NEW RELEASE: In the Arms of a Woman

In the Arms of a WomanAfter the sweet romance outing I went on with my Mrs, I thought it was time to ramp the hotness All The Way Up again. And I don’t think I can go much higher on the hot-o-meter than in the stories in this collection. Or, to put it in the words of a member of my Launch Team: “Hold on to your panties, girls – this is pure knicker-ripping lust.” 😉

Here’s the blurb:
Best-selling lesbian romance author Harper Bliss has collected all the short stories she has penned over the years. You can find all twenty-eight of them in this sizzling hot collection.

You will encounter women of all ages, from all over the world, and practicing a myriad of professions—ranging from police officers to rock band singers and from therapists to personal trainers.

Just one piece of advice: do not read in public!

You can see a full list of all the stories (with links to the full version of a few of them) here >>

Please note that all these stories have been previously published in various anthologies, on my website, or as single ebooks.

In the introduction, I’ve written the following:
“I started out in erotica so, do be warned, all of these stories are much more than just romantic. Some aren’t even romantic at all but, overall, even in these short tales, my undeniable romantic streak was already coming through.”

In other words: If you only know me through my latest books, you’re in for a bit of a shock… 😉 90% of these stories are pure erotica with only a hint of romance (do be warned!)

Enjoy!

NEW RELEASE: Pink Bean Series: Books 4-6

by Leave a Comment

Pink Bean Books 4 to 6 nicely boxed up!

With book 9 imminent (at least, I like to call it imminent when I talk to myself — I’m making good progress, though!), I thought it was time to bundle books 4 to 6.

This box set includes:
– This Foreign Affair: mature women try long-distance
– Water Under Bridges: enemies to lovers, down under
– No Other Love: a long-term relationship lez romance (Did I just create my own lesfic trope?) 😉

Here are the links:
– Amazon US
– Amazon UK
– Amazon CA
– Amazon AUS
– Amazon DE
– Other Amazon Stores

And the official blurb:

Sydney is full of coffeeshops, but none as exciting, and full of drama, as the Pink Bean.

In This Foreign Affair, heartbroken Zoya has a holiday romance with French tourist Camille, but is faced with tough choices when the fling turns into something deeper.

Old traumas come back to haunt yoga teacher Louise when the Pink Bean hires a new manager. Water Under Bridges explores the themes of change and forgiveness, and whether people can ever truly move on from a dark past.

Book shop owner Annie and her wife Jane see their relationship challenged with the arrival of the Pink Bean into their lives. Find out how they navigate and overcome the struggles of a long-lasting marriage in No Other Love.

Grab an espresso (or a flat white) and settle down for nearly 700 pages of heartwarming, dramatic and steamy lesbian romance, like only best-selling author Harper Bliss can craft.

If you haven’t started the Pink Bean series yet, you can get the first three books in a box set as well:

EllCon was great (*)!

(*) Apart from me mumbling my way through the one panel I was on, that is. (I’ll just stick to writing from now on.) 😉

I think it’s fair to say lesfic writers don’t get to have regular conversations with other lesfic writers, especially not in the flesh. So having the opportunity to talk shop with fellow authors is always lovely, even for overly sensitive introverts like myself.

Here’s a picture of my Mrs and me with lesfic great Jae:

Other things that occurred:

  • Kiki Archer managed to sell me one of her paperbacks even though I only ever read ebooks
  • Emma Nichols charmed the pants off me by calling me a ‘legend’
  • Miranda MacLeod came all the way from the US and surprised me with her drinking skills
  • Andrea Bramhall thoroughly impressed me during the ‘Realistic Characters’ panel (so much so that I promptly bought one of her books — yup, in paperback — so she could sign it!)
  • Justine ‘Have you read the classics?’ Saracen turned out to live in Brussels (and Lise Gold lived in Hong Kong while we were there!)
  • TB Markinson almost convinced me to read Great Expectations (but not quite)
  • Claiming that leather jackets cause microphone feedback is a great way to get lesfic authors to strip off their clothes
  • Getting hangry happens to the best of us (even to my always-cool co-writer Clare Lydon) 😉

All things that would never have happened/I wouldn’t have found out about if it hadn’t been for EllCon.

I hope Zara, Gerd & the other organisers are already making plans for next year!

We also LOVED Bristol (and can’t wait to go back next year.)

NEW RELEASE: A Swing at Love (A Sweet Lesbian Romance)

by 1 Comment

A Swing at Love (A Sweet Lesbian Romance) is OUT NOW!

Here’s the blurb:

On the fairway of life, love comes when you least expect it

Diane Thompson is happy enough. Her successful accounting firm allows her plenty of time to play all the golf she wants and enjoy her life in small Sussex village Tynebury. She’s finally over the divorce from her husband, but potential suitors are few and far between for a fifty-something woman in the English countryside.

