Blood Princess Playlist

Hey everybody! I spent a lot of my night last night coming up with a song that goes with each chapter of my novel, Blood Princess. I really love music, so here's some of the songs that inspired me while I was writing the book!


1. A Dangerous Mind by Within Temptation..  I first heard this song in the 7th grade, and I listened to it frequently while writing chapter one. It's goes along pretty well with how Laura feels about her sister's actions in the first chapter.


2. Words as Weapons by Seether. Basically, this is how Shane feels about the people in charge of him.


3. Fear by Sarah McLachlan. Laura really doesn't know what to think in this chapter, and she's really bothered by the things that are happening in her life. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a good lyric video for this, but here's the song.


4. Cover Up by Trapt. Shane's getting to see who Laura really is and how she hides it.


5. Evil Angel by Breaking Benjamin. This basically describes Laura not knowing what to do about her sister.


6. I Can't Find You by SolarSolar.  Literally.


7. Hush by Hellyeah.  I mean, just listen to the chorus and second verse. This is how Laura feels about her family and what's happened in her life so far.


8. Tell Mama by the Civil Wars. Uh, I think I should stop writing these descriptive sentences or I'm gonna give everything away.


9. I Shall Believe by Sheryl Crow  Laura and Shane.


10. Make a Shadow by Meg Myers. Yeah. I don't have much to say. It just goes.


11.I Miss You by Blink 182. This is another one that has gone with the story since it's beginning. A lot has changed, but the heart of this chapter is the same as it has always been.


12.First Fires by Bonobo. Yep.


13. And the World Was Gone by Snow Ghosts. Couldn't find a lyric video, so I just posted the music video. I haven't watched it before, so hopefully it's good.


14. No Leaf Clover by Metallica. Yeah, this is Shane's life. Poor dude.


15. The Power of Love by Gabrielle Alpin. Laura learns this.


16.And We Run by Within Temptation feat. Xzibit. Again, literally.


17.Help Me Close My Eyes by Those Dancing Days. Everyone is done with everything.


18. Simple Man by Shinedown. Shane.


19. War of Hearts by Ruelle. Again, no lyrics. Sorry. Finding lyric videos is harder than you'd think.


20. Need to Be by Memphis May Fire. Shane's goals.


21.Battle Born by Five Finger Death Punch. My goodness why is it so difficult to find lyric videos?


22.Only One In Color by Trapt. Not only does it go well with Blood Princess, it is also one of the most adorable songs ever.


23. One by Metallica. Laura is just so done with everything. Also, the guitar in the intro to this song is beautiful.


24.Halo by Starset. So much Laura and Shane perfection is in this song.


25. Diamond Eyes by Shinedown.  This should be Laura's theme song.


26.Love Is to Die by Warpaint.


Aaand for the last chapter.....there are two songs! Woo!


27.  Good Man by Devour the Day and Remember Everything by Five Finger Death Punch. Both of these songs are PERFECT for everything that happens in this last chapter. PERFECT.



Well, that's it. Hopefully you enjoy the music. Now you see where a little bit of my inspiration is from!

Hey everybody!

Well, I've never had a blog before, so this is quite the new experience for me.

I guess I should start with a little bit about myself.

My name's Rebecca Ann Piercey, but most people just call me Becca. Some people call me Liz, although I'm not entirely sure how I got that nick name. Apparently it's because I think lizards are cute.

I'm (almost) 21 and I'm a senior in college.

I love to write, and I write often. I have more book ideas than I know what to do with, but I've only successfully written two novels.  While this may make me a nerd, at least I'll never have to think hard about a "unique fact about myself" when I get stuck playing that stupid icebreaker game. (Hopefully, that will be over after college)

I'm a Christian. That probably should have been the first thing I wrote about, as it's the most important thing about my identity. I asked Jesus into my heart at age four and have been following Him ever since! I also go to the most awesome church ever, so there's that. I feel like God has called me to be a missionary (this is a rather recent development), so right now I'm learning a new language and preparing myself for that.

I really love hot sauce. I mean, really. I used to carry it around with me in my purse.

I'm also an avid reader. Some of my favorite books include, The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa, anything by Katie McGarry, the Matched series by Allie Condie, the Watersong series by Amanda Hocking, and the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling.

There have also been a few books that have really changed my life. Divergent is the first of those books. The lesson of selflessness that Tris learns is something that not only moved me as a reader, but helped me grow in my faith. This is something I hope to do with my own books. The second book is Ink by Amanda Sun. I love the beautiful detailed description of Japan and it's culture in this book. I plan on going there one day, and Amanda Sun's series makes me so excited to go.


I really also like TV. Netflix is life. Some of my favorite shows include: Roswell, One Tree Hill, Supernatural, Teen Wolf, Finding Carter and Reign.

Other than that, I guess I really like to draw. I hardly ever upload my art anymore, but maybe I'll post a few sketches here and there.

Well, that's me! Hopefully, this blog is off to a good start.

Peace out, yo.
