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 …

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 …
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 …
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 …

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.

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 …
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 …
