How It Came To Be

Though I wrote Reborn In Shadows in silence, I chose to score my book like a movie—each track was carefully chosen to enhance the mood, tone, and emotional weight of the story. Every chapter of Reborn in Shadows: Through the Ashes carries a distinct atmosphere, and this soundtrack reflects the feelings each scene evokes. From the pulse of tension in suspenseful moments to the raw vulnerability of self-discovery and love, these songs serve as an auditory companion to Miriam’s journey.

While some tracks may not entirely align with my personal musical preferences, they were chosen for their ability to capture the essence of each chapter. Music has a way of deepening emotions and drawing us further into a story, and I wanted this selection to act as a bridge between the words on the page and the sensations they create.

One of the choices I feel most strongly about is bookending the novel with Nirvana’s haunting “Something in the Way”—a song that perfectly encapsulates the sense of isolation, survival, and quiet resilience that define Miriam’s journey. It opens the book with a melancholic weight, setting the stage for everything to come, and closes it with that same lingering power, reminding us that even in the shadows, there is a path forward.

This soundtrack isn’t just background noise—it’s an emotional undercurrent, a pulse running through the heart of the novel. I invite you to listen as you read and experience Reborn in Shadows in an entirely new way.
