I love music so much it kind of hurts. I can only really listen to it when I have someone to make out with because otherwise I feel like the emotions it brings up may make me explode. Know what I mean?
Almost every book I write has some form of a playlist. The music for LOVE IN THE TIME OF GLOBAL WARMING is dark, haunting, melancholy but hopefully, at least sometimes, somewhat hopeful. With a little help from my friends, here it is:
