My most recent book, ABRA CADAVER, has a Celtic flavor. The
hero, Keane Malson, is a cursed Celtic warrior who spends his days bringing
people back from the dead, killing demons to keep his saves alive, and staying
with his saves until they do something important for the world. His life is
boring, tedious, and stuck. He would much rather have died an honorable death
on the battlefield surrounded by his men, but his brother sought the help of a
witch to bring him back to life. As with all magic, you must be prepared to
give back after you take. There must always be a balance. And so, poor Keane
gets cursed with the abra cadaver and now faces an eternity of saving, killing,
and waiting.
Until he meets schoolteacher Holly Brimmer.
When I was writing ABRA CADAVER, I listened to a great deal
of Celtic, Scottish, and medieval music. I thought I would share some of my
favorites with you so you could enjoy them as well. I find that music really
inspires me. It allows me to drown out the day-to-day distractions that would
otherwise keep me from writing. When the headphones are on, that means the
author is at work!
Click on anyone of the band titles to be taken to their
websites to listen to their work.
- Medieval Baebes – Classy, beautifully, and just a little Wiccan.

- Albannach – Scottish music goes punk, and they wear kilts!
<!--[endif]-->
- Rune – A band local to my area
These are just a few, but enough to give you a good
sampling. My suggestion: Type these into Pandora.com and find more bands that
sound similar. You’ll be entertained for hours and maybe want to write a little
something yourself.

I really liked the Medieval Baebes. And since the heroine in my WIP is currently sitting in jail, accused of being a witch, a little Wiccan flavor seem appropriate! Thanks, Chris!
I love to write with music too. The music depends on the story. I'll have to listen to Medieval Baebes. Sounds interesting.
Thanks for sharing!! Loved them all. And I enjoyed the premise of your book. Sounds like a great read.
