Erastes (author)

Erastes is the pen name of a female author from the United Kingdom, known for writing gay-themed historical and romantic fiction.

Erastes initially began writing gay fiction after initially having started writing slash fiction set in the Harry Potter universe. She was also a director of the Erotic Authors Association (EAA), and the association flourished until 2010, when she handed the EAA over to new management. In 2010, Rolling Stone named Erastes one of the "premier authors" of male/male historical romances alongside Alex Beecroft, Laura Baumbach and Donald Hardy.

Her best-known works include Frost Fair, a bestselling novella published by Cheyenne Publishing in 2009, and Transgressions, a novel that was released in 2009 by Running Press in their M/M Historical Romance line and was a shortlisted nominee for a 2010 Lambda Literary Award in the gay romance category.
