My Legal Thrillers Have a Soundtrack

 While writing, I often create playlists to set the tone for a scene—moody blues for tense courtroom moments, driving rock for action sequences, and quiet piano for reflective scenes.

For Fatal Verse, country ballads were on repeat. For Ex Parte, it was cinematic scores with a spy-thriller edge.

Music helps me find the emotional core of a chapter and keep the pacing tight.
