I listen to music when I write. Most of the time, what I listen to depends on which part of the story I'm working on or the mood of the day. Each book has a general theme, though. For books in the Family Lies series, I listen to a lot of rock and "angry" music and some country music. For Sometimes it is Rocket Science, it's usually a lot of old love songs (Rat Pack on repeat, much to my husband's consternation) and some Texas country. I adore Jamie Cullum and have been listening to him for Rocket Science, but this song seems more appropriate for the Ashwoods.
You know, when I read about Viola's 16th birthday I think about Faster Pussycat's House of Pain. I change the five years old and replace it with 16.
