Music is a huge part of how I write. It inspires, it evokes a mood, it can transport me anywhere I need it to. When writing each of the novels, they developed their own playlists. These are songs that thematically follow the story and events as they play out.
I have a public playlist for each of them on Spotify, which you can listen to (links are below). I have listed the tracks and artists as well here, as well as links to the individual playlists. I've now added my new one for the WIP of the 4th installment of COJ! - This may change as I write so you can see the evolution.
Until 2024, there had not been a song that I felt connected to all the stories - that was until Nightwish released Perfume of the Timeless. That song spoke to me in ways I cannot put into words (ironic, I know!). It also sent me tumbling back into this world after almost four years away, and I am now creating the fourth novel.
If you want to hear the song that, for me, sums up this crazy ride it is this one….
