    About this ebook

    8 short stories influenced by 8 albums.
    Music Soaked is an experimental compilation of short stories that were written - from conception through outlining and writing - while listening to an album on repeat.
    The music ranged through various genres and era's of music. The shorts were written to Big Star, Public Enemy, Leadbelly, Devo and others.
    The shorts run the gambit from a science fiction story about the increasing dependence we have on virtual reality to a slice of life story of an up and coming rapper who has to face what he has become.
