1. What type of play list did you have for this book?
The playlist for Curtis contained 71 songs in total. Everyone from Patsy Cline to Nathaniel Rateliff. It consisted of all country music because that was what the book warranted.
2. Were there certain songs that moved you more than others during this book?
I think I was drawn to S.O.B. by Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats and Riot by Rascal Flatts the most. The book was very emotional in every sense, so a lot of the songs were emotional. As for S.O.B. – that song makes me think of Curtis.
3. Did any song help inspire any part of the book or a scene?
Withdrawals by Tyler Farr – this song inspired an entire section of the book. If you read it, I get the feeling you’ll know which one.
4. How does music in general play into your book writing?
The music is always in the background. Before I start writing a book, I find songs that remind me of the characters. Sometimes I’ll nix a song and find something else if the book warrants it. A few times, I’ve put a song on repeat when I’m writing a specific scene. Music is about feeling, it inspires emotion and being able to channel that when I write is helpful in so many ways.
5. Have you ever had a story or a character come to you from a song?
Yes, actually. It’s happened to me twice. Oddly enough, I can’t think which songs they were though, but I remember the moment when it hit me. Once I was in Target, the other time we were driving in the car. I have Shazam on my phone and anytime I hear a song that I love, I get the details – it’s a fabulous app for music lovers.
