After spending my teens with the creative fulfillment of writing, I started making music. I spent my 20s in 4 different local bands, writing the lyrics, playing bass and sometimes attempting to sing. Music has always been a huge inspiration to me, and this was never truer than when writing.
This is what I call the Imperatora Playlist. They are the songs that I listen to on repeat while writing the series, those that capture the feeling of the books. It's a playlist I'm actively curating and will continue to add new music to as time goes.
I'm also keeping it as consistent as possible. As much as I enjoy Arch Enemy or the new Lady Gaga tunes—and those provide my inspiration too—it would make for an awkward mix to add them to this list.
You'll notice there are quite a few songs from Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous on here. I played through this masterpiece four times while writing Imperatora. The soundtrack is out of this world. But I digress...
To my fellow Fantasy and Music lovers, enjoy!
