Darkness Before the Light

I mentioned a few blogs ago that I was working on a soundtrack for Journey through Darkness, so I thought I might take a moment to share how I came about deciding to work on a soundtrack for my first novel.

First of all, I’ve always had a passion for music since I was a little girl. My dad bought me this really old Casio keyboard that I played daily. It was a tiny, ugly, heavy, white instrument with bulky keys and only ten instruments to choose from. But I loved the thing. It was my pride and joy. The light-up keys taught me how to play Beatle’s tunes and Disney theme songs. Eventually I graduated to a larger and more attractive Yamaha, but due to some personal family issues I lost it. As a result I stopped playing for about 15 years. I began concentrating more on my painting and writing.

Well, about two years ago I was browsing amazon.com where I found an inexpensive Yamaha very similar to the one I had as a teenager. I bought it for Christmas and started playing every day. But it was still somewhat of a toy instrument and I wanted the real thing so I got a Casio Workstation that I am completely in love with. 

To make a long story short…it was that Casio Workstation that inspired me to work out tracks for a soundtrack. I had almost forgotten how much I loved music and I realized that music would enhance my novel in the way it does movies and other forms of artistic expression. I didn’t know hardly any authors that had soundtracks to accompany their novels so I thought it was a nice idea.

Darkness Before the Light: The Journey through Darkness Soundtrack is now available for free listening at an all new networking site.
