Hello Abigail,
I'm not sure if answered your question already. I see it's from a yr ago. I do not have my books on hard copy yet. It is something I'd like to pursue. I'll let you know when I do.

Hello Ginger!
I'm so pleased you're enjoying my series. I plan to publish my 8th book in the series soon. Bonded is currently in the editing phase. It's another long book, so I hope it will be worth the wait. Jason and Chance are featured in book 8. I do hope to eventually start their spin off. Book 8 of 5B will show you the direction I've intended for Jason's Chance. It will take time away from the original series, so it's a difficult balance. Thanks for the encouragement to keep at it!
All the best, Blish

Hello, Star!
Yes, I have another book coming out soonish... I've finished the manuscript and am in the editing process. The title will be Bonded (book 8 of the 5B series ) I hope you like it :).
TJ does take on an authoritarian role with Danny on occasion. He has throughout the series. They have a unique relationship, and TJ does feel responsible for him. He will never be Daddy, but he will fill in to discipline when needed. TJ's and Danny's relationship will continue to grow and evolve as they do as men. Mitch and Antonio will remain the main Alphas in the series for as long as the "boys" need it and want it.

Hi Abigail.

Hello, Ginger!
Thank you for asking. I'm currently writing the next book in the series. Sorry, it's been a slow process. I do intend to have it published with updates on TJ in Hollywood and the gym. As for Joe and Mama C. time will tell if that flame gets another chance to ignite. Jason's Chance is on the back burner at the moment. But, I haven't forgotten about it and they will make an appearance in Book 8. I'm so pleased you love the characters. I get a lot of joy out of seeing them come to life and touch the lives of readers. Thanks again, Blish

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your continued interest. I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to get back to writing. I have a 7th book for the 5B series ready to come out soon. "Breathe" should be available in on Amazon in the next couple of days :)
M.A. Blisher
Hi, I'm glad you like my series :). But, all my books are for sale at a reasonable price. I'm not sure why my other books are available on line for free. My books take a long time write, I put a lot of heart and angst over every word I write. I really appreciate your interest though!
M.A. Blisher
Hi again! Thank you so much for the generous compliments. I've had several other projects in mind, and then I went on a long writing hiatus. But, I'm back, thanks mostly from the encouragement of readers. :) Keep your eye out for Breathe!
M.A. Blisher
Four times! Oh wow! To answer your question, yes and no! Sorry, it's taking me so long to respond and for my 7th book to come out. But, it's all done and waiting on Amazon to be reviewed. Hopefully it will be out on Amazon in a day or two! :)
M.A. Blisher
YES! lol Sorry, it took soooo long! Book 7, "Breathe," should be out soon. It's under view on Amazon.
I'm so pleased you like my series :)

Hi! So sorry for my extremely late response time!
I hope you're still around to receive it. For some reason I'm just noticing it today. I love questions such as yours that asked in-depth questions about character development. Yes, I'm exploring what makes TJ tick more. I love TJ too, even tough he's cocky. Book 7 will be available soon, and you will be seeing a lot more of him. He's struggling with a dilemma that will bring him closer to understanding himself and the men he loves.

Hi Anna,
I'm so glad you found my series and enjoyed it so much. It gives me great pleasure and satisfaction when people take interest in my characters and their stories. I will continue the series as long as there continues to be room for the characters and plot to grow. I am planning to write other books, as well. I have several ideas in the works. I'm currently in the very beginning phase of co- writing a spin off to the series called, Jason's Chance.
Thanks, Blish : )

Hi Mandy,
Thanks for your interest. I am happy to hear that you've enjoyed my book so far. I am slowly writing another book. Personal situations have kept me from woking at a steady pace, so unfortunately, I don't have publish date in mind. I will post an announcement when I get closer to the finish line.

