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." Mae's story appears in the upcoming anthology A Bit of Magic. The anthology is a re-telling of classic fairy tales, and having had the opportunity to read several of the stories, I'd like …

Some days, you just can't win. My life is one of those days. Most people who work hard and aren't idiots will usually get to a point in their thirties where they can afford the space for a washing machine. They may opt out of owning a dryer, but they could have one. Let's just …
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 …
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.

Well, I'm behind on blog entries again. Still? As usual? I've got this New Year's resolution that I'm going to blog more because some exciting things are upcoming for me (and for you, as my readers), but like many people, I'll just start those resolutions tomorrow. Or the day after. Eh, eventually. But I do …
Today I'm excited to announce that I'm going to be doing a blog series on one of my favorite things: swords! However, I'm not going to be blogging about them here because I'm a jerk like that. Instead, I'll be looking at a different aspect about medieval European swords over at the JL blog. In …
Well, it appears I've neglected my blog again. This keeps happening, and I need to remedy it. Maybe I should map out intended topics, or something, and hold myself hostage until I get them written. Actually, that sounds weird. Too weird, even for me. So, let's mosey on along, shall we? Yes, we shall. Today …
Well, I just glanced at the date of my last post, and great is my shame. So much for my New Year's resolution. But hey, those are made to be broken, right? Sure. But I'm back with a post today because I've got some exciting news: the Whispers in the Shadows anthology comes out on …
