I decided to do something fun

Sometimes I stumble upon an idea that I just love, and then my mind won't let go till it's done. That is what happened with the short stories collection that I released around Christmas...I am knee deep in the prequel for The Soul of the Stacks but my brain wanted to write a Waystation Christmas story...so I did...and then I wrote two others because I could.

Fast forward, I am still working on the first draft of the prequel. I have roughly 80% of it done and you would think that would make me want to push forward harder than anything else. However, I stumbled upon a thing I have never heard of, which was music albums that accompany the book, like if you were just listening to background music that went along with moments in the book like a movie album. Then...I found Suno and became slightly addicted to making music on there.

So hence The Soul of the Stacks narrative companion album was born. All of it is instrumental except for one song which is Nora's theme, that felt appropriate because I needed to be able to communicate her role, who she was, and who she became in The Soul of the Stacks in one song...and I think I did a great job with the help of Suno.

Not all the songs are up yet because YouTube is "verifying" I am a person and would only allow so many uploads at one time unverified. However I wanted to announce it here and give the YouTube album link in case I don't get back to this blog in time to update it.
