Music is a big part of my life and many of my books have musical connections. Some have a ballad as a theme, others have characters who are musicians or play an instrument. When I write, music is either playing in my head or beside me and so it informs my writing in that manner as well. It has always been my hope to share the music with my readers so that it's possible for them to hear the music as they read, or just on its own. Below you will find the links to download the music, arranged under the title of the book it's connected with.

I will continue to add to this library so be sure and check back regularly for new recordings!
