One of the things I do while writing is listen to music. And for each project, I have a different sound, a different feel that helps me get into the mood of the characters, the setting, the world. For my lesbian epic fantasy, I listened to a lot of sweeping movie scores like Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, Lord of the Rings, and and a lot of Two Steps From Hell, who do epic-sounding fighty music. I wanted Circuit Fae to have a different feel, more fluid and wild, more moder
