 At 34 years of age, Voinov has written about 13 novels and commercially published five with German publishers. After many years dabbling around in horror, science fiction, cyberpunk and fantasy, and making a (different) name for himself in those markets, Voinov has set his sights now on contemporary and historical erotic novels.

 Voinov's first major English language work is [http://www.aleksandrvoinov.com/special-forces.html ''Special Forces''], co-written between 2006 and 2008 and published online. The epic three-part novel comprises around one million words. Its 'hero', Vadim Petrovich Krasnorada, stretches the very concept of 'heroic' - Vadim is a Soviet special forces soldier in Afghanistan, where he meets, seemingly, his nemesis and the great love of his life. A love that develops despite war, atrocities, torture and anguish. The second part explores the lovers' time as mercenaries/private military contractors, and, finally, in part three, as military advisers and civilians.

 ==Commercial work==
 In 2008, Aleksandr Voinov sold his first explicit gay short story to one of the major German gay publishers: ''Die Rasur'' ('The Shave') was published in the anthology ''Jungs auf Entdeckungsreise'' ('Boys on a Journey of Discovery') by Bruno Gmünder Verlag.
 In September 2009, Noble Romance Publishing published his short story ''Deliverance'' in the historical and historical-themed anthology ''Forbidden Love.'' The story deals with a Templar suddenly facing his ex-lover in the Holy Land in 1185, and forces issues of faith, guilt, and desire back to the surface.
 ''Test of Faith'', another historical m/m story he co-write with Raev Gray, was accepted by eXcessica and will be published in May 2010 (ebook) and print edition.
 ==Current work==
 Voinov recently finished a gay financial thriller called ''Return on Investment'', with two connected novels in the outlining/writing stages.
-Currently, Voinov is working on a German-language historical novel, which he promised his German agent two years ago and has vowed to deliver in the course of 2009. English projects include a gay vampire novel, a gay urban fantasy novel (both co-written with ''Raev Gray''), as well as a handful of projects in research and outlining stage.
