Cicada Blog Tour: Belle Whittington's Musical Inspiration [Guest Post]

A little while ago, I got an email that asked me if I would like to take part in the Book Blog Tour for Belle Whittington's Cicada, and I jumped at the chance. The book looks absolutely wonderful (and I do now have an ecopy of it to review, which is exciting), so I'm really excited to be able to share this exclusive Guest Post with you.
Belle has written, especially for Pen to Paper, a Guest Post about the musical inspiration for Cicada, and the rest of the series so far. So, I will leave you in Belle's capable hands :)

First off, I’d like to thank you for having me over to your lovely blog for a lemonade and a chat! I look forward to getting to know your readers and followers.

Like most authors, I love listening to great music while writing.  There are so many talented musicians that inspire me while daydreaming and writing my stories.  I thought I'd share my inspiration play lists with your lovely readers. :-)

• Cicada Inspiration Playlist
• Firefly Inspiration Playlist
• No. 3 Inspiration Playlist

Another thing I think readers might like to know is that I have a favorite song that fits the mood for each one of the books in the trilogy! Want to hear the unofficial theme song to each book? Here goes!

•  Cicada: The Resistance
• Firefly: Cosmic Love
• Third (Yet Unnamed Book): Electric Feel

There's even a song for Everett!

And as an extra bonus, here’s a song for a very important character readers will meet in Firefly. His name is Ash, and, boy oh boy, do I think readers will love to hate to love him!

Well, I couldn’t help myself but to include this song, too!  Without giving away any spoilers, let me just say that this song inspires a very special moment in book three… Hmmm… I wonder who this song could be about?  Any thoughts?  Post them below in the comments section! :)

I hope everyone will enjoy listening to the play lists while reading the books! And I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on how the play lists fit with my books.

And it must not go without giving many thanks to the awesome musicians whose songs have given me so much inspiration.  Thank you for sharing your magic!
