Music
The heart of my romantasy novel is music. It wouldn’t feel complete without a playlist! This was a huge project, but I couldn’t have enjoyed it more. Besides my dog, Clarence, music was a constant companion while writing this book. I challenged myself to find songs that felt like the story, whether through emotion, tone, rhythm, or lyrics. I chose four songs per chapter and they are all listed in chronological order. WHEW! I hope you can hear the story without reading a word (yet). I have a great admiration for musicians. They are true storytellers. Please remember to support them if you find a song you love. Get the Spotify app to hear the full songs. If you have ¨premium¨ they can be played in order…or each song can be found on YouTube.
P.S. – If you don´t prefer this style of music, I´ve highlighted the beautiful instrumentals with the corresponding track # in lavender. Don´t miss these!
***Also, the musicians and their songs in this playlist are not affiliated with me or my writing/novel in any way, shape, or form, (obvs).
