Do you have a Thunderstone Playlist? Ask the Author Wednesday

In some of the books I read, the author includes a playlist that they listened to while writing the story. I don’t listen to anything while I write. If I play music I know, I want to sing along and I get distracted by the lyrics. However, if Thunderstone had a soundtrack, it would have to be by the band Incubus. So many of their songs can apply to the story – I even started a list of which songs could be used for certain scenes. Maybe I’ll get back to it and post the “Thunderstone Soundtrack”, but for now, just to catch the essence, listen to Quicksand off of Light Grenades by Incubus. Here are the lyrics:

 Ok…now the monster is awake

It won’t rest until there’s nothing left

Maybe ever and anon

I forget about the pain

Someone bending light comes along

and flowers lean towards the sun

Some people fall in love and touch the sky

Some people fall in love and find Quicksand

I hover somewhere in between…I swear…

I can’t make up my mind

Seriously? It’s like they wrote it for me…
