Lots of my fiction is available to read free on the Internet here and there, and I post samples, chapters, and exclusive stories on my own site(s) from time to time. I’ve revamped this page for 2017 and beyond! Here are some to enjoy:
Online Serials
- The Prince’s Boy
Restored! This gay high fantasy BDSM serial originally ran 100 chapters on Circlet.com but was wiped out in a web server crash. The chapters are now being restored for free reading. Start from chapter one onCirclet’s site, on Wattpad, or at Juke Pop Serials. - Daron’s Guitar Chronicles
A serial begun in 2009 and still going strong 700+ chapters and 7+ years later, Daron’s Guitar Chronicles tells the story of a young guitar player struggling to make it in the mid-80s even as he struggles with being in the closet. Online at daron.ceciliatan.com or Wattpad (Gay.)

Prologue and Chapter One from the first book in the “magic university” series, an erotic, paranormal romance take on a Harry-Potter-esque college scenario.

(Het, genderqueer, gay, bi.) - An erotic scene for halloween —

Hi,
Remember Amelia and me? You stayed with us in Phila to watch a baseball game? We live in Tucson now.
When I tried to read ‘The Prince’s Boy’ the page said ‘not found’. Where may I look?
The Diamonds have gone to Pheonix, but if you are around Tucson or want to be, email us and we’ll send you phone number or call yours.
Bess
Hi Bess!! Yes I remember you: I stayed with you in Tucson after the Women’s Baseball Marathon for a night. As I recall, I slept nearly the entire time which isn’t surprising given that I had just played in a 24-hour long baseball game…
Unfortunately at the moment The Prince’s Boy is offline because circlet.com had a major crash and we’re having to rebuild the site from scratch. Ouch. I’ll be trying to get it back online in the next month or two!
Bess, good news. The Prince’s Boy is being restored at last! We’re rebuilding the lost serial archive from Circlet.com finally. You can start reading it here: https://www.circlet.com/the-prnces-boy-chapter-1/ (and it’s also being synched to Wattpad and Juke Pop Serials).
I just finished reading “Slow Seduction” and your are a gift. I bought the book a few years ago and recently found it in my pile of books. I read slow for various reasons but I just about memroize a books. The book had plot and real characters which made it all gel. You are now on my favored author list along with other distinguished authors. I read by author more than any other reason.
OMG, I just found this comment two weeks later. Thank you so much! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Read (listen) the first two struck by lightning series, but I can’t find the 3rd slow satisfaction. Wasn’t it done in audiobooks. I have more trouble reading because of migraines so I do audiobooks. I would love finish the ending. Not the first time I couldn’t finish an ending. Just wondering. Thanks.
Caroline, I’m sad to say the publisher of Slow Satisfaction (Forever, Grand Central Publishing) sold the audio rights to the first two books to Tantor Media, but for some reason didn’t sell book 3, and Tantor decided not to do it. No other audio publisher will buy only book 3 of a series, and the publisher won’t release it to me to do myself! I kind of feel like I ought to just make a version that I give away free instead of selling it, because I know you’re not the only person in that boat!
Hi Cecilia!
My leather reading group is looking to read “Telepaths Don’t Need Safewords” for our next selection. Is there a free copy of this available already somewhere or is there a better place to locate it other than Amazon?
Best,
Amber
Hi Amber! Sorry for the delay in my reply. For some reason the blog decided your comment could be spam and held it up in the moderation queue 😛
I’ll email you about it!
