Only
Bauer Grant can pull off gorgeous while dead. But staying dead is another thing
entirely. When he wakes up at his own funeral, the town of Mystique calls it a
miracle, until it happens again. Something is bringing the residents of
Mystique back to life, but what? Presley Caine finds herself caught up in the
mystery when Bauer asks her to visit him. Presley can’t figure out why the most
popular guy in school is so drawn to her. And when Bauer is kidnapped soon
after, she looks to Bauer’s brooding best friend Sam, whose dad works for the
powerful Mystique military base, for answers. In her quest to discover the
truth, Presley’s relationship with Sam deepens, her feelings for Bauer are
tested, and it becomes clear that her own mysterious past is somehow connected
to these strange events. But is she strong enough to handle the truth when it
is finally revealed?

When
I’m working on a book the first thing I do is figure out the “feel” or
“atmosphere” of the book. Most of the time this involves listening to music.
For MYSTIQUE I listened to a lot of Bon Iver, Feist, Fleet Foxes, Frightened
Rabbit, Local Natives and Loney, Dear. But the album I listened to on repeat,
the one that most of the songs directly inspired scenes for MYSTIQUE, is Go by
Jónsi. I listened to the song, Grow Till Tall, while writing the scene where
Presley is running from the soldiers. Even now when I hear it I see her running
across an open field while helicopters circle overhead.
Songs:
1. Graveyard by Feist
2. White Winter Hymnal by Fleet Foxes
3. Your Protector by Fleet Foxes
4. The Loneliness and the Scream by Frightened
Rabbit
5. Blindsided by Bon Iver
6. Grow Till Tall by Jónsi
These
songs really helped create the mood I needed to write. And when I wasn’t
writing I listened to them as well to help me brainstorm. Not to be dramatic or
anything, but without music I wouldn’t find what I’m looking for. It inspires
every scene in my head.
