Book 2 PLAYLIST


Like many writers, I’ve typically have music playing in the background while I write.

Even when I taught writing in high school and junior high, I would have music going on in the background. Even now, I put music on while students are working on projects, writing speeches, or reading. Yes, there are cd’s specifically for reading—soft instrumental music.

I’ve now started creating play lists for my books.

For BOOK 2 of the Children of Atlantis series (sorry, not revealing the title yet), I’ve started a list of music that fits the characters and theme. 

This is not a complete list and I’m constantly adding and dropping songs.
