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 Jane Buckingham In the movie of my book A Lie For a Lie that runs in my head, this is the soundtrack that plays on repeat. In fact, whenever I needed to really get in the head of the characters these are the songs I listened to. I created A Lie for a Lie […] 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 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.

The Sierras are isolated, rural, stupefying in their majestic beauty, inspiring and somewhat […] More
by Alex Thornbury Music is an important inspirational part of my writing. When I drive to work, shops or school runs, I always listen to a rather unchanging playlist of around 100 songs. Maybe once every three years I revisit it and replace some of the more tired tunes. It is not as up to […] More
Growing up in Manhattan, I loved stomping about the streets with music blaring in my ears. I’d wear my leather motorcycle jacket, black boots, and my best pissed off face so people approaching on the sidewalk would step aside. My tunes rotated between the pounding anthems of Depeche Mode, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Faith […] More
When I was a young-er single mom of two little girls, I would burn CDs of the songs that made me feel good, or just take me back to a better place. I called them “Power Girl Tunes.” We had 4 CDs, and we played them in the car all the time. Mind you, my […] More
