Selected Works

Fiction
Venus of Chalk
This book unravels what you think you know about women and men, the freakish and the normal, shame and salvation -- then mends it anew into a most surprising story. -Alison Bechdel
Martha Moody
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
Fat Girl Dances with Rocks
Susan Stinson's first novel is full of big, beautiful language and her main character, Char, is one of the best teenaged heroines I've ever met. -Judith Katz
Excerpt from a novel-in-progress
Spider In a Tree
About Jonathan Edwards, the famous preacher, his family and slaves, during their years in Northampton throughout the Great Awakening.
