Hop Against Homophobia
Hi all.
I'm briefly popping in to let you know that this year, we're having a Hop Against Homophobia. Over 250 people - authors, reviewers, publishers etc. - have signed up in an effort to increase awareness and share our experiences regarding homophobia with each other and the world. There are prizes, and the hop lasts between 17-20. I myself will be giving away copies of two of my ebooks, Moon's Sweet Poison and A Mate Beyond Their Reach.

New release: Black and White
The S.E.X. Factor 4. Black and White is officially out (from yesterday, but I forgot updating my GR haha).
Blurb
Black panther–shifter Onyx Grosvenor is a man without a past. When he meets Ivory Starr, he hopes he can have a future, perhaps build one at the fox’s side. But such a thing is easier said than done. Without a sense of his true identity, Onyx doesn’t feel he can be the man Ivory deserves.
Arctic fox Ivory has been attracted to Onyx ever since the fateful night he met the panther. It is an ongoing struggle not to pursue their chemistry and, instead, be the friend Onyx needs.
But both Ivory and Onyx have demons just waiting to attack. When those dark secrets make a comeback, the sexual tension between the two explodes into a bond that surprises them, and everyone else. Will that connection be enough to keep two people as different as night and day together, or will Ivory and Onyx be parted by circumstances beyond their control?

When Angel is put in charge of an incubus student, the new arrival’s flirtation awakens Clark’s jealousy. And while Angel and Clark struggle with their emotions, a murder shakes the academy and is pinned on Clark. Can their love prevail?
