Nectaria asked Heather Anastasiu:

When writing, do you ever listen to your favourite songs or a particular genre that inspires a chapter?

Heather Anastasiu Oh absolutely!!!! Let's see, when I was writing the Glitch series, I remember listening to Florence and the Machine's Heavy in your Arms a lot. And Sia's albums, especially that song Breathe Me - not for the lyrics so much as just the feel of the music. Florence and the Machine's album whole album was on repeat a lot for writing Override. And Shutdown, hmm, let me think, what was I listening to then? I like to put on System of a Down during the fight scenes since it was all so chaotic and crazy and I like to hype myself up and put myself in that mindset. During the tender moments I'd put on Dario Marianelli's fabulous soundtracks to the Pride and Prejudice or Jane Eyre movies.
