Martha Moody Twenty-fifth anniversary edition from Small Beer Press!

I can think of no-one who writes with more love, passion, and precision about the pleasures of the body and the pleasures of the soul, and that nebulous intersection of body and soul.-Elizabeth McCracken

Spider In a Tree

Small Beer Press
"Like Jonathan Edwards, Stinson reads the natural world as well as Scripture, searching for meaning. But instead of the portents of an angry god, what she finds there is something numinous, complicated, and radiantly human." -Alison Bechdel

Venus of Chalk

Venus of Chalk is by turns tender and ruthless, dark and funny, haunting and starkly contemporary. In spare, eloquent prose Stinson mines depths most writers shy away from. This is one ride you won't want to miss. -- Alison Smith, author, Name All the Animals. Now available at Book Moon Books!
