Music has always been a huge influence on my writing. In the mid '90's I wrote my first vampire novel, titled "Love's Timeless Melody" influenced by the song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler.  I never published this book, and eventually, I changed the name to "In Darkness Deceived." Many revisions later and many years gone by, I tore this book apart (figuratively) and gave Kesi her own story, which became "Sands of Time." The video to the left is a great rendition of a Queen song that has always been  very influential to me. The video itself is even better. Often, when my muse is missing, I play this video, and it returns.
