Like a lot. I work at her publisher, World Weaver Press and Sara&#8217;s editor can not say enough good things about this book. Can. Not. I&#8217;ve never seen her so pumped about anything.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230;that&#8217;s a thing \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Bite Somebody Soundtrack<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Sara Dobie Bauer<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s funny; when Cori asked me to build a soundtrack for Bite Somebody, I realized the book sort of built one for me \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you want to be perfect?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what Danny asked Celia the night he turned her into a vampire. Three months have passed since, and immortality didn\u2019t transform her into the glamorous, sexy vamp she was expecting but left her awkward, lonely, and working at a Florida gas station. On top of that, she\u2019s a giant screw-up of an immortal, because the only blood she consumes is from illegally obtained hospital blood bags.<\/p>\n<p>What she needs to do\u2014according to her moody vampire friend Imogene\u2014is just \u2026 bite somebody. But Celia wants her first bite to be special, and she has yet to meet Mr. Right Bite. Then, Ian moves in next door. His scent creeps through her kitchen wall and makes her nose tingle, but insecure Celia can\u2019t bring herself to meet the guy face-to-face.<\/p>\n<p>When she finally gets a look at Ian\u2019s cyclist physique, curly black hair, and sun-kissed skin, other parts of Celia tingle, as well. Could he be the first bite she\u2019s been waiting for to complete her vampire transformation? His kisses certainly have a way of making her fangs throb.<\/p>\n<p>Just when Celia starts to believe Ian may be the fairy tale ending she always wanted, her jerk of a creator returns to town, which spells nothing but trouble for everyone involved.<\/p>\n<p>Although on a normal day, I\u2019m more of a grunge girl, that side of me didn\u2019t feel right for Bite Somebody, which is all about the 80s and the beach. Instead of my usual list of suspects, you\u2019ll find groups like The Cure, Queen, and Dave Matthews Band. Feel free to breakdance like Imogene or hippie sway like Ian. Either way, enjoy the official Bite Somebody soundtrack!<\/p>\n<p>1. \u201cPretty Woman\u201d \u2013 Roy Orbison<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lnRS3A_iIYg\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nWomen can be born pretty, but you got to feel pretty to really own it, which is something Celia takes time to learn in Bite Somebody. Not only is this the theme song for her favorite film (of the same name), but also it\u2019s a great little number for strutting around the house \u2026 or down the beach.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2. \u201cBad Reputation\u201d \u2013 Joan Jett<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LeYn_W14zTU\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nThis is Imogene\u2019s theme song. She has a Joan Jett look, and she\u2019s a bad ass who really doesn\u2019t care what anyone thinks. I\u2019ve been told I based Imogene on myself, but that\u2019s not entirely true. I do care what people think, sometimes too much. I\u2019d do well to take some advice from my boot-wearing bad girl and let people love me for who I am\u2014cranky, crazy, or not.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>3. \u201cJimi Thing\u201d \u2013 Dave Matthews Band<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G6niOBXwpo8\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nThis one\u2019s for Ian, a man who loves jam bands and weed. I grew up listening to DMB and, okay, there may have been some illegal substances involved. (I was just doing research.) I would be remiss to not acknowledge Dave as well as Ian\u2019s ability to look beyond the bad and see the good, the happy, in every situation, which I hope rubs off on you, too.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>4. \u201cOnce in a Lifetime\u201d \u2013 Talking Heads<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/98AJUj-qxHI\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nHave you ever asked yourself, \u201cHow did I get here?\u201d Celia asks herself that a lot, but we all do, and not always in a bad way. Sure, if you\u2019re, like, swimming with sharks, this is a valid question, but when you\u2019re in a healthy romantic relationship, the question is the same. How could I be so blessed to be here, right now, with this person?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>5. \u201cLet\u2019s Get It On\u201d \u2013 Marvin Gaye<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cqkwykA4iFw\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nLet\u2019s face it: Ian Hasselback is a sexy beast. Well, a nerdy, sexy beast. He makes my imaginary fangs go \u201cboing,\u201d and what better song than this to get things going right? We\u2019ve all met that person who makes us feel tingly, and although Celia has trouble learning to relax in the bedroom, once she does, there\u2019s no stopping her.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>6. \u201cEverything\u2019s Gonna Be All Right\u201d \u2013 Bob Marley<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zmwue6Jq4KA\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nThere is something so soothing about reggae, especially when it\u2019s Bob. There are a lot of crazy things that go down in Bite Somebody. A moment of peace is deserved. Part of what I love so much about Ian and Celia is their ability to soothe each other. That\u2019s what real love is: taking care of someone other than yourself and making them believe, no matter the \u201cDanny Situation,\u201d that everything will be okay.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>7. \u201cLet\u2019s Dance\u201d \u2013 David Bowie<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N4d7Wp9kKjA\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nMy brother sings this song for karaoke, and why wouldn\u2019t you? It\u2019s freakin\u2019 Bowie, the man who defined hot 80s androgyny. Dancing heals a lot of wounds. Think of it as dancing a demon off your back, which might be why Imogene dances with such fervor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>8. \u201cSleep\u201d \u2013 Phish<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nnqSbvaLMTk\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nIan taught Imogene how to enjoy his hippie music, hence the inclusion of one of the most soothing songs EVER. This is the kind of song you listen to on a beach, the waves crashing in and out, before wandering up a well-worn path and tucking yourself into your sand-strewn bed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>9. \u201cLovesong\u201d &#8211; The Cure<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hXCKLJGLENs\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nYeah, so Celia doesn\u2019t slow dance. Ian has no rhythm. Neither tendency is required for this 80s gem that just makes you want to sway. Even Imogene would get down to The Cure, although she\u2019d bust out some breakdance moves and put everyone else to shame. Despite the melancholy beats, this song is a reminder that the people you love can bring you back to life\u2014even if you\u2019re undead.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>10. \u201cSomeone to Love\u201d \u2013 Queen<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kijpcUv-b8M\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nNo man can sing like Freddie Mercury, and to have Freddie singing about love is right up there with A-positive blood. Celia wanted someone to love, and she found him. I guess that\u2019s what we\u2019re all looking for, and trust me: it\u2019s worth the wait. Keep searching; your Ian is out there, probably looking for you, too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1011\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corividae.com\/shiny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/BiteSomebody_final-1-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"BiteSomebody_final\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.corividae.com\/shiny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/BiteSomebody_final-1-200x300.jpg 200w, http:\/\/www.corividae.com\/shiny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/BiteSomebody_final-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.corividae.com\/shiny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/BiteSomebody_final-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, http:\/\/www.corividae.com\/shiny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/BiteSomebody_final-1.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Bite Somebody is available online:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1W0NVcD\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldweaverpress.com\/store\/p103\/Bite_Somebody.html\">World Weaver Press<\/a><\/p>\n<hr width=\"50%\" \/>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1012\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corividae.com\/shiny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Sara-Dobie-Bauer-Author-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Sara-Dobie-Bauer-Author\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>Sara Dobie Bauer<\/strong> is a writer, model, and mental health advocate with a creative writing degree from Ohio University.
