I know you get a lot of inspiration from music for your stories. Do you associate specific songs with chapters in addition to characters or just the overall tone/feel for the book? And would you ever share that with your readers - meaning post the playlist for that specific book and note which chapters they correspond with? It would make for an enhanced reading experience.

Hi Amy,
Thank you for your interest in our writing process. You are correct! A Lot of our inspiration comes from music. We each use it in different ways but we achieve the same purpose which is to enrich the chapter and characters with the right feel.
When I need to get under a character's skin, I listen to songs I associate with that character. I also listen to mood specific music to write scenes. A sensual scene has a completely different soundtrack than a suspense laden scene would.
We do have some of the characters' playlists on youtube and we also have songs we currently associate with the book(s) we are writing.
We both have Spotify accounts you can follow for the updated playlists.
Hope that answers your questions. :)
