Cecilia Tan is the publisher/impresario of Circlet Press, the most successful fantasy-sci-fi outlier press of the last forty years, starting with her underground hit, Telepaths Don't Need Safe Words.
Tan has survived and flourished while every other competitor cried "Uncle!"— and it's all due to her indomitable spirit and creativity. Audible’s got two of her erotica series up for sale now.
The Prince’s Boy, Volumes 1 & 2
Tan makes the unfathomable seem totally reasonable— The Prince’s Boy takes place in a world where male/male lust feeds magical powers. Wizards are very busy in the bedroom.
"Prince Kenet" seeks pleasure with his whipping boy, Jorin, while a war that threatens the kingdom swirls around them. "Seroi," the dark magician, tries to bespell the Prince and enslave him as his submissive lover, as well as take over the kingdom.
The Prince and his “boy” struggle to stay together—can love overcome magical chains?
Three Musketeers meets The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty.
Daron’s Guitar Chronicles Volumes 1, 2, & 3
Daron's Guitar Chronicle is like Almost Famous, except in this story the boy isn’t so innocent.
Oh, and he’s gay, and it’s the 80s.
Daron Marks is a young guitar player with a dream, to make it big like the guys he grew up idolizing in New Jersey—or at least escape his dysfunctional family. He makes it as far as music school in Rhode Island, and the rock clubs of Boston beckon him.
But it's hard to succeed from the closet.
This is a sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll coming-of-age— A Young Adult tale for adults. Follow Daron as his band becomes famous, he goes on tour, and falls in love with the band's lead singer, Ziggy...
I love gay YA!
