‘Obsessive love underlies the whole novel’ – The Undercover Soundtrack, Vivienne Tuffnell
Posted by rozmorris @NailYourNovel @ByRozMorris in Undercover Soundtrack on October 17, 2012
My guest this week says her fiction explores the hidden side of human existence, delving into mysticism, the paranormal and deep psychology – and her latest novel was sparked by a disturbing dream. Its soundtrack encompasses Vivaldi and Tori Amos, a potent aural brew that allowed her to forget she knew what was going to happen and experience the story moment by moment. She is Vivienne Tuffnell and she’s on the Red Blog sharing the Undercover Soundtrack to The Bet
