Ep. 56 - Finding Inspiration In Strong Female Characters with Bestselling Author, Deanna Raybourn

I’m THRILLED to share my conversation with bestselling author, Deanna Raybourn about the foundation of her success as an author, what inspires her amazing female characters, her latest book release, as well as some of her own favorite reads.

I’ve been a fan of Deanna’s books after I read The Dead Travel Fast back in 2010 and have loved every one I’ve read since. I wanted to have her on the podcast to talk about her inspiration for her unique yet AWEd female characters as well as learn more about where her own strength comes from.

She was as wonderful as I expected and more and hope you take a moment to listen to what goes into creating her stories as well as the strength behind her own life story.

I’m giving away a copy of her latest novel, A Grave Robbery as well as her first book in the Veronica Speedwell series. Just comment here, on this episode specific IG or FB post and you’re entered to win!

Giveaway ends Wednesday, May 15 at noon CST.
