Before TB & Clare break down their 2023 goals, they catch the listeners up with what’s been going on in their lives since they last spoke way back in December. TB, in shocking news, is stressed. (When isn’t she?) It’s not all bad in her world because that would be sad. Clare makes a brave declaration about her football book and getting back on track after having a lovely holiday season. During their catchup, there’s confusion, jokes, and Clare admitted TB was right once. Victory!
They crash on to the topic: 2023 goals. Clare surprises TB yet again in this episode by saying Clare’s coming around to TB’s way of thinking when it comes to thinking about goals, which is loosey-goosey to allow for pivoting. That doesn’t mean they don’t have anything to talk about, because the duo is the talkative sort. Have a listen to find out what they’re focusing on this year.

Clare has been unwell and recently underwent surgery, which went off smoothly and she’s recuperating. Unfortunately, before the surgery, she had a 4-day migraine. Because of all of that, she doesn’t have a lot of work news to report. Clare’s in hot demand for podcasts! In good news, she’s had some fun and her house is decorated for the holidays. Hooray!
Christmas at Rainbow Falls
Clare also got her Covid jab, but she didn’t get sick. Sadly, things keep going wrong with 
TB and Miranda are furiously working on their November 1 edit, and they can’t blow past the deadline because it’s a Christmas book and there’s no time to waste. This has been the story of TB’s year. Needing to make one grueling deadline after another and it’s exhausting. Once TB meets this deadline, she starts right in on Nano. There’s no rest in sight for TB!
This is the launch week for 
Devil’s Advocate is with the ARC team, meaning it’ll be live soon! The new website for I Heart SapphFic is about to launch. That means TB is launching a book and website at the same time. The website has a BookFinder that’ll make finding sapphic books so much easier.
There’s a lot of pomp and ceremony going on in the UK right now, but Clare was still able to watch Saturday Kitchen. Clare’s festive book should be out to the ARC team soon and the book will be published mid-October. The footie story is going strong, and Clare has a ton of audio news. Lastly, Clare celebrated her birthday! Toot toot!
TB and Miranda are furiously working on Devil’s Advocate, which will be going to the editor soon! In audio news, TB hit approve on two audiobooks on the same day, and she’s wondering if both will come out on the same day. On the I Heart SapphFic front, TB shares the name of the company who is redesigning the website and how it’s connected to Shonda Rhimes. TB and Pepper, the car, just celebrated their one-year anniversary.
Clare’s got a new lease on the writing life and is working on two new projects. She keeps forgetting that her Christmas book is ready for launch and fingers crossed she doesn’t space hitting the publish button in a couple of months. She’s commissioned two audiobooks since the last recording. Two seems to be Clare’s magic number these days.
