In this episode, we are joined by romance writer Melissa Williams, the author behind Kobo Originals' newest hockey romance series, The Toronto Nighthawks. The second book in the series, Damsel in Defense, is available now exclusively with Kobo Originals. It was great to hear all about the process of writing a sports romance inspired by Melissa's love of hockey and interest in exploring the complexities of fame, mental health, and more.

We spoke to Melissa about she got her start as a romance author, learned more about her Kobo Originals series, heard about the ways in which the indie author community helped her growth as a writer, how she researched for her books, and much more! Don't miss out on this energetic and insightful conversation.
