Jill Tracy
I mentioned before that music is a huge part of the writing process for me. I find inspiration and encouragement in music, but it can’t be just any music, it has to fit the theme. I’m not going to be listening to Lisa Loeb and trying to write a vampire/monster story. It doesn’t work. The other day, I found something new, something I have absolutely fallen in love with!
If you’re into darker more macabre music, I highly recommend Jill Tracy. Her music is fantastic. Her lyrics are on the darker, more sinister side, set to piano. So far, “The Fine Art of Poisoning” is my favorite, followed by “Evil Night Together.” Check it out.
The Fine Art of Poisoning:
Evil Night Together (Not an official music video but a vid someone else put together. Very well done in my opinion):
If you’re still interested, you can listen to a few of her other pieces at her Myspace page. I am absolutely in love with her music! It’s so dark and her voice is so beautiful! My birthday is in July and I’m going to try to get my mom or my husband to get me a few of her CDs!
Enjoy!

Hey Kristyn, I’m loving this blog, awesome videos, both of them, I like interesting music, something other then the 3 chord pop.

Hi Bob!! I like it too and I’m glad you enjoyed it. I enjoy pop from time to time, but I really like the more unusual music. Thanks for the compliment, I’m glad you like the blog. I like it too!

I don’t know why, but David Cook’s older pre-Idol stuff has really made the writing process on my latest vamp novel flow much more smoothly. Especially his cover of Radiohead’s “Creep.”
I think it’s his voice… it’s all dark and emo in that song, it just fit my vamp hero perfectly.
