As an adoptive child of the diaspora, Mei was raised in America with no knowledge of Chinese folklore or fairy tales, but when an antiques dealer friend needs help retrieving a mythic artifact-a jade carving of a peach that represented same-sex love in ancient China-she's game to give it a try. Her quest sends Mei not only into the past, but on a journey of self-discovery.

Dark magic threatens the BDSM community in New York. Good thing Mira’s got her boots on and a whip in her bag. ~ * ~ Mira is a massage therapist in New York City. Still stinging over the betrayal of her ex, she puts on her corset to attend a kinky club night and gets far more than she bargained for. She meets a new playmate who seems to satisfy her every whim, igniting desires she had thought were dead. Clive is a thrillseeker whose favorite place to get an adrenaline rush is on the receiving end of a whip, or while kneeling at someone’s feet. Mira seems like Clive’s sweetest dreams come true. But Clive harbors secrets. An underground society of ritual sex magic practitioners is recruiting him, and neither Clive nor Mira are prepared for what happens when Clive’s dark powers are unleashed. Caught up in a battle between good and evil, Mira and Clive grow ever closer, but can Mira solve the mystery of Clive’s darkest memory in time to save him... and maybe the world? Bound by the Blood combines paranormal romance with dark contemporary romantasy into a spicy thrillride. “Cecilia Tan has always been ahead of her time. She was bringing us sophisticated stories about BDSM and the BDSM community before it became popular. With the Vanished Chronicles she may well have invented an exciting new genre. This book blends urban fantasy with erotic romance, using soulful intelligence and elegant prose as glue. The relationships are compelling and rich, but they’re accompanied by a supernatural world that offers a fascinating and unforgettable take on the cosmic and spiritual significance of eroticism.” —CHRISTOPHER RICE, New York Times bestselling author and producer of Interview with the Vampire Cecilia Tan is an award-winning author of passionate fiction. RT Book Reviews awarded her Career Achievement in Erotic Romance in 2015 and her novel Slow Surrender (Hachette/Forever, 2013) won the RT Reviewers Choice Award and the Maggie Award for Excellence from GRW. Spanning the gamut of genre and gender, she is also the author of Daron's Guitar Chronicles, The Prince's Boy, and Watch Point. Her Magic University series has been lauded by Autostraddle for being "trans-inclusive fantasy for Harry Potter fans."

Vampires have always been creatures of the margins between life and death, terror and desire, the forbidden and the irresistible. In Blood Kiss, seven masterful storytellers plunge deep into the erotic heart of the vampire mythos, embracing its sensuality with fearless delight. For centuries, the vampire has been cast as the ultimate seducer: a being for whom hunger is intimate, the chase a dance of flesh and instinct. Once condemned as sinful, the vampire''s sensual nature now reveals itself as a celebration of the body-its power, its surrender, its exquisite vulnerability. These stories revel in that primal allure, exploring the magic that flickers where blood meets desire. Unbound by mortal rules or narrow proprieties, the vampires in these pages cross boundaries of gender, orientation, and appetite. They seduce men and women alike; they are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, kinky, and gloriously transgressive. Their desires run as deep as their thirst. Here, fear and lust intertwine-just as they always have. The "little death" of orgasm, the immortal spark of erotic power, the dangerous ecstasy of the bite: a vampire''s embrace may mean death, eternal life, or both in a single, shuddering moment. These tales delve beyond gore and fear to illuminate the lush, seductive undercurrent that has always pulsed beneath the vampire legend. In Blood Kiss, fear becomes excitement. Predation becomes seduction. Death becomes eros. Step into the night. Let yourself be bitten.

Based on the popular online serial! A slow burn gay romance among rock stars in the 1980s. The year is 1989, and Daron’s band Moondog Three is really starting to take off, but life is complicated. On the one hand, Daron has finally told his closest friends and bandmates that he’s gay, while on the other he has sworn off sex. But just because they’re not sleeping together doesn’t mean a guitarist and a lead singer don’t have a relationship. And now they’re preparing for a major cross-country tour. The itinerary will take them from California eastward, with Daron, Ziggy, the other band members, tech crew, and management all sharing the same tour bus. That won’t be awkward or stress-inducing at all, will it? Readers speak! “I guess I’m a Moondog 3 Groupie... but I love this series! Cecilia Tan writes knowledgeably about the music scene and the 80’s Rock/Pop culture. Each chapter is titled after a song, creating an amazing playlist to accompany the book. The characters feel very real and their struggles, both personally and professionally, are told through Daron’s narration. ” “After all Daron and the gang have been through, I see the strength they have. I have even had things within myself come to light while reading the story. I don’t know if I could have handled all that Daron has gone through, but I am finding strength within my self to deal with my own stresses head om because of what I have read.”

