Sidle Creek (2023)
Jolene McIlwain
"Author Jolene McIlwain shines in this debut collection of short stories showcasing her profound vision, authenticity, and compassion. These stories and characters will sear themselves in your mind and heart forever, such is the beauty and precision of McIlwain's prose, the deftness of her storytelling chops. Like Annie Proulx, this author intimately knows the places and people of her stories. Knows their secrets, their histories, their heartaches, and all-too-human failings. McIlwain brings to vivid life the unique world of rural Appalachia with wisdom and candor and an uncanny ear for dialogue. A masterful collection, Sidle Creek is only the beginning for a stunning writer we'll be hearing much more from in years to come."
Journey to the Heart Stone (2022)
Catherine Raphael
"Catherine Raphael is a writer of singular voice and vision. The world she builds is vividly imagined and populated by unforgettable, archetypal characters. Raphael's intelligence, intuition, and masterful storytelling are on full display in what is ultimately a story about connectedness: to nature, to the universe, and to each other. A stunning debut, Journey to the Heart Stone will hold you in its grip, page by compelling page."
