Music doesn’t just inspire my writing—it instigates it.
One night I was listening to Sleep Token, heard the chorus “The night comes down like Heaven,” and my brain said, “Cool. Guess I’ll start an angelic rebellion, a cosmic love story, and an existential war.”
That line became the seed for When Heaven Fell.
Then another song (that I absolutely cannot remember—thanks, shuffle mode) decided to expand it into a six-book multiverse that all collides in The Immortal War: When Realms Collide.
So yes, music inspires me. But it also keeps tricking me into writing new universes. At this point, my Spotify should probably get co-author credit.
