Music is the muse!
I am far from being musically inclined but that hasn’t stopped me from finding inspiration while jamming out to a great song on the radio! I typically write with my Pandora ap blaring out of my phone and have been known to post my playlists after wrapping up a book. Payable On Death was no exception. In fact, this book went a little further. Music really did spur the idea for the Jax and her world.
I’ll never forget the moment the idea came to me. Driving down I-95, the radio turned up as usual, a song called Heaven Knows by The Pretty Reckless came on and the idea hit me like a thunderbolt. Now, I’d heard this song probably a hundred times before on the radio but for some reason that day was different. By the time the first chorus hit I’d had a beginning, middle and an end laid out.
Now, that doesn’t mean we didn’t take a detour along the way because I’m also a pantser, which for those of you not familiar with the term, means I write by the seat of my pants. My characters often make a left when I planned on taking a right.
Writing Payable On Death and discovering this new world and all its characters has been a blast! I hope you love Jax and all her cohorts as much as I do!
