I love music.  I have music playing on my headphones probably about 75% of the time during a normal day.  I not only love to listen to music, but I also love to play it too, and I am known to pick up my guitar or my flute whenever the fancy strikes.  Therefore, I think it's no surprise that music plays a part of my writing as well.  I love to create playlists as I develop a story, finding just the right sound to set the mood for a scene.  So, in honour of today being the first year anniversary of my debut novel, All That Compels the Heart, I've decided to share the playlist that kept me motivated while writing the novel.  So, without further ado, here is my novel soundtrack for All That Compels the Heart:
