I hope you all enjoyed Chocolate Day. In our house, we celebrate every good day at least three days in a row. It’s nice. Birthday presents, special meals, unusual outtings, all spread out instead of dumped on the celebrant all in one 24 hour period. I think that should apply to everything. That may be [...]

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 [...]
Mark your calendars, the chat room will be open for our once a month romp on the 23rd at 10PM EST. We’ll be giving away new books, and, I’m sure, talking about Zombies, David Bowie, Vampires, and more. It’s a little crazy, but it’s always fun. See you there!

Fictionwise is having a sale on all multiformat books (which includes Drollerie Press!), 45% off all week long. Don’t miss out on some great reads.
Well, it’s the end of the week. Or it was over a half an hour ago for me. Unfortunately, I had Internet connectivity issues this afternoon and couldn’t get here to give away our last download, so I’m doing it now. Don’t forget, tomorrow afternoon we’ll be announcing the winner of the 10 free books [...]
Still Life with Devils by Deborah Grabien. This horrific mystery still gives me the collywoddles. Don’t forget that you have to be logged in to the blog to download the book and it goes away after the first ten people hit it.
In the city of San Francisco, it’s mid-October, darkness comes early, and a killer [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Scars on the Face of God: The Devil’s Bible by C. G. Bauer is popular with the Kindle crowd, at least according to Amazon. We think you should get to see what they they like so much. I admit, I like all of our books, but there’s something special about this one. It’s C. G. [...]

The next book we’re offering is Cindy Lynn Speer’s The Chocolatier’s Wife. This is a large file with decorative chapter titles, so be patient if it takes a little bit. We’re especially pleased to be offering a book of Cindy’s because she edited the anthology, “StereoOpticon: Fairy Tales in Split Vision,” a really great [...]
We had a lovely turnout for this event, and so, when it was time to draw the name from the big black hat of names-to-be-drawn, and we drew that one (who won ten books and shall be named later), there were still many, many names floating around in the hat. There were probably other things [...]

My true love gave to me “Moral Purposes” by Nora Fleischer, author of Over Her Head and a short story in the upcoming ghost story anthology. My favorite science fiction puts humanity in new places, while still struggling with age-old dilemmas. This is the story of a young man struggling to build a place for [...]
My true love gave to me “The Disenchanting of Princess Cerridwen” by Angela Korra’ti, author of the urban fantasy Faerie Blood and a story set in that world in Defiance, along with Joely Sue Burkhart and Laura Anne Gilman.
This story reminds me of a fairy tale I read when I was a child. It was [...]
My true love gave to me “Grail Bearer” an audio book story by Sarah Avery, released under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike license. If you like the story, she asks that you consider giving to the scholarship started by the man who inspired the story. Sarah Avery is the author of the Rugosa Coven [...]
My true love gave to me “Buried Secrets” by Heather Parker, the author of the humorous fantasy Middlewitch and an upcoming novel that continues the story, and “Falling”, a story included in StereoOpticon, by Imogen Howson, the author of Fire and Shadow, “Frayed Tapestry” and “Scented Poison” which is included in the Little Red Riding [...]
My true love gave to me “Widow’s Walk” by Meredith Holmes, which previously appeared in Needles & Bones. Meredith is also the author of Unseelie, a contemporary faerie fantasy, and another book in the same world, which is coming soon. Meredith, along with Joely Sue Burkhart, Angela Korra’ti, Cindy Lynn Speer and Michael F. [...]
My true love gave to me “The Bare Truth” by E. Grace Diehl and “Pride and Prejudice” (which has no relation to zombies or Jane Austen) by Heather Parker. Ms. Diehl’s story is a light piece unrelated to The Kinlea Keeper. Heather Parker’s story, while not explicitly in the same world as Middlewitch, could easily [...]
My true love gave to me The Golden Bough by Sir James George Frazer.
Mike Stewart, author of 24 Bones and one of the generous authors giving away the Jetbook Lite ereader at the end of this gift giving season, is not a short works writer. We therefore thought that a PDF of The Golden Bough, [...]
My true love gave to me “A Necklace of Rubies” by Cindy Lynn Speer. This story is one of the first Cindy ever sent to Drollerie Press, and a lovely fairy tale. It has a sort of European flavor reminiscent of Perrault’s tales, and reminds me a lot of a regency romance in clothing, actions, [...]
My true love gave to me, “Bloody Hands” by E. Grace Diehl and “A Perfect Rose” by Gary Inbinder.
You must be registered on the blog to download a story. There’s no limit to the number of stories that can be downloaded, but you are only entered into the drawing for the ebook reader once for [...]
My true love gave to me, “Answer Me” by Adrienne J. Odasso, a story included in the anthology Needles & Bones, and an erotic “Trianon” by Tim Mulcahy, author of the Paul Altimari stories in the anthology Things that Go Bump in the Night. Trianon is erotic, and you must be 18 or over to [...]
My true love gave to me “Survive My Fire” by Joely Sue Burkhart. This is a stunning novella by Ms. Burkhart and a fitting introduction to her lush style. Joely Sue Burkhart is also the author of “The Fire Within”, The Rose of Shanhasson, and The Road to Shanhasson (the first 2 books in a [...]
Well, the week is drawing to a close. I’ve had fun this week, putting up books for people to try, getting to “meet” new people. I hope you’ve enjoyed it too. Later today we’ll have a selection of free stories available from Meredith Holmes, John Lawson, and Sarah Avery. Tomorrow, we’ll draw the name for [...]
Today’s first book is Sarah Avery’s Closing Arguments. Don’t forget to log in to the blog before you try to download. Registration and login links are down there on the left side of the page.

“The Horse Master” is an early story set in Joely Sue [...]
If you haven’t caught it yet, there’s a great review of Joely Sue Burkhart’s Road to Shanhasson up on Whipped Cream Erotic Romance Reviews. Of course, I think it’s great because the reviewer really caught the power of the book.
Now they’re running a contest. Vote for Joely’s book as probably the best based on the [...]
We’re continuing our celebration of Read an Ebook Week with Gary Inbinder’s Confessions of the Creature. Remember that if you sign up to the blog, even if you don’t download a book, you’ll be entered into the drawing to win 10 free ebooks at the end of the week.
Frankenstein’s creature is determined to gain revenge [...]
Our second free ebook of the day is Rachael de Vienne’s Pixie Warrior.
The Pixie Warrior, Sha’el, is barely large enough to see out of her father’s pocket, but there are two worlds in need of saving.
She is the daughter of Sha’na, daughter of the High Queen Sha’miya, daughter of Sha, daughter of Tanath, daughter [...]
Our first free ebook for today is Shadow of the Antlered Bird by David Sklar. Don’t forget that you have to register with the blog and be signed in before you can download and that once 10 copies are gone, it’s gone.

So many of you downloaded so many books that I was hard pressed to figure out the best way to do the drawing. Normally, my daughter draws from a hat (it’s her official position around here), but this time, in the interest of saving paper and so as not to have to try to find [...]
