Every author I know has music that inspires them.  I'm certainly no exception.  If you read my books, you know music and musicians inspire more than anything or anyone else.  Here are a few of my biggest inspirations.

 

 

New Minstrel Revue, the only musicians I've seen more often than Rick Springfield. Their amazing song, "Thank you for Asking," helped build TWO novels, Fresh Ice and A Hero's Spark.  And I doubt I have to explain where Collier James came from!

I doubt there would BE A Hero's Spark if it weren't for James Durbin, and Frech Ice's "Quinn Murray" would not have had a theme song if it weren't for "Deeper."

I'm a child of the 80's, so OF COURSE I'm a fan.  But Rick's albums of the last ten years have inspired my writing far more than a million plays of" Jessie's Girl."

Sine the late 1980's, when all other piano solo fans were swooning to George Winston, I was in love wtih Yanni.  I still pop "Care to Dream" in when I'm feeling blue.

I picked up John Tesh's "Rhapsody" in a used bookstore and fell in love with his music.  I've liked his mild words of everyday wisdom on the radio, but it's his music that gave ne a quirk for my newest character, Nora Hill, a woman who finds lost children, loves piano music, and can't reconize her own face in a mirror.  Just wait until THAT book series comes out late 2014!
