Welcome! We're glad you're here. Mountain Girl Press is a very small press, but we are anxious to publish quality fiction and stories that will interest our readers and make them come back for more. We are located in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains; in the heart of Southwest Virginia.
Mountain Girl Press was formed to publish fiction that celebrates the wit, humor, and strength of Appalachian women. Our stories explore the relationships between mothers and daughters, sisters and friends, and the way they interact with each other. We are glad you found us and look forward to entertaining you with our stories.
Join us May 16, 17, and 18, for our 2008 MGP Book Tour as we celebrate the release of three new novels by three talented Appalachian fiction writers: Elizabeth Barker, Lisa Hall, and Susan Noe Harmon. Go to our Author Events page for complete details on times and locations.
Elizabeth Barker is new to the Mountain Girl Press family of authors. Her novel, Journey of the Brass Bed, takes you on an unforgettable journey with clever writing, interesting characters, and a fresh plot that will stick with you long after you've finished the book. Follow the journey of an antique bed as it is passed from family to family with no one learning its secret until the dawn of the twenty-first century. Sometimes the very thing that can save you is right in front of you. Your heart’s desires are often as close as your bedpost. Travel the journey with the promise of coming home.
Lisa Hall, a returning Mountain Girl Press author, continues her tale of life in a fictional Southwest Virginia town with her sequel to last year's Secrets, Lies, and Pies. Come back to Coleman, Virginia, the lively little town where pie is not the only dish on the menu. Cheaters, Pies, and Lullabies picks up where Secrets, Pies, and Lies ended and Marlene, Allison, Dorothy, and Charity team up for Round Two of Friends v. Hens. Nothing that anyone does in a small town goes without notice. So, how long can cheating spouses commence to carrying on without being caught? How does a new mother cope with evil stares and nasty comments as her parenting skills come under attack? Readers will find the answers to these and many other questions in Cheaters, Pies, and Lullabies.
Susan Noe Harmon, also a returning Mountain Girl Press author, entertains you with a look back at a different time in the mountains of Appalachia in her novel, Under the Weeping Willow. Step into the lives of one Kentucky family who will capture your heart and leave you wanting more. Belle, Pearl and Sara, three generations of Appalachian women, will teach you about life in a 1950’s family and how it touched the future. Under the Weeping Willow is a story about the closeness of family and how they enjoy the good times and pull together through the bad. Come into their world and live and learn from it along with them. You will feel like you’ve found a home and a family of Kentucky kin.
These three entertaining new novels go on sale May 16, 2008. Mark the date on your calendar and be sure to come back and order your copies then.
