Immensely proud to see the news that SILK & SINEW has been nominated for the Shirley Jackson Award AND @audreyzhou.bsky.social is nominated for her absolutely stunning story, "Mother's Mother's Daughter." (Audrey you rock so much!!) I can't express how much this has all meant to me.

Publication day today! Harrowfield is open to visitors. If you like quiet folk horror, a village with strange traditions and both an occult and pagan past, you might like this one. Come visit mybook.to/Harrowfield

Print wrap of Harrow field book cover. Front shows a tree standing over 2 small monoliths. On the back.a larger monolith watches them and above two ravens fly.

Blurb: Harrowfield is a tiny village in the Marches, that would strip of borderline between England and Wales. On the edge of this village lies another field the Harrow Field, the one from.which the settlement takes its name. At its entrance stands the Mother stone guarding her Children, two smaller stones standing at the top of the field. This is the ancient site of the Harrowing.

When Derwenna Party's brother goes missing whilst surveying farmland, she and his daughters head to the village to track him down. Midsummer approaches and even though they find him unharmed, they become caught up in strange events which lead them to the Harrowing. An ancient act of penance ... or sacrificial revenge.
