Music for my stories
(This post has existed before now, but I bumped it after editing. New songs have been added to BYOD)
Just a little something for your listening pleasure as you read. Some of these songs inspired me to write parts of the stories or informed the way I wrote them, and others I just think tie in nicely. They are mostly grouped in order of relevance to the plot of the story.
All links are to YouTube and will open in a new window.
