Let me just say that yes, there will be announcements and a giveaway by the end of this post but let’s talk music for a moment. Oftentimes when I’m working on a story, songs will come into my head because they fit a particular character, theme or scene. I’ll take the time to write them down because sometimes it’s helpful to listen to them again, just before diving in to do edits, to get me back in the mood of the story. So here are some of the songs that kept my fingers dancing on the keyboard while working on The Trouble with Wanting, and Other Not-Quite Faerie Tales:
Overall collection mood:
Individual Stories:
The Trouble with Wanting:
Her Story:
What’s a Little Blood to a Mother’s
Heart?:
Just Perfect:
Make Mischief,
Not War:
Her Homesick Spirit:
Kindred Steel:

I couldn't resist adding a close-up of that ring.
