All I Want For Christmas Hits USA Today!

Posted on November 29, 2018

All I Want For Christmas cover

All I Want For Christmas is the first lesbian romance where I truly embraced farce. It’s a romantic comedy at heart – my favourite genre – but it’s also where I stepped up the cringe-worthy farce factor, putting Tori Hammond through the wringer on her way to finding love. I defy you read the book and not laugh out loud, but also cringe out loud!

In the spirit of Pride, here are five things from my week beginning With P: Pride in Print: Representation in fiction is something I've always taken seriously. Writing fictional happy endings for queer women empowers readers to believe in real-life happy endings. Because they happen every day in every way. Love really can lift you up where you belong! Picture Perfect: This week, I've been working in a cowork space in Hackney Wick, and discovering new bits of the area I've never seen before. I've lived in London for 26 years, but I'm nowhere near scratching the surface. It's why I love this city hard. Pulp Fiction: Tonight I'm off to relive my university years by seeing Pulp with one of my best mates. Along with Blur and Radiohead, Pulp were a band that played our uni countless times in the 90s before they made it big. In the words of Jarvis: "Do you remember the first time?" I do, and it was glorious!Playback Princess: If you've been waiting for the audiobook of The Princess Match, you can ​buy it direct from my shop for 30% off​. It's also dropped on ​Audible, Apple and Amazon​. Spotify and other distributors still to come! Perfect for sapphic multitasking, whether you're doing the washing up, walking the dog, or pretending to pay attention in that meeting that could have been an email.Pleated Paradise: This week, we've ordered blinds for all our upstairs bedrooms. This is the first time I've ever ordered made-to-measure blinds from a shop, which surely ushers me into a new era of maturity. The kind where I know thread counts and have opinions on grout. It's only a hop, skip and a low-impact jump before I'm making jam. What are the highlights from your week? If they begin with P, even better...Shop my books here: clarelydon.shop#gaypride #lgbtpride #queerpride #lesbianpride #gaypridemonth #junepride #pride #equalityforall #happypride #sapphic #sapphiclove #girlswholikegirls #pride2025 #pridemonth2025 ...

Pride month kicks off with parades and rainbows, but don't forget: Pride started as a riot, and the fight continues.To me, Pride means authenticity, love, empowerment, and visibility. It's about being proud of who you are as a person, and who we are as a community.I write sapphic romance because I wanted to see these values in stories for queer women. Women like me falling in love, living boldly, and claiming their happy endings. Especially today, representation is so important. My novels celebrate that pride, and I hope they inspire it in readers, too.This Pride season, be unapologetically yourself. 🏳️‍🌈 🌈 ❤️What does Pride mean to you?

Fab to attend the Kindle Storyteller Awards this week. This year, it was held in The London Library, a venue I've never been in before, but one that was very cool to visit. Do you have a favourite #London haunt? #lesbian #lesfic #sapphic #queer #wlw

Happy second birthday to The Christmas Catch! I had some fab reviews for my third festive #sapphic #romance, but this one - "I laughed so hard I had to pee!" - really made me smile. https://clarelydon.shop/products/the-christmas-catch-ebook #lesbian #lesfic #lesbianfiction #lesbianromance #sapphic #queer #wlw
