Published: 27 A.D. in Lust in Time

Just realised that this anthology, Lust in Time, containing my first ever m/m story is out now. Meep! It's a collection of historical short stories, spanning 1000 BC to 1979 AD, edited by Rob Rosen and published by MLR Press. 

My story is set in a fictional pre-invasion of Britain by a small Roman force with a commander somewhat disgruntled by the empire. When Lucius finds himself on his knees in the mud with the enemy leader's sword at his throat, death is the only honourable option. But he is fascinated by the wild, blue-painted barbarian. And the rough treatment he endures as he stumbles back to their camp roped to his enemy's horse only inflames his lust. Kinky hotness ensues and the pair come to a deal in which Lucius will teach the Britons all about the Romans' battle techniques and tactics, while barbarian lord Finian will see that the Roman's taste for humiliation and submission is sated. 

The first review of the whole anthology at Amazon has this to say: 'This has to be the most creative and original collection of M/M erotic romance I've read in quite some time. The stories go in chronological order from 1000 B.C. to 1969 A.D., and each of the story titles is the year the story takes place in. The romance is always steamy and frequently touching. Most of the stories are super erotic, a couple of them funny, a few heart-racing and highly charged. All of them, however, are highly literary and exceedingly well-written, which is what really blew me away.'

And here's the blurb for the anthology:

Love and lust through the annals of time, from ancient Israel and Greece and Rome, to the Vikings, the Wild West, Woodstock, and all points in between.

History and fiction meet at the crossroads in these erotic tales of love and lust. Witness the steamy encounters, lurid battles, raucous clashes, and tender moments of couples who span the centuries. Get swept up in the lives of the biblical David, Emperor Hadrian, barbarians from Britannia, a 19th century physician, Jewish immigrants, cowboys and Indians, Billy the Kid, Civil War and World War I soldiers, hippies, and so many more, all in search of adventure, passion, and, yes, even fame.


Lust in Time is available at MLR Press and, in the UK, at Amazon.
