Ana Clements: A Sapphic Fiction February Interview

Now, I know Sapphic Fiction February has so far been full of author interviews, but today we’re doing something a little different! Ana Clements is not an author, but an audiobook narrator! You’ll have likely heard her voice narrating Sapphic stories such as Lise Gold’s series ‘The Resort’ , ‘That Certain Something’ by Clare Ashton and a multitude by Emma Nichols, including ‘Elodie’ and ‘Don’t Tell Me Who To Love’ .

With that in mind, I had to adjust the questions for this interview slightly. I ...

TJ Dallas: A Sapphic Fiction February Interview

To spice up this pretty bland, boring Tuesday, I have interviewed the wonderful TJ Dallas! TJ is a brilliant author, of Sapphic erotica and romance (the latter under the pseudonym Taryn J Dallas). She is well-known for the award-winning Cardinal series, and most recently the opposites-attract romance novella The Planck Paradox . She also has another Sapphic romance novella coming this summer, called The Trick To Finding Love – and from the teaser she recently put on her Instagram, it looks amazin...

Jenn Matthews: A (Bonus) Sapphic Fiction February Interview

Jenn and I met only briefly at the South Coast Sapphic Hang Out last May, but I could already tell that we shared a common interest in mental health. Jenn’s day job is as a health-care assistant at a mental health rehabilitation unit, and as such her books often include people on what her author bio calls the ‘fringe’ of society. Her latest book, Love, Nature , is no exception – and doesn’t it have a beautiful cover? And to make things even more exciting… it’s her birthday today!! Hence this bonu...

Victoria Hawthorne: A Sapphic Fiction February Interview

Victoria Hawthorne is the author of The House at Helygen , a fabulous dual-timeline historical fiction, and soon-to-be-released The Darkest Night , an immersive story full of family secrets. She also writes psychological suspense under the name of Vikki Patis . I am delighted to present to you all this interview with Victoria – it’s always so exciting to see how my fellow authors do things (and their opinions on sandwiches – gluten-free, in Victoria’s case)!

Introduce yourself! Tell us a little bi...

Marianne Ratcliffe: A Sapphic Fiction February Interview

Marianne Ratcliffe is an author who will absolutely immerse you in the worlds she creates. It’s always a risk with historical fiction that the language used could go over the reader’s head – but I can safely say that this did not happen with me and Marianne’s writing. I have been lucky enough to beta read for Marianne and oh my goodness, her writing is incredible!! Not only that, she is also a beta reader herself, and without her input, my book The Summer We’ve Had would not have made as much se...

Violet Morley: A Sapphic Fiction February Interview

Violet Morley is the author of four fabulous Sapphic novels, both historical and modern. She also has a cat called Pigeon (isn’t that adorable?) and is a huge Gentleman Jack fan… which means, in my book, she and I are automatically friends for life. (Not sure if she knows it yet.) On top of that, of course, she’s a tremendously talented writer – I reviewed her debut novel, Sprinkled In The Stars , in my last newsletter, which you can read by signing up here – and has a great sense of humour, whic...

Emily Hayes: A Sapphic Fiction February Interview

I’ve heard it said that books written by Emily Hayes should come with fire warnings…

Emily is an avid reader and writer who specialises in searing hot age-gap, ice-queen and/or rich-girl-poor-girl Sapphic romances, with guaranteed happily-ever-afters. Her latest book, Rival To The CEO , has only been out a matter of weeks but it’s already received great reviews – one Kindle Customer called Emily ‘an extraordinary writer that leaves you totally entranced with her stories’, which just about sums h...

Carolyn Elizabeth: A Sapphic Fiction February Interview

Today is a very exciting day for fans of Goldie-award-winning author Carolyn Elizabeth. Not only can you read this exciting interview with her, where she talks about how she started writing, how she creates her books and what sandwich she’d be… but she also has a book out in just a few days!! Kiss Shot looks absolutely thrilling, and very educational if you’re like me and have absolutely no knowledge of pool!!

Go and check out Carolyn's books today – and enjoy this interview!

Introduce yourse...

Lily Seabrooke: A Sapphic Fiction February Interview

What can I say about Lily Seabrooke that could do justice to what a sweet human being and ridiculously talented writer she is? Her books are full of trans representation, adorable people and moments that will melt the hearts of even the frostiest of ice queens. And did I mention she is one of the sweetest and most positive people I’ve ever known?? (And she loves cake. We’re definitely friends.)

Lily’s response when I sent out these interview questions made my day. We talked about mac ‘n’ cheese...
