On Wednesday, author Roz Morris is hosting a guest post from me in her Undercover Soundtrack series of writers talking about how we use music in our writing. She’ll post a playlist of the pieces I mention in that post, but it’s not the same as the playlist for All That Is Necessary, so I figured I’d give you guys a sneak peek and post that, including links to the songs on YouTube. Some are for scenes, some for characters, some for the whole book. Questions about how and why I’m using them welcome in the comments.
