Steph asked Rachel Caine:

HELLOOOOO Rachel!!! My name is Steph and at the moment I am currently reading your Morganville Vampires series and I am enjoying it so far. I am almost finished Bitter Blood. I was wondering, how do you come up with the playlist of songs that inspire each book? I always look forward to seeing which songs inspired you to see if I know any of them. Also, Myrnin is probably my favourite character :D

Rachel Caine Hi, Steph, thanks! The playlist of songs is a bit of an obsession with me ... that's the first thing I do when I'm starting a book is begin to audition songs, to put myself in the right mood for the work. I take a couple of days to build a playlist of at least 10 to 15 songs, and then I keep searching as I write the book for more songs to carry me through. It not only keeps me entertained and engaged, but it also keeps me up-to-date on new music, which is awesome fun.

Myrnin is definitely tied for my favorite, too. Such a fun character to write!
