#120: Harper’s Bandwidth Is Like Dial-up

Harper Bliss & Her Mrs ·

2021/12/09

On this episode Harper’s Mrs is a bit loopy because of a painful back. Harper finished writing a short story and is ready to go on her next writing retreat. She watched a LGBTQ romance panel online and was appalled by how they talked about lesbian romance. We saw a great show on BritBox: The Tower, a three-part thriller starring Gemma Whelan. We also enjoyed Netflix’s gay Christmas rom-com Single All the Way. Caroline’s book this week is 56 Days by Catherine Ryan Howard, a psychological

We record this on the first day of snow of the year! The big news of the day is that That Woman Next Door is now available on Audible! And Then She Kissed Me is at the editor’s and with some beta-readers, one of whom already finished it. Harper is ready to start writing her next book, but she has to write a short story first. We have some translation news, both in Portuguese and French. If you’re looking for a Christmas themed read, why not try Life in Bits, which Harper co-wrote with T.B

2021/11/25

Happy Thanksgiving to our American listeners! Harper is about to send her editor the manuscript of her next book, And Then She Kissed Me, which will be out at the end of January. Not a lot of publishing news this week, because we’ve been very preoccupied with maybe buying a house. We watched all six episodes of Annika, a Scottish scandi noir with a humorous touch. We enjoyed it very much, especially Nicola Walker. Caroline’s book this week is The Thing About Clare by Imogen Clark, about a

#117: Harper Has Many Thoughts

Harper Bliss & Her Mrs ·

2021/11/18

We’re back after an extended break! But we’ve been busy during the break: Harper wrote a book which will be called And Then She Kissed Me; we published the audio of That Woman Next Door; and we published an age-gap boxset, The Power of Love. Of course, we’ve watched a lot of television since our last podcast episode. We enjoyed The L Word Gen Q, but it is not without its issues. We loved Work in Progress. Harper has been rewatching Californication, which she’s enjoying, but in this day and age it

#116: Harper Fancies Herself a Comedian

Harper Bliss & Her Mrs ·

2021/09/23

This week’s big news is that That Woman Next Door is out now in ebook and print! The book is a slow-burn opposites attract with lots of lesbian processing. Harper is still not writing so she’s been occupying herself on Instagram. We enjoyed the new season of Sex Education a lot, even though it was a bit more serious than previous seasons. It’s definitely more educational than the Sex Ed we got in school. We also watched the first episode of Alma's Not Normal on the BBC. Caroline’s book this

2021/09/16

There is lots of audio news this week! About That Kiss (narrated by Abby Craden) is now available everywhere, and At Your Most Beautiful (narrated by Angela Dawe) is now out as well. That Woman Next Door is going through the very last proofread before going to the retailers and Harper is enjoying it so much. She’s still not writing so she’s been on Instagram much more, which is not necessarily working out. We rewatched season one of The L Word: Generation Q in preparation for when season two

2021/09/10

In this week’s episode, Caroline has tooth ailments. Harper is still on a writing break, but working on the final edits on That Woman Next Door, which will be out in ebook, audio, paperback AND a swanky hardcover. She’s also trying to be social-media-savvy. Harper is with book idea, but she has to wait a few weeks before she can begin writing it. Meanwhile, the Two Hearts Trilogy read along is still happening in the Facebook Group. We’re enjoying Vigil on the BBC, which stars queer lady favourite

#113: Harper Dies of Embarrassment During the Episode

Harper Bliss & Her Mrs ·

2021/09/02

Apologies for skipping last week. Visiting friends and cat sitting duties made it impossible to record an episode. That Woman Next Door is available for pre-order here! Harper reveals the story behind the unfortunate naming choice of one of its characters. Harper's two attempts at writing Pink Bean 11 didn’t work out so she’s taking an extended break from writing. She’s decided to organise another read along in her Facebook group, this time of Two Hearts Trilogy. Join the group to participate

Harper Bliss & Her Mrs ·

2021/08/19

We’re back after a relaxing holiday in Brittany. We’ll be going back soon! About That Kiss, narrated by the great Abby Craden, is out in audio in most places (not Audible or Amazon.) And Harper posted her fantasy casting on her blog. Harper’s next book finally has a title and it’s not Difficult Women. The editor suggested Two Lesbians Processing. It will be available for pre-order here. However, her next next book is proving to be a bit of a struggle. Harper doesn’t like tv shows where the

#111: Harper Has Stuck Her Head Even Farther Up Her...

