Circle City Psychic Playlist

I always have a playlist for the books I write. Instrumental music for my epic fantasy books, but lots of lyrical songs for my urban fantasy. Some songs are shared across books in the same series, like “Werewolves of London” being a part of every Circle City Magic playlist I make. Some are theme songs for particular characters–“Unwell” and “S.O.B.” are Martin’s themes in this playlist, for example.

Several of the other songs are part of the playlist because they appear in the book–either appearing in passing or even pivotal to the action. There are a few songs that apply to more than one character. “All These Things That I’ve Done,” for example, could be seen from Martin’s POV as well as Lachlan’s POV.
