Kyra Davis’s Literary Soundtrack

Kyra Davis, author of Release for Passion, stops by with her literary soundtrack: 1) The soundtrack to your latest book (what did you listen to while you were writing it?) : I didn’t listen to any particular artist or CD when writing Passion Betrayal And Killer Highlights. I usually listen to the radio when I’m writing and then every half hour or so the DJ will play a song that I’m seriously into at which point I’ll get up and dance around my house until it’s over. Then I’ll sit back down at my computer, freshly energized and ready...

Sara Rosett’s Literary Soundtrack

Next stop on the Girlfriends’ Cyber Circuit: Sara Roset, author of Moving is Murder, which involves air force life and domestic rerouting. The soundtrack to your latest book (what did you listen to while you were writing it?): Silence. I’m one of those people who have to have it quiet when I write, so no music for me! Well, I take that back. I listened to the muted sounds of kid’s television as I wrote. As long as I was in another room from the TV I managed to churn out quite a few words with the credits of...

Our delightful Mongolian babysitter came over last night, and Kevin & I went to dinner at The Elite Cafe, an old cajun-style restuarant on Fillmore. It’s worth a trip for the Meetinghouse Biscuits and b-b-q shrimp alone, and they make this great cocktail with Pimm’s and a slice of cucumber that, to me, tasted like home (Mobile, AL) with a kick, like a slightly spiced iced tea concoction easy on the sugar. From there we went to see Lloyd Cole at The Great American Music Hall. The first time Kevin and I saw him together was nine years ago...

Girlfriends’ Cyber Circuit member Shanna Swendson stopped by to reveal her literary soundtrack for Once Upon Stilettos, just out from Ballantine. Read more about the book at Shanna’s website or on her blog. I don’t usually listen to music when I’m actually writing because I find it too distracting, but I do often make a “soundtrack” of songs that remind me of elements in the book that I listen to when I’m not actually writing to help stir my brain. Some songs from this book’s soundtrack include: “Under Your Spell” from the Once More With Feeling (the Buffy musical)...

Alison Pace’s Literary Soundtrack

May 25, 2006

Okay, so Alison Pace is my kinda girl. Not only does she have a literary soundtrack for her new novel, Pug Hill; she’s actually created a Pug Hill imix on itunes (and she’s not afraid to include Rod Stewart and The Cure on the same playlist). If you like the tunes you see below, just go to the imix section and search Pug Hill. Throughout my novel, my protagonist Hope often hears music playing her head. She also hopes that once again she’ll meet a man who will make her a mix-tape. So I made her one. Herewith “The...
