Broken Souls and Bones playlist
Listen along to the music that inspired LJ to create the world of Broken Souls and Bones.
LJ Andrews
Music is huge in my writing. I listen to music constantly. It kind of plays like a movie in my head as I do it … I go for a lot of walks and kind of get in the vibe, in the zone, and then I sit down and think about it, and then build out that way. But definitely, if I hear a song or a lyric, sometimes it just gives me a whole scene.
“Drums of Drakkar” by Amoebacrew inspired a specific scene in the book.
LJ Andrews, quoted in Salt lake tribune
I had created the whole scene of when Lyra actually goes into this stone gate royal fortress. I imagine these gates opening, it’s super intimidating, and they’re beating their drums. It was just from that sound that created that entire scene.
