Kauffman on writing romances set in small towns

“I love the cozy feeling I get when I’m reading a story set in a small town—tucked away in a picturesque place, with a group of people who all know each other, folks who I’d like to know and call friends. It’s so comforting.” —from a 2018 interview with BookPage
