TB’s health is on the mend, but she’s still easing back into working. She’s been juggling the end of two projects this week—Clare and TB’s cowrite, One Golden Summer, and another she has coming out later this year with Miranda MacLeod. Add a couple of audiobooks and she’s got plenty to keep her busy! Clare got a haircut from her wife, and they’re still married. Win! As well as the cowrite, she’s also been working on the audio for Before You Say I Do, as well as reading The Price of Salt. Finally. Turns out this is a classic she loves. Thumbs up all round.

Onto the big questions of the week: What’s your favourite point of view to write, and do you prefer single-perspective or alternating viewpoints? Both TB and Clare agree that first-person single viewpoint is their natural sweet spot, and it’s great for really getting inside the head of a character. TB’s Lizzie series is a case in point. Meanwhile, Clare has written 4 of her 15 novels in first person. She’s happy to write third-person alternating viewpoints, though, since it lends itself perfectly to a two-lead romance. However, TB says it does bring its own pronoun nightmare, which is specific to same-sex romances. Whose hand is where in those sex scenes?

Let them know what you like to write and read—first-person or third, single or alternating perspective?
