    Soundtrack Alley 188 Interview with Heather Snodgrass

    I am Randy Andrews your host. Today on Soundtrack Alley, I’ll be interviewing Heather Snodgrass a debut novelist for the book A Love Letter to Reading. We’ll discuss her book at length and the curated playlist for the main character. We’ll discuss also how music shapes peoples lives and how it changes lives. And with the written word, there are always more ways to look at music or at art and see something residing inside us. Heather Snodgrass is the debut award winning author behind A Love Letter to Reading—Its a novel that blends adrenaline-fueled suspense with the healing power of music. The book’s main character, Ariana Rossi, is a nurse by day and a trained assassin by night. Yet in the darkest corners of her double life, she relies on music not just for inspiration, but for survival. Ariana choreographs every kill to a carefully curated playlist. For her, music becomes more than background noise—it’s how she drowns out guilt, stays present, and makes sense of unbearable emotions. Heather drew from her own lifelong relationship with music, weaving in the idea that sound can anchor us through chaos. Heather used various elements of her own life including portions of music from the playlist from her Husband, her friends in the film industry and other elements to create this very personal yet very exciting and enjoyable reading experience. If anyone has ever experienced the multi-media project of Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire, this book and playlist will be for you. Here in the notes is a link not only to Heather's website but also her instagram as well as the actual Spotify Playlist .
