TB is really nervous to publish The Proposal, more than normal, if you can believe it. In health news, TB finally went for a massage, after stopping them in 2020, when everything shut down. A back spasm, though, had her whimpering, so now she’s getting massages again. In co-writing news, TB keeps unintentionally calling the ranch book the raunchy book. Finally, TB has to wear a tutu, and it’s all Clare’s fault!

Clare, if everything has gone according to plan, is currently in Whitstable, going for long walks, writing lots of words, and chanting how much she loves the charming seaside town. To prepare for her writing retreat, she’s been researching and plotting her next book. In major movie news, Clare’s extra role in the docudrama has been beefed up, and she’s now a character with an actual name.

They crash on to the topic: print books. Recently, Clare noticed on Amazon that out of the top twenty sapphic books, a quarter of them didn’t have paperback editions. She offers some stats that shuts down TB’s brain, but you should pay attention to what Clare has to say, because ignoring print books is not the best author business practice. Clare walks you through the process of getting your books in print. If you haven’t done print yet, it’s time to make a change.

Are your books in print?
