| 2009.06.15 10:55:26 | |
 I'm pleased to say my paranormal erotic romance, MIND GAMES, has garnered another rave review. FIVE STARS! From Manic Readers Review, a romance review site.Excerpts: "Ms. Tan is going to blow readers away with Mind Games! Superb from beginning to end, I discovered new faith in the paranormal erotica genre." "Fans of Ms. Tan’s erotica will rejoice at her venture into the paranormal world. This was such a treat for me... I certainly hope this won’t be Ms. Tan’s only foray into the paranormal world because Mind Games is definitely an all out hit!" Here's a link to the whole thing: http://manicreaders.com/index.cfm?disp=reviews&bookid=4131 Tags: mind games | reviews | rave reviews | Cecilia Tan

I've been really really busy lately with both guest blogging and reviews coming in! And today I recorded a podcast with Cat of All Romance eBooks! Not sure when it will air, but I'll post when it goes live.
Meanwhile, here's some of what I've been up to:
"Keeping Sex Scenes Fresh" at Night Owl Romance just went up yesterday! http://nightowlromanceblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/keeping-sex-scenes-fresh.html
Some really lovely reviews have come in for both THE HOT STREAK and MIND GAMES, too! You Gotta Read Reviews, Coffee Time Romance, and Patricia's Vampire Notes have al weighed in so far: http://www.coffeetimeromance.com/BookReviews/thehotstreak.html
I have some more guest blogs scheduled, too. I'll link to them when they go up. Tags: Cecilia Tan | Coffee Time Romance | reviews | guest blogs | The Hot Streak | mind games Hits: 685 | Read more... |

Okay, I just screamed with joy when I read this. It's not my first book, but MIND GAMES is my first romance novel, and it's the first review of it!! So I just jumped up and down and made everyone in my office stare at me when the following rave review came from YOU GOTTA READ:From YOU GOTTA READ Reviews http://yougottareadreviews.blogspot.com/2009/05/review-mind-games-by-cecilia-tan.html Rating: You Need To Read Reviewed by: Laura "Prepare yourself to be blown away. Reading this book will draw you into a world of telepathy and mental control that will change any prior beliefs you had in such abilities. Wren and Derek are a couple that are aligned in ways that are unheard of. To say they clicked is an understatement. The plot is suspenseful and gripping. The reader is taken along a path with twists and turns and unexpected events that lead to a stunning conclusion. Ms. Tan weaves a wonderful story of love, risk and leaps of faith that are unparalleled in the world of romantic suspense." This is a nice boost for me today when I just hit the halfway point in writing my next romance novel and could use a little energy to carry me down the hill of the second half!

Is this thing on? *blows on microphone*
Looks like it is! Hi again everyone. I have news and such! MIND GAMES will soon be available as a printed book as well as in ebook format. I'm very excited about this, even though I'm getting more and more into ebooks myself.
I read Cory Doctorow's DOWN AND OUT IN THE MAGIC KINGDOM while I was on vacation in Disneyworld last month. It was really cool. I have an iPhone, so while I was standing in line waiting for a ride, I hopped on the manybooks.net site, and downloaded the book while I was standing there! And then I was able to read it while waiting in line, and also in the airport, on the plane, etc... all in my handheld which I was carrying anyway. No worrying about the book getting wet on the Kali River Rapids Ride (I ended up skipping that one, actually, anyway... only one pair of shoes...), not fitting in my pocket, leaving it somewhere by accident, plus saving trees!
So I'm a convert to ebooks. I'm so busy writing normally that the time I get to read is when I'm on vacation or in transit from place to place and the iPhone is so much handier than an actual book when it comes down to that.
I was worried that my eyes would get tired, but given that I spend all day every day in front of a computer already, it doesn't seem to have affected me negatively at all. I read for 2 straight hours on the iPhone during a layover at Dulles airport -- while sitting in the bright sun in a window, I might add -- and didn't have any problems.
Other news: my next novel for Ravenous will be out in about a month? It's called THE STREAK and has a baseball theme. Actually, they say we might change the title because they don't think The Streak is sexy enough... I'll have to see what the PtB say on that. Meanwhile, we've agreed on a new four-book erotic fantasy series... but I'll say more about that in a future post! Tags: mind games | erotica | ebooks
