Hunter Hayes’ video for I Want Crazy is what I try to capture in the young adult novels that I write. That whirlwind kind of love that consumes you so the other person is all you can think about. It also makes you do crazy things, like sneak into the public pool, or sneak up […]
I’m not sure where I first heard Paper Route, but I love, love, love them! This is an indie rock band that hails from Nashville, TN.
