Soundtrack that inspired a telepath

Music is integral in my writing process, so much so that I create a playlist for each story that I write. If ever I feel lost and can't find my way back to the character I can get back on track simply by hitting play.

Below is the playlist that inspired 'The Girl in the Fog' which I hope you'll enjoy and I recommend listening while reading.
