Sarah Chamberlain and Sam Tschida

From Comfort to Bite

Romance readers and romcom fans, save the date! In Love Walked In, an opposites-attract story for book lovers by London-based author Sarah Chamberlain, a sunshiny American bookstore whisperer clashes with the grumpy British owner of the shop she’s trying to save. In Undead and Unwed, the bitingly funny new novel by the Twin Cities’ own Sam Tschida, a vampire finds herself—and maybe love—during the Christmas season. Join us as these writers discuss the wide range of tones and pleasures in contemporary genre fiction.
