Did you notice a little addition to the sidebar on the left? Ahem. That’s right—there is now an official “Chasing Shadows” tab. That means that I’ve added the playlist, summary, and, soon to come, all the blog interviews I’ve been and will be doing.
Next to writing, music is the other half of my life; it speaks what sometimes cannot be spoken or conveyed through words. I always listen to themed music when I’m working hard on the ivory keys—actually, I can’t play piano, but it sounds cooler than “keyboard”—to really get me into a scene. The songs below are ones that I religiously listened to while writing one of my favorite stories (my sisters were fairly sick of these songs by the time I penned the last page). So, when you’re reading “Chasing Shadows,” be sure to give these songs a listen to put you in the moment.
