I write historical and fantasy fiction, usually featuring gay protagonists, sometimes with a strong romance theme, sometimes not. Most of my historical fiction is set in the ancient Greco-Roman period, which I studied for many years and which remains a passion with me (reading Suetonius can have a terribly corrupting effect on a young mind...). I aim to offer an alternative, more internalised window on Greco-Roman society, the emotional and cultural lives of courtesans and poets rather than the deeds of gladiators and victorious generals. An elegiac rather than epic perspective. My fantasy fiction so far includes both urban vampire fiction set in contemporary London and high fantasy, set in the decaying ancient civilisation of Laurentium.
