry for breaking your heart, but it don't matter, clearly it doesn't bother you anymore.."

Those are some powerful lyrics written. Beautiful. Just an angelic like voice that she has, that brings people together over a common pain or a common voice that people stop just to listen to. That's what music is supposed to do. Make you feel. I hope that you will give her new song a listen, I found it to be quite beautiful.

Okay, so let's see what else may be making the playlist for Charmed Destiny. This playlist is gonna be hard for me.There's so many songs, and just so little time.  I have been taking my time trying to put this one together. I also promise in the back of the book the list will be made public, not just on my blog, but of course, you guys get the list before anyone else.

Let's see if I can't find some good ones that are a little out of my box.
Here we go....

The Weekend- Can't feel my face.

Haha! Love this song. I have no idea why, but I do. I love the beat, and when it switches up in the first 20 seconds of the song. It makes you feel like you could just stop, listen, and bust a move. (Some throwback to the 90's there.)

It's not surprising I like the new Ellie Goulding song either. This chick has a voice that I recognize immediately. I like it when I can know who the band or the singer is immediately. She also has the kind of unique voice I love.

Ellie Goulding- On my mind is the new single or it's the only one I can find right now.

X Ambassadors- Renegade

This song reminds me a lot of another band, in fact at first I thought it was them, but no it's not.The Kongos, is the band whom I thought it was, which is another band I really do like. The song is even played on a commercial. It's kind of hard to not like honestly. I haven't really listened to much of the other songs, but I do like that one.

I apologize.. I couldn't let this go without talking about Panic at the Disco. (Alternative Rock, of course)

Panic at the Disco- Victorious

They have released quite a few songs from their upcoming album, Death of a Bachelor. The one that is being played the most is Victorious. It's a pretty great song, if you like them, and I do.

That's all I have for this playlist Wednesday ... I hope you find some songs you like in this list for today. As usual, if you like it, buy it. They work hard to give us the music we love.

Peace, Love, and all that Jazz- Dee King

Enchanted Legacy

Finally..

This has been a rough week. We went from the book going live, to the book being pulled. It was crazy. BUT after we got everything worked out, it's now available again. Whew. What a relief ... It was very hard to try to tell people that you are sorry, they just bought a book they couldn't even open. Like I said, it was finally all worked out, and we are good to go. When I wrote Charming Selene, I really just thought I wanted to tell my story in a very different way. Then as I started to think of another idea, Enchanted Legacy came to me in a rough draft type form. I knew I wanted to tell a different type of story, and I wondered if people would read it. As I wrote the story and the characters became so real to me. Real teenagers that had to live in a cursed world, and how would they deal with all of it.. on top of being in love. When my beta readers read the story, I was asked if I had really wrote the book. At first I was taken back, but then I realized that person thought it was good. That's when I got excited. I felt like I was finding my way through this book. I was in a dark place, and I wrote it out.. Tonight we are doing a giveaway on Facebook. It seems like just yesterday to me I was wondering if I would ever have anyone read the book, and now I am doing a giveaway for it. Life is funny that way.

I talk a lot about fulfilling your dreams, and how to reach for the stars.. I feel like I have done that. I want to give up like a hundred times a week, I won't lie. I don't even know if I connect with people enough sometimes, but then I think.. Yea, I like what I do, and I like the people whom I have met via internet. I have been lucky. I never have anyone tell me they hate my books or tell me they don't like me. I always wait for that shoe to drop so to speak. I appreciate all of the kind words, the amount of love I feel from people. It gives me hope that their are others out there just like me. People who want to just lives their lives, be happy, and share the love they have with others.
Now, of course, we all have our days, but for the most part.. I am genuine, and the people are too.

I missed the playlist yesterday, and I know.. I know that was no good. Due to a family member going into the hospital and my book issues, I just didn't have it in me. So, for today, I will share one last song for Enchanted Legacy. (Although, I typically find songs for the book all the time..) I will share this one. I used music quite a bit in the book. There is a part that one of the main characters hums a song.. I could never really think of what that song was, till I finished the book. I will share that with you all today. I hope you will join us on facebook tonight. The event is The Sassy Witches Present Enchanted Legacy. It should be fun, and I have a lot to give away.

NOW, for the song....

Ellie Goulding - Bittersweet

I know the song is from Twilight, but the song worked magically well. 

She has such a sweet, innocence, about her voice. 

I hope you enjoy the book, and enjoy today's song. Peace, Love, and all that jazz -Dee King-

Teaser Tuesday!

 So, this week my facebook like page changed it up, quite a bit.
We decided to start giving back to the Indie community that helps me.

Yesterday, was Music Monday. Boy, oh boy, was there a different sound coming from people. All kinds of music was posted yesterday. On my Twitter, we did the same thing. There was a band that asked if I would listen to their tunes. As usual, I did. I was honored to have a couple of bands ask. I told the band FATKINGBULLA, I would mention them today. This band threw me for a loop. It's a latin group, but the music was the kind that makes you want to dance. Great beats, catchy tunes, and a fun band to say the least. I have nothing to compare them too, they have their own sound.

Let's be honest, some of the bands I won't love, but this one... This one caught my attention.
Music Monday also included songs from Puddle of Mud, Rob Zombie, Ellie Goulding, and more. The songs went along with Enchanted Legacy pretty well. I enjoy Music Monday so much. Truth be told, I can't write without music. They go hand in hand for me. I always take your suggestions, listen to them, and if you make the cut, then CONGRATS! Your muse, becomes my muse, to do what I love doing so much. I appreciate all the music of the world. It helps me find a peace..

On to Teaser Tuesday. We want others to join in on the fun. This will probably take a while for it to catch on, but we do love helping others. I am a firm believer in giving back, and that whole you get more bees with honey saying. It's the truth, though. If you help others, when you need help, they may be there for you. Being kind isn't just a phrase you should say, you should live it. If you have a teaser or you follow a book blog, etc.. let me know. I am always available for you guys.

Tomorrow, we have another day set up for you.. I hope you enjoy certain days of the week, as I do.

Thank you for being LOYAL! I see you, and I love you for that!
