I think in pictures, and when I listen to music, my brain makes up and plays movies for me. Many times I've been stuck on a scene, and all it took to unstick me was the right song.

Each book, character, and sometimes individual scenes have playlists. You can check them out here. https://www.youtube.com/@theworldsofj...

From Earth to Eritide: The Story Behind Splinter of Destiny

So, what’s the deal with Splinter of Destiny?

Where did the idea come from?

Why did it take so long to write?

Why does it have a “previously published” disclaimer?
