So I'm FAR too English to come anywhere NEAR agree with Ashley Lister's personal opinion.....

But...

From the review of J is for Jealousy - and my story, Fire and Ice 

"In "Fire and Ice" the inimitable Erastes tells a torrid tale of homosexual passion. Erastes writes erotica like Oscar Wilde with an erection: mingling wit and wisdom with the power to engage and excite. Regardless of a reader’s sex or sexuality, Fire and Ice should be received as an outstanding story, well told, and unarguably erotic. It will warm and cool in equal measures."

Thank you!

...but who writes like Wilde in a more calm, contemplative state?

Congratulations, you inimitable creature!

I hope that Wilde did, or how did he get any work done?

I think getting compared to Wilde (as a writer, at least) is like winning around 2.64 internets. Approximately.

Well done!

All Hail The Inimitable Erastes!

I bet Wilde had problems writing with an erection... I'm sure a pen would have been easier.

They had me too. Very flattering, and not at all true.

Now that's what I call a review!
I know, you say it isn't accurate. Piffle, I say. It's wonderful!

Wilde with a boner, lol. What a compliment! ;)

I think it generally takes a few weeks. Would have been easier for me to post you one!

How lovely! Oscar Wilde! With or without an erection, that's pretty darn good.

Wow.

I think "writes erotica like Oscar Wilde with an erection" needs to become an icon--or a t-shirt.

It's better than "her writing is laughably poor" which someone said about me a while back.
