Author Kerry Adrienne Uses Duran Duran Song As Inspiration For New Novella, "Before the Rain"

    ATLANTA, GA, August 14, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Multi-genre author Kerry Adrienne brings music to life in her new novella "Before the Rain." This novella, releasing August 7, is part of an anthology which contains multiple stories by various authors inspired by the songs of the successful 80s band, Duran Duran. In "Before the Rain," Adrienne takes you to a post-apocalyptic world where the hero must serve as escort to a mysterious assassin. They must learn to trust each other while their world is crumbling around them. Adrienne will be signing Come Undone: Romance Stories Inspired by the music of Duran Duran as well as various of her other works at the Authors After Dark Romance Convention.

A different song by Duran Duran inspired every novella in Come Undone. In Adrienne's case, her inspiration for "Before the Rain" comes from the song of the same title. "The melody is haunting and felt very post-apocalyptic to me. I wondered how difficult it would be to find love in such a world," Adrienne states.

Kerry Adrienne has written fifteen novels to date in Romance, SciFi, Horror, and Paranormal to name a few with unusual settings where she has freedom to explore the world that surrounds her characters.

Adrienne's main characters are the polar opposite. She faced a bit of a challenge writing her female protagonist and explains "Allana was the most difficult character to write because the whole story is in Maddox's point of view, so showing Allana through his eyes was complicated." She describes her most recent hero, Maddox, as "tough, yet sensitive. He's strong and capable of carrying on a deep conversation" and describes her story as "an assassin and escapee story. It's set in a post-apocalyptic world where the rain machines won't shut off."

Kerry Adrienne will be taking part in Authors After Dark Romance Convention, an annual event with an open-to-the-public signing, panels, receptions, and parties where readers can connect with their favorite authors. This convention will be taking place August 12-16, 2015 at the Sheraton Atlanta in Atlanta, Georgia. Adrienne will be participating in several panels including Werewolves at 10:00 A.M., Erotic Romance 101: A Beginner's Guide at 11:00 A.M., and LGBT Reader Roundtable at 4:00 P.M. on August 13. On August 14, Adrienne will be participating in Sex vs. Love in Erotic Romance at 11:00 A.M., M/M Romance at 1:00 P.M., and Erotic Romance Readings at 2:00 P.M. and the signing on August 15.
