JANE'S VIDEO MESSAGES FOR READERS, BOOK CLUBS & LIBRARIES
MUSICAL CONNECTIONS: Years ago, I attended a bluegrass festival near Harpers Ferry (West Virginia), followed by a folk festival in Nova Scotia (Canso). Certain music and artists at those events inspired some of the early characters and circumstances for my books. Since then, my writing has been regularly inspired by music - especially certain folk and bluegrass songs (U.S. and Canadian). To me, the music made the stories fuller, more meaningful than ever, and vice versa. Could it be that the people, places and circumstances I was writing about were touched by such music? There was no choice but to do more research and offer up a few fitting playlists for my readers.
LINKS TO MY PLAYLISTS (Dirt Road Anthology, Along the Red Dirt Road, & Three Roads Out) are shown below.
EXTRA LOVE: Should you find particular artists or songs especially appealing, please give them LOTS of plays and likes, as that generates income for them. Better yet, consider buying their recordings - or attending a concert.
Peace, love and good reading,
Jane Yearout
