*WARNING: there is a zoomy/buzzy sound in the background of the podcast/video for the first 3 minutes, because the street outside our apartment was being cleaned. Sorry about that, it goes away at the 3:12 mark*

In this tenth episode of Harper Bliss & Her Mrs, Harper recounts the horror of turning forty (the drama!)

We binged on season two of Marcella and discovered the amazing Dietland. We are also immensely enjoying the audiobook of Mythos by Stephen Fry.

For the topic of the week we discuss Amazon, the danger of being completely exclusive with them, and how we want to diversify our sources of income.

Tune in again next week for a new episode of Harper Bliss & Her Mrs.

We’re back after a holiday break.

Our holiday was not a real holiday, since it was during the release week of Once Upon a Princess, which has done so well.
We kind of finished the first draft of our co-written golf romance, more on that in the topic of the week.

On the television front we’ve been enjoying some quality British drama with The Split and A Very English Scandal.

Our topic of the week is Plotting. Harper talks about how her co-write with Clare went so well thanks to Clare’s great outline, and how the absence of a detailed plot affected our co-write. But she explains why she’ll probably remain a pantser for her solo books.

It’s Gay Pride on the day we record this 8th episode of Harper Bliss & Her Mrs.

We start by professing our love for Pride and talking about the criticism it sometimes gets.

This week we took time to make the necessary updates to our empire in order to comply with the upcoming GDPR. We also finalised the royal romance, which wil be out next week. And our interview on the Begin Self-Publishing podcast came out this week.

We binge-watched Season 4 of The Bridge and we’re going to miss Saga Noren so much.

Finally, we talked about the book we’re co-writing at the moment, which is a sweet romance, so no hot scenes *gasp*! We have a live discussion on if it’s a good idea to have both our names on it, or do we risk alienating Harper Bliss fans who have come to expect heat in her books.

No video this week as the recording software decided to pack it in after about 2 minutes. Maybe it didn’t like our talk of Gay Pride.

This episode of Harper Bliss & Her Mrs is all about having a bad week and how to get over it.

We got edits back for the co-written royal romance this week, and Harper did some mailing list hygiene work, in view of the GDPR. Helpful resources for writers are this episode of The Creative Penn, this workshop by Nick Stephenson and this episode of The Self-Publishing Formula.

We binge-watched a new Netflix show called Safe, even though it’s really not very good. But we profess our love for Graham Norton and his weekly talk-show.

Then we discussed our bad week, what happened and what we’ll try to do to have a better next week.

In this sixth episode of Harper Bliss & Her Mrs, Harper discusses the benefits of keeping a personal diary. (And for those watching on YouTube: Dolly Purrton makes a brief unsolicited appearance)

It was, again, an exciting week for both of us. Harper was nominated for a Goldie, Caroline won her golf match on Saturday and her team went on to become the second best team in Belgium, we were interviewed for another podcast and the cover for the upcoming co-written book with Clare Lydon was finalised.

We didn’t watch that much television this week, but we have a new favourite podcast: Where Should We Begin with Esther Perel. And it’s not just because she’s Belgian like us.

For our topic of the week Harper talks about the habit she created of keeping a personal diary. It was inspired by an episode of The Creative Penn which featured Orna Ross of the Alliance of Independent Authors.
