I love this time of year, and not just because of this hop (though I’ve got to admit this hop is rad). This is the time of possibilities, of anticipation, of the excitement of what’s to come.

Following along with that theme of possibilities, a question came to me as I perused the rather impressive list of names involved in this year’s hop: where are the dudes?

Now, I know that few men seem to write in the genres represented on the list for this hop, but I know for a fact that I’m not the only male erotica and erotic romance author out there. Are male authors of erotica or erotic romance truly that rare?

I note this not to be self-serving, but rather to pose a few follow-up questions to you:

— Would you consider purchasing and reading erotica written by a male author?

— What about erotic romance?

— Do you feel as if male authors too often don’t get things “quite right”? Be honest — I can take it!

Now on to the good stuff;)

This hop is loaded up this year (check out the prizes shown below):

But there’s more:) …

Any live person (bots, you don’t count) who leaves a comment on this post, along with their e-mail address — which is needed strictly for notification of winners — will be entered into a drawing for an electronic copy of any one Trent Evans book.

Now, although I said only one book, sometimes I slip up and give away a book to more than one person — accidents do happen:) — so make sure to get your entries in!

Please be sure to hit all the other stops on the hop too (see the list below). There is a wealth of talent on this list, and you are sure to find enough great new books to double the height of Mount To-Be-Read 🙂

Happy Reading and thanks for visiting!

Best,

Trent
