by 2 Comments

Everything Between UsHello from Christchurch, New Zealand, where I’m having an excellent week because two days ago I finished the first draft of Pink Bean 4 and today Pink Bean 3 is out! 😉

The third book in the series called Everything Between Us is now available on all Amazon stores. In it, we follow Pink Bean barista Josephine as she goes on a journey of self-love and acceptance.

Here’s the blurb:

The only size that matters is your heart’s.

When PhD student and Pink Bean barista Josephine Greenwood meets her feminist idol Caitlin James she’s starstruck. But when Caitlin starts showing a more than friendly interest in her, Josephine can’t believe Caitlin’s advances are genuine.

Her issues with her own body and how people see her threaten to cut off any prospect of romance before it has the chance to blossom. Will Caitlin be able to break down the walls Josephine has built around herself and open her mind to the possibility of romantic happiness?

Don’t miss this brand new instalment of best-selling lesbian romance author Harper Bliss’ much-loved Pink Bean series.

I’m absolutely thrilled with the reviews this book has garnered so far. Some of them (like this one) have even made me blush like Josephine does at the end of Chapter 1. 😉

Enjoy!

P.S. With Pink Bean 4 written, I’ve started plotting Pink Bean 5 and plan to start writing it next Monday, when I will (once again) embark on one of my crazy challenges. The plan is to write Pink Bean 5, 6, & 7 back-to-back and in within the next 15 weeks. More info soon. ;-0

NEW RELEASE: Beneath the Surface

by 2 Comments

Beneath the Surface (Pink Bean Book 2) I’m very excited for two reasons! First: to have one final release before the end of the year. Second: that the book in question is Book #2 in my Pink Bean series! Not only do we return to Sydney, but we also go back in time in this book… to the very beginning of Kristin and Sheryl’s relationship. This kind of makes it a Pink Bean origin story, if you will.

One of the questions I get asked the most is to write a story about a long-term couple who have withstood the test of time and Kristin and Sheryl gave me the perfect opportunity to do so. This makes the book a complete standalone (and the Pink Bean only gets founded quite late in the story) but it was very entertaining to delve into these two ladies’ pasts.

A word of warning: this book is not as light-hearted as No Strings Attached (Pink Bean – Book One). If you read No Strings Attached and look at the cover of Beneath the Surface it’s pretty easy to put two and two together and guess at the theme of this book. Kristin and Sheryl have a rough ride but, of course (mild spoiler alert ;-p), as always in my books, a happy ending is what it’s all about.

This book is all about the sacrifices we make for love and how it sometimes, almost unnoticed, can begin to slip away.

Here’s the blurb:

The path of true love never did run straight.

Twenty years ago, Kristin Park and Sheryl Johnson were brought together by wine. Is wine also what will tear them apart today?

Beneath the Surface goes back in time to the moment Kristin and Sheryl first meet, and offers a revelatory glimpse into the ups and downs of their seemingly perfect relationship.
Grab a cup of coffee—or a glass of wine—and find out what really happens behind the closed doors of The Pink Bean.

Don’t miss this brand new instalment, and origin story, of best-selling lesbian romance author Harper Bliss’ much-loved Pink Bean series.

P.S. A few days ago I finished the first draft of Pink Bean – Book Three! (It’s one of those books that just tumbled out of me.) This means you won’t have to wait very long for the next instalment in the series. Yay!

French Kissing

by 6 Comments

I’m about to finish the first draft of the first episode of my new series called French Kissing. It’s set in Paris, has four main characters (and corresponding points of view), lots of drama and a few sexy scenes to keep the juices flowing. 😉 The blurb will follow later, but I wanted to talk a little about the format of this series and my plans with it.

French Kissing is a project of rather epic proportions. Each episode will be about 25.000 words long and I will write 6 episodes per season. The idea is to, ultimately, create multiple seasons. This means that the individual novellas will not be stand-alone stories, but parts of an ongoing serial.

I had to get out of pantser-mode and plot the first season (to distribute the drama over all 6 episodes) which in the end, all episodes combined, will amount to 150.000 words of lesbian erotic romance. And that’s just season one. (As I said, quite epic. ;-0) It’s far removed from my usual 10.000 words stand-alone novelettes, but I have had some practice with the High Rise series. The most common question I get about High Rise is whether there will be a sequel, which is why I decided to devise French Kissing in this serialised way. If it does well, it never has to end.

The plan is to release the first episode around the end of February, with a new instalment every month. From the beginning of February onwards I’ll start introducing the four main characters on here. I’ll talk about the setting, why I chose Paris and how my wife convinced me to, for once, include a couple in a long-term relationship in one of my stories. 😉

Creating this series is a new way of doing things for me, but this is the brave new world of publishing after all (and I’ve grown quite fond of my four characters already, so I believe in it with all my heart.) 2014 is going to be very exciting (I’ll have more thrilling news to share soon) and I hope you’ll join me on the ride.

Meanwhile, here’s the cover for French Kissing (Episode One):
