A Girl Called London: Curve Review

AGCL-FINAL-300x480I was thrilled to get this brilliant review in Curve magazine for my latest lesbian romance, A Girl Called London – and not just because the reviewer liked the book. Writing a review is a skill and this review is beautifully crafted, simply a great bit of writing. So thanks to its talented author, Tara Scott.

Here’s an excerpt:

“A Girl Called London is exactly the kind of book we need right now. The news cycle is a constant garbage fire no matter where you live, and it’s not an easy time to be queer and in tune with the world around us (not that it’s ever been). Books like this are a perfect solace, blocking out the world for a few hours and reminding us that happy endings are possible, wonderful and worth celebrating.”

Clare Lydon: Weekly Update

ice-cream-400What am I working on? My new novel, Twice In A Lifetime, due later this year. I’ve nearly finished the first edit and I really like it so far. It’s a second-chance romance and it’s set in the USA, in Chicago, the first time I’ve ever set one of my books outside the UK.

I’ve been walking up and down Lake Michigan, the Magnificent Mile, and sailing down the Chicago river.

Writing A Girl Called London

When I first started thinking about writing the third book in the London Romance series, I wasn’t sure which character to focus on – should I choose one from a previous book, or should I make up a fresh one? But then Tanya kept knocking at my plot door, and she was quite persistent. I wondered if she’d been too much as Meg’s stroppy ex in This London Love, but by the end of that book, she’d redeemed herself. The die was cast: Tanya was going to be the linking character.

A Girl Called London, the long-awaited follow-up to London Calling and This London Love, is back from the editor with a thumbs-up – hurrah!