The heart-filling conclusion to the entire Daron's Guitar Chronicles series! The incredible finale to the thirteen-book slow burn gay romance.

"Tan''s collection of stories is a symphony of lust: queer desire, heartbreak, power, surrender, and a dulcet submersion into the inner ache of wanting." --Sinclair Sexsmith, author of the Sugarbutch Chronicles From the award-winning writer and erotica pioneer, Cecilia Tan, comes a collection of her queerest and most personal erotic stories, Bent for Leather. Published to coincide with her keynote speech at International Ms. Leather and Bootblack in 2023, an event that was postponed three years because of the pandemic, Bent for Leather collects stories that span nearly 30 years, many of which originally appeared in publications such as the groundbreaking lesbian erotica magazine, On Our Backs, or the recent Best Lesbian Erotica of the Year (Vol 7) anthology. Coming from the pen of a kinky bisexual writer, these stories feature many characters who are butches, androgynes, or bois, and whose labels--or their lovers--may be nonbinary, or transmasculine, or bigender. All are sizzlingly erotic, exploring the deepest desires of the characters, what it takes to satisfy them, and just what makes them Bent for Leather. "I jumped into the world of BDSM role play in my twenties, and I quickly found that I could be a girl, boy, maid, slave, or puppy and that none of these roles actually depended on my gender or physical body. All they depended on was the story that my play partners and I were creating together. So I guess it''s no surprise that these reflections of my inner self have come out in my erotic stories. My brain has always been my biggest sex organ, and storytelling and fantasy have always been my biggest kinks." --From the Introduction by Cecilia Tan

A fun, fan-centric guide to re-living the magic of all eight original HP movies, whether you binge watch or just read the book! It's hard to believe, but 20 years have passed since a baby-faced Daniel Radcliffe took the screen test that would lead to him becoming Harry Potter for an entire generation of movie-goers. And now it's time to introduce a new generation to the magic that is the Harry Potter films.

Tan will guide you through loving, fun--yet occasionally snarky--recaps of each film, as well slather on many behind-the-scenes facts and stories about how the films were made. Casting decisions, near misses, movie artistry: she’ll cover it all, and more, as well as critical analysis of the films' significance in pop culture, filmmaking, and history. Not only that, since this is a Binge Watcher's Guide, Tan shares actual tips for binge watching, including recipes and suggestions for hosting your own Harry Potter themed binge-watching party.

Jiro's lineage once proudly served the nobility as samurai: protectors of royalty with a legacy of sword and rope. But though rich in tradition, in the modern age the family is penniless. And after cataclysmic events, Jiro has lost everything, including everyone he ever cared about and maybe even his mind. He is kept in a hospital amnesia ward, catatonic and unspeaking until a charity visit from the Crown Princess rouses him miraculously.

Ami is the sole heir of the Emperor, fresh out of Harvard and looking to both sow her wild oats and create real change for women in her role as a public figure. But her father and his head of security want her kept safe and sound: caged like a bird for her protection.

Ami will do anything to get out from under their control. Little does she know there are true dangers waiting for their chance to strike, a chance that comes when the princess slips away from her bodyguards and disappears in disguise into the underground world of sex clubs and rope bondage performers. Will the disguise be enough to keep her safe from the assassins on her trail? And what about this mysterious stranger, this Jiro, who seems fated to meet her again? What will she receive when she surrenders herself, bound and helpless, to his rope bondage: unbearable pleasure or ultimate pain?

After the disastrous end to Moondog Three''s summer tour, Daron Marks finds himself on the West Coast as his life and career take a left turn. Ziggy''s in rehab and Daron''s lost. His explorations of his music and his heart take him across uncharted territory: a new relationship, a tour of Asia and Australia, and even an unplanned sojourn to Spain.

To the point of where you wonder, sometimes several times a day, what this person would think about something you’re experiencing. [Daron] feels so true to life." —Love Bytes Reviews "As addictive as any books I’ve ever read, as heart-rending as any series I’ve ever loved, Daron’s Guitar Chronicles is... a brilliant feat in fiction.” —The Novel Approach "For me, Daron is one of those rare fictional characters that I have a hard time believing does not actually exist on the physical plane. He is just too real. [And] the writing just gets better and better." —Gay Book Reviews

