This week, host June Thomas talks to the prolific lesbian romance author Harper Bliss, who published nearly 40 novels in the past 10 years. In the interview, Harper describes her writing routine and explains how she’s been able to write and publish so many books. She also discusses the common themes in her books and why she chooses so many different international settings.  After the interview, June and co-host Karen Han talk about Harper’s decision to self-publish and her ability to delegate certain tasks.  In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, Harper explains why one of her past books featured a politician character and why she mostly avoids overtly political plots and characters these days. She also talks about her admiration for audiobook narrator and former Working guest Abby Craden.  Send your questions about creativity and any other feedback to working@slate.com or give us a call at (304) 933-9675.
