We’re getting close to the date of the Daron’s Guitar Chronicles fan meetup for 2018! I’m coming to the Bay Area for the World Science Fiction Convention, and I’m coming out a day or two early so we can have the meetup before the con gets going! Right now the plan is for the meetup…
Since the book that was originally slated to be released in May 2018 has been pushed back, I figured I would fill the gap by self-publishing a book I originally wrote ten years ago for now-defunct Ravenous Romance. MIND GAMES was the first real Romance Novel I wrote, and the reviews and immense positive reactions…
Oh, the ups and downs of publishing. I figured I better post about this since some of you are starting to wonder… hey, weren’t you supposed to have a book come out around now? If you’ve been following me any time since 2013, you might have heard me mention The Vanished Chronicles, my sex magic…
So I’m teaching a couple of writers workshops coming up, and I’ll be talking about the various kinds of feedback and critique writers can, should, and will receive throughout the writing and publishing process. I’ve gathered a lot of stories already, but I’d like to hear more from both authors and folks who give solicited…
If you haven’t seen it, Karley Sciortino, the writer of the Slutever blog and a regular for Vogue magazine, has a Vice TV video documentary series (also called Slutever). In December I went to NYC for an erotica reading they were filming that fit this week’s episode’s theme, Women Who Love Monsters. Check out this…
I’m live-blogging this from the writers panel on Power & Politics at ICFA 39 (International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts: Orlando, FL). When I do a live-blog typing like this I capture about 60% of what is said, so this is just a fraction of all the commentary and discussion. (And any bad…
I just got this press release from NLA: International with the finalists in the NLA Writing Awards and thought I’d post it to share with all. This year I wasn’t involved in the judging so this is my first time getting to see the finalists! Looks like a great crop of books and stories! (Columbus,…
I haven’t had a spare minute to do a full write-up of this year’s Thanksgiving extravaganza that corwin and I put on, as usual, until now, that is! This post incorporates all the Instagram photos and links to various recipes I referred to online. (corwin’s recipes were mostly in books, I think.) We always have…
It’s been a blast launching WATCH POINT, my gay Navy SEAL abduction romance, and I would like to thank all the blogs and sites that featured the book, reviewed it, hosted my essays, and participated in the giveaway! All told 154 comments were entered the drawing for a Cecilia Tan gay fiction prize pack, including…
There are only two main settings in WATCH POINT, my gay Navy SEAL romance. One is the mansion of the billionaire Aiden Milford where he lives with his son Chase. I wanted this to be in Massachusetts. I’ve lived in MA since 1990 but decided to do some research about where to put the Milford…
