TB is back and feeling better, which is fabulous news! She’s been slowly sneaking back to work after taking a week off, interspersed with watching a lot of TV. Clare’s week has involved editing their upcoming co-write, as well as writing her lockdown novella, and podcasting like a demon. She did not bring out the horns, though.
This week’s chat focuses on celebrating birthdays and small wins – stopping to appreciate life, which is exactly what TB is done after getting so sick. Her birthday kicked off with a coffee cake muffin, so she was winning from the start! The pair discuss birthdays of characters in their books, and realise they don’t feature them. Look out for a rash of fictional birthdays. They both agree birthdays need cake & cards, in real life or otherwise.
Small wins TB has been celebrating include walking in nature, and staying alive. Meanwhile, Clare has passed the milestone of selling 100,000 books in her career, so she popped some bubbly in her back garden. Cheers!

Next week, the pair will be back talking about point of view – so long as TB keeps well.
Happy listening!
Clare and TB

A great episode, and lovely to have TB back!!!
Clare – congrats on the 100k 🎉
Like Clare, I got my copy of The Price of Salt off of the bookcase! That’s it so far! Plan to start reading this week though!
Congratulations, both of you!
(We don’t say “birthday girl” or “birthday boy”, we say “birthday hero”, which is a bit more grand but also nicely neutral.)
Congratulations to Clare on her 100,000 books sold. What an amazing milestone! And welcome back, TB. You were missed. Keep getting better!
