Neil Finn is the soundtrack to my writing life. Almost every major character has a song penned by him–whether as Crowded House or The Finn Brothers or as just himself. I hear the song and I think about the character and the story…I’ve tried other musicians and bands, but nobody else quite captures my writing world.

“Wherever You Are” on One Nil for Fran
“Nails in My Feet” on Together Alone for Paul
“Mood Swinging Man” on Finn for Alvaro
“Walked Her Way Down” on Time on Earth for Mercie
“Not the Girl You Think You Are” on Recurring Dream also for Mercie

…just a few…

—and do you see the sunlight in Neil’s hair? Be still my adjective-loving heart!!!
