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.

This is in the very last stages of being drafted and should be out later in the year.

My other project is a vastly expanded version of The Assassin of Laurentium, a story written for the M/M Group's Loves Landscape Event. This is still in the planning stage so updates will follow in the not to distant future...(less)

Arundhati Roy
“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living
