This week the indie beginning podcast introduces readers to indie author Barbara Quinn with her indie read The Summer Springsteen's Songs Saved Me. This story follows Sofia who came home to find her husband cheating and must now let go of her past, find freedom, and mend her broken soul. As is plain to see from the title, this story is influenced by the music of Bruce Springsteen and each chapter is headed by a different song from 'The Boss'. If you are a fan, like me, this book has its own little built in soundtrack.
Tune in next week when we speak to the author about her thoughts on the power of music and art as a healing tool. What music has inspired her career? We also do a bit of research on our own about mixing writing with music. I (Benjamin) fell in love with music before I ever read a written word. Music is my oldest love (don't tell Marie!) and I was so excited to be able to combine my love of books, my love of podcasting, and my love of music to bring you these episodes with Barbara Quinn.
The Summer Springsteen's Songs Saved Me is available for purchase on amazon. It has had many positive reviews and will be great from any lover of stories collection.