Hi Mandy,
Thank you for your question and thank you so much for all your support. I'm thrilled you enjoyed my series. Book 5 was intended to bring the storyline to a conclusion. A lot has happened since the five men have been together. Although some aspects of their lives remain uncertain, I hope readers are satisfied that their relationship is as strong as ever and heading in a positive direction. Even though not everything was wrapped up in a happy-ever-after storybook fashion, I strived keep this series as realistic as possible given their unusual circumstances and unlikely -umm grouping? I realize all my characters, and Danny in particular, still have a lot of growth yet to do as individuals and as partners. Not everything can be fixed overnight or even in the few short months they’ve been together. The effects of Danny’s abusive past will be life-long. He’s not going to wake up one day and be “cured” and the road to recovery is not straight and smooth. To top it all off, he’s still extremely young. With the help of his men, however, he is getting stronger and his outlook is hopeful. In addition to each man’s individual struggles, keeping a polyamorous relationship intact with all the complexities and multiple layers within the union requires constant work and dedication. It’s not for the faint of heart or the undetermined. I think the men have what it takes. What do you think?
Okay, so that was a long-winded response to not giving you an answer lol. Truth is, I don’t know. As I mentioned in a pervious question, I have old chapters I’m working on that I’ve left out of the series. It will require restructuring to fit into the current course of events and I have to decide if it’s worth incorporating into another book. If I do complete a book 6 to the series, it will most likely open the door to a book 7. I’m learning about these men as they are being developed and they each have their own story to tell. The younger men, especially, are just beginning their journey into adulthood. To answer your question in a roundabout way–for those of you who want a conclusion, Catch Me was it.
For those who want more, well, time will tell.

Hi Kim!
It’s always very exciting when I get new readers of my series–especially when they enjoy it so much ☺. It’s so satisfying to know that my characters and storyline are bringing pleasure to others. It’s even better to be a favorite ;). From what I read of the Dick and Shane series, they are very delightful, and I take the comparison as high praise.
I wish I had other recommendations for series, but I really don’t know of any. I know they’re out there, but I’ve not read them. I love writing and seeing my characters come alive, but one of the drawbacks for me is that (at least (hopefully) temporarily) it’s ruined my ability to read other books of the same genre. For some reason I can’t bring myself to do it.
I have a friend who’s hooked on Dan Skinner. He has a popular blog featuring sexy artwork and books that he writes, but I’m not sure if he’s written a series. Series tend to be difficult to write and maintain and are not the most lucrative for this genre. I will tell you that’s I’ve stumbled across the work of Fabian Black/Cat and read the Jack and Daniel Chronicles. The book is a silly fun domestics discipline story with no sex scenes. It’s actually the book that got me started in writing for myself. K.A. Mitchell is a successful writer of gay romance who encouraged me way back to self-publish after reading some of my stuff online. I’d also like to send a shout out to Brina Brady who has sent out a positive tweet about my series, and I promised to give her books a try once my latest was published. So I’m looking forward to finding the time to do that.
I love to encourage new writers to give their voice a try. A fan of mine requested that I write more about Jason and Damon. I’ve turned the table on her and requested that she give it a try herself. She stepped up and sent me some very impressive stuff. I’ve agreed to be a co-author with her if she keeps it up. I hope she does and we’ll have something to publish together next year.

Hi Kristine,
Thanks for sharing that you loved book 5 : ). With a series such as this there will always be unanswered questions about the men's future unless I continued it until the youngest turns 80. As it is, he's barely aged a few months since the first chapter. I fear poor Danny will be eternally 18. Which is ironic because when I began writing the series I made him so young partly because I assumed he would have aged more rapidly.
I never anticipated to be delving so deeply into the characters' psyche adding painstaking details to their lives. A lots happened in the few months these 5 have been together. In the spirit of making it as realistic as possible, there will be times when some questions are never answered and new ones will emerge.
To answer your question, it is possible that I will publish more of this series. I do have unused chapters I'd like to eventually get out. I too think about how certain things will pan out for the men. Time will tell depending on interest.

Hi Jessica,
Thank you for the interest in the series. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I did write book five as a finale for those readers looking for closure. I am also looking for an opportunity to work on something different. However, I do love the series, and there is always room to add another chapter or two–if there is interest from readers. The nice thing about writing of the lives of five young men is that there can always be more to their story.

Hi Aleasha!
I just finished a long stretch of Jury Duty so I'm a little behind schedule. I'm going to run through final edits this weekend. Catch Me will be submitted for publishing before Memorial Weekend. I Promise. I will post the cover on my blog this weekend.

Hi Jessica,
How flattering and humbling to learn you've read my books 4 times! That's wonderful. I've finished writing book 5, Catch Me. Now I'm working with editors and waiting on a cover. Hopefully it will be ready to be published in May. In the meantime, I've put a fun little chapter up on my blog under the tab Sneak Peek. It doesn't give away anything major in the plot other than to show Danny getting naughty under Amber's influence.
I hope you like it :)
