LeRoy, Cowboy & Writing with Music
Much of the inspiration for The Rock Star & The Outlaw came from the music of The Pretty Reckless and Amaryllis’ chapters are headed with the matching song title for each chapter heading. Of course, LeRoy’s chapters needed to have the proper song titles for each of his chapters, too, but his would go with songs by various artists, which turned out to be an eclectic mixture of rock, country, oldies, and pop. In Double Visions, there are multiple p.o.v. characters, and I used a mixture of music to title each of their chapters. P.O.V. characters in Book 2 include: Amaryllis and Rock Star, LeRoy, Cowboy and Original LeRoy, Monique and Shaman Woman, Nick and Catalina. Each book has a playlist with links at the beginning for anyone interested in getting into the mood as they read the story. Needless to say Book 2’s playlist is much longer than Book 1’s.
For Book 1, since each chapter of The Rock Star & The Outlaw has a song title for each chapter heading, Leroy’s chapters needed to fit not only the events of the chapter, but they also needed to fit LeRoy’s character. Finding the right songs for LeRoy’s character was both fun and interesting. In 1887, he’s a farm boy turned outlaw to save his father’s farm. In 2025, he’s a fish out of water, but he jumps right in with eyes open and a big, “Yahoo!” He may be wanted by the law in his own time, but he’s a gentleman at heart, and he would never leave a damsel in distress. For his music, I had to search for just the right piece for each chapter, and this often led me to explore music I wasn’t familiar with, exposing me to new and different artists. The same with each of the additional p.o.v. characters. I’ll admit, not all the songs fit perfectly with their chapters, but I think they help set the mood for the chapter.
The question posed for LeRoy’s character: Will he be able to save Sissy and still clear his name with the law?
About The Rock Star & The Outlaw 2: Double Visions
In 1887, LeRoy is stuck, bringing trouble down on those around him. Sissy is kidnapped and he’s the only one who can save her.
Amaryllis wakes up in 2030, in a future very different to the one she knows, one in which she may not have been born. She will stop at nothing to find LeRoy fix what went wrong in the past.
She and a version of Monique which is different from the one she grew up with travel back to 1887 to try and make things right.
Add two time travel regulators from the future who are after the time module, and things begin to get wild.
When the time loops are crossed, things change, but not the way Amaryllis intended and pretty soon, everybody is seeing doubles.
