TB arrived safe and sound in the US and is now in self-quarantine. She thanks all the listeners who wished her well in her quest to get back home.

The duo starts in right away, sharing the highlights of their 10 days together in London, which included the Lesbians Who Write meetup, the Self Publishing Show and Dixie Queen cruise on the Thames, Clare’s book launch, and a weekend in Whitstable.

In big LWW news, TB surprised Clare. Since starting the podcast, Clare has been entering the Hamilton lottery but never won tickets. TB took her to see the show.

In book news, TB returned in the nick of time to launch A Woman Complete, the last book in the Lizzie series.

The duo moves on to the topic: how are they coping during these scary times? TB, the bulk-buying American, always has a fully stocked pantry, while Clare prefers to shop daily for food. This worried TB, although Clare has plenty of wine and beer. Clare caved and bought frozen chopped onions, which she didn’t even know existed. Life changing!

Both admit it’s difficult to block out all the distressing news, but they feel lucky to have their jobs. They agree they need to continue writing because people need stories right now.
