For the second week in a row, before hopping on the call, TB audio proofed a sex chapter in One Golden Summer, making things awkward for the prude. She’s getting closer to the sex chapter in Dagny that she had skipped, and now has to write it. It’s like the sex gods are torturing her. In fun news, she rewatched My Big Fat Greek Wedding and laughed for two hours. Just what TB needed to avoid all the news alerts blowing up her phone this past week.

Clare has finished the second draft of the Christmas book and is nearly done with her third read. Jolly good news! Especially since it’s going to the editor in less than a week. Tick tock! In shoe news, Clare reveals if she kept the pair with pink trim. You’re dying to know, aren’t you? Clare visited a brow artist, and TB can’t wrap her brain around the concept. Finally, Clare is going glamping!

For the topic of the day, box sets, Clare takes the reins. They’re a great way to drum up extra income, increase visibility, and offer the reader a deal. Clare stumbles when it comes to math, making TB smile. She’s not the only math-challenged host! Things to consider when putting a box set together are: cover, timing, ARC teams, pricing, exclusive content, and whether or not to have the paperback version.

Do you love to read box sets, or if you’re an author, have you done one?

Head over to www.lesbianswhowrite.com, and leave a comment on the episode. Or you can email them at: lesbianswhowrite@gmail.com.

For the next couple of weeks, they’ll be rerunning some episodes since Clare is going away on holiday and TB has a writing deadline.

When they return, they’ll be doing an ask them anything episode, so send in your questions.

Thanks so much for listening!

Clare and TB
