Two copies of a hardcover novel-in-verse called Walking Wheel by Molly Fisk, standing up on a wooden table next to a half-drunk latte. The book has a gold and brown William Morris design background, sort of a wheat field motif, with the title and author in white and a graphic in dark brown and dusty coral of two men carrying something between them on a stick. It looks like three very large (torso-sized) strawberries, but that can't be right. This book drops on April 7th from Red Hen Press.

Learning to read (in public) from a novel-in-verse, when all I've written before are discrete poems. Yesterday was my second try, better than the first. If you have any tips, I'd love to hear them! 📚⏳ #walkingwheel #redhenpress #novelinverse #hardwork #lovestory #quietwestern

My new verse novel Walking Wheel with orange cover and white lettering is held in the arm of an oversized concrete lizard riding in an old rust colored Model T Ford (I think) with lavender interior. A black steering wheel is in the background center left, and a high paned window is up in the right corner. This is public art by Solomon Bassoff/Faducci, and the photo was taken in his studio in North San Juan, CA.

My pre-orders are landing today, some perhaps not on Planet Earth! It is so fun. Pub date is still 4/7. #booksky #walkingwheel #novelinverse #versenovel #historicalfiction #pioneersexandalsochildbirth #tenderfunnyeroticsurprising #redhenpress #getoneforyourselfandoneforyourlibrary

(2/2) Forthcoming from @redhenpress.bsky.social, this book is a taut, international thriller set in the Indian Ocean, where assassins, soldiers, and shadowy operatives cross paths with deadly consequences.

Calliope is deeply satisfied by WEATHER WOMAN. Author, Cai Emmons was a tale-teller of fierce force. A story of a woman who can change the weather? Yes! So moving. So mysterious. So beautiful. 4 🐾s up! RIP, Cai Emmons #RedHenPress #ReadingWithCats #WritingCommunity
