Even if that seems COMPLETELY antithetical to the book.

For some of my books, I feel like it's important to share the soundscape that shaped the writing!

I'm agnostic when it comes to genre. Today, I listened to 1920s/30s jazz (guess which WIP has that soundtrack). I also listen to pop, rock, punk, rap, j-pop, EDM, classical ... you name it, I've probably listened to it as a writing soundtrack.

I'm Cherry (she/her), currently writing one m/m shifter romance, finishing up post-copy edit revisions on another, and doing pre-edit revisions on a historical angel/demon murder mystery romance ... thing (it's complicated). So much editing. Send help.