Harper Bliss & Her Mrs ·

2021/07/29

About That Kiss is out now everywhere! It could be your feel-good read of the summer :-) Harper is feeling the launch stress. Another new release is the German translation of A Lesson in Love, Die Erfahrung von Liebe. Harper finally typed THE END on Difficult Women, which is set in Brittany, which is where we’re going on holiday. We watched season four of Unforgotten, and loved it, but the end left Caroline reeling. We also started rewatching Homeland, starting at season four, which has Laila

#110: Harper Will Be an Easier Woman Tomorrow

Harper Bliss & Her Mrs ·

2021/07/22

We record this episode on our National Holiday and also the 21st anniversary of our first meeting. Harper is feeling the stress of finishing her current first draft and preparing for a launch next week. Thank goodness for her punching bag. The first two chapters of About That Kiss are available to read on the blog. We had a movie night in which we watched two very different films: Gunpowder Milkshake and Let Them All Talk. We enjoyed both in different ways. We’ve also been on a streak of

#109: Harper Likes It When Things Are About Her

Harper Bliss & Her Mrs ·

2021/07/15

Caroline’s birthday was celebrated profusely which led us to not be able to record a podcast last week, for which we apologise. The Village Romance Series is on sale for a few days, get it now! Harper’s editor loved About That Kiss and gave it the perfect review. It will be out in two weeks! Harper is rereading her Pink Bean books and really loved No Other Love (Book 6). She’s now on Love Without Limits, and thinks she must have been crazy writing that book. We absolutely loved the new

Harper Bliss & Her Mrs ·

2021/07/01

In this week’s episode, Harper talks about her Difficult Women (working title), but she doesn’t know yet how they’ll get together. This book may also have brought her to take on a new (violent) hobby. About That Kiss is getting its final touches and will be out on 27 July. The editor loved it! And Harper reveals which book she’ll work on when she’s done with the difficult women. Our shout-out of the week is to the Flemish Government for their PSA with two middle-aged lesbians. In between all

We’re back after a short getaway in the countryside, which was so nice. We even went for an outdoor run early in the morning! In other fun news: we booked tickets to go see Celine Dion in 2022! Harper’s next two audiobooks have been cast and lesfic audiobook fans will be happy. This week’s shoutout is an attempted hommage to sexy Scottish accents. We enjoyed the last season of Master of None, which has great houseporn. Harper has started watching Death in Paradise as her go-to-sleep show. This

2021/06/10

Harper celebrated her birthday over lunch with the ladies from Ylva Publishing, which was lots of fun. And thanks to Carrie for the unexpected prezzie! Her next book, About That Kiss, is about to be sent to the editor, before we take a few days off next week. And she’s decided to take up her previously discarded book and try to finish it. Our favourite podcasters Fi and Jane made a hilarious video to announce their upcoming book. We watched season two of Feel Good, which we highly recommend

#105: Harper Is Her Own Favourite Author

Harper Bliss & Her Mrs ·

2021/06/03

We were absent for two weeks for the best possible reason: Harper wrote a new book! And she had so much fun doing it. She has also discovered the joy of reading her own books, which she’s never done before. This has led to her doing a group readalong of If You Kiss Me Like That in her Facebook Group. During our two weeks absence we watched a lot of TV. We loved It’s a Sin but tears were shed. We also enjoyed the third and final season of Shrill. And our highlight was Mare of Easttown with a

#104: Harper Is Smitten With Her New Niece

Harper Bliss & Her Mrs ·

2021/05/12

We’re back after our absence last week, brought on by Harper’s current at-home writing retreat. She’s going all-out on writing a Hollywood romance and is making amazing progress, because of not doing anything else or reading any news. After the season finale of Line of Duty, we rewatched the first three seasons of Unforgotten and a desperate to watch the fourth one. We also started on Dexter again, which is very bloody. Caroline's book of the week is Good Company by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney. A

#103: Harper Has Been Overly Sex-Educated

Harper Bliss & Her Mrs ·

2021/04/29

This week we talk about our little glamping break in the woods. Before the break, Harper made a difficult choice about her work-in-progress. We’ve been obsessed with Line of Duty and rewatched the previous seasons. We started Mare of Easttown and we wish we hadn’t because there’s only one episode a week! Caroline managed to finish a very long book in the woods: Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart. It’s a difficult read at times, but a beautiful book that deserves many stars. Tune in again next

Harper is over the launch stress of At Your Most Beautiful and is very grateful to everyone who bought it. Some unusual events are disrupting her work-in-progress. Next in Line for Love is on sale for a limited time. We binged two shows over the weekend: The One (interesting and suspenseful) and Everything's Gonna Be Okay (very funny and touching.) We also enjoyed the first episode of Rebel as we both have a deep love for Katey Sagal. Caroline’s book tip of the week is her favourite book of

#101: Harper Had an Easter Bunny That She Used to Know

Harper Bliss & Her Mrs ·

2021/04/08

At Your Most Beautiful is out and some reviews have been quite amusing! Launches are still stressful, even after so many books. We had a sedate Easter weekend which involved yummy oysters with Harper’s mother-in-law and beer brewed by Harper’s sister. Our entertainment has been very Flemish this past week, with tv shows Déjà Vu and Beau Séjour. We’re also enjoying Line of Duty very much. Caroline’s book of the week is A Dark Matter by Doug Johnstone, part of the Skelfs series. A pleasant
