First of all, my new website design isn’t entirely finished yet, but I’m getting there. Please, bear with! đŸ˜‰ Second: If you want a review copy of Once in a Lifetime in return for an honest Amazon and/or Goodreads review, please email me at harperbliss@gmail.com! And, last but not least: here’s a preview of my […]
Q&A: Lisabet Sarai on ‘Her Own Devices’
I’m truly honoured to have erotica legend Lisabet Sarai as a guest on my blog today. Ladylit recently published her F/F erotica short story collection Her Own Devices, and she has stopped by to answer a few of my burning questions. Before we continue to the questionnaire, I don’t want to miss the opportunity to tell you […]
Under Construction
I’m doing some work on my website, so some pages and posts may appear a bit wonky. I’m trying to get this sorted asap. Things should look shiny and new soon.
Writing ‘Seasons Of Love’ – Mission Aborted
I’ve decided to not write another book in ten days and have therefore postponed writing the first draft of Seasons Of Love. I did this for several reasons, the main ones being: – There are 14 work days left before we leave for Belgium. If I use 10 of those for writing this book, that […]
Writing ‘Seasons Of Love’ – Day 1
Well… I did start, but I didn’t get very far. As much as I wanted to just jump from one book to the next, apparently it doesn’t work that way. I felt it as soon as I opened my eyes. I was actually nervous to start this book. I have many emotions when starting on […]
Writing ‘Release The Stars’ – Day 11
I posted this screenshot on Twitter today at 11.30AM, after I had typed the two most satisfying words in a writer’s life: The End. A heavy rain shower woke me up at 4.30AM this morning (it’s rainy season in Hong Kong) and instead of trying to get back to sleep, I just got up and […]
Writing ‘Release The Stars’ – Day 10
I’m so close to the end of Release The Stars now, I think I might be suffering from (wholly imaginary, I’m sure) Finishing Fear Syndrome. After a decent morning (where I did start later than usual, but the words flowed nicely), I only managed one more session after lunch. I just blocked. It’s a bit […]
NEW RELEASE: Opposites Attract
My first idea after brainstorming my story for Opposites Attract was to get a very messy person together with someone prone to OCD, but then I watched the movie Swimming Pool, featuring a very uptight Charlotte Rampling and an extremely sensually portrayed Ludivine Sagnier and I became slightly obsessed. I started dreaming of a lesbian plot […]
Writing ‘Release The Stars’ – Day 9
Yesterday was one of those days when word count obsessions and staying ahead of schedule paid off massively, as I spent most of Friday on the sofa, producing 0 words. It happens. I won’t say I didn’t experience any guilt for not even trying to write a single word, but that’s just how it is sometimes. […]
Writing ‘Release The Stars’ – Day 8
Today was not as heroic as yesterday, but well within expectations. Everything is still on schedule and my manuscript has now reached 46.000 words. This is a short novel (the goal is 60.000 words) so I can already smell the finish line, which doesn’t help with my focus. If, however, I have two good writing […]
