BLURB supplied by Itching For Books
Bryn Schaefler grew up rich. Her parents expected the best out of her, picked her boyfriend for her, and groomed her to be the next trophy wife fresh out of High School. But when they discover she wants to pursue music instead of following in her mothers footsteps, they wanted to hear nothing about it.
That was when Bryn left for good.
By chance, she auditioned for main stream rock band Everlasting. Never in a million years did she think she would make it.
Cale Pelton knew it was his fault for the band scrambling around to find a new guitarist. Once he saw Bryn audition, he knew he had to have her. Not just in the band, but in his mind, body and soul.

STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART
MUSIC PLAYLIST
BY Breigh Forstner
Music played a huge part in creating
this story about Bryn following her dreams and doing what she loved. I’ve
included here some of the music I listened to while writing “Straight from the
Heart,” that also helped shaped the characters to be who they are! Note, these
songs are in order of the chapters as they were used for chapter titles in the
book.
Second
Chance by Shinedown: I had this song pictured in my
mind the whole time writing the opening scene to the book. This was when Bryn
walked out the door of her parents’ house and into her future. It’s a very
emotional song and I tried to capture that same kind of emotion with Bryn as
she was doing something she hasn’t thought about doing before.
Demons by Imagine Dragons: This was the song Bryn played for her audition
for Everlasting.
Don’t
Stop Believing by Journey: I thought of this as an
inspirational song. This was when Bryn got the call from Cale
that she made the band, and had met with him for lunch.
Nothing
But A Good Time by Poison: The perfect pick me up
song for Bryn’s first day on the tour.
King
for a Day by Pierce the Veil featuring Kellan
Quinn: Bryn’s first experience on stage. (I should’ve changed the title to
‘Queen’ for a day
One
Thing by One Direction: Such a sweet song. I had to
add it into the book regardless if it fit or not.
Lips
of an Angel by Hinder: Bryn had agreed to go on a
date with Damon Charming, lead singer of Ignite the Flames.
Seize
the Day by Avenged Sevenfold: Seize the day. Enough
said!
Face
Down by the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus: Bryn catches
Cale in a compromising position.
I
Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace: Bryn
was still mad at Cale for doing what he did at the club. I thought this song
was fitting for her emotions at the time.
Congratulations by Sleeping with Sirens featuring Matty Mullins: Bryn was reunited
with her best friends in California, Gina and Bethany!
Addicted by Saving Abel: I added this song in, thinking immediately of the
instant chemistry Bryn and Cale had from the very beginning. They had feelings
for each other, and soon became addicted.
She
Will Be Loved by Maroon 5: Bryn and the group was
finally back from tour and she was glad to be back to her temporary home.
Love
Like War by All Time Low featuring Vic Fuentes:
This was when Bryn and the group went into the studio to record their album,
with Tyler, for the first time.
Tears
Don’t Fall by Bullet for my Valentine: Bryn had
just found out about what happened between Cale and Tyler Donahue, a former
member of the band, before she joined the group.
Run
Free by Asking Alexandria: I really connected to
the lyrics when writing this chapter. The chorus says “Open your eyes and your
mind to a new world,” and I found that perfectly fitting for Bryn.
No
Ordinary Love by Memphis May Fire: The title of
this song describes Bryn and Cale’s relationship perfectly. This is no ordinary
love.
The
Final Episode by Asking Alexandria: Everlasting had
just gotten to the festival they were going to be playing at, and Bryn had a
feeling something was going to wrong.
Outside by Staind: This was the beginning of the end. Of the book that was.
While Bryn and Vince were onstage something traumatic happened offstage,
affecting each of the members of Everlasting, especially Bryn.
