*Wanders in, coughs, swats away cobwebs* By the decaying bones of Shakespeare! Blast, but it's been a while since I've dropped by. Wh-what happened to this place? Is...is that a spider the size of a Labrador? What in the world has been going on here? Wow. I've got my work cut out getting this place …
Behold! An Anthology!
Looking for something to read as the days become darker, shorter and colder? Or, if you live in the southern hemisphere, looking for something to read as you bask in the awareness that the rest of us are preparing for months of scraping ice off windows, trudging through snow and begging the powers that be …
Interview with Kristy Perkins
Welcome back, my most patient readers. Today, in anticipation of the release of Secrets in Our Cities (the urban fantasy anthology with which I've tantalized you previously), I have fellow author Kristy Perkins here to answer some questions. Her story "No One Delivers to the Sewers" is a fun read featuring a witty dragon. Anyhow, let's …
Cover Reveal
Feast your eyes upon that gorgeous cover! This is the project that I've been involved in for several months now with some of my writer friends. A werewolf, a necromancer, a potential zombie apocalypse, a lot of dry humor, and a bit of romance. This is what I offer to you in my short …
Interview with Mae Baum
All right, it's interview time here at Delusions of Sanity, and today's guest is Mae Baum, who is promoting her story "Bluebeard's Wives."

Adventures at the Laundromat

Story at Cast of Wonders
I am happy to announce that my story "The Death Knight, the Dragon and the Damsel" is available to both read and hear over at Cast of Wonders. Link to a really fun story. No, seriously. It's fun. Check it out. Please (see I used my manners). It's Cast of Wonder's 300th story and it's …
Fortes and Foibles
Contrary to the title, this post will have nothing to do with swords. I know, I know, you need a moment to compose yourselves after the shock. Go ahead, take your time, I'm patient--mostly. Ok, better? Good. Today's post is going to be about writing. Now, there is a story behind this but it's laced …

Rejection, or Ah, *bleep*
I've been thinking for a while about tackling a subject that many of us writers face. Actually, I think it's a human issue, not simply a first world problem for would-be authors. Rejection. Here's the thing, rejection hurts. It's like getting slapped in the face. With a puffer fish. It stings, it burns, it leaves …
