Theme Songs for Characters

Whenever I write a story I like to create soundtracks that help me get into the proper mood as I create. I'll pick songs that fit a certain character or event in a story.

For Forbidden Sea, Adrianne and Denn's theme song was Teardrops on My Guitar by Taylor Swift. Even though this song is modern, I felt it showed Adrianne's feelings for her best friend Denn perfectly. Click here to listen and see if you don't agree. Don't forget to substitute the name Denn for Drew. : )

So the story I'm currently working on also has a soundtrack. The main character's theme song is Pale by Temptation Within. Listen to the song by clicking here and see what you think this song is telling you about this character.

Introduction to the Mysterious Blog

Congratulations!

You've just discovered the mysterious and unknown blog of the author Sheila A. Nielson.

Authors have many idea and stories that will never see the light of publication. I have only one book published so far and dozens of past and present projects that may never be seen by the public. Knowing this, I have often wondered about those mysterious stories (written by my favorite authors) that I may never get to read. It's just not fair!

So I've decided to create this mysterious blog. This is where I will post hints, research findings, and fun concept items that have to do with the stories I am currently working on that are not yet published. These manuscripts may never get published and even if they do, they will probably be very different stories by the time I'm through with them. But this way, a few clever people will get a chance to see bits and pieces of what it is I have in the works. I can't give too much away, mostly what I'll put on this blog will be only hints of what is to come. I am not going to make any outside links to this page, so only those who are smart and know their way around blogger will be able to find this blog.

At any given time I can be working on multiple manuscripts, so I will be changing the way this blog looks to reflect the different stories I'm focusing on. Can you tell what kind of story I'm working on now? Take a look around this page and guess.

It will be interesting to see how many people discover this page.
