The classic, groundbreaking chapbook of BDSM science fiction by Cecilia Tan, originally published in 1992, now available as an ebook! All three stories from the original collection are included, Telepaths Don't Need Safewords, Cat Scratch Fever, and Heart's Desire.

Cecilia Tan launched her career as an erotica writer and erotic science fiction pioneer in 1991 when she wrote "Telepaths Don't Need Safewords" and first released it on the alt.sex.bondage newsgroup. She then founded Circlet Press to publish the printed edition, and quickly expanded to publishing many other works of erotic science fiction and fantasy. She is the author of many other books and stories, including the forthcoming novella, Royal Treatment (which tells a story of the youth of one of the "Telepaths" main characters) which will be out in December from Torquere Press.

"Cecilia Tan is simply one of the most important writers, editors, and innovators in contemporary American erotic literature. What's just as remarkable is that her insight, wit, and craft has only become beguiling each year. I am always interested in what she has to say, and I look forward to her every new [work]." -- Susie Bright
