Most artists and authors draw
inspiration from the world around them. Sights, sounds, people, and places;
they all feed the creative process. I am no different. If you’ve ever been to
Phoenix or the surrounding areas, you may have recognized some of the locations
in “Killing Karma.” You might even look at the characters and say to your self,
“Hey, I think I know that guy.” You just might… or at least someone like them.
One place I draw a lot of
inspiration from is music. Sometimes you can find me sitting in front of the
keyboard lost in my own world, headphones blasting a tune directly into my
brain. As the real world melts away the music takes me to another place,
allowing my imagination run free. Sometimes the music even makes it into the
story, buried among the words like a hidden treasure.
“Killing Karma” contains
several of these treasures. Here’s a little challenge for you. As you read the
novel, see if you can spot the hidden references to different bands and songs.
There are a couple of pretty obvious ones, and a few that require a somewhat
broader scope.
Have some fun with it and post
your findings in the comments!
