Stacey Gomez asked Isla Chiu:

Hello Isla, I just read a lot of your recent books, like Caught by my Bully's Dad and My Dad's Former Best Friend Released from Prison. I was just wondering why you didn't make the story longer? Are you just wanting to punish your audience for wanting more?

Isla Chiu Hi Stacey,

First, a big thank you for reading my books! And second, sorry, I didn't mean to punish my audience with the length of my recent stories 😅

While I do enjoy writing longer stories, the truth is I'm a pretty slow writer. And to be really honest, my longer stories - while readers liked them and I liked them, they didn't do so well sales wise. But my recent short stories have been performing better - much to my surprise! - and I do enjoy writing them.

That being said, once I get my writing speed up, I do hope to return to writing longer books and still be able to maintain a decent publishing frequency. And if there is a lot of demand for it, maybe I'll also write bonus scenes/expanded versions of my recent shorts!

Again, a big thank you for reading my stuff, and please feel free to email me/ask me here for any further questions!
