Thank you for such lovely comments on my work - they are all very much appreciated.

I did receive a handful of e-mails/comments re: the accuracy of the historical elements in the first chapter. I can only say that although I have taken the basis of the Alexander stories from historians such as Plutarch and Arrian among others, the rest is entirely derived from my own, rather naughty, imagination. It is absolutely not my intention to write a work of historical accuracy with footnotes etc - that would defeat the object of erotic literature surely?! Instead, I am letting my imagination run wild and allow the incredible relationship between Alexander and Hephaestion to blossom in a way which has not come down to us through rather more academic tracts. (Let's face it, a fair amount of ancient 'history' is written with a fair amount of added spice which hasn't been derived from anything other than a hearty imagination)

I thank the anonymous comment on this blog - I hadn't come across Steve Berry's work, but I shall certainly look into it! I love a good mystery/thriller with a base in ancient history. Actually, if you like that sort of work, I can happily recommend Paul Sussman's books: The Lost Army of Cambyses and also The Last Secret of the Temple. They are not at all erotic, but very are both very good to read nonetheless :-)

I am just waiting for Chapter 3 to be posted. . . and when I receive a bit of feedback re: that, I will get started on the next chapter. I have a fair idea what will go on in Babylon the city reknowned for sin in all its luscious guises ;-)
