M.V. Gaius Soon I hope. It is my next project I have planned after I finish the book I am currently working on. I look forward to getting back to Demetrius and his adventures, but I am throughly enjoying my current project "The Unrequited".

I hope to have "The Unrequited" finished in the next month and then will resume Aphrodite's Curse.

Thanks for asking. It always makes me glad to know people enjoy my books.

M.V. Gaius Absolutely!!! In fact, they are ONLY available in e-book form and all are available on Amazon.com.

This particular genre lends itself well to ebook form for JUST the reason you indicate. Kind of hard to be subtle reading "Bend Over Boyfriend" at the beach. ;)

I hope you check out my blog where I have links to all my ebooks, as well as updates on free book promotions.
M.V. Gaius I haven't gotten that formal yet, but would LOVE to have Beta readers. In general I have several erotica themed forums I regularly post to, and I like to upload chapters or short stories I am working on to get feedback.

My book Aphrodite's Curse for example was well received in the forums and inspired me to go ahead and make an ebook out of it.
M.V. Gaius I have always been a HUGE Mythology and History fan (as well as being a pervy dirty book writer) and Aphrodite's Curse was the best way to combine my two interests. If you read actual Greek Mythology, it is actually fairly erotic and is a huge well to draw from for characters.
M.V. Gaius This might seem odd, but it is being able to write the book YOU want to read. For me, especially when writing a long work, you get emotionally attached to some of the characters you create, and it is great to be able to create the world they live in and see their character operate within that world.
M.V. Gaius Two pieces of advice actually. One, write the story YOU want to read as read it like an audience and not an author.

And the other advice is write, write often and as much as you can. The best way to improve your writing is practice, and as you write more and more, your style definitely improves with time.
M.V. Gaius Since I primarily write erotica, mostly my initial audience is MYSELF. I write the stories I would want to read, and hope that others like it. I have been fortunate that obviously my own tastes are shared by others. Sometimes I will have a general idea that once I start writing just takes off. Aphrodite's Curse was like that, and once I had my characters developed the story kind of wrote itself.
M.V. Gaius Currently I am going back an re-writing and re-formatting all of my older works into eBooks. Frankly, I look forward to finally uploading all of them and returning to writing. My current long term project is continuing on with the series Aphrodite's Curse. That has been the MOST fun I have had writing anything, and I look forward to working on Book 3.
