Although this is a new song, the more I hear this beautiful song, the more I think of Bradley’s love for Natalia:

Ed Sheeran – Thinking Out Loud

The playlist below is the music I played in the background while I wrote The Magic of Black Forest:

1. Evanescence

• Bring Me To Life

When I was having difficulty I would listen to this song. This song best describes what they felt when they first saw each, before they actually met, before they even spoke to each other.

The moment he saw her, from across the road, before even meeting her… the very vision of her, ‘Woke him up inside.’

That same evening she saw him from across the bar for the first time, stirring up feelings she never knew exist… his sexy crooked smile, “Woke her up inside.’

Bradley and Natalia

Macy Farmer introduces Natalia Middleton, the heroine, in The Magic of Black Forest: Dreamlike State. The Magic of Black Forest is a series. Natalia tells her story throughout the first four books: Dreamlike State, Awakening, Fate, and Destiny.

Date of Birth: October 31st

Originally From: Lower Bucks County, Pa

Physical Description: A young woman with green eyes and long wavy brownish blonde hair with natural blonde highlights that flows, all one length, down past her mid-back. Wears make-up on special occasions but other than that prefers the natural look. Not a girly girl, Natalia’s nail are manicure free. She’s rather play in the mud than have her nails painted.

Special Talents: Has limited telepathy, psychic visions, and the ability to know when she met someone from one of her past lives. Strangely, with all this supernatural skills she doesn’t know the how, or even what ‘lifetime.’ When it came to men, her ability to see someone else’s thoughts by touching them left her inexperienced. Their impure thoughts always had her running away.

Family Members: Father-Joshua, mother-Lillian, her best friend Melissa and her dog, Seager.

Nick Names: Natty and Nat

Personal History: At the age of 24 is where Natalia’s story begins. Close to her parents, she lived in the apartment above their garage. Her limited telepathy gave her little desire to socialize with acquaintances or strangers. If she wasn’t at work, she was with Seager; the puppy she rescued from a local shelter, and Melissa; her best friend, or her parents. Tragically, her parents were killed by a drunk driver, turning her life upside down. After the funeral, Natalia couldn’t decide whether she should go on the four week vacation she had planned just months before. The need to escape had her packing her bags. With Seager by her side, she headed to Black Forest, Pennsylvania. It’s there, in Black Forest, where she is awakened inside, forever altering her life.
