Weekly Announcements - 2 May 08

Erastes has received a passel of good reviews, this first about Standish:
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 incredibly written characters. This is a story to be read and embraced. ~ Literary Nymphs Reviews
This one is about the anthology Night Moves:
The authors of NIGHT MOVES have brought us four fantastic stories about vampires. While each story presents characters with an allure that keeps readers begging for more; the similarities will end there. ...There is no weak link in this anthology. ~ Literary Nymphs Reviews
And finally, a review for her short story in the anthology J is for Jealousy:
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. ~ Ashley Lister of Erotica Readers
