In this very special hour-long episode, we celebrate HOLIDAYS AT NORTHFIELD HALL with not one, not two, but three special guests! Isabella Kamal, Charlie Lane, and Sri Savita join me in reading first kiss scenes from our stories in HOLIDAYS AT NORTHFIELD HALL. (Beware: some of these first kiss scenes include spoilers!) Then we talk about the inspiration behind this multi-author anthology, what it was like for them to write into my world of Northfield Hall, and what we love about the holidays!
