Author Interview and Playlist for End of the Road by Karen Michelle Nutt:
Tell us a bit about yourself. Where are you from, and what are your interests?
I reside in California and have lived here all my life. I’ve been married for thirty-four years and have three fascinating children who are grown now and have started their own adventures in life. I have a houseful of pets, four dogs and three cats. I love to travel, and if it’s available, I’ll take a ghost tour in each place I visit. I like to watch old movies at home as much as I enjoy going to the cinema and seeing the movies on the big screen.
Tell us about your latest book.
End of the Road is the second book in my Rock Star Romance books.
End of the Road is a ghost story, mystery, and a romance.
Lars Gunner, the frontman for Silent Plaids, died 23 years ago and his death was ruled an unfortunate accident. Despite the fact he can’t recall what happened to him in his last moments of life, he is convinced he was murdered. He has been trapped in limbo until his daughter, Cecilia, unearths his journal and can see him. She seeks help from Kaleb, a psychic, but as they resurrect the past, the secrets and lies surrounding Lars’ rock and roll life just may be the death of them too.
Two Worlds Collided is the first book in the series. Each story is a standalone tale, and they can be read in any order.
What are you working on now?
End of the Road is in production and will soon be offered at Audible. Kelly Jackson is the talented narrator.
I’m also working on Heart and Soul, another rock star romance.
How do you spend your free time?
During the summer, I spend my time at concerts. I like to support the local bands as well as enjoying the ‘Concerts in the Park’ tribute bands. My friends and I have a blast.
Do you listen to music when you write?
I sometimes listen to music for inspiration, but I never listen to music while I’m writing. I must have silence so I can hear my characters’ voices. Lol However, for my rock star romances, the chapter titles are titles to songs. So here is the playlist for End of the Road. Play them loud and enjoy!

End of the Road Reviews:
“A very heartwarming and emotional story, “End of the Road,” will tug at readers’ heartstrings. It is an unusual story; the plot is unique, with well-written and dynamic characters. The characters are diverse, and their personalities work well together, making for a great story. Karen Michelle Nutt has written a book filled with emotion, and there are times when the story will bring several tears to the eye, a mix of sadness, happiness, and loss. It is rare to find a book that can stir up so many feelings. “End of The Road” does just that. A perfect read for sitting in front of the fire on a snowy night with a cup of hot chocolate.” ~ InD’tale Magazine~ (4 1/2 stars/ Crown Heart Review)
The relationship between Lars and his daughter is so bittersweet. He wanted to be with her and how much he missed her. The reader is also informed on the difference between ghosts and spirits. I would recommend this book to all my friends, it’s full of love, mystery, a touch of paranormal, and misunderstandings. ~Emily Carrington’s Blog~ (Five Stars)
I laughed, I was curious as to see if I was right and the culprit was who I thought it would be (and it was, so maybe it’s not heavy on the whodunit, but WHO CARES, it’s so bloody enjoyable!!!), and my eyes misted a couple of time. ~Viviana MacKade~ (5 Stars)
Wow. Just wow. I’m not even sure where to begin with this book. This is the second of this author’s books that I’ve read, and I have to say that I was just as blown away this time as the last. She has a way of weaving such a fabulous tale with well-developed characters, humor, and realistic relationship in the middle of fanciful plots. ~ Up’ Til Dawn Book Blog~ (5 Stars)
