This blog is only suitable for adults. This blog contains homoerotica.

Erastes is the penname of a female writer who lives by the Norfolk Broads in England and freely admits she spends too much time on his PC. When she can be ~~dragged, kicking and screaming~~ persuaded away from it she likes classical music, walks by the Broads and cheese. She likes cats too, but cheese is better on toast. She likes her erotica to be like her men, full of life, a little edgy and as literary as possible without being too wordy. She believes in the GDM, and tries to base her dubious morality on Heinlein's "Notebooks of Lazarus Long"

She's had seven novels and over 20 short stories published.

Her first novel is STANDISH a gay regency

Her second: TRANSGRESSIONS is set around the English civil war.

Her third is MERE MORTALS and is a gothic romance, set in the Norfolk Broads in 1847. Published by Lethe Press and with a gorgeous cover by Ben Baldwin.

She also has published novellas, details of which can be found on her website.

Orphaned Crispin Thorne has been taken as ward by Philip Smallwood, a man he's never met, and is transplanted from his private school to Smallwood's house on an island on the beautiful but coldly remote, Horsey Mere in Norfolk. Upon his arrival, he finds that he's not the only young man given a fresh start. Myles Graham, and Jude Middleton are there before him, and as their benefactor is away, they soon form alliances and friendships, as they speculate on why they ve been given this new life. Who is Philip Smallwood? Why has he given them such a fabulous new life? What secrets does the house hold and what is it that the Doctor seems to know?
