Book Description

Publication Date: April 23, 2009

Wren Delacourt is a woman with a gift, only she doesn’t know it. She has psychic abilities—the ability to see the future, to read minds, and to sense emotions. But ever since the death of her parents when she was a teenager, in an accident she foresaw, she has suppressed her abilities, often doubting her childhood memories and unsure if her powers even exist, or if she only imagined them. Unable to deal with other people’s emotions, she leads a quiet, somewhat lonely life working in a university library and socializing mostly with her downstairs neighbor, a gay man named Lawrence. Everything changes when her sister Abby goes missing, and Wren hires a private investigator to try to find her. Derek Chapman isn’t what Wren expected in a P.I.; he’s young, good—looking, and sensitive. Wren is attracted to him immediately, and the feeling seems mutual, but Wren is afraid that this will be just another failed relationship. She begins to have dreams about sex, about a dream lover who visits her at night. Is the man in her dreams just her subconscious trying to work out its conflicts between desire and fear? Or could someone really be stalking her in her dreams? And what does it mean when Derek’s search for Abby leads him to a private sex club? Fate seems to be

More About the Author

I write about my passions, which include baseball, erotica, gourmet food, martial arts, and travel. I write fantasy, science fiction, erotic fiction, paranormal romance, and anything else that stimulates my imagination.

In the erotica field, I've been published everywhere from Ms. magazine to Penthouse, and I'm in many, many anthologies and the Best American Erotica series. Susie Bright called me "simply one of the most important writers, editors, and innovators in contemporary American erotic literature." Erotic books I've authored include Black Feathers, White Flames, The Velderet, Mind Games, The Hot Streak, and The Siren and the Sword (Magic University, Book One). I've also edited many anthologies including Women of the Bite, Cowboy Lover, Sex In The System, Wicked Pleasures, SM Visions, for many different publishers, and many many books and ebooks for the independent publishing house I founded, Circlet Press. Those include Best Fantastic Erotica, Erotic Fantastic, Like an Animal, Like Crimson Droplets, and many others, both for Kindle and in paperback.

In science fiction/fantasy I have been published in Asimov's magazine, Strange Horizons, Absolute Magnitude, and many other places.

In baseball, I am the editor of the Maple Street Press YANKEES ANNUAL, author of The 50 Greatest Yankee Games, co-author of 50 Greatest Red Sox Games, the co-editor of THE FENWAY PROJECT, and co-editor of '75: The Red Sox Team That Saved Baseball. I write features for Yankees magazine and other publications. I have a web site of baseball essays, called Why I Like Baseball, at http://whyilikebaseball.com.

Cecelia Tan is one of my favorite authors, and I really enjoyed this one (I have the e-book version). It's got just the right balance of sex, romance, mystery, and kink.

This review is from: Mind Games (Paperback)

I just finished reading this paranormal, erotica themed novel last night. It was the first novel I've read by Cecilia Tan and I enjoyed the storyline. I agree with the other reviewer that this novel has a nice mixture of both storyline and erotica. I dislike novels without a good storyline or characters you could care less about. This one makes the mark.

This is somewhat edgy, has paranormal elements, but is very, very well written, well thought out and needs a sequel as soon as possible. I loved the characters, loved the plot, loved the way it twists and turns and comes out at the end. Everything I've read by Cecelia Tan is great, but I come back to this one over and over.
