Meet the Author Writing Cozy, Multicultural Holiday Romance Novels
Mindy Kaling is a fan! Plus, more cozy holiday romance novels to curl up with.
By Sarah Laing
Whenever she’s writing a book, Uzma Jalaluddin makes a playlist. For her latest, a holiday romance novel titled Yours For The Season, a certain track from Taylor Swift’s Evermore album was on rotation—and it shows.

“I listened to ‘Tis The Damn Season a lot. I am a Swiftie, and I love that song,” says Jalaluddin, reached via video call, surrounded by boxes ahead of a pending house move from one Markham neighbourhood to another. “And, you know, ’tis the damn season!”

In hindsight, Jalaluddin can see that Swift’s melancholy track about returning to your hometown over the holidays and confronting the ghosts of old loves and your own past self may have seeped into what she was writing.
