Author Guest Post with Tam Derudder Jackson

Posted on August 26, 2021 By Jenna Rideout No Comments on Author Guest Post with Tam Derudder Jackson

My entire life is my music—and all the trappings that come with it. Sex, booze, and rock ’n’ roll is all I ever wanted. Touring the world as the lead singer of Balefire, I have it all. Until on hiatus, I meet the girl next door.

Author Guest Post

Your book is steeped in music, but was the writing process?

Attending rock concerts is my jam! I love to go to rock shows, and I listen to rock music all the time. A rock station plays on my car radio and on my phone. My Spotify, Pandora, and iTunes playlists are all rock songs. I download sheet music and play rock music on my piano. Rock songs inspired each of the books in the Balefire Series.

And I write in silence.

While the books are steeped in music, my writing process is not. Though I’ve made playlists for each of the books in the series, I only listen to them when I’m driving long distances, cleaning my house, working in my yard, or working out. The words don’t flow when music is playing because I’m too tuned in to the songs. But readers can listen to the playlists while reading the books if they check out my Spotify, or they can create their own playlists from the ones I left in the back of the books. 😉

My entire life is my music—and all the trappings that come with it. Sex, booze, and rock ’n’ roll is all I ever wanted. Touring the world as the lead singer of Balefire, I have it all. Until on hiatus, I meet the girl next door.

Ashleigh Baker is nothing like the groupies and celebrities who usually have all my attention. In her cute floppy hat with her knees stained with dirt, she spends her days creating a flowering show piece from her rented yard. She’s the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever met, and she acts like she doesn’t want a damn thing to do with me. But from the moment I laid eyes on her, she’s all I can think about.

Ashleigh

Growing up the only child of an Air Force Colonel, all I wanted was to stay in one place for more than a minute. When I score a pretty little house with a long-term lease, I just want to grow my flowers and my freelancing gig as a music reviewer. Then a loud Harley wakes me from a sound sleep and I discover my neighbor is Blu Connolly. Yeah, that Blu Connolly, lead singer for my favorite band Balefire. With his killer good looks and panty-melting voice, he’s a walking temptation to sin. Though I do my best to avoid him, it seems Blu has other ideas. He’s on a mission to wear me down, let him in, but what happens when he stops wanting to sing for me?

About the Author

Tam DeRudder Jackson is the author of the paranormal romance Talisman Series and the contemporary romance Balefire Series. Her favorite “room” in her house is her back patio where she dreams up stories of romance and risk. When she’s not writing her latest paranormal or contemporary romance, you can usually find her driving around with the top down in her convertible or carving turns on the slopes of the local ski hill. The mom of two grown sons, Tam likes to travel, attend rock concerts, watch football and soccer, and visit old car shows with her husband. She lives in the mountains of northwest Wyoming where she spends most of her free time trying to read all the books. Her TBR piles are threatening to take over her office, and she’s fine with that.

    I can’t imagine working in silence but it sounds like you’ve got your workflow figured out!

      I’m easily distracted, so I need it quiet to create. But I can hear the Balefire concerts in my head as I write them, so there’s that. 😉
