Vashtan
Vashtan is not-for profit pseudonym of author Aleksandr Voinov. A graduate of history, Vashtan favours historical plots and motifs, and a special interest is in military history and the history of warfare, because, as his history professor said: "War is too important to leave it to military scholars." Vashtan considers himself a pacifist and finds knowing the enemy (as it were) helps understanding what was/is going on in current news and especially how it affects civilians.
The author lives near London, UK, and used to work in marketing research, before he became a financial journalist. Main interests include all things history, art, literature, fantasy, science fiction, religion, and any combination thereof.
Vashtan uses this pseudonym for explicitly erotic stories, one of them being Special Forces, the epic story of two enemy soldiers who meet in 1980 in the line of duty during the early days of the Soviet Union's last war in Afghanistan. The story is harsh and violent, but life is cruel and those two Special Forces soldiers do what they need to survive.
