SILENT ECHO [http://www.elisafreilich.com/]
comes out September 10th from Diversion Books and it's not your typical
fantasy: Sirens, Music, and Prophecies! Oh, and romance!
Music that inspired me during the creation of Silent Echo: A
Siren’s Tale
For those of you who have already visited my site, you’ll see
that music is not only a huge part of Silent Echo, but it really is the
foundation upon which SE was built. The playlist that is featured on my
site is one of songs (other than the ones I created) which are referenced in
the actual book.
But what about the music that shapes the writer? The
music to which I sing along in the car and then say to myself, “God, if Portia
were to reveal a hint of that vibe in her personality…” or “Yes!
That’a exactly the kind of turmoil Max is feeling inside!”. That is
a whole different playlist. Here are a few of said songs. Songs
that move me. That I flip around in my mouth until every last bit of
flavor has been extracted. Songs that really drive me to write and to
extract all of life’s flavors as well: (fair warning – the list is
eclectic to say the least)
Mumford & Sons: My Lover’s Eyes
Brett Dennen: Ain’t No Reason
Joshua Radin: You Got Growing Up to Do
Jason M’Raz: You F’ing Did It
The Charlie Daniels Band: The Devil went down to Georgia (I
love a song that tells a story)
The Cranberries: Dreams
Edie Brickell & New Bohemians: What I am
Eminem: Square Dance (AAAAAA Love Eminem!!!!)
Erasure: Yahoo!
Fleetwood Mac: Second Hand News
Florence & the Machine: Drumming Song
Howard Jones: No One is to Blame
Eddie Vedder: Hard Sun
Indigo Girls: Closer to Fine
Elton John: Mona Lisas & Mad Hatters
The list goes on and on. Much like Portia, I have a
ridiculous number of songs in my iTunes. But the only time I’m not
listening to them is when I’m actually writing. Otherwise, pump up the
volume, if you please…

About Elisa:
Elisa Freilich has enjoyed a love affair with language from her
earliest days. Raised in rural Monsey, New York, Elisa spent her days reading
whatever crossed her path and developing a keen appreciation for the
ever-present music in her home – from classical to rock. French lessons and
creative writing workshops complemented her adolescence, which was also greatly
enhanced by a summer spent abroad at Cambridge University. From the time she
could read and write, Elisa could often be found composing poems, song lyrics
and satirical newspapers.
After her college years at Boston University, Elisa continued
her creative pursuits, working as a junior VP of Marketing at a corporate
graphic design agency and, later, as an interior decorator. Eventually, Elisa
left the workforce to raise her family, in her now hometown of Englewood, NJ.
Throughout the years, Elisa has retained her devotion to all
genres of books and music and was determined to synthesize her passions into
one refreshing and original platform. The result is her debut novel, SILENT
ECHO: A Siren’s Tale, which will be published by Diversion Books in Summer
2013. With her own lyrical style, Elisa has created a world that young adults
around the globe will find intensely gripping and refreshingly original.
When Elisa is not writing, her creative outlets still abound.
She is fierce with a set of knitting needles, a hot glue gun and any
ingredients that can somehow be fashioned into a sinful and highly caloric
babka.