Tamsin Foxley is determined to keep matters of the heart separated from her new teaching job at the Royal Tynebury Golf Club after a disastrous romantic experience put an end to her previous employment. She has also vowed to no longer fall for women almost half her age.

When the new season starts at the golf club, Diane and Tamsin become fast friends. Their feelings for each other quickly go in an unexpected direction and they both have to reevaluate what it is they want from life.

Can Diane overcome her fear of falling for a woman? And can Tamsin accept her taste in women may have changed?

Find out in this sweet romance by best-selling lesbian romance author Harper Bliss and her wife Caroline in her debut effort.

I do have a few things to say about this book as it’s unusual in 2 very distinct ways!

1. Hands up if you’d never thought you’d see the words ‘sweet romance’ on a Harper Bliss book?

I’m rather, um, known for my spicy scenes and… this book has ZERO.

I know, not selling things very well quite yet. 😉 For the first time in my life, I’ve had to write a ‘preface’ for a book in which I manage expectations. Gasp!

But, it’s true.

This is a ‘Harper & Caroline Bliss book’, not just one of mine, and after very looooong(-winded) deliberations we decided not to include any sex scenes and make it a true ‘sweet’ romance.

If you read my books solely for ‘those scenes’, you may want to skip this one and wait until regular naughty programming resumes…

BUT, this book has plenty of other things to offer, such as:
– loads of chemistry between the main characters
– a cozy English village setting
– an adorable dog (ha, not a long-haired tortie cat, for once!)
– a mild sprinkling of golf-related terms
– a sunny trip to Portugal
– and plenty of juicy golf club gossip…

I think it makes for a great beach read which, for once, won’t make you squirm in the sand uncomfortably! 😉

2. This is the first book my Mrs and I co-wrote and… most likely the last

It’s quite exclusive in that way… 😉

I love my Mrs to bits and we collaborate on books All The Time, but writing a first draft together was one step of lesbian merging too far for us.

We all know I’m a delicate little flower and sharing my inner-most writing thoughts in such great detail was one too many boundary crushed for me.

(Sometimes, we even argued over who was most long-winded of the two… which was quite disconcerting to me because she’s usually the one to cut half of my long-windedness from a first draft!)

That being said, I think Caroline did a WONDERFUL job. It’s not easy managing a fragile writer ego as part of your day job AND having to co-write a first draft yourself.

Anyway, we’ve both survived this test of our marriage and I hope you enjoy the fruits of our joint spousal labour.

You can buy the book here:
– Amazon US
– Amazon UK
– Amazon CA
– Amazon AUS
– Amazon DE

Enjoy!

NEW RELEASE: No Greater Love Than Mine (A Silver Linings Novella)

by Leave a Comment

No Greater Love Than MineNo Greater Love Than Mine: A Silver Linings Novella is OUT NOW!

Here’s the blurb:

Twenty years ago, Angela Hill and Jackie Smith shared a forbidden night of passion, that left Angela heartbroken after Jackie returned to her husband.

When a workplace injury forces Angela into counselling, her path unexpectedly crosses Jackie’s again. Their circumstances may have changed, but has time healed the wounds of the past? And can Angela and Jackie open themselves up to a second chance at love?

Find out in this hot novella full of emotion from best-selling lesbian romance author Harper Bliss.

This new series I dreamed up called Silver Linings came about for several reasons:

1. More mature characters

I have previously summed it up as ‘cougars, cougars, cougars’, but, really, it’s just my love for older characters that has driven me to start this new series.

I have a million notes for subsequent novellas already, and some will be age gap (so not all characters will be 45+, but the majority will be), some will revisit characters from previous books (Sophie and Dolores, anyone?) 😉

I’m getting on a bit as well and I like to see myself represented also…

2. Second Chances (aka Silver Linings)

What’s almost as good as an age gap romance? A second chance romance!

I once wrote a short novelette called I Still Remember about two women who knew each other as teenagers and meet again… and the response to it blew me away. I’m not sure why it has taken me this long to figure out I need to write more of these, but the point is that I have and that I’m on it!

3. I wanted to write some shorter books again

Back in the day (I believe it was the year 2012), I started out writing short stories and ‘novelettes’ and I miss the quick emotional fix I get from that. Writing novels is fun, but also quite challenging at times. (Please don’t ask me how Pink Bean 9 is progressing…)

Once I managed to convince myself it was okay to write some shorter books again, I haven’t looked back. I enjoyed writing this 18k words novella so much, that I can’t wait to start on the next one. (But yeah, Pink Bean 9…) 😉

Please bear in mind that No Greater Love Than Mine is NOT a novel. There’s plenty of drama (and hotness) and it’s very true to my style, but a full-length novel it’s not. It’s very Harper Bliss-y, however, and I dare say that if you’ve enjoyed any of my books, you’ll enjoy this one as well.

It’s available from:
– Amazon US
– Amazon UK
– Amazon CA
– Amazon AUS
– Amazon DE
– Other Amazon Stores

Enjoy!
