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 as we celebrate the release of our third short story
collection titled
Christmas Blooms; the latest addition to the
Mountain Girl Press short story collections.  Each story brings
to life characters who are blooming where they are planted;
regardless of the circumstance.  From the heartwarming to the
hilarious, the stories explore the theme of an Appalachian
Christmas.  They tell the tales of mothers, daughters,
grandmothers, sisters, and friends who come together to make
Christmas special for their families.  Whether you are striving
for an old fashioned Christmas filled with homemade cookies
and eggnog, or are just happy to get the presents wrapped and
underneath the tree by Christmas morning,
Christmas Blooms
is filled with stories that will warm your heart.

Come to the Blackbird Bakery on Saturday,
November 1, 2008 from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. to meet the
writers and the publisher of
Christmas Blooms.  Authors will
be on hand to sign a copy of the collection for you.  Make
sure you pick up copies for everyone on your Christmas
shopping list as well.
