February always seems to come and go in a whirlwind! This year, especially so.

Dead Headspace:

• C.J. Tudor on Dead Headspace
• Erika T. Wurth on Dead Headspace

Each of these women were absolutely incredible to speak to.

I fan-girled HARD over CJ Tudor. She’s one of my auto-buy authors and I have absolutely adored every single one of her books. Talking to her was such an honor and I cannot wait to see what she does next!

Erika is such an amazing human. I was immediately drawn toward her energy and had a blast chatting.

To start February off with a surprise from Brennan LaFaro, Brennan wrote up a lovely feature on his January newsletter giving me a shout-out. If you haven’t yet, subscribe to Postcards From The Falls by clicking here!
