My kids totally spoiled me for my 65th birthday. I got two new recliner chairs, and then my kids also removed my old couches for me, so I didn't have to worry about that either. Huge thanks to @PeterFox, @ThomasWatson and @HollyOliver - You made my day so very special and I can't thank you enough <3

Do you like these boots? I like these boots. I've loved the idea of Doc Marten boots since I was sixteen years old, but I couldn't afford them then. I saved up for these ones, determined to have one decent pair now I am a lot older, but I never realized how long it would take me to put them on lol.

#WIP News - I did start Levi and Calvin's story, which will be the final book in the Assassin's Alley series. But then I decided I didn't like it, so I'm starting again. So instead of giving you an actual WIP, here's a snippet from The Tiger's Deadly Smile which is available

Such a beautiful bunch of flowers delivered for my recent birthday - thank you so much @KellyCortesi, they are so pretty. And then... and then... I got another bunch of beautiful roses from my daughter @HollyOliver on the day itself because she knows roses are my favorite flower.

#BlastFromThePast [Book one in the Hellhound Collar series] There has been a bit of confusion on Amazon about the book order in the series. Technically, Dance in the Stones is book 9 in the series, but Book 1 (Collar and Scruff) is showing as related to that series, not actually part of the main

#TinyTeaser Did you see???? Did you see??? Dance in the Stones, Damon and Redford's story from the Hellhound Collar series is now LIVE :) And as you saw from last week's teaser, their meeting wasn't a case of a handshake and straight to bed, lol. This is from Redford's POV, recalling the words of

I got a gorgeous surprise in the mail today - a huge thank you to one of my lovely readers who made me a Cloverleah Pack Wolf Mug - isn't it absolutely gorgeous... and it's one of the larger sized mugs too, which will give me plenty of cuppas so I can keep writing. Thank you so much, my friend <3 <3

#WIP - I did it, I finally, finally typed "The End" on my Muse on Holiday story - Loving the Stupid Assassin. So much for being a short story, lol, it's 55,000 words, and now it's on it's way to the editors.

I had a lovely visit from my grandson Malacai recently, and he brought along two of his friends. I was talking to them about the technical side of doing Live writing sprints on my YouTube channel, which is something I want to do, but I didn't have a clue how to mute my microphone for when we were

#BlastFromThePast A couple of my favorites from the Hellhound Collar series make more than a cameo appearance in Dance in the Stones. How many of you remember Kolton's story, who also found a gargoyle mate? That one didn't go amazingly well either, but as always they got their HEA in the end :)

Four years ago last week, I started this mini-diary habit. Although I write for a living I have never really been able to maintain a personal diary, and yet I have written in this little thing every single day for three full years now. I think because you really only need a few sentences, it's

#TinyTeaser - Damon and Redfor'd story (Dance in the Stones, Hellhound Collar series) is on preorder, so of course I'm going to share a wee snippet. I do hope you enjoy this one :) Damon: Hypothetical question. If you wanted someone to stay, even though you barely knew them, what does that mean?

Question of the week. What is your favorite romance reading trope? Are you an enemies to lovers fan, or grumpy/sunshine? Are found families your favorite, or do you prefer the Mafia/billionaire romances? I'm being nosy, but it's always great to hear what my friends are reading at the moment <3

Levi and Calvin's mate is not playing nice in my brain, so you get another sneak peek at my Muse on Holiday story. At this rate I'm going to have to put this one out instead of my Assassin's as it's likely to be finished first, lol.

#BlastfromthePast - Redford Stone, from Lamont's story in the Hellhound Collar series was always meant to be a secondary character. But when I started thinking about a castle, and Damon's story... Redford is a gargoyle, so he was the perfect fit.If you want a refresher on when Redford first hit the

Do you remember those little bears I made out of resin a few weeks ago? They came out a bit dark, and the details were difficult to pick out, but I saw @BensWorx do one on their YouTube channel the other day, and bought it. Isn't this cute? What would you call him?

#TinyTeaser - [Sobek's Joy] Okay, so this isn't a tiny tiny teaser, but can you imagine how a god might react if someone else seemed to be flirting with his mate... the mate who doesn't know about mates or who Sobek really is?

Lisa Oliver Author @lisaoliverauthor.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Okay, tell me I'm wrong. But... for all my lovely readers who remind me I am hopeless at writing standalone stories, could we agree that the Gods Made Me Do It series is actually a series of standalone books? Look at Sobek's Joy, or okay, not Seth's Reconciliation, or Thor's "Riding the Storm"

Did you hear? Did you know??? A little while ago the lovely @JPSayle and I wrote Ekon's story. I know so many readers were looking forward to that one when we finished the Assassin's to Order, and this story does take you on a wild ride that comes full circle...all the way back to the krakens.

I have been feeling poorly all week, but I wanted to do something arty. So this art journal spread was made by collaging random pieces of gelli prints that I'd made ages ago, but now with the dark themes I think it would be super cool to paint a word over the top of it.

#BlastFromThePast - I was thinking this morning that the Gods Made Me Do It series should've actually been named "The Fates Made Me Do It." With Sobek's Joy release this month, which is book 18 in that series, I thought back to book one, where Sebastian met Madison who was from Damien's Pack in

I have been getting a lot of support for Horus being my next Gods series book, after his multiple appearances in Sobek's Joy. I think we can all agree he needs a clothing makeover...I just can't write a whole book about him if I have to keep imagining him in a gold sweatshirt and sweatpants all

#BlastFromThePast - It's a given that if one of my ancient gods finds a mate, then they are going to claim that person as their own and live happily ever after. But I couldn't help thinking this morning of one of the gods series books which will go down in my records as the one time when it was

#TinyTeaser - One of the funny things I found writing Sobek's Joy is working out how an ancient god could tell his mate that they were mates, when someone like Rudy was just so busy all the time - having three kids around means constant chaos. So Sobek had to come up with some interesting ideas,

A warm sunny morning today, and it means my neighbor's cat is back. I think my back step is quieter and more peaceful than at his home, lol. I wish I could get closer, but this one is real skittish, but when he thinks no one is watching, he has fun :)

During a recent power outage (yes, the second one in two weeks), I did remember to charge my IPad this time and had so much fun, creating little cartoony style sticker designs inspired by the items on my desk. I was so pleased how this came out. How are things going at your place?

#BlastFromThePast - My new release for August is another book from The Gods Made Me Do It series, so I was thinking I should highlight some of the other titles in that series this month. My issue is that Sobek's Joy is book 18 in that series - which ones should I profile? So, I thought I'd ask.
