I write to music. My favorite thing in the world is creating playlists for my books! To keep it authentic I like to limit it to album size. So, no more than 10-15 songs per list. The playlist is made even before I put a word to the page; that way it can inspire me along the way. Each song is meant to instantly put me in the mood of the story. All of the playlists can be found on Spotify. Give it a listen!

While many authors create lists, my inspiration and joy derive from the great movie soundtracks of old. Shout out to … Prince for Purple Rain, Whitney Houston for The Bodyguard, or my personal favorite The Dirty Dancing Soundtrack. I still receive hours of enjoyment when I put those songs on. Now when I pick my songs I imagine them playing in a movie.
