Hi DC,
I just checked the file I had uploaded to PW and the PDF version has 200 odd pages and I imagine the epub and Mobi versions would be the same as they were all created from the same Doc file. I am not sure why it is being shown on Kindle and Goodreads as 505 pages, unless they were referring to the Print version. But the file was intended to be a full book. One way you can check is that if it contains that long list of Other Books I have written at the end of it, then it is definitely the full book version. If your version doesn't have that, can you please let me know as that means somehow I have uploaded the wrong file to Prolific. Thank you so much for alerting me something might be wrong, and thank you for your kind comments about my stories :)

Hi Pratyusha,
Thank you for your question. Yes, Rocky and Mal's story was the last book in that series. I did mention in that book that Lucian and Noah accepted that their third might not even be born at the time of that story, so they had a long time to wait. I have added them to my short story idea list, and I do anticipate a standalone story about them and their third will be written in the future. Other characters, such as Levi and Eagle have also been added to my short story list as I felt they deserved mates of their own as well. Have a lovely day and thank you for enjoying my work.

Hi there, and thank you for your question :) I have been getting numerous messages since I released Ant and Viktor's story, asking if I will be writing more about those two, and so please keep an eye out for their second book later in the year. Have a wonderful day and thank you for your lovely comments. You really boosted my smile today :)

Hi Kate,
Firstly, can I say thank you so much for your lovely question and comments. It's really boosted my smile this morning.
When I originally thought of the City Dragon series, I thought there would be six books - for the three brothers and then the three cousins as well. And then, as you say, there was someone like Bryce who could do with a short story of his own.
But when I wrote the end of Byron's story, I sort of felt that it was an ending of sorts, and I wondered then if I would write any more in that series. The thing is, as you know, dragons can be quite persistent beings, lol, and there is one in particular who has been nagging on the corners of my brain.
So while I'm not promising anything (hehe) there is a good chance the other stories will be written with the next one sometime early next year.
Thank you again for letting me know how much you enjoyed my stories,
Hugs
Lisa
P.S. That extra son idea is definitely an interesting idea, thank you :)

Hi Angela,
Thank you so much for your question, and for enjoying my stories. I had hoped that the audio books for the last three books in the Gods series would've been done by now, but I have had a few "narrator" problems. But I am working on finding someone else to continue these narrations for me, and I do hope they will be out on audio soon. In the meantime, they are available as ebooks as well as paperbacks, as the ebooks are the first format they are released in. I hope that helps. Have a lovely day and thank you again for getting in touch, hugs, Lisa.

Hi Sharon,
Thank you for your message. My goodness, I had to really think about that, because the last time I wrote a book about writing must have been about fifteen years ago. And you are not missing anything by not reading it, because it really wasn't good. I removed it from sale about five years ago, I think, along with a lot of my non-fiction titles. I learned from writing my fiction stories that to make a good reader experience, an author had to have a passion for their characters and the worlds they create, which made my writing book completely obsolete, Lol. But thank you for that blast from the past. It reminded me of how far I've come. Have a wonderful day and thank you again, hugs, Lisa.

Hello, and thank you so much for considering my stories :)
Some of the Hellhound Collar books have mpreg, although the "shadow puppies" reference in the blurb for book 4 relates to Patrick's terminology for Faron's Hellhound spirit that Patrick could see before he realized who Faron was. That one is not mpreg.
The prequel (Collar and Scruff) and Book 1 (Better than Sweets) are not mpreg (neither is book 4) but Precious Blue (#2) has mpreg elements in the last chapter of the book, and in Cain's Shadow (#3) there are also mpreg elements.
Incidentally, all of these stories can be read as standalone - as with most of my series reading other titles in the series simply helps understand secondary characters better, but in the Hellhound Collar series each of the books contains individual story lines.
I hope this helps. I know not all people like mpreg or MMM stories, so what I usually do is mark those titles that include those elements in the "Other Books By Lisa Oliver" section at the back of any of my stories.
Have a lovely weekend and thank you for your interest.

