So in Outshined, my next book for Berkley, my heroine is a bass player and a songwriter. I love music and I love musicians but not everyone is the lead singer, not everyone plays lead guitar. The bass player lays down the beat, from funky to rocking. I like to think of Erin (my heroine) as similar to Jeff Ament from Pearl Jam with inspired moments of Less Claypool of Primus and maybe even some hard core action like Cliff Burton from Metallica – last but never least – The Ox – John Entwistle of The Who
Jeff Ament and Pearl Jam do the Who
Primus and Les Claypool
Cliff Burton (RIP) – For Whom The Bell Tolls – Metallica
Entwistle solo
