And so Eating the Fantastic says farewell to Balticon … by saying hello to writer, editor, publisher, foodie, baseball enthusiast (and more!) Cecilia Tan.<\/p>\n

Cecilia is the publisher of Circlet Press, the author of the Slow Surrender trilogy<\/em> and the serialized Darron’s Guitar Chronicles<\/em>, the cowriter of The 50 Greatest Yankee Games<\/em> and The 50 Greatest Red Sox Games<\/em> … but that’s just a partial list of her accomplishments, as this episode will reveal. We broke away from Balticon for lunch at Family Meal (the site of my earlier chats with Sarah Pinsker<\/a> and Fran Wilde<\/a>), as the restaurant’s not only good, but extremely close to the con hotel.<\/p>\n

Cecilia and I discussed how her self-published Telepaths Don\u2019t Need Safewords<\/em> gave birth to the Circlet Press empire, the advice she received from Tor publisher Tom Doherty, her love for the Legion of Super-Heroes, the lesson you should learn from the fact mass market publishing finally caught up with what she’d been doing all along, and much more. Plus a few things you might not know about her, such as her teen presidency of the largest Menudo fan club in the English-speaking world!<\/p>\n
