I love it when indie authors help each other out. My friend Mary offered me a spot on her blog – read it here!

Hey all, To my surprise, Book Pinning (who I’ve had random conversations with on Twitter, I think my book covers were once spotlighted on their blog) contacted me about doing an author Q&A. It is now up and live, so check it out here! Thanks!
Music, for me, is like a conduit straight into the heart of the muse. Some people like writing or doing other activities in silence. I can’t. Whether it’s driving in the car, writing a book, or doing daily tasks, I need music.
For writing, I create a soundtrack for each book. It’s a mysterious process and I have no idea why some songs work and others don’t. That’s the beauty of music. It works or it doesn’t. In addition to a soundtrack, there is always *that one song* that gets me inspired.
For WATER’S BLOOD, the key song was Furnace Room Lullaby by Neko Case (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nBt_e9tzdQ)
For RAGING FIRE, the key song was “Try” by PINK. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdHCec23BKE)
For EARTHBOUND, the key song is “Demons” by Imagine Dragons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFQYaoiIFh8
What about y’all? What songs inspire you? Give you energy?
Well, I’m behind the times. I admit it. While I’ve had a personal account on Facebook for years, I had postponed creating an actual “page” for writing with writing/author updates. And now, in this digital age where Facebook is a key player, I can’t postpone any longer. Take a peek at my page, if you’re so inclined please give it a “Like!” and I will return the favor. Just message me with your page URL. Seems like Facebook and Twitter are rapidly becoming great ways for authors to connect with readers and other industry folks. As Tigger would say, Ta Ta for now!
