I never considered I might make a career out of writing as I was going to school, so when I did turn my attentions that way, I was very ill prepared, having only what I read as a guide, and no formal training whatsoever.

Music moves society more than most people realize. In my opinion, it’s a soft manipulator of influence and change. Kim Harrison Read Quote
I’ve found that when I’m having trouble solidifying a character or a scene, that music will often free my subconscious just that last little bit to allow me to move forward, and often it’s in a direction that I didn’t expect, but is 100 percent true to the character. Kim Harrison Read Quote
Teens like a lot of the same things adults do: smart people doing amazing things against awful odds. Kim Harrison Read Quote
