Playlist: Songs that Inspired Beyond Eight Seconds

2/4/2022

 
Beyond Eight Seconds Book by Carly Kade
Playlists make my spurs jingle! I make music playlists for each book I write. My love stories are written while listening to music—all types of music. Some times it’s classical, sometimes it’s a movie soundtrack, other days it’s jazz or classic rock, and a lot of the time it was country while I was writing Beyond Eight Seconds.

From ‘Girl Like You’ by Jason Aldean to ‘You Should Probably Leave" by Chris Stapleton, I repeated these particular songs over and over while working on the fourth book in the In the Reins series. Here are the songs I think would definitely make a solid soundtrack while you are reading the book. Happy listening!
