Deborah Grabien wrote a book that was published in 1994 in the UK. It’s never been made available in the US or anywhere else… until now. (See proposed cover art to the right.) We’ll be releasing it in January in print and ebook.

Bookroom Reviews posted a review of Joely Sue Burkhart’s newest release Beautiful Death.
“Joely has a gift of great imagination, including the apocalyptic future world that she created. I could even see this book as a movie. ”

“Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my form is a filthy type of yours, more horrid even from the very resemblance. Satan had his companions, [...]
Happy holidays, everybody! For this end of the year Drollerie Blog Tour, while you’re all sipping your holiday nog and listening to seasonal music on your MP3 players, we’re hoping to shake things up a bit with a theme of dangerous writing. Enjoy!
John Rosenman visits Sarah Avery’s place, and shares with us the tale of [...]
And now, as promised, it’s the first official round of the Drollerie Press Authors Blog Tour!
We have a well-rounded bunch of people writing for Drollerie, and it’s our hope to let readers get to to know us all. And by readers, I mean not only the visitors to the official Drollerie blog, but everybody who [...]
Hi again all! It’s time for the April 2009 Drollerie Blog Tour. In honor of April being National Poetry Month, this time around we’re all doing posts on the theme of poetry: how it influenced our writing, and in some cases, our characters! Come by and check out what we’ve got to say this time, [...]
Hi again folks, Anna here with the next Drollerie Blog Tour post update!
First and foremost, everybody, we’ve decided to move the posting date for each blog tour to the 21st of the month. This is so as to have a post date that falls more into the middle of the month when we’re doing themes [...]
We’ve had a bit of a hiatus on this, y’all, but as of this month I’m reinstating the Drollerie Blog Tour! This time around, though, we’re doing something different: we’re inviting non-Drollerie authors to come participate, and so for the February round, several of my fellow Drollerie authors and I will be swapping posts with [...]
Hi folks!
I’m Angela Korra’ti, author of the forthcoming Drollerie novel FAERIE BLOOD, and I wanted to spread the word about the first monthly blog tour by Drollerie authors. Every month we hope to visit each other’s blogs, write about different topics, and give each other a chance to promote our work to new audiences.
This month [...]
These days, the Drollerie Press forums practically echo with emptiness. The only people who wander through are two DP authors, and we really only haunt one thread (Word Associations). This is very sad, because the forums have enormous potential for community fun! Thus, I have hatched a devious plan to kick-start new forum activity, and [...]
We have a lovely new story up for you–and it’s a free read! I hope you enjoy Joely Sue Burkhart’s Well of Sky as much as I did.
The delightful and talented Catherine Schaff-Stump is posting a serialized novel called Blood is Thicker than Water (several installments of which are already available) on the author and artist group blog, Las Habladoras. We’ll be having a story out from Catherine before the end of the year, but if you can’t wait, this should help. [...]
Rachel V. Olivier, author of “The Holly and the Ivan,” is holding a contest to give away 4 copies. Just visit her blog and tell her a happy holiday story of your own in the comments, and she’ll add your name to the drawing to be held on the 15th of December. If you can’t [...]

