Best Erotic Fantasy & Science Fiction by Cecilia Tan

So now all the books are finally available in beautiful editions! The series is kind of an erotic take on Harry Potter (it’s about the secret magical departments at Harvard, including sex magic, of course…) and back in 2010 it was supposed to be published in paperback by Red Wheel Weiser, but after the first two books appeared, they folded their fiction imprint. While folks are waiting for that one, though, I’m so happy my Magic University books are finally all in matching paperbacks. I have a rock star hero who has very kinky tastes and I have a Hollywood heiress who catches his eye. In it I get to combine two of my favorite things: BDSM and rock stars! I’ve wanted to write a “bad boy” romance for a while now and with this one I finally get my chance. TAKING THE LEAD is coming out officially in January so you should see it hitting stores soon.

The fun of living in a post-50-Shades world is now I can incorporate more BDSM into my romances. How would you describe what you write? What can readers expect from your latest publications? I started writing when I was a child, but when I got out of college in 1989, the first story I wrote that felt fully formed was an erotic science fiction story called “Telepaths Don’t Need Safewords.” That put me right at the intersection of romance, BDSM, erotica, and sf/fantasy and that’s pretty much where I still am today, twenty years and over a dozen novels, 100+ short stories, and a pile of awards nominations later. For those who missed the talk or are less familiar with your work, can you please tell us briefly a little about yourself and your writing? Thank you, again, for visiting our store and your talk, Cecilia, as well as letting us interview you. We’re happy to now shine our Author Spotlight on her with this great interview! She’s been actively publishing erotic stories for over 20 years and is the owner of science fiction erotica publishing house, Circlet Press.

Award-winning author Cecilia Tan visited ABSW back in December and gave a wonderful talk about the state of the publishing industry for erotica and erotic romance.
