“The blood of the sphinx runs through my veins,” Sasha said as he inspected the warrior standing at attention before him. “It’s what makes my family line so potent—what gives us the power to make or break a man.”
Son of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar, Sasha is the king of kings. He’s the pharaoh, and he’s supposed to be the most powerful man in Egypt, but he’s convinced there’s something wrong with him. Maybe he’s in heat or maybe he’s just cursed, but no pharaoh should have such an insatiable need to be mated by another man. Even worse, the man he desires has never shown an inkling of interest in him.
When the young pharaoh finds himself the sole ruler of Egypt and under siege by the Romans, he has to find a way to deal with the desires consuming him or all will be lost.
A historically inspired dark fantasy. This work is m/m dark erotica and contains graphic violence and non-con.

Interview by Hans M. Hirschi
Today I answered some pretty difficult questions about dark erotica. My sincere thanks to Hans M. Hirschi for the interview.
Jenna Johanis answers tough questions about violence and rape in this very honest interview
... Jenna writes dark erotic fiction, and while it is a genre that I don’t enjoy reading myself, I understand that it has a huge following. As you’ll see, I’ve asked her some pretty tough questions, to get a better sense of how some of the “tropes” in erotica are used and – more importantly – justified. I hope you’ll enjoy this as much as I have. This is a LONG post, take your time, it’s worth it.

Today I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Meredith King on Diverse Reader. I enjoyed this interview immensely and sincerely appreciate Meredith for hosting me.

If you have not read her yet and want to scratch that itch, J. Johanis is the perfect place to start. If you've been lucky enough to read her work than you are well aware of her gifted writing.

Question from a reader about the Temple of Power
Today's book tour stop was a fun one for me; all about the setting of Claimed by the Order. Here's something I'd also like to share on Goodreads.
Question from a reader about the Temple of Power:
Why are the gods without their divine powers while at the temple of power?
Answer: I like to think of a god’s divine powers in terms of being armed. Some places such as universities don’t allow weapons on campus. Since the gods have the use of their powers repressed while on temple grounds, I imagine it is akin to the gods giving up their firearms at the gate. Once inside the temple, every deity is on equal footing since they are forced to rely on diplomacy, social skills, and their physical strengths alone. Being disarmed of their divine powers also brings them down from the clouds, and makes them just as vulnerable as us mortals.
