Red Circle deleted all my past content, YAY! So, in case you missed it, here is my episode with Kandi Steiner!

That time I got to chat with @TwoBookends. Since Red Circle decided to take down the episode, here's a little re-post in case you missed it!

I had the best time chatting with Lulu Moore. This was such a fun episode. I loved getting to know Lulu and learning about her new series, Valentine Nook Chronicles. We chatted all things Lulu-verse, but be sure to check her her newest book, Wylder Ranch. Its out now and is the perfect Christmas read! Thank you Valentine PR for setting up this interview with me!

I had the pleasure of meeting Vee this summer. When she mentioned she was having her hocky series come to audio, I knew I had to have her on. Vee is the type of person that when you first meet, within five minutes, you feel like you have known her forever...Or maybe that was just me. If you love agnsty reads...look no futher.
