Happy birthday, Fool for Love

November 19, 2013 by Harper Bliss Leave a Comment

Fool for Love Time really does fly when you’re having fun. I was puttering around in my Amazon KDP account yesterday and my eye fell on the day I uploaded Fool for Love. That happened to be 19 November 2012. I had no way of knowing this at the time (all I knew was that I desperately wanted to write a series set in Hong Kong featuring sexy lesbians) but the High Rise series took things to a different level for me. Most e-mails I get from readers are about the series, stating either a preference for Alex & Maddie or Nat & Isabella (still about a 60/40 edge for Alex & Maddie).

Of course, Fool for Love has been free for a while, and if you haven’t tried it yet.. what are you waiting for? 😉 Anyway, writing a series is so much fun because, when it’s done, you end up with a novel-length work (which readers really seem to appreciate), but while you’re writing it, it doesn’t feel like writing a novel because the separate novellas are much shorter. All of this to say, I think I may have to start a new series in 2014… 😉

But, before that, I need to finish Summer’s End, of course. As my wife gently pointed out after reading it… it may need some work (*). I know what needs to be done though, and as it happens, Summer’s End is set (mostly) in Thailand and I’m going to Phuket this weekend. This week I’m knee-deep in edits for the Christmas mini-anthology and Laila Blake’s amazing novella Driftwood Deeds (to be released by A Hotter State in December!), but next week when I come back, I hope to finish the rewrites Summer’s End needs, inspired by a few evenings of drinking cold beer and eating delicious Thai food while watching the sunset on the beach like my characters (if the weather forecast is anything to go by, though, I’ll mostly be seeking shelter from thunderstorms, but hey, it’ll still be hot.)

(*) Maybe I shouldn’t be publishing this on my blog, but I did promise to share the entire writing process of Summer’s End and, let’s face it, hardly anyone writes stellar first drafts… 😉

Hump Day Hook: Fool for Love

July 10, 2013 by Harper Bliss 5 Comments

Fool for Love To celebrate that Fool for Love (High Rise Novella One) is free forever, this week’s Hump Day Hook is a snippet from Alex and Maddie’s story. If you like the hook, you might as well download Fool for Love for FREE! Enjoy! 😉

Alex took another gulp from her wine and braved Maddie’s stare. “Have you always wanted to be a banker?” This was not what she wanted to say. She really wanted to ask Maddie if she could kiss her—as if the question needed asking. Instead, she’d opted for caution.

Maddie shot her the most disarming smile ever, a smile so generous and warm, Alex had to suppress the urge to snuggle up to her and luxuriate in an embrace of those luscious arms. “Of course not. Who does?” Maddie put her hands on Alex’s knee, zapping sparks of electricity through the flesh beneath. “I wanted to be a vet, just like any other girl with lesbian tendencies in the Melbourne suburbs. When I was fourteen, I wanted to be a flying doctor for a while, but only because I had a crush on nurse Kate in the TV show.”

Alex allowed herself a silly chuckle. “You must think I’m terribly uptight.”

Maddie shook her head while digging her nails into Alex’s jeans. “The only thing I think is that you’ve been hurt. Anyway, you must think I’m quite the floozy.”

“Floozy?” Alex suppressed a fit of giggles. “Yeah, that about sums it up. A banker floozy with a seriously deranged moral compass.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.” Alex adored Maddie’s self-deprecating sense of humour. “Now.” Maddie leaned a little closer and put her wine glass on the table. “This floozy would really like to kiss those uptight lips of yours.” Maddie took Alex’s glass from her hand and put it away. “No tongue, I promise.”

“That’s about the most romantic proposal I’ve ever had.”

“I thought so.” Maddie slanted her head sideways as she inched closer. Alex smelled wine and that expensive banker perfume she remembered—often and usually when alone in bed—from the evening on Isabella’s roof top. Maddie’s lips tasted salty and promising. She brought her hand to Alex’s neck and softly dug her fingertips into her muscles while parting her lips. Slowly, she trailed her tongue over Alex’s lips. Alex immediately reciprocated by opening her mouth and allowing Maddie’s tongue to slip in.

Alex’s blood hammered in her veins as Maddie sank her teeth into her bottom lip before sucking it into her mouth. Alex grabbed Maddie’s head and pulled her closer. She ran her fingers through Maddie’s hair to keep them from exploring anywhere else—somewhere with a point of no return.

When Maddie eased her head back, a big smile etched around the corners of her mouth, Alex yanked it back towards her immediately. Maddie brought her lips close to Alex’s ear.

“Don’t you want me to stop?” She finished her question with a peck on Alex’s ear lobe, soft, but enough to set Alex’s flesh on fire again.

“God no,” Alex moaned. Maddie’s lips travelled along her neck, tracing a moist path of kisses on the way to her clavicle. “Kissing is perfectly acceptable on the first date.”

Hump Day Hook: Fool for Love

March 6, 2013 by Harper Bliss 8 Comments

Here we go for another round of Hump Day Hook-ing. This one’s from Fool for Love, the first novella in my High Rise series.

“Where does it hurt?”

“Around here.” Alex pointed at a spot above her right shoulder blade.

“At your service, madam.” Maddie scanned Alex’s tank top-clad back. “I wouldn’t want to stain your clothes though. Would you mind if I pulled your top up?”

“Of course not.” Alex beat her to it and in one swift movement her back was bare, apart from the straps supporting her bra. Maddie stood there swallowing the dryness out of her throat. A naked back usually didn’t have this effect on her, but not all naked backs looked as perfectly sculpted as this one. She was almost afraid to touch it, scared she would ruin it somehow.

“Thanks.” She reached out her hand until her fingertips touched Alex’s shoulder, the electricity zapping through her flesh overwhelming her. “I’m going to lower these a bit.” Slowly, she brushed the straps of Alex’s bra down her shoulders. “Just for better access.” Maddie squirted some oil in her hand and heated it between her palms.
