Every blockbuster movie has an epic soundtrack. Most books do as well. Usually an author associates inspiring tunes with certain characters or scenes.

And that's what I've been working on this week.

CAPTIVE OF THE HEART takes place in 1770 in Colonial North Carolina. It's kind of a beauty and the beast type story, with a penniless English woman forced into a marriage with a rough and tumble American. What kind of music would you choose to ramp up your creative juices for a story like that?

I listened to folk, Native American, new age, and Americana and came up with a playlist. See what you think. . . (oh yeah, and if you don't have Spotify, sign up because it's free and it's way better than Pandora)
