by R.K. Harrington A playlist can help a writer get in the zone and feel inspired; not to mention, playlists are just downright fun! When I was putting this list together for my debut novel Kindred Schemes, I could not settle on if I should provide a playlist that helped me write the book, or […] More
by Dheepa R. Maturi I’ve heard that, sometimes, you have to write the story you want to read. And I wanted to read a hopeful climate thriller about stopping an environmental disaster before it happens, not surviving it after the fact. In 108: an Eco-Thriller, Bayla learns she has an ancient ability that can avert […] More
By Kathe Koja SKIN is a novel that loves sound: the wrench and clang of metal, the hiss of water hitting iron, the murmurs and shrieks of an audience, the whisper of blood on the knife. So of course it needs a suitable playlist. Inspired by a reader’s question during the Meerkat Press launch, here’s […] More
By Bruce McCandless III Emily Carney and I wrote our book Star Bound: A Beginner’s Guide to the American Space Program, from Goddard’s Rockets to Goldilocks Planets and Everything In Between, with the aim of creating a space history for the rest of us. No complicated equations. No technospeak or rocket-talk. We focus instead on […] More
By Ari Rosenschein I began writing Dr. Z and Matty Take Telegraph in the dank, dark depths of November 2020 in Seattle, when the pandemic was in full swing, and no one knew what our collective future would hold. The thought of creating a book set anywhere near the current moment was abhorrent. Masks, temperature checks, Zoom […] More
by Melanie K. Moschella When writing my debut series I listened to the same playlist on repeat, and I think that a lot of the emotion in the songs made it into my books. If you can’t tell, I love indie music! It’s understated, heartfelt, and full of the aching tension every good Romantasy book […] More
by Sandra Waugh and Melanie Murray Downing Our middle-grade trilogy began as a lark—two authors in a writers group decided to co-author the sort of grand adventure they loved as children. The story needed a quirky, memorable, lovable heroine and an unlikely hero—not strong or confident or an overtly natural leader. Extra points if they […] More
by Glenn Miller In the novel Doorman Wanted, Henry Franken has a problem with money – he has too much of it. That’s the logline that occurred to me while I was in the final stages of writing this book about a doorman with money issues. Most people have money problems in that they don’t […] More
By Jim Wilson Music has always played a vital role in my life. In my book, Tuned In: Memoirs of a Piano Man, I describe how music became a lifeline to a diffident kid struggling to fit in. It was a gift of an old guitar, given to be me when I was seven by […] More

By Erin Carrougher In the heart of the Pacific Northwest lies Augland 54, a lavish theme park that serves as a playground for the privileged, and a prison for the less fortunate. The Suits indulge in the luxury of choosing their physical forms and living out their wildest fantasies. Meanwhile, the Suitless are confined to […] More
The title to my new adult romance novel, The Porn Star’s Daughter, explains a lot! It’s written about Tali, the daughter of…well…a porn star. Tali escapes Los Angeles, the epicenter of her mother’s world, and attends college in New Orleans with plans to leave her scandalous past behind. But what Tali wants isn’t what she […] More

by Angela Terry Although I prefer to write in silence, I love listening to music when I’m thinking about writing. A certain song can get me into a character’s head and their emotional state. And so one of my rituals when sitting down to write is to play my book’s “theme song” or maybe another […] More