A slow burn gay rock star romance. After the tumultuous events at the end of the tour in 1989 leave Daron and the band reeling, it’s time to get off the road for a while. When an opportunity to stay in Los Angeles comes up, Daron takes it. There’s session work and music industry schmoozing galore to be done in LA, but Daron’s true reason for wanting to be on the West Coast temporarily is simple: Ziggy is in isolation drug rehab in California. Daron wants to be nearby, even if Ziggy isn’t allowed to communicate with the outside world. Is Daron prepared to deal with Digger, record company politics, and creative challenges, all while feeling the pain of being apart? Includes the bonus features: • Ziggy’s Diary • Jonathan’s Story Readers speak! “This is not your run-of-the-mill ‘Rock And Roll’ gay romance. It’s about the times, the world we live in, and the creative people who drive the culture. Warning: Daron’s Guitar Chronicles is addictive. Once you start, you’ll find it near impossible to walk away from Daron’s world, aching to know what’s coming next” “The first person narrative has rarely been used to greater effect than in Cecilia Tan’s online serial Daron’s Guitar Chronicles. The relationship between Daron and the reader is something I’ve never experienced before, and I don’t believe could have been achieved in the third person, limited or omniscient, as brilliantly as it’s been done here. Daron’s narrative is intimate, personal, and it’s, of all the oddest things, interactive. Or maybe it’s reactive. Whatever one wishes to call it, there are times during the reading of this, and the previous books, that I wanted to hug him, shake him by the shoulders, give him an earful, and then go right back to hugging him through his pain and torment.” “Sometimes it’s hard to remember Daron’s a fictional character.”

James has finally pushed Karina beyond her limit--not her limit for kinky sex play, but for his extreme secrecy. She has had enough and breaks things off. But James won''t give up on Karina and will do whatever it takes to get her back. He''s ready to share his deepest, darkest secrets, but is Karina ready to hear them? James offers Karina not only the truth but a place at his side... onstage. He wants Karina to star in his final musical production and enter his life and his world fully and completely. As the two work together, they rekindle the trust and love they''d lost. But James''s world is full of deceit. When he is blackmailed by an unscrupulous music industry executive, James must give in to unreasonable demands or risk exposure of his and Karina''s secret sex life. Will Karina and James''s love be strong enough to withstand the many obstacles being thrown their way? "Seductive fun not to be missed! Cecilia Tan will make all your sexy wishes come true!" -- Lisa Renee Jones "4 1/2 stars! This is the BDSM novel all the other millionaire Dom heroes want to star in." -- RT Book Reviews

Unforgettable passion . . . Two months have passed since Karina''s painful departure from James, the mysterious lover who awakened her darkest desires, and she''ll do anything-anything-to locate him and win him back. Her search takes her to London, where she finds herself immersed in the world of fine art and forbidden pleasures. And soon, Karina meets another enigmatic man who promises to help her find James . . . for a price. Unexpected pleasure . . . Damon George is rich, gorgeous, and a member of a secret society that caters to the sensual thrills of the wealthy and powerful. Though Karina insists her heart will always belong to James, Damon is determined to have her, body and soul. By the time she finds James, Karina has been "trained" to please another. Will James reject her again . . . or find her more irresistible than ever? Word count: Approx. 70,000.

Winner of the Rose & Bay Award A slow burn gay romance set in the 1980s. Book five of Daron’s Guitar Chronicles finds the band still on the road for their coast-to-coast tour. The pressure cooker that is the tour bus has been affecting everyone, but will it ultimately fuse the band together or crack them apart? The final leg of the Moondog Three “1989” album tour approaches, with Toronto, the midwest, and New York City still to come. Daron and Ziggy have learned a lot about each other, and about what it takes to stay sane on the road... but have the lessons come too late? Daron thinks maybe he finally knows what love is. At least, some feeling is making his heart sing. But is Ziggy too far gone to hear it? Readers speak! “This volume is beautiful and sweet and touching and so, so heartbreaking.” “This series is an emotional roller coaster ride, as told in the first person by Daron, a guitar prodigy and founder of the fictional band Moondog 3. (Don’t tell Daron it’s fictional!) This series set in the mid-80’s and continuing through the early 90’s (and still going) is a peek into the music scene as Hair Bands transitioned into Grunge. Rock n Roll was almost as confused as Daron is about his feeling for his lead singer, Ziggy. I loved every page of it!” “Having read and enjoyed the first four volumes, I was more than ready to be a fly on the wall for the next part of Daron, Ziggy, Jonathan, Carynne, et al’s, road trip. There is something very compelling about the way these books are written. Perhaps because they were written during the time period that they represent rather than as a retro attempt at capturing their era. The author has a way of making you feel that you are in the room, or perhaps, playing the guitar on stage yourself, that I have not experienced reading any other similar book. I can feel Ziggy applying my eyeliner as I experience Daron’s prepping for a concert.”
