Write Tunes
Mood music for fiction: (THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS!)
When I was a teenager I wondered why life didn’t come with a soundtrack like the ones at the movies. Gags are funnier when funny music is playing. Love more stirring, tense moments more frightening when there’s creepy music humming in the background. I still think it would be fun if we all had a personal soundtrack running behind our every move. I can’t make that happen, but I can suggest some wonderful ditties for you to listen to while reading Talking to the Dead. I hope you enjoy them. And if you run across a song you love that you think would fit the soundtrack, please drop me a line and let me know about it!