Hi Jess, thank you so much. I know they were a deviation from what I usually wrote but I enjoy writing these stories so much - so yes, there will be more. I happen to be writing one now. Have a wonderful day and hugs xx

Hello Angela, thank you for your question and for enjoying my books. I am working on new titles being available via audio - my narrator is a busy man, but he does such a wonderful job. At the moment he is working on Don't Judge A Prince, and then he will be finishing off the three latest books I co-wrote with the wonderful author JP Sayle. And then it's back to my books as I am hopeful I will have a new Gods book written by then. Have a wonderful day, and thank you again for your lovely comments. Hugs, Lisa.

Hi Mildred, thank you so much for your question and I am thrilled you enjoy my stories. And you have good timing on the sequel to Illuminate, as I am on the home stretch with regards to finishing that one, and it will be released around the 20th of September or thereabouts.
Have a wonderful weekend :)

Hi Andrea, thank you so much for your question and your support :) I haven't forgotten the City Dragons series, as there are three cousins that would probably love to find their mates too, so hopefully later in the year. Have a wonderful day and thank you again :)

Hi Jasmine,
I am not sure if my heart could take a plot line like that :) I think the closest I came to that was in Liam's Lament, where poor Liam had to kill his mate Theo, who was a threat to both himself and his other mate Beau. In that instance, the Fates intervened and Beau and Liam were granted another mate - someone who didn't realize they had missed their opportunity at a mate because of Theo.
Thinking about it, it would be possible to have a plot line like that in the god series, maybe. Perhaps one of the gods didn't follow through with a suggestion from the Fates, and then had to wait countless years for either that person to be reborn again, or for a new chance for a mate to occur and as I am writing this, I was reminded of Orin's father in Riding the Storm.
You might remember Orin's mom died about fifty years before and his father (an elf) was in stasis. The suggestion from the elf seers was that if Orin's father was revived, then it was possible the Fates would allow Orin's mom to come back in some way, and that they could meet again.
But it is definitely an interesting idea :) Have a lovely day :)

Hi Tawnya, I am sorry, it is still on the "to-write" list - the pandemic and resulting issues has been playing havoc on my muse, I'm afraid.
Have a lovely weekend,

Hi Chas, thank you for letting me know - the weird thing is, when I am writing, my head is in the scene that I am writing about, and I often nod, or shake my head, just as I imagine my characters doing, as I am writing. So I am guessing the reason it is in my books (and my editors haven't picked it up either) is because it's something I do wrong myself - and I am not sure what that says about me lol. But a teaching moment for my editors definitely and I will let them know. Have a wonderful weekend :)

Hi Jasmine, to be honest, I am not sure. I know there are still things I want to explore with Cloverleah, but the next book in the Gods series will be Loki. Now, no one knows what he's going to get up to, including me lol, so it could be that he ends up at Cloverleah... or not. He's being very secretive in my head :) But there will be more of Kane, Shawn and the others when the series about the children is written too. Have a lovely day :)

Hi there, thank you for your question - it is on my "to-write" list, but I haven't started it yet, sorry. My muse has been all over the place lately. Have a wonderful day :)

Hi Sabi, thank you for your question and I am sorry for the confusion - I wrote some half-numbered books in the A&O series which Amazon did not like, so I had to renumber the books from 7 onwards. You can find a complete list of the A&O books on my blog here - http://www.supernaturalsmut.com/what-... have a lovely day :)

Hi Jessica,
Thank you so much - Scott and Damien are two of my most popular characters and while I don't have any books planned about them specifically, I am considering a new series about the San Antonio pack to start later this year. Happy New Year and thank you again :)

Hello :)
As you know, this year has not been the best and many of the books I hoped I could write just didn't happen. When I'm under stress, I tend to let my muse have a free rein, so I can write something, but unfortunately, that doesn't result in books my lovely readers are waiting for.
I do have more books planned for the Arrowtown series, and I'm thrilled you enjoy them enough to ask about them. I am hoping to have something new in that series in the first quarter of 2021 as it is definitely in the top three of my to-write list.
Have a lovely day and thank you :)
