It's strange how sometimes, art connects in ways we never anticipated. While writing When the Trees All Burned, I had a soundtrack that helped shape the atmosphere—songs that carried the weight of ending and beginning, of destruction and possibility. But then, I found myself drawn to an unexpected addition: “Corner of the Universe” by Creed Bratton.

Yes, that Creed Bratton from The Office. Before he was quality assurance at Dunder Mifflin, he was a legitimate musician with The Grass Roots in the '60s. His solo work has this playful quality that, surprisingly, resonates with the themes I explore in my novel.

Discover how Marc Scibilia's “Life In My Bones” perfectly captures Jude and Brett's last-minute connection in When The Trees All Burned. This haunting song mirrors the novel's exploration of finding love at the apocalypse's edge, showing how authentic connection transcends time constraints. Perfect for readers who love apocalyptic fiction, emotional character arcs, and the intersection of music and literature.

I'm thrilled to announce that my apocalyptic novel When The Trees All Burned is now available for pre-order on Kindle at a special launch price of just $2.99!

In my upcoming novel When The Trees All Burned, the women aren’t just surviving the apocalypse—they’re defining it through their strength, resilience, and humanity. On this International Women’s Day, I want to celebrate these characters who embody different facets of feminine power and reflect on why writing multidimensional women matters now more than ever.
