Have a look to see the different books in one of my favourite tropes: working in food!In my debut London Calling, Jess Sharp’s life hasn’t exactly gone according to plan. She’s 32, unemployed, and single after a devastating breakup, working in a cafe. Her chaotic life seems to be spiraling until she meets someone who could be a game-changer. Plus, she learns to make cake, the way to a woman's heart.In The London of Us, Alice Di Santo has it all – everyone says so. Perfect boyfriend, great job, settled home life. But when she meets chef Rachel Cramer, all that changes.In You’re My Kind, it’s all about gorgeous, mouthwatering cakes (and women). Do you see a theme? Justine Thomas and Maddie Kind met at university, then ten years later the pair are reunited at a friend’s funeral, and now Justine can’t shake Maddie from her life. But why is she back? Why did she disappear? And more importantly, is she interested in the whole cake, or just one last slice of Justine?You can read all my novels now wherever you buy your books, or get them directly from my site: www.clarelydon.co.uk/books/ #romancenovel #bookstagram #romance ...

Tuesday Tips: Writing Lesbian Sex ScenesWhen you're writing a sex scene, it's important to focus on the emotion and not the body parts. It's not a biology exam, and nobody is going to thank you for using the word vulva. Trust me. Sex scenes in romance are like fight scenes or car chases in action-adventure books. They're essential and highly anticipated. Your characters (and your reader) have to work to get there, and when they eventually reach their peak, it's your job to ensure nobody is let down. The key thing is to make your sex scene both sensual and alluring. Describe what's happening, but do it from the perspective of the character and all that they bring to the scene. What are their hopes? What are can they see, touch, taste, hear? What's it reminding them of? What are they feeling in their heart now it's finally happening? Fingers can slide and caress. Tongues can tantalise and tease. Lube can be popped and pressed. Everything the character thought they once knew can be rewritten. Sex scenes should move the story forward. They should reflect what has gone before and what's possible from here on in. Your characters have just taken things to the next level. Show it all. Remember, you're not playing a game of Sex Twister: no crazy moves required. Don't use coarse or flowery language as that will throw your reader out of the story. Keep it real, but elevate it to a almost-perfect reality. Make sure senses tingle and stars collide. It's all in the build-up, all in the emotion. The first kiss, the first touch, the loaded look that tips your character over the edge. Romance and sex go hand in hand, so don't be scared of writing a sex scene. Instead, put yourself in your character's shoes and write from the heart. Embrace it. Have fun with it.And don't for one second think about the fact your parents might read it. #TuesdayTips #sexscenes #sex #LesbianSex #sextips #writingsex ... See MoreSee Less

I'm going to my evening class, it's a new one. "Awareness of Self", it's called. We use Jungian techniques and confrontational therapies to bring about a profound change in our inner being. It was that or Basic Pastry.
