Praise for Deadly Circus of Desire: Boys of Imperial Rome #1 “It is a joy to read a novel so steeped in history that does not shy away from offering a genuine and unapologetically gay love story. The prose provides an exquisite expertise that informs of daily Roman life--the details of street food vendors, the layouts of and conduct within whorehouses, the interaction of slaves and freemen and the aristocracy, the minutiae that precedes the chariot races, all add scholarly authenticity to the lives of fictional character who interact with historical figures. While all this detail validates the environment, it never once detracts from the story of a budding romance between Rufio and Quintus. This is the pair of young men whose likenesses grace the book’s illustrations. Zack never fails to delight with image after image offering a visual glimpse into the lives of the heroes and the seemingly endless shenanigans they get into, and clothing they get out of.” -- Rick Russell (Goodreads). Praise for The Satyr of Capri: Boys of Imperial Rome #2 “An epic adventure full of historical detail ... and sex. If you love Ancient Rome and, well, Ancient Roman men, this book’s for you!” -- Scavola G/G Group moderator, Goodreads “There is rarely a page that doesn’t include at least innuendoes of erotica if not downright steamy passion. And in addition to this erotica the novel has a fine story based on concepts to which we all can relate to in Roman mythology.” -- Grady Harp, Amazon “There is a mystery that is so compelling it should be in some dark, hard-boiled crime thriller. There is romance and political intrigue and glimpses of daily life in imperial Rome. Just when you think you've got this genre-defying narrative figured out some new element gets added to mix, just to keep your interest peaked. This is non-stop action and adventure as only Zack can deliver and he does so once again.” -- Rick Russell, Amazon
