Love on the Shelf: Sheila Roberts on Romance and Resilience

Author Sheila Roberts stops by Chapter Chat to discuss her latest romance novel, Love on the Shelf and to preview the Christmas novel she has coming out later this year. Sheila opens up about what it’s like having her holiday books adapted into movies, why she’s drawn to writing stories full of warmth and hope, and how her writing process takes a book from first spark to finished page. We also bond as cancer survivors, sharing how that experience can reshape perspective, deepen gratitude, and influence creativity. Plus, Sheila breaks down why romance remains one of the most popular genres and what readers are really looking for when they pick up a love story.
