Please note due to a storm, the audio cuts out occasionally in the beginning. Apologies!
TB is trying to be positive, which isn’t easy for a grump. She’s been battling WordPress over her bio, and at the moment, the score is TB one point and WordPress one point. TB has a Miracle Girl announcement after receiving several inquiries about the series. Lastly, TB has had yet another online ordering misfire involving tits.
Clare has been on a fancy-pants pasta kick, and TB loves the way Clare says pasta. It’s been blistering hot in London, so please send cooling thoughts Clare’s way. She’s finished draft two of London 7—she thinks. Numbers are hard. That means she’ll be diving back into her Xmas story soon! Exciting times for the Christmas lover.
The intrepid duo moves on to the main topic about whether they plan to stick only to lesbian fiction or to venture into other genres. They both point out as creatives, it’s only natural to want to try something new. Lesbian fiction fans shouldn’t worry, though. Neither intends to permanently ditch lesfic.
While TB wants to bust into a different genre, she won’t be making that announcement to TBM fans because she wants to keep her pen names separate. However, she’s considering nonfiction in 2021 under the TBM banner.
Clare already has a historical romance in mind and has started the research, involving grilling her mum about London life in the fifties. She also wants to pen more short stories and contemporary fiction à la Marian Keyes, which is fantabulousness news all around. Who doesn’t love Marian? In not so good news, they both learn something about Nora Ephron that makes them sad.

As long as “hetfic” keeps disappointing me mainly in its handling of relationships, I will keep reading lesfic, where everything is better (even tropes and cliches)!
In regard to your wife’s interest in cozy mysteries, there are hardly any lesbian cozies. How about breaking into that genre? I love your writing style and I think you’d do it well. I bet your wife would love it as well. Lol. I really enjoy both you and T.B on the podcasts as well as your books. Do stay safe,
