Blizzards and Bastards

The winter backdrop really amplifies the tension and coziness, but I wonder if the author drew from personal holiday experiences or crafted it purely for the story.

The forced proximity trope really worked here, but I was surprised by how quickly the sparks flew. Was that intentional to keep the story lively?

The story felt lighthearted but also heartfelt — I’d love to know how the tone was shaped during writing.
