Update
Enspire update (on an update, over an update that was due to get updated), lol.
For those via the GoFundMe, you may have already gotten notification of this -- thank you so, so much for everything you've done!!!
On the update, I thought it would be good news, then I thought it would be bad news, but in the end -- and all death-defying bungee jumping done -- it's really, really good news!!
I can't go into details for legal reasons, but a thanks has to go to Enspire here for stepping up to the negotiating table, and also to the funds made available by you guys that's helped drastically with the legal side.
But in short: everything has been settled amicably. Normal business to resume shortly....
*Fingers still crossed*
Details coming Jan 2019.

M/M Poetry Charity Anthology: Love is Love
It was good to come at this M/M poetry anthology from a mom's pov who has a transgender boy, because the Orlando shooting hit everyone so hard. From voices across the LGBT community: moms, sons, friends, authors... all their angers, fears, but mostly a celebration over why Love is Love, they all come together in this poetry anthology. All proceeds go to the victims and families of the Orlando shooting.
What it's about:
A collection of poems composed by over fifty authors
in aid of the victims and survivors of the Orlando Pulse Attack.
On June 12, 2016, the most horrendous mass shooting in US history and an unfathomable act of hate was directed at the LGBT community in Orlando. The horror of this tragedy reverberated around the world, leaving millions shocked and appalled at the senseless violence that destroyed so many innocent lives.
In a display of solidarity with the victims and survivors of the Pulse nightclub shooting, a group of LGBTQ+ and straight allies, from all across the globe, came together to produce a collection of poems in celebration of love and acceptance.
The resulting Love is Love Poetry Anthology is dedicated to the families and victims of the shooting and all proceeds of this work will be donated to Equality Florida’s Pulse Victims Fund.
In this small way, the authors, along with the readers who purchase this work, seek to contribute to the lives of those who still suffer from the consequences of the malice directed toward them, and offer some positivity and compassion in the face of such bigotry.
Contributing Authors:
AC Benus, Aditus, Andrew Jericho, Ann Anderson, Ash Marie, Asta Idonea, Betti Gefecht, Cam Kennedy, Cynus Eldranai, Darren White, dughlas, Eddy LeFey, Eden Winters, EmiGS Em, F.E.

Scars & Scapegoats
Just a small update on the Don't series... there's two new(ish) characters about to get some Don't treatment in a tie-in Novella! Oh boy.... Now this takes place just after Backlash but before the final novel and...
How exactly do two new(ish) characters tie in to the Don't series...? Well... that's the thing, but I can say... *thumbs through Backlash pages* there's one particular Dom v sub cut that needs some bleeding...
"Who upset you, mukka?" Jack took a long, drawn out inhale of smoke. Gray leaned in and caught the exhale in a kiss, sharing taste and bad habit.
"Fy nhad," he mumbled, lips still so close to Jack's now as Gray let smoke escape his nose.
"Hm?"
"My father."
Jack dropped the cigarette and crushed it under boot. "You fuck him over for me when you catch hold of him, yeah?"
The working title for this is Scars & Scapegoats, and should hopefully be off to betas, then publishers soon. More details coming next month.
