The wandering star of Aphrodite must be in the third house, I am here to say that I wrote another book.
It's a historical political mystery set in Classical Greece with gods and monsters, and features a m/m romance. The main character Aeschylus is a former naval captain in the fleet of the city state of the island of Aegina, which was a major naval and trading power in the 8th-6th centuries B.C.E.
Also, a major rival of that other little city-state you may have heard about, Athens. Which is why five years before the story is set, Aeschylus returned home to find that Aegina and Athens were engaged in escalating rounds of municipal kidnappings. This became his problem when he was appointed Captain of the City Guard. Which amounts to him, a junior guard, and five enslaved rod-bearers. Alas, though, Aeschylus stopped the kidnappings (he's not responsible for negotiating the return of the municipal hostages, mind you), he's not able to hire a decent guardsman. So after the latest failure turns out to be a drunk as well as a failure, he does what any desperate man would do. He climbs up to the local Acropolis and prays to Ares to send him an old soldier, tired of wars.
Who Ares sends him is Thêritas of Thrace, a young hottie with new-made weapons and secrets that Aeschylus barely has no time to explore. What with all the mysterious events and outright miracles that start happening. It's up to Aeschylus and his new and attractive recruit to figure out what's going on.
That's it. That's the book. There is also an audio version of the book, which I'd say took longer than writing the book, but these items are as intertwined vines in a Dionysian pavilion.
