Into The Fire playlist

Wow, as more than one reader has reminded me, this post is WAY overdue. Sorry about that! I plead Deadline Brain, which pushes a lot of things to the back burner in favor of the almighty word count, heh. Anyway, better late than never, right? Without further ado, here is the “playlist” of songs that I listened to while I wrote Into The Fire, the fourth and final Night Prince novel. Some of these songs, I also listened to when I wrote the first three Night Prince books. See? Who says I can’t be sentimental? ;).

Usual disclaimer: As many of you know, writing to specific music helps put me in the right frame of mind because I’m conditioning myself to write a particular story whenever I hear those songs (not saying this will work for every writer, but it works for me). That being said, there’s no hidden meaning for the book in these songs. Some of these songs are recommendations that you, readers, have given me, so thank you again! But, music tastes are as personal as reading tastes, so if you don’t like some of the bands/songs, no problem. Just please don’t tell me that I shouldn’t like them, because if a song/band is listed, then I do like it, and no arguing on your part will change my mind :).

Layout is artist name: songs. Artists are in alphabetical order for ease of listing, but this isn’t the order that I listened to while writing because I’m not that organized.