A long time ago, there was this gorilla I knew. I was out of work, and the gorilla was similarly unemployed. At least he appeared to be, for every time I went to the Minneapolis zoo, all 800 pounds of him would be waiting for me at the cage bars like he [...]
The versatile and talented Heather Ingemar will be providing a creative writing workshop for teens at the Columbia County Rural Library District in Dayton, WA on November 7th. Heather’s YA sequence, Dream Drinker Tales, will be out in ebook from Drollerie Press later this year, and in print in 2009. Heather’s stories, like so [...]
Fire and Shadow
By
Imogen Howson
Don’t read this if you’re afraid of the dark…
Whilst looking at the books available from Drollerie Press, I was intrigued by an excerpt from this novella. The author has created terrifying beings – the Shadows lurking in the dark, gloomy forests and swamps of a mythical village. Fear and hopelessness [...]
In the middle of July, it seemed highly appropriate to those of us at Drollerie to make the theme of this month’s blog tour “summer”. So here you go, folks: a set of posts we hope you’ll enjoy for your beach reading. Or wherever else you like to read during the long summer months!
Please give [...]
Hi all! June has been a bit of a wacky month for those of us at Drollerie, but we’ve gotten together a blog tour round of posts for you regardless. This time, we’re addressing the theme of fathers. As always, we invite you to come by all our various sites to see what everybody’s got [...]
This month’s Drollerie Blog tour is live! Our theme this month is Character Interviews, and we’re all particularly proud of this round as it’s given us all a chance to read each other’s works and introduce ourselves to each other’s characters. We hope you’ll find the pieces that result as entertaining to read as we [...]
It’s Drollerie Blog Tour time again, folks, and in honor of the month of May and Mother’s Day, this month’s topic is “mothers”. Go check out what our participating authors have to say this time around!
The Drollerie Press Blog Tour Rolls Through Town Again, And Everybody’s Talking About Mothers – Sarah Avery with a tasty [...]

Joely Sue Burkhart, author of some very sexy fantasy and science fiction reading, has just uploaded a free story on her website. It’s set in her Shanhasson world, and is a prequel to the Shanhasson trilogy. The first book in the Shanhasson trilogy is Rose of Shanhasson. The second, Road to Shanhasson will be out [...]
Hi folks!
Due to various and sundry scheduling issues (including my very first official deadline for a new piece I’m writing at the end of this month), the Drollerie authors won’t be doing a blog tour this month. However, Rachael de Vienne has kindly hosted some guest posts by her fellow Drollerie authors, so we’d like [...]
Hey all, and welcome to the October 2009 edition of the Drollerie Blog Tour! This month’s theme is the lesser-known holiday of Sweetest Day, and we’re taking the opportunity to touch upon the general theme of what the day stands for: those who are encouraging to us. Some of us will be addressing this in [...]
Hi all, the Drollerie authors are back from our August hiatus to bring you this month’s Drollerie Blog Tour! Our theme this month is “music”, and we had a whole bunch of us come out of the woodwork to share posts with one another on something that’s clearly universal to us all. Check out the [...]
Due to Drollerie author Meredith Holmes being ill (please go by her place and wish her well, folks), we weren’t able to include Elisa Diehl’s post on the topic of Dangerous Writing!
I’ve now posted on her behalf over here! Do give her a read.
Happy holidays to all and see you in January for our next [...]
The Drollerie Press authors have a mail loop on which they discuss important issues such as when I might be expected to finish the royalty statements this quarter (I think there’s a betting pool), and the best way to autograph an ebook.
One of them mentioned some other press that publishes books about rabbits (the name [...]
“The idea of death, the fear of it, haunts the human animal like nothing else; it is a mainspring of human activity-designed largely to avoid the fatality of death, to overcome it by denying in some way that it is the final destiny of man.” -Ernest Becker
Death is all around us. Every day we see [...]

I’d like to share with y’all the fundraising drive being put on by the Cystic Fibrosis foundation. It’s called Unleash Your Story and details can be found on www.unleashyourstory.wordpress.com It’s a read/write-a-thon and you can participate as individuals or in a team. Similar to fundraising walks and bike rides and runs, you commit to a [...]
Tracing the origins of stories can be fascinating. It’s probably one of the reasons I like reading re-imagined myths and fairy tales—I love being halfway through a book and getting that shock of recognition when I realise “oh, it’s Tam Lin in twentieth-century Bristol” (Fire and Hemlock by Diana Wynne Jones, in case you were [...]
Well, I’m thankful to report that we’re back in business. The electricity returned Tuesday night, and the Internet access and telephone were working fine by Wednesday afternoon.
I’m also posting to announce that Jennifer Cloud has released one of her backlist for free on her website. Jennifer writes really unusual stories that entertain, but also make [...]
