“The relationship between Ambrose and Rafe moved me unbearably. The formality in which the novel is written, juxtaposed nicely with the emotion and passion that exists between the two characters, and creates a tension that fairly leaps off the page. Highly recommended….”

Literary Nymphs
“Erastes thrusts us back into post-Napoleonic Europe in Standish, with vivid scenic descriptions and lively period language. He has created a story that readers will enjoy not just because of his style of writing, which is fabulous all onto itself, but because of the lessons learned by two incredible written characters. This is a story to be read and embraced. ” -Five Nymphs

“So Standish turns out to be an unusual book. The writing itself is terrific. The tone is lush and melodramatic in the tradition of the gothic romance, but the action is gritty and realistic: this is not a great time period to be alive unless you’re wealthy and powerful. (Warning: there are scenes of nonconsensual sex.) The historical details are convincing and richly textured without slowing the book’s pacing. The ending comes together with unusual emotional power; here at Obsidian Bookshelf, I closed the book at last with a sense of exhilaration, and thought, ‘Wow, I’m glad I read this’.”

Welcome

Hello. Whatever you are here for, I hope I can help you find it. There’s my writing, of course, smutty short stories and historical gay novels, but it doesn’t stop there.

I’m the Director of the Erotic Authors’ Association and it’s a great place for networking, and getting your news heard by your peers.

I’m also the creator of Speak Its Name - the only place on the net for reviews, resources and discussion of gay historical fiction.

I regularly blog on The Macaronis and Unusual Historicals

Anyway, there’s a lot here, links and resources include:

Erastes writes romantic historical homoerotic fiction. Whether you like the romance of the Regency era, or the desperate sadness of the conflict that tore a nation apart, the English Civil War.

If you like 19th Century Florence with all its incipient corruption, or hot sex on the Titanic. If you like your men beautiful, and their love to be pitted with angst and disasters - and really hot sex - then Erastes has the fiction for you.

Enjoy the snippets!
