Listening to music when plotting my books is something I love to do. I’ll put on my headphones, head outside with my dogs, and let the lyrics take me places. Here are some of the top songs I listened to when writing Beyond the Stars.
“Enchanted” by Taylor Swift
“If I Had You” by Adam Lambert
“Perfect” by Pink
“Demons” by Imagine Dragons
“The Other Side” by Jason Derulo
“Neon Lights” by Demi Lovato

Falling for him wasn’t in the plans…
Most girls would kill for the opportunity to work for Jack McAlister, Hollywood’s hottest actor, but twenty-one-year-old Jessica Beckett is ready to kick him out of her red Ford Fiesta and never look back. She should be spending her junior year in France, eating pastries and sharpening her foreign language skills. Instead she’s reluctantly working as Jack’s personal assistant, thanks to her powerhouse talent agent aunt.
Jack is private, prickly, and downright condescending. Jessica pushes his buttons—she’s not the type of girl to swoon over celebrity heartthrobs, precisely why her aunt thought she’d be perfect for the job—and Jack pushes right back.
But as she begins to peel away his layers, Jessica is shocked to find she craves her boss’s easy smile and sexy blue eyes. The problem is, so does the entire female population. And what started out as the job from hell soon has Jess wondering if a guy like Jack could ever find love with a regular girl like her.
