PLAYLISTS
Music has always been a big part of my writing inspiration. Whether it’s certain songs or a genre which evoke a type of mood to help me write a key moment, scene or chapter, or if it’s simply being played in the background while I write – it’s ever present. Music is life!
This page is for all the great music that inspires, enlivens, and moves me, no matter what I’m writing.
