Soundtracks
The original version of my website included lists of the music I was listening to when I wrote each of my novels. This was a popular feature, but by the time I wrote The Mirage, a combination of middle age and streaming-service-fueled nostalgia meant I’d stopped discovering enough new music to make a truly fresh playlist every time. Below are links to the archived soundtracks, complete with younger me’s snarky commentary.
