Erastes is a penname of a female author who lives in Norfolk, UK. "He" started to write homoerotic historical fiction because he couldn't find any other than the very few that were on the market, such as Gaywyck by Vincent Virga and the novels of Mary Renault. Erastes' goal is to drag gay romance into the mainstream.
