Is it possible the duo are becoming morning peeps?
TB announces some changes to I Heart Lesfic to help lighten her workload. She’s on the second draft of her London novella, and she’s also making progress on season three of Girl Love Happens. TB makes an ice cream announcement that may result with a lot of hate mail.
Clare had peeps over for a BBQ. TB didn’t know they (BBQs and people) still existed. In big news, Clare’s lockdown novella is with the editor and will be released in mid-July. She’s giving it away free to her newsletter subscribers, so sign up, folks! In even bigger news, Clare has made great progress on her London 7 romance and has figured out story aspects of London 8 and 9. Wowzers!
They move on to pen name chat, and TB starts off by saying “what does TB stand for?” is one of the most popular questions she gets. So, why did TB pick TB? She’s insanely private and about one step away from being a recluse.
Clare Lydon is Clare’s actual name! She always wanted to see her name on a book cover, but if she could go back in time, she’d probably go the pen name route.
They list reasons to choose a pen name and what you should consider when making your selection. Clare cautions authors to put a lot of thought into their pen name (don’t be a TB), since it’ll be part of your author brand.
Do you have a pen name? Why or why not?

Next week, the pair will discuss how 2020 has changed their daily routines.
Happy listening!
Clare and TB

Finally caught up with pods which dated back to March…moved to new home near beach hooray (my seachange dream) but then the world was turned upside down and I didn’t have internet connected until recently. Anyways would like to say the pods have kept me amused and felt like I was listening to a couple of friends. It was so good to hear you both especially during this lockdown we’re going through. You both have a positive attitude and great sense of humour.
TB, glad to hear you are feeling much better. Found out you weren’t feeling well via your newsletter sometime back; did send you a get better msg : )
Also, I did read the One Golden Summer book before listening to the pods so it was interesting to hear who wrote which characters and to hear more about the book etc…well done to both of you as I really loved the characters, loved the wine shop!!
Take care and keep safe.
Cheers
Raffie.
