Samhain Publishing Ltd. Weblog

A little about me...

I’m new to blogging here and haven’t figured out how to use all the functions, so no pics today! Plus, I’ve been deep in NaNoWriMo (an annual, month-long international writing challenge), so my mind’s just a bit consumed with the next scene of the story I’m working on.

But I wanted to come by, introduce myself, and promise you I’ll get this all figured out so that we have some fun here in the future!

I’m Delilah Devlin. I have two books published so far with Samhain and two more coming shortly. Three contemporary westerns and one paranormal (gargoyles and gods) story. Over the course of my career I’ve published over fifty stories, many of them in paperback now. Be sure to check out my website to get a feel for what I do.

Being an author is the last career I intend to have. I’ve been an army officer, a project manager, a comptroller, a teacher. I was raised an Air Force brat and continued to travel all over the world when I disappointed my dad with my choice of branch of service. So, I don’t really have any place I call home, although I lived in Texas a total of fourteen years and Germany for seven.

All that traveling, all those varied experiences have fed my imagination. And until I started writing, I lived in two worlds. The real world and my imagination.

Imagine my relief when I started writing and could blend the two!

Now, when I talk to myself I can shrug my shoulders and say I’m working out a character’s dialogue while I argue with the hero. When my daughter nudges me because I’ve zoned out during a conversation, she doesn’t think I’m nuts. She knows I’m in my other world, tearing down a mountainside with a shapeshifting dragon on my heels.

I have the best job in the world and I’m grateful for the talent the “powers that be” have blessed me with.

I blog nearly every day and have an active chat loop. I make time to connect with readers, so don’t be shy about contacting me. And pretty often I go to my readers to ask them what they’d like to see next.

That’s it. Again, I promise to get this thing figured out and then we’re gonna play!
