Novel Soundtracks

I don’t know about any of you, but when I write, or re-read my writing, I play it through my mind like a movie – music included… obviously! For me, there are scenes I just can’t seem to complete without music. It really sets the mood. In my writing, you’ll notice how often I add music to the scene whether it’s in the background at a noisy bar, during a crazy karaoke session, or in a small diner. I’m often referring to the music to help set the scene.
While I was poking around another author’s website, I noticed that she had a section of “Book Soundtracks.” I thought it was a fantastic idea! Soundtracks don’t need to be limited to movies! I think they help spice up the writing and give the tone of your book that extra little something you might be looking for. After the release of each book, I hope to compile a list of all the music in each one.
What songs and artists have you included in your writing?
