Second Chances, Christmas Magic & Global Romance: A Conversation with Author Kandy Shepherd
In this festive episode, host Samantha Tennant welcomes bestselling author Kandy Shepherd for a cozy, heartfelt conversation filled with writing insights, holiday traditions, and plenty of behind-the-scenes stories.
Kandy talks about her early writing days in magazines like Cosmopolitan and Family Circle, how those years shaped her approach to character and relationships, and why she loves writing “second chance” romances that feel real, emotional, and full of hope.
Together, Sam and Kandy explore:
• Writing an older heroine in Second Chance Under the Mistletoe
• The joy (and chaos!) of pets during deadline season
• Why setting is a character all its own
• Collaborating with another author on a connected duet
• Holiday traditions in Australia vs the U.S.
• What Kandy is writing next
It’s warm, insightful, and the perfect listen for readers who love romance, Christmas stories, and hearing the real voices behind the books they adore.
