Free Short Story! The Education of Gaius

I've uploaded The Education of Gaius by Clodia Metelli to Smashwords.
It's a free short story (around 14 000 words) set in the Late Roman Republic featuring Gaius from Gaius and Achilles by Clodia Metelli and can be read as a prequel to the novel.

In this story, Gaius, a gentle and civilised man in a violent age, comes to terms with the dark fantasies that have haunted him since childhood.

Vampire Romance Mortal Peril now out!

Mortal Peril by Clodia Metelli

Since the late 18th century, Martin has lived a secret life as a vampire in London, with his lover Roderick by his side. When, one evening Roderick disappears, Martin is thrown on his own resources for the first time in over two centuries. He is close to giving way to despair and lonliness and then he meets Anthony a flame haired student of medieval mysticism and rather cheerful goth. The only problem is that in the interests of preserving their secrecy, vampires are strictly forbidden to form relationships with mortals...

Mortal Peril is now as an ebook from Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P1OHMGK and Smashwords https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...
Priced $2.99/£1.82.

Coming this Halloween...

Mortal Peril - the story of Martin, a vampire living in London, whose lover Roderick disappears one night without explanation. How do you survive being single after being with the same vampire for over two hundred years?

The vampire community strictly forbids vampires to involve themselves in the world of mortals, lest they reveal themselves. Martin, however, is not ready to resign himself to a life of solitude, besides, up to now, Roderick has always got him out of any trouble...

Mortal Peril will be available from Amazon and Smashwords from October 31st.

Meeting Tiberius and Other Roman Tales

I've just published a collection of short stories from the world of Gaius and Achilles
and Dancing Phaedra

Meeting Tiberius and Other Roman Tales by Clodia Metelli is a collection of stories spanning the period of the earlier works, including stories drawn from the gaps in the narratives between them.

Like the earlier works, they blend an evocation of the artistic demi monde of the Roman Republic in the years leading up to the Civil War with depiction of the erotic and emotional lives of the protagonists in particular of how they find ways of giving expression to their desires and fantasies of giving and receiving erotic pain, playing with the tropes of dominance and submission while continuing gleefully to subvert the values of a society based on slavery, hierarchy ,and aggressive military expansion.
