Musical Theme: Dystopian Debut

Gearing up for the release of CALLED in the summer of 2024, I put together this playlist of songs that spoke to the world of the story, my feelings about writing my first novel, and the excitement leading up to its release.

A lost message. A deadly secret. A corrupt government. Join Clementine Jones in a gripping dystopian sci-fi series that unravels the battle between control and freedom in a future shaped by AI-driven power, corrupt oligarchs, and corporate-controlled governments.

Behind the Music

When I arrange songs into a playlist, I’m exploring a specific theme—in this case, the world of CALLED—but I also use a narrative structure. Mirroring the highs and lows of transformation, I use tracks 1, 13, and 25 as the respective overture, entr’acte, and curtain call to steal a bit of musical theatre lingo.

1. The Beatles — Paperback Writer

2. Tennessee Ernie Ford — Sixteen Tons

3. The Black Ghosts — Repetition Kills You
