BETH BROWER'S SOUNDTRACK FOR

THE Q

WHEN I BEGIN A BOOK the story always comes first. But then I start paying attention to what music reaches out towards my story, and towards the characters, what songs seem to belong with the words. A few of these songs I find in the process of the first draft, most the second or third, and some are found and added during the seventh or ninth! Finding ties between my writing and the music I love is a significant thing for me, even more so when a character picks the songs themselves. And I can't tell you how it engages my heart. It's a very real, deep meeting of mediums.

SPOILER ALERT: I have tried to be vague enough, but specific enough, so that the readers know what scene or chapters the song ties to. I would recommend you reading the book before continuing. 

ALSO:  I have created a Spotify play list (you can find it here) and am in the process of trying to embed said playlist on this page. But it hasn't been working so I'm trouble shooting it. Will be linked up to Spotify soon.

The soundtrack is below. Cheers!
