Songbird
By- Victoria Escobar
Genre- New Adult Contemporary Romance
Bianca ran from her past with the hope of being forgotten. Instead of living her dreams, she wasted her skills at a famous entertainment hall in Nashville. An offer to wrangle country music’s infamous bad boy, Nicholas Walker, proved too good to refuse.
However, life on the road presented its own challenges. Walker acted like an overgrown toddler that missed his nap. The band supported her takeover but the massive crew protested answering to a woman. On top of tip toeing around egos, discretion needed to be maintained while feeding Walker’s infamous sexual appetite.
She never expected Walker to focus his wandering eyes on her. When her past returned fighting Walker didn't seem as vital as keeping him alive. Walking away should be easy, but first they must all make it through unharmed.
Topic- Inspiration for “Songbird”
I wrote the base fifty thousand words of Songbird in two weeks and all I remember of that frantic word dump was the constant hounding of the characters to get their story told. Once started, it was like turning on a faucet and the story poured out. I can’t say there was any specific inspiration so much as a thought that ran wild with imagination.
Songbird started at the end in the writing process for me. The last three chapters dumped out at once and I’m not really sure from where. I had barely finished Unattainable at the time and I wasn’t sure I was even separated from that yet to start a new one. Without giving the ending away, I think Songbird was more of a “what if” that spiraled out of control into “let’s do this”.
While writing, Nicholas insisted on only country music, so the lyrics of that likely inspired a lot of scenes too. Country music is awesome at telling a story and there were a lot of times the music added another “what if” I hadn’t thought of. Of course the characters picked it up and ran with it.
Most of the time I can say for certain I’m inspired by this or that but for this...The characters appeared on the cusp of finishing a book and demanded I write what they tell me to. Who was I to argue?
